; Speaking before the Salem Ki
wanif dub this week Dr. Paul 1
Haver, administrator for Bonne
; ville 'power, defended the policy
' of constructing transmission lines
from, federal power projects to
rnake the power available over the
area I to be served. He warned
that while opposition to the build
ing of dams by the government
was quiescent there was a per
sistent opposition to the construc
. tion of the transmission1 lines.
; He also reiterated the limita
tions on government activity in I
the field . of distribution, stating
that the law did not permit the .
. government to engage in retail
distribution but allowed it to serve
as producer and wholesaler of i
power.
So far as the people of Oregon
are concerned I think they recog- j
, nize that the government which
has built the dam is justified in
constructing the general trans-
' mission , lines. Otherwise power
would not be available all over
the area save through some inter
mediary. The spread of the pow-
erful transmission r lines also
i makes possible a spread of in
dustry utilizing power and per
mits a blanket rate over a wide
area. The two latter features have
appealed to communities situated
at some distance from the power
. plants themselves.
f .While it Is true that private
companies are interconnected,
' their lines are not heavy enough
to carry the full load that must
be moved from the huge gener
ators at Bonneville
