Erdahl, chairman of the Pacific Northwest Utilities Confer ence, testified that power demands in Washington, Oregon and North ern Idaho are expected to almost double within that period. "This means." Erdahl said, "that work on the multiple-purpose projects under construction by the Corps of Engineers at The Dalles, McNary and Chief Joseph must go forward on schedule, or a power shortage will be imminent. Erdahl asked the committee to approve 63i million dollars for The Dalles project, 18 million for Chief Joseph, and 11 million for McNary, together with $500,000 planning funds for the John Day Dam. These amounts already have been voted by the House in the public works appropriations bill. Prompt Decisions Erdahl said that "Almost as ur gent to our region as the mainten ance of schedule on present con struction is the need for prompt decisions on the start of new proj ects." "We have no time to lose if we are to avoid a hiatus in our devel opment when projects now building have been completed and their power output absorbed, as it will be almost as quickly as the genera tors start turning." Explaining the arrangement un der which public and private utili ies work to operate the Northwest Power Pool. Erdahl said that non federal utilities of the region have expended 527 million dollars on power facihties in the past five years. "We are prepared to spend an even greater amount during the next five years," he- said. Supporting Erdahl's request for funds were A. II. Wegner of the Washington Water Power Co.; Bob Jones, chairman of the Seattle city utilities committee; Ralph H. Mill sap, vice president of the Portland General Electric Co.; George Rog ers, attorney for the Pacific Pow er k Light Co.; Alex Radin, gen eral manager of the American Public Power Assn., and Ken Bill ington, executive secretary of the Washington Public Utility Districts Assn.

It was at this point that sug gestions were made that the state carry all these kinds of insurance for the counties. The state now carries a self insurance system on its own buildings. Some of the district attorneys suggested that this might be expanded to include the counties. Cummins also recommended that the district attorneys take an "aggressive interest" in 9 the welfare of their county officials. He said they should keep the county officers out of trouble be fore they get into it. New criminal laws passed by the recent legislature were ex plained by Asst Atty. Gen. Wolf D. Von . Otterstedt.
