The proposed rate hike was announced on Feb. 25 by Jack Davis, Energy and Transport Minister for British Columbia. The Oregon senators also warned Secretary Vance they would not like to see a repeat performance of a State De partment decision last year, denying an offer by Canada to sell natural gas to the North west region at a lower rate than that sold elsewhere in the United States. "That lower price was of fered because 1) our region has a uniquely heavy de pendence upon Canadian gas and, 2) the price of com parable amounts of electric energy is far below the national average due to hydro electric power," they told the Secretary. "We estimate that Northwest consumers paid $31 million as a direct result of that decision. We urgently ask for reconsideration of that position by the State Depart ment should the National Energy Board in Canada choose to make the same offer of variable pricing this year. We ask that you make your position on these issues known to us at the soonest possible opportunity," they said. BdiDoGs VOTE FOR THE LEVY VOTE AGAINST THE LEVY 30, 1981) VOTE FOR ONE A. Wright F.
