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.
