Electric Co-op
Rejects Offer
On Franchise
Tbe Salem a Electric franchise
voted last month by Salem City
CounciJ was turned down cold
Tuesday by the cooperative elec
tric service. : ." " '
This was about as predicted by
Salem Electric officials who had
informed the city they wouldn't
accept any terms more restrictive
to their operations than previous
franchises. The franchise as fi
nally approved by the Co u n c il
couldn't become effective unless
Salem Electric agreed to it within
30 days. j
Principal objection of the coop
erative to the offered franchise
was a provision that new service
oa the east side of the Willamette
River could be extended only to
areas adjacent to present Salem
Electric service.
: New service also would require
petition by affected property own
ers, but this has been in effect
and was not a target of Salem
Electric criticism.
When West Salem became part
of Salem, the cooperative was pro
tected with a new 20-year franchise
from West Salem Council. Most of
its operation at that time was in
West Salem. A city initiative meas
ure in 1948 was approved by the
voters ui emraiiciiiie oaitnu tucv
tric in Salem proper, but since that
time city officials have contended
the provisions are too vague,
i A still-later franchise drawn up
by the City Council has been gen
erally followed although it was not
formally agreed to by Salem Elec
tric, according to its officials.:
n A vi : j 4 IV.
- UT. UT A. vnson, presmcm vt. im
Salem Electric board, wrote in a
letter to Mayor Robert F. White
Tuesday, that "we shall continue
under our two present unexpired
franchises as we have in past
years."
: Olson's letter blamed "the com
plications of last-minute amend
ments" made by the Council to
the franchise. He expressea we
wish to have Salem Electric op
erate in harmony wkh the city.

Auto Dealer
Ruling Given
By Thornton!
Automobile dealers who contract
to waive or make instalment pay
ments for or on behalf of car pur
chasers who become unemployed
are engaged in selling insurance,
Attorney Y. Thornton ruled here
Tuesday. - j
Insurance Commissioner Robert
B. Taylor requested the opinion
Knowing a -compiaini mat some
automobile dealers are advertising
unemployment benefits to all per
sons who buy cars in instalment
contracts. The deals are not un
derwritten ,by any accredited in
surance company and are backed
solely by the dealer, Thornton said.
Thornton ruled that whether or
not the contract is in writing and
whether or not a charge is know
ingly paid by the purchaser vdoes
not affect the validity of the agree
ment, i
Such agreements are contracts
substantially amounting to insur
ance, Thornton said, and automo
bile dealers offering to waive or
make such payments for the pur
chaser if he becomes unemployed
are required to comply with- the
general insurance law. -
