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. '

American Legion Post No. 148 re
ports the Cay Ninety dance of
January 24 to be one of the lar
gest dances ever held In Monu
ment. About four hundred tickets
were sold and although the ladies
of the Auxiliary had prepared an
extra amount of sandwiches and
coffee, everything was sold out.
So all in all it was a very success
ful evening of entertainment.
Cash prizes were given to Mr.
and Mrs. Mead Oilman for the
best Gay Ninety couple.
A group of four "Can-Can"
girls were given a special prize.
They were Clint a Mellor, Mary

Surprise Ending!
I That rallle for our Volunteer
fFire Department went over fine.
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.
