Bonneville delivers within the city limits for Salem citizens all of the low cost electric power the area will ever require, and .we of Salem Electric, who have and use it, feel that it is for you too, should you wish It But how far should we go to keep the channels open to you? ' Our servants. Mayor Elfstrom and three out of the four councilmen now seeking re-election, denied the Hollywood district a public hearing on their rights and free dom to have if they wish; their own Bonneville, through their own Salem Electric. They denied to Salem Electric equal rights and offered instead a franchise that they could terminate in 90 days and which would, if accepted by Salem Electric directors, wipe out our local enterprise and, add 25 to 55 to the power costs of those who are now enjoying the power of the poor man and of Industry. Ninety days would not be sufficient time should the citizens wish-to recall these gentlemen. 1 Just what charms PGE may have or what Interests some of our councilmen have in that power monopoly, may never be known. But how far they will go to keep the citizens pouring cream into the monopolies treasury is now on the records. It seems that Salem citizens will have to wrestle from their own councilmen rights demanded by our forefathers and made a part of our constitution by the 14th amend ment. As we get closer to the solution of that wire cutting, it begins to look as though some who will seek your votes for re-election, sanctioned it and ordered the arrest of those of us who attempted to restore service to that citizen, by recent annexation, who for four days, bad his freedom from PGE and would be saving $5.00 of an $15.00 power bill and $11.00 on a $34.00 bill, etc. H.
