President of the board of directors. Van Kietinann said.
"Although the increase in power went up 7 per cent during
the past fiscal year there has been only a slight increase in
the amount the customer pays. The average bill amounts to
$19 31 per month. In New York City the electric rate is 10
limes greater than ours, perhaps that is one reason New
York is going bankrupt."
He spoke of the dramatic reduction in line loss slating it is
present I y about 7 per cent . Previously it had been 17 per cent
and the customers weren't getting a good return. Electric
consumption increased 13 per cent and while many other
companies were cutting down during the energy crisis, our
consumption went up.
Rietmann told the members of the plans of the board of
directors to participate in nuclear plants.
He stressed the problems facing some geothermal plants,
namely leases, locating hot water, drilling, minerals and
de-salting process.
He spoke of the problems geothermal plants are having,
namelv. locating hot water, leases, drilling, desalting,
mineral problems, and the need for fresh water to maintain
the plant.
Solar power is a long way off," said Rietmann and it will
probablv be another century before solar power is a reality.
"There are many people who believe nuclear power might
be dangerous, however, there has not been a major accident
within the past 30 years. This is due to the increase in
regulations." said Rietmann. "People will not tolerate a
reduction in power and they should support construction of
nuclear plants." concluded Rietmann.

traffic deaths may
be lowest
Chances are excellent that
Oregon's traffic death toll for
1975 will be the lowest in about
11 years.
The Oregon Motor Vehicles
Division reported that deaths
through October totaled 469
71 fewer than for the first 10
months last year.
If the approximately 13 per
cent reduction holds up for the
remaining two months of the
year, officials said the 1975
"death toll could be as low as
562. Oregon has not had a
traffic toll below 600 since 1964
when 578 were killed.

The division said 45 deaths
were reported in October, four
more than October a year ago
but still one of the lowest
October tolls in recent years.
What happens during the
last two months of the year,
particularly to pedestrians,
will be critical in determining
the final toll, officials said.
Last November and Decem
ber 34 pedestrians were killed
in Oregon traffic. If the
pedestrian record improves
and other traffic deaths re
main about the same, a toll
below 600 seems to be assured.
