CIS
WILLIAM A. LACKAFF (left) District Manager at Bend since 1929, started in
with PP&L 27 years ago. Born in Vancouver, Washington, Bill's first job was as a
clerk. During World War I, he took leave of absence, served 8 months overseas in
the Medical Corps. After the Armistice, Bill returned to PP&L, working his way
up to become Manager at Toppenish in 1921. Transferred to system headquarters in
1923, he served 6 years as Purchasing Agent before assuming present responsibilities.
Photographer found Bill doing on-the-ground work with Tom Jobe of the lint crew.
O No matter where you live within the PP&L
system, this man has something to do with
keeping you supplied with low-cost electricity.
While he's known as our Bend District Man
ager, this doesn't begin to describe his job.
You might say he works for the whole Pacific
Northwest and that's exactly right. He's one
of our team of 815 men and women that make
up PP&L's experienced organization. It's the
work they do together that keeps the service
running smoothly in every part of the system.
The big value of this system teamwork is
pretty clear when you realize that PP&L sup
plies residential service at rates 43 below the
national average, and at the same time shoulders
a tax load of more than $1,150,000 a year.
POWER & LIGHT
The beautiful pine forests of the Deschutes country are supplying millions of feet of urgently
needed lumber for Uncle Sam. But, at the same time, this district knows the stability that
comes from diversification of products, and is constantly developing its rich farm and range
lands. In the same way, the much more widely diversified activities of all 12 PP&L operating
districts make for a strong, dependable electric system. Because PP&L serves a complete cross
section of the great Columbia Basin, users all over the system have their electric service
protected against local adversities. Through the years they have found the benefits of business
managed system operation consistently reflected in lower and lower rates.
