Dick Neuberger Story False
Say Eugene Power Officials
Eugene, Dec. 15. (VP) Officials of the Eugene Water
Board, which directs the city's, municipal-owned power and wa
ter utilities, have emphatically denied a published statement
In the December Forum magazine by Richard L. Neuberger,
Portland, publicist that "power
from the federal dam at Bonne
ville is helping the Oregon town
of Eugene charge a commercial
rate of $13.53 for 750 kilowatt
hours; a few miles away In Cor-
vallis, storekeepers pay a pri
vate utility $27.25 for the same
service."
"We are not yet buying any
power from Bt inevllle," Chair
man Percy Brown said, "and
the Bonneville operation has
not had anything to do with our
present low rate structures
which have been made possible
only by our own earnings over
80 years."
Superintendent J. W. Mc-
Arthur charged: "That state
ment is not the truth. Bonne
ville has had nothing to do with
our rate making. We have not
concluded any deal with Bonne
ville. In fact, we have made it
plain that we will not enter
Into any deal which in any way
yields home control of rates or
lines. So far, Bonneville has not
affected us one way or the other.
Our rates would be what they
are if Bonneville had never been
built. We are contemplating
further cuts whether we have a
tie-up with Bonneville or not."
Orlando J. Hollis, member of
the board and University of
Oregon Law' School faculty
member, declared Bonneville's
publicity department has long
tried to capitalize on Eugene's
achievements. He told of a re
quest a year ago of Stephen
Kahn, one of the dam's publicity
men and friend of Neuberger,
for approval of a prepared story
which claimed Eugene's low
rates were made by the aid of
Bonnevlllo. "It simply Isn't the
fact," Hollis told Kahn.

CRITICISM OF ARTICLE
Portland, Dec. 15. (fP) :
Richard L. Neuberger of Port
land, magazine writer, said to
day "many people In Eugene
believe they are the only per
sons In Oregon capable of run
ning a municipal light plant."
He made the statement after
being informed members of the
Eugene water board had criti
cized an article he wrote for
the December issue of Forum
magazine.
The article, his critics said,
credited Bonneville dam with
helping Eugene to charge a low
commercial power rate.
Percy W. Brown, Eugene
water board chairman, said "it
simply isn't so," and James W.
McArthur, board manager, said
'so far Bonneville hasn't af
fected us one way or another."
Neuberger 9 statement point
ed out that Forest Grove, using
Bonneville power, charges only
half the amount that Hllls
boro, served by a private util
ity, charges for 750 kilowatt
hours of commercial power.

racing is being streamlined the
Corrigan way here. Under the
new system, the horses are
trotted out on the track where
the owners are obliged to give
up their mount and ride some
one else's horse. When the race
gets under way, it is a case of
every rider trying to come in
first, thus enhancing his own
horse's chance of being last. For
the last three horses win.
