Ross today expressed his satisfaction with the decision of the city council of Cascade Locks—first city to distribute Bonneville power to issue revenue bonds to buy the electric system of the West Coast Power company. The decision of the city council to submit a $90,000 bond issue to the voters marks an end of a bitter controversy with the local power company over the market ing of Columbia river power from the nearby dam. The dispute reached a climax when citizen volunteers erected poles up and down the main street one week end, working al) night to prevent interruption by court injunctions. Investor» Protected The proposed purchase of the private system marks the initia tion in the Northwest of the policy urged by Administrator Ross of fair treatment of utility investors. University of California has add ed two technicians to its staff preparing its $200,000 scientific display at the Golden Gate Inter national Exposition opening next February 18, Paul Kraemer, ento mologist, and W. N. Marquis, Ex position expert. ■ , The Bonneville Dam chief agreed that the Myers figure, which is satisfactory to the pri vate company is a good business proposition for the city. “It amounts to less than $90 a me ter,” he said. “This compares with a present debt burden of Oregon private companies ranging from $407 to $972 per customer.” Mr. Ross pointed out that the latter figures however, included indebt edness on generating and trans mission plants as well as distri bution systems. “I think the transition from pri vate to public ownership, while not an easy task, can be made without the bitter animosities and economic waste that so often re sult from unreasoning controver sy. The interests of the public and the utility investors are not so different as some have been led to believe. Both are interested in the payment of a fair price, not in the transgression of the rights of the other.” I I The estimate of value of the West I Coast Power company's system ■ considers the operating worth of the utility as well as its physical System Rough» as Unit inventory.
