Advice that the Waterloo site might be reconsidered was con firmed in a notice of the Eu gene hearing from the engin eer's district office at Portland which stated, "Storage at Water loo site on South Santiam may be proposed in lieu of Green Peter, Wiley creek and Jordan because of unsatisfactory foun dation condition at the Green Peter site." Move to object to the possi bility has been put into motion by the Lebanon Chamber of Commerce, points being that a dam at this site would inundate thousands of acres of productive farm lands, would wipe out large industrial investments and big payrolls, and also deflate real estate values on all prop erties on the city side of the dam. It was determined when the chamber committee met with Ivan E. Oakes, engineer-analyst of the state's Willamette river basin commission, that local data should be gathered show ing industrial, payroll, real estate and other loss the dam at Waterloo would occasion, and to present this evidence in writing at tne t-ugene hearing.

First, President Merrill said, the Mountain States company has become an independent ope rating utility as the result of stock transactions which took place in March whereby the Standard Gas and Electric Co. disposed of its entire holdings, 140,614 shares of common stock which have been distributed to the general public. The com pany has thus acquired 1600 new stockholders, and a present total of 4029 common stock holders, he added. Secondly, the report states, a straight-line depreciation ac counting system was effected January 1, 1947, in lieu of the former policy of making annual appropriations equal to 15 per cent of gross operating revenues less maintenance. The third important develop ment, President Merrill stated, involves a contract which the company has signed with the Bonneville administration es tablishing the Mountain States company as a distributor of Bonneville power in a section of the company's Willamette valley property. Net income of the Mountain States company increased by $296,832.46 or 39.05 per cent during the 12 months ending February 28 and federal state and local tax payments and res ervation increased $305,815 or approximately the same per centage, according to the report.
