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.
