This refund for the past year was to approximate one-half the amount of one month’s power cost. The news item also stated that the Pacific Power & Light Company had reduced rates in 1936, 1937, 1939 and 1941. The undersigned ques tion the latter statement. The Farm Bureau Co-operative of Hermiston has been a large power consumer in Hermiston for many years. A number of years ago Mr. John A. Clarke, then manager of the Hermiston Power & Light Company, established rates to be used at the Farm Bureau Co-operative of Hermiston. These same rates, or the equivalent thereof, have been in effect ever since. The reduction in power rates given publicity have never been extended to the Farm Bureau Co-operative of Hermiston. Several years ago for the purpose of securing cheaper source of power, a movement was started to create a Public Utility District in the west end of Umatilla County. The required survey was made by the State Hydro-Electric Commission. The petitions for calling an election were secured and approved. Our country’s entry into the war made it advisable to potspone an election. However, this movement made it possible for the undersigned to have hydro-electric engineers give us definite power costs based on Bonneville power cost. The saving thus shown that would accrue to the F arm Bureau Co-operative of Hermiston in one year would be $794.49 and to the Umatilla Co-operative Creamery 11,013.45. The rates at the creamery have been slightly reduced since these estimates were made. The refund in question above by the Pacific Power A Light Com pany amounted to $71.72. The saving under the other alternative would be $794.49 at the Farm Bureau Co-operative of Hermiston and close to $1,000 at the creamery. The undersigned feel entitled to a reduction in power cost and will use every effort to secure it. We appreciate the aid and co- operation of all local power consumers.
