Claim Absurd,
Delzell Says
. Citing past negotiations which
cover a period ot more than
decade, Thomas ' W. Delzell
chairman of the board of Port
land General Electric company,
termed "absurd" the allegations
that PGK has preferred taking
a chance on dump energy to the
assurance which the company's
customers would have had un
der long-term contracts with
Bonneville Power Administra
tion.
"The contention that PGE
would take such a gamble at the
expense of its customers Is com
pletely at variance with the
facts," Delzell said, "and the
Idea that the company has
enough fat on its bones to ab
, sorb the excess costs created by
team generation . during the
power shortage is at odds with
the strict regulation imposed on
us by the public utilities com
mission of Oregon."
Delzell said that PGE has
been endeavoring, without suc
cess, to secure a satisfactory
lone-term contract since 1039.
He pointed out that, "Back in
1041-42. . discussions about a
long-term contract took place,
In these discussions, Bonneville
Power Administration insisted
that PGE was to transfer its
properties in Woodburn, Oregon,
and Vancouver, Washington, to
public agencies at a price satis
factory to the Bonneville Power
Administration; and also insist
ed that BPA be given an option
on the entire properties of PGE.
In other words, we would have
to commit suicide in order to
get a contract."
'From December 10. 1941 to
August 30, 1947, Delzell said,
PGE secured power only on a
day-to-day basis from BPA. He
stated that in 194S Dr. Paul Ra
ver, Bonneville Power Adminis
trator, sent to Franklin T. Grif
fith tentative draft of a con
tract for Griffith's "personal in
formation" only. This contract,
which was never officially sub
mitted to the company, contem
plated that Bonneville Power
Administration was to have an
option on the property, with two
years' time in which to secure
authority to exercise such an
option. It further contemplated
that if such authorization was
not obtained within the two-year
period, the contract ' would be
cancelled.
"Even If this provision had
been legal, which It wasn't."
Delzell said, "it would have had
the effect of giving PGE a two-
year contract, after which we
would have been forced out of
business.
"Since 1047 Bonneville has
been heavily committed to oth
er purchasers such as public
agencies and heavy industries,
and up until September JO,
1951 we did business under a
' aeries of one-year contracts.
Now we have a five-year con
tract under which we hope even
tually to obtain a share of feder
al power on a firm basis: but we
have no firm power whateoever
at the present time, and the
contract is subject to cancella
tion by BPA on three years' no
nce.
"Had the company been able
to secure a fair allocation of
federal power for the benefit of
its customers, as the law con
templated, it is perfectly appar
ent that there would have been
no need to have excess costs last
fall and winter, and no need for
the surcharge."
