Athay of Vancouver, Wash., was electrical engineer for the building, and Dan Mc comber was in charge of con struction as owner of Eastern Oregon Construction Co. Has Many Features There are many features in the new building. Partitions of paneled wood are so designed that they may be moved eas ily if a change in arrangement is desired, thus making the structure more adaptable to change. A good sized conference room will provide space for directors' meetings and will be available for public use, being large enough to accommodate up to 50 persons. Electrical ducts are laid in the concrete floor of the building, with access every few feet to provide service as needed. The warehouse area and gar age is built on an upper level and there is plenty of maneuv ering area outside for the big trucks, free from the former con gested area. The huge garage doors open and close at the touch of a but ton, this portion of the build ing, too, being all electric. Electric furnaces provide heat ing with forced air from them going to the various parts of the office space, and electric air conditioners keep the building cool during warm weather. The building, delayed in con struction by severe winter weather, was finished over a month ago. Co-op Started In 1943 Columbia Basin Electric Co op received its start in 1943 with its first organization, but be cause of World War II. first lines were not built until 1948- 49 In 1964, the cooperative ac quired the facilities of Pacific Power and Light Company in the three counties and has shown considerable growth since the exchange. At the present time the com plete staff includes 22 persons, of which eight, including the manager, are office personnel, and 14 are on the line and serv ice crews. Manager Young, inviting the public to the dedication, said, 'We welcome our consumers to the new office and service fa cilities which are to provide im proved and additional services. The construction of this build ing is an indication of our con fidence in the future growth and development of our service area Morrow, Gilliam and Wheeler counties."
