o Page 8 Heppner Gazef te Times, Thursday, January 29, 1953 P P & L Explains Temporary Power Rate Increase Although the recent dramatic increase in the Northwest's avail able hydroelectric supply has cut steam power generation to a minimum, it will take several months to recover previously ac cumulated extra costs through existing surcharges on electric bills, according to George T. Bragg, vice president and general manager of Pacific Power & Light company. "We wish to assure our custo mers, however, that the surcharge will be dropped just as soon as the allowable extra costs have been covered," he said. "Our best present estimate Is that this may be about the end of June." Bragg emphasized that It is only the actual extra steam costs incurred from September to the end of t he power shortage period in mid-January that the company will be permitted to recover. "We absorb approximately $1, 250,000 of steam plant expense in, our normal expense base, he said, "and the surcharge is only to cover steam power costs over and above this amount. "Up to the time of the recent heavy rains, we had incurred more lhan $1,500,000 of extra steam power expense, and surcharge billings to the end of January will cover only about one-third of this unusual cost." The lag in billings results from the fact that December was the first month In which surcharges were allowed to be added to meef the emergency situation. The permitted surcharge rate was calculated to budget the cost recovery over a period of months, he explained, instead of in a lump sum. In addition to extra fuel burned In the company's own plants, the hydro shortage during the dry fall and early winter made it necessary for the company to purchase expensive steam-generated energy from outside, where ever available, Bragg said. The 1D52-53 fall and winter sea son has been the most unusual on record, he commented. "In all the years for which steam flow records are available, there has never been such a dras tic change in mid winter as that which occurred this month." With the resumption of some of the interruptible loads, it is pos sible that some steam powerway be generated for the account of aluminum or chemical plants in the region, Bragg said, but he made it clear that any such steam generation would be paid for by the particular Industry re questing it.

J We're going to have money to Ret a new engine and then some. I Our local merchants really ; donated some wonderful prizes. Like Buu Ellis, the radio-TV ; dealer, giving that big television ' Bet , . . and the Superior Motors 'putting up a brand-new ear. ' There was a humorous note, ) too. The prize of a year's supply ' of coal donated by Baker Coal 1 Yard was won by Mis. Thayer, , whose husband is the biggest fuel ! oil dealer in the county 1 W hat did Mrs. Thayer do with the coal? She gave it to a church she's not even a member of. (Her Church uses her husband's fuel oil.) From where I sit, that's real generosity. Hut then, Mrs. Thayer never did believe in dividing people into groups. She's "for" everybody whatever church they go to, whether they like TV or radio, people who enjoy tem perate beer, people who don't. A really irarn-hearted person.
