J 950 i Copco Offers To Purchase Ashland Electric System A.uanj itaVi a Th Califor- noiuniiu, - . nia Oregon Power company this week oltcrea 10 ouy me "-" cal distribution system of the city of Ashland. While no defin ite action was taken, council men, under the leadership of Mayor Thomas Williams, areed that the offer may be further investigated. , The purchase offer was made by John C. Boyle, vice-president and general manager of Copco, at an informal meeting with coun cilmen and city officials Thurs day evening. Would Give Service ..,., The offer does not include the city's generating plant in Ash land canyon, Boyle said. First such offer was made to the city bv Copco about 12 years ago. Under the proposal, the utility would distribute electric power to individual customers, and would buy energy from Ash land's power plant, in addition to that supplied through its own facilities. , ,. . .. , Boyle said he believed that the sale to Copco would ulti mately provide electric service to Ashland customers at a price below what they are now paying the municipally-operated electric svstem. He also said that in ad dition to the purchase price of icr, not publicly revealed, tne city would stand to realize an increased annual income of some $66,000 In utility taxes, power franchise payments, and savings in operating costs. Mayor Williams suggested that It might be appropriate to have a popular vote on the matter be fore a decision is made. Council man Phil Stansbury said that A.ulnn,4 i-oaiHpnlc milht WCl- come a reduction in electric rates, and that the city might realize the difference in taxes. Boyle pointed out that both industrial and residential clec i.u u. In Moritnrti are lower than in Ashland. Copco sells power to Asniana iur nuuut a and a half mills per kilowatt hour at present, with the city re selling it to customers for about 1.55 cents, a markup of more than 100 per cent. No decision was made regard ing the original purpose for the meeting, the proposed purchase of Bellvicw distributing facilities by the city from Copco. Boyle said it woul dbe a complicated procedure, and the city and the company agreed to assign two appraisers, one representing each party, to determine a fair price.
