company Thursday filed its an
company on block 35 North
the Salem zoning commission or
"city council had lawfully before
it duly authorized and legal
remonstrances signed by more
than 30 -per cent of the owner:
of real property in the affected
area.
The answer savs that some of
the petitioners attempted to
withdraw from the petition for
a zone change to allow cstab
lishment of the substation and
object to the change, but it
avers that they were induced to
attempt to change their position
by plaintiff misrepresenting the
effect of such zone change and
alleges they would not have
asked that their names be with
drawn but for such alleged mis
representations. Other signers
of the alleged remonstrance pc
tition, says the answer, did not
have authority to sign it and
were not qwners as defined by
city ordinance.
The answer savs that the de
fendant has expanded funds and
made plans for the erection of
the subsatlon and that delay in
the construction and operation
will cost further funds and pre
vent the introduction of needed
electric service in the area to
be served. It is charged also
that the plaintiff delayed un
reasonably in bringing the suit
and is guilty of laches.
The answer is accompanied
by an affidavit of John Bankus,
chief engineer for the electric
company, which states that al
though no restraining order has
been issued the defendant com
pany has stopped work on the
project pending determination of
the suit since a large sum of
money is required to build the
substation. He says the sub
station is urgently needed to
give necessary service and It
will require about three months
to complete, with work delayed
further if it runs Into prolonged
rainy weather. He says the sub
station is needed not only to
serve the adjoining area but to
provide an alternative source
of power to downtown Salem
and to serve as a slepdown for
higher voltage.
