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."

bead restraints, whitewalls and wheel covers is

priced $101 less than in 1968.
The 300-hp V8 is priced $40 less than last

Power disc brakes about half as much. White
walls a little less. Wheel covers about the same.

Upping value and dropping price. That's the
way Chevrolet operates.
