Area Despite Outcome of Mote
SUteman
DETROIT, Nov. 23 Opponents of the Detroit-Idarihi merger
Incorporation proposal claimed a point today when the jBenton-Lin-coln
Electric cooperative announced it would serve ; customers in the
rea even if incorporation is voted down. j i
The announcement came from Don Corliss representative of the
co-op which will supply Bonneville power to jthe permanent U S.
engineers housing project and the
new U. S. forest service camp,
both above Detroit. The co-op is
already serving the Detroit dam
project.
Proponents of -the proposed
merger and Incorporation of De
troit and Idanha, led by Idanha
Justice of the Peace Edison Vick
ers; have contended that incorpor
ation ; is necessary to make the
area eligible for Bonneville pow
er. They also state it is necessary
to insure an adequate water sup
ply. The cities, four miles apart, are
now served by the Idanha Power
company, owned by Paul Rey
nolds. The Lincoln-Benton co-op
has attempted to purchase the fa
cility, but rejected Reynold's of
fer as too high.
The organization will complete
the 7-mile right-of-way clear
ing from the Detroit dam site to
the Breitenbush bridge above De
troit by February 1. Bonneville
lines will then be installed irnme
d'tely. Meanwhile, the battle over the
p posed merger and incorpora
tion will go into Marion county
circuit court in Salem Monday.
The faction favqring merger of
Idanha and part of Detroit will
attempt to obtain a restraining or
der barring a" December 9 elec
tion proposing incorporation of
Idanha alone.
If the court turns down the re-qt.est,-
the December 9 election
will proceed under orders of the
Marion county court. Should a re
straining order be issued, voters
will decide December 12 whether
Idanha and a section of Detroit
should be merged and incorpora
