jjTemporary Rate Hike In tttect Mere Monday Two Parishes Relief Centers Continuous operation of steam electric plants to relieve the present deficiency of hydro-electric power in the Pacific north west region will result, com mencing with the customer me ter reading on and after Novem ber 24, in a temporary 20 per tent surcharge on normal bill ings for service. I Fred G. Starrett, manager of the Willamette valley division, Portland General Electric com pany, said the surcharge would be effective in all parts of the Willamette valley territories erved by PGE and would cover all classes of consumption with ,ithe exception of municipal street and highway lighting. Steam plants of the region have been operating on around-the-clock basis since tearly September, and have add Ced heavily to operation costs, H Starrett said. In the intervening time, PGE I During the week of Novem has accumulated more than $l,-ber 23 to 30, collection head auu.uuu aDove normal power costs," he said. "The excess war far too great for the company to absorb within present con- summer rate levels. Other elec tric companies of the region sim ilarly have been hit by the extra costs of steam electric generation and are resorting to surcharges." Hayesville Starrett said, the number of months the surcharge would re main in effect would depend upon the duration of the present power emergency which already has resulted in a 10 per cent cut back of power use among large users all over the northwest Records of the company will be audited monthly by the pub lic utiltites commissioner of Ore gon in order to determine the amount of excess cost accruing. and he will order the surcharge to be adjusted, if necessary, or terminate as promptly as possi ble. Starrett said Operation of steam plants by the electric companies not only has delayed the imposition of mandatory power curtailment on the region's larger industries for many weeks, but also has great ly minimized it in degree. Star rett estimated the present 10 per cent cut-back ordered by the de fense electric power administra tion would be several times larg er were it not for steam plant operation. Allowing the steam plants to remain idle merely to hold power production costs down would result in thousands of workers being laid off in the region's large industrial plants and could wreck the areas econ omy. Factors behind the present, power shortage and its attendant burden of curtailment and addi tional costs are numerous, Star rett explained, but chief among them has been the excessive loading of the northwest power resources with aluminum plants and other large power eating in dustries located in the region by government authority and under long term power contracts. The conflict between the pow er and fishing industries also has had its effect. Starrett pointed out that had the construction of PGE's proposed Pelton dam on the Deschutes river not been de layed it could have alleviated the present power curtailment by one-third and greatly reduced the excess costs of steam gener ation. Pelton dam, together with the I larger Round Butte project, also proposed for construction on the Osiris was a legendary king Deschutes, would turn out suf- quarters for the Thanksgiving collection of clothing, blankets, and shoes for relief of the over seas refugees will be at St. Vin cent de Paul and St. Joseph par ishes, it is announced by Rev, John Reedy and Rev.
