NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC
Recently a welcome news item appeared in the Hermiston Herald
to the effect that the Pacific Power & Light Company would make
a refund to its power customers. 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.
