Hayes reported on a nnanciai , h - Heppner church
feasibility study that his firm;1" m PJ ' . v
had made witn a iu-year pro
jection for Columbia Basin. The

cash reserve of $400,000 at all
times, and the reserve would
reach $827,000 at the end of the
10-year period. The surplus
would be available for capital
Improvements or rate reductions.
Manager Young told of service
and maintenance plans and said
that the cooperative would in
stall a service crew in Condon,
relieving the Heppner crew of

wholesale power cost and econ
omics on service costs; that
crews would be available in cen
tral areas for immediate dis
patch; and that administrative
economies would be made by
billing through one office.
Additional consumers to be
added as a result of the ex
change would Include some 98
services summer homes, recre
ational areas and mountain
ranches, Young said.
Kell said that the down pay
ment of $750,000 that Colum
bia Basin would make to Pa

chase price would come from an
REA loan of $150,000 and from
current resources of the co-op
of $300,000.
Present indebtedness of Col
umbia Basin is listed at $1,800,
000 at 2, and the $450,000 to
be borrowed would also be at

Fifth Member
Urged for Board
Appointment of a fifth mem
ber to the Morrow county fair
board was urged by a delegation
that appeared before the county
court Wednesday. About 12 were
in the group, and Bernard Do
herty and Al Fetsch of the fair
board were present.
Maxwell Jones of Irrigon was
appointed recently as a fourth
member of the board, but the
group asked that a woman be
named as a fifth member be
cause of the fact that much of
the fair is of interest to women.
No definite decision was made,
but Judge Oscar Peterson said
that if the present members of
the board favor the fifth appoint
ment, it probably will be made.
Doherty expressed himself def
initely in favor of the fifth
member, and Fetsch indicated
that he would not oppose it.
Commissioners planned to con
tact Jones for his reaction.
Two women who would be
considered for the position are
Mrs. William Rawlins of Hepp
ner and Mrs. Joe Tatone cf
Boardman.
