HOME EXTENSION UNIT MEETS AT STANFIELD; STANFIELD POST OFFICE ALSO RATES HIGH BOARD DIRECTORS G et approval Engineers will soon be in the field to make final surveys for Lha new extension lines of the Umatilla Electric Cooperative association sys tem. Barr & Cunningham, engineer ing firm of Pqrtlsnd, which sur veyed the original system, will send a crew, probably next week to begin the work. These surveys are expect ed to be completed within a month. Maps will then be forwarded to the national REA department at Wash ington. The remaining right of way ease ments will be secured in the mean time and all users along the lina will be required to complete mem bership in the association by paying the five dollar membership fee. No lines will be run or connections made by the engineers without the payment of the membership fee. The board of directors, at a spec ial meeting Wednesday evening, de cided to proceed as rapidly as pos sible under instructions received from the Washington office. These instructions came this week with the order of allotment of funds for the work. A request from Ukiah, represent ing 50 users of that district, asking for electric service from the line ex tending up big Butter Creek to Vin son, including 75 possible users, was before the board at its meeting. The area up little Butter Creek to Lena and westward to the Sand Hollow wheat district, is also seek ing rural electric service. Wheat farmers east of Stanfield are desir ous of a like service from the Uma tilla Electric Cooperative system. The total requests would include ap proximately 150 users, most of whom use large quantities of electricity for light, heat and power. All these will be given consideration by the local board of directors If the set-up can satisfy the national administration. It was also reported at the meet ing that, with two exceptions, all of the 460 users now connected with the system had paid monthly bills. All users also expressed pleasure and satisfaction with the service and rates. ____ _______ COLUMBIA SCHOOL NOTES By LAURA C. MORRIS Rev. G. L.
