THURSDAY. JANUARY 13. 1955 CENTRAL POINT AMERICAN. CENTRAL POINT. OREGON Expansion Need For Gas, Power Seen as Great Between 1950 and 1960, almost one billion dollars will be invest ed in expansion by principal Northwest private utility compa nies—electricy and gas—to keep abreast of the population and in dustrial growth of the area dur ing this period. An estimated $406,763,662 of this total will be spent in Ore gon to keep pace with the 1950- 60 expansion. This was reported today by the Northwest Research Council of the National Association of Manufacturers at Portland as a result of a study on projected power and gas needs in the cur rent decade. This study was conducted, the NAM said, in cooperation with the principal private utility companies in the area, including the following in Oregon: Pacific Power and Light Co., Portland Gas and Coke Co., and Portland General Electric Co., all of Port land, and the California Oregon Power Co. of Medford. The expansion of these util ities must be made, the NAM said, to provide gas and elec tricity for the 519,659 increase in population, the 164,396 increase in number of households, and the 16.600 increase in number of businesses expected to take place between 1950 and I960.. “Between 1950 and 1953, in clusive, some $121,311,953 was spent in the state on expansion by principal investor-owned gas and electric companies. These same companies estimate that an additional $285,451,709 must be spent on expansion between now and 1960,” the NAM reported. Principal gas companies spent $4,430,225 on expansion in Ore gon between 1950 and 1953 and expect to spend $21,772,092 more before 1960; principal electric companies spent $116,881,728 be tween 1950 and 1953 and expect to spend an additional $263,679,- 617 by 1960, the NAM stated. “While these utility companies are spending $406,763,662 be tween 1950 and 1960, $214,386,- 800 will be spent in Washing ton, $246,237,310 will be spent in Idaho, and $120,512,703 will be spent in Montana. “Thus, some $937,900,475 will be spent in expanding gas and electric facilities in the four Northwest states between 1950 and I960,” the NAM pointed out. “It will take saving and in vestment by many thousands of people from all walks of life to provide the necessary capital for this near-billion-dollar expan sion,” the NAM added.
