SIXTH IN A SERIES The Nation's View of Rural America and Rural Electrification (From a national study conducted for the National Rural Electric Cooper ative Association by International Research Associates, Inc., of New York City. The study is based on 1394 personal interviews, sampling the adult public, one th rd In major cities, one-third In suburban areas satellite to these cities, and one-third in small towns ana rural areas;. DUNN & BRADSTREET Attitude Toward Rural Electric Cooperatives The study showed that the public believes private companies are technically better pre pared and more efficient in their administrative procedures; yet at the same time they are be lieved to be less interested in the consumer, and probably more expensive in the rates they charge for service. (See table below). Lovaltv to the commercial company concept is more pronounced among older people than it is amng the young. The youngest group (18 to 25) is rather heavily. in favor of either the cooperative system or munic pal ownership. Only 14 per cent choose private companies, whi e S than a third select each of the other systems. Also, support for the private companies is more pronounced among the well-to-do and the better educated. The electric cooperatives find no real concentration of negative opinion among any seg ment of the population. The following table lists percentages of opinion determined in the study: "Here is a list of things that can be Important to people In judging an electric system. For each one, would you tell me which of the systems you would expect to be best" PRIVATE MUNICIPAL DON'T COMPANIES COMPANIES CO-OPS KNOW "Their efficiency in managing their business 39 15 22 24 "Their ability to keep up with advances in tech- nology and equipment 37 !1 Wo "Providing dependable service 33 22 25 19 "The interest they have in their consumers 26 15 39 20 "The fairness of the rates they charge 22 21 37 20 "The influence that consumers are able to have on what is done 19 ld " a 10 "The fairness of the profits they make 19 15 41 25 The satisfaction of the co-op consumer with his service far exceeds the satisfaction of nthfr consumers with their suppliers, with the sole exception of efficiency of management and thP imagined ability of the suppliers to keep up with advances in technology and equipment. Fvpn in these two instances, the satisfaction expressed by the co-op user is only a shade behind rho leader the private companies. Almost eight out of ten of those who believe they are served bv cooperatives say they would prefer to continue with this form of service; only half of those who are supplied by the private and municipal companies are as loyal. !dufiiEiis) IBasin Electric Co-oi "Serving Morrow, Wheeler and Gilliam Counties'
