Power Lines
Law Sought
The attorney general may be
asked for an opinion as to wheth
er or not a 1935 law still on the
statute ! books would permit the
state to construct lines to distrib
ute Bonneville power to its in
stitutions, board of control mem
bers indicated Friday. The 1935
act would enable the state to pro
rate the cost of the lines to each
department served.
Unless this act could be utilized,
there is no way for the state to ob
tain funds for construction of the
lines aside from a specific legis
lative appropriation.

Here's a hearty salute to the 250 PGE line
men and repair men who labored cease

during the recent sleet storm. Some of them
didn't get their shoes off for 72 hours. It was
the hardest kind of work and plenty dan
gerous, too. But these soldiers of the storm
stayed right in there fighting, night and day.
We also want to thank our customers for
their patience. Incidentally, the sleet storm,
worst in more than 20 years, cost PGE tens
of thousands of dollars.
