The Hydro E le c t r ic Commission in i t s report on the proposed d i s t r i c t found t h a t , i f the proposed u i s t r i c t could purchase Bonneville energy and operate without competition, i t could not expect lor many years to reuuce the present r a t e s or to mako up the lo s s in taxes r e s u lt in g from the elim ination of the present u t i l i t i e s . Taxes now paid by the e x is tin g u t i l i t i e s on th e ir property within the proposed d i s t r i c t amount to more than $500,000 per year which wculu be e n tire ly lo s t i f the u t i l i t y companies discontinued operation. Remember that more than h a lf of the u t i l i t y taxes are devoted to schools o f i t he proposed d i s t r i c t . The portion of the proposed u i s t r i c t now served by thi6 compafly enjoys one of the lowest r a te 3 for sim ilar se rv ice now in e f f e c t anywhere in the Nation and th is company has publicly declared that any savings i t may derive from the purchase of Bonneville energy w ill be passed on to i t s consumers. You have low r a te s now. All urban resid en ts and 06/& of a l l ru ral residents in the t e r r it o r y served by us now have e l e c t r i c service a v a ila b le . This has been the r e s u lt of many years of progressive serv ice and r a t e red uctions. I f and when further savings may be made, by purchase of Bonneville energy or otherwise, the policy of further reducing ra te s w ill be followed and your tax ob ligation w ill be lessened by the taxes contributed by the e x is tin g u t i l i t i e s . With no assurance of reduction in ra te s - with the certain ty of lo ss of u t i l i t y taxes - and in the face of tiio f a ilu r e of the utate ifydro E le o tr ic Commission to recommend the creation of the u i s t r i c t , why su b stitu te uncertainty a3 to ra te s and service and c e rta in ty as to increa-eu taxes for the r e l i a b l e , progressive, tax paying s e rv ice you now have with the audeu assurance that as costs decline your r a te s must and w ill a lso decline? We are keenly in tereste d in the welfare and up building of the area embraced in the proposed d i s t r i c t and believe your best in t e r e s ts would be served oy voting NO at tho s p e c ia l e le c tio n on April 6th. In ny l e t t e r next week 1 sh a ll ou tline the manner in which we believe the Bonneville development can r e s u lt in the greatest p ra c tica b le benefit to our customer«. Very truly yours.
