NEWBERRY CO Medford's Bargain Corner The cost of good government is everybody's business When it comes to service, we at COPCO think in terms of people, whether we're building electric power plants or paying taxes. Neither our cus tomers nor the communities in which we live and operate are statistics to us. As a result, we are as concerned about good local government as our neighbors and willingly assume our share of the upkeep. For the fiscal year 1954-55, COPCO's property tax bills in thirteen counties of Oregon and California totaled $1,840,101. This amounted to $187,642 more than in the previous year. Our future share of the tax load will be still larger, since our over-all tax base is constantly expanding. At the same time, our company paid its proportionate share of state and federal taxes. Government is everybody's business and must begin at the local level if it is to be truly of the people. In partnership with those we serve, COPCO will continue to contribute to the progress of our communities ... for better highways, better schools, civic improvement projects and more electric power for a better life for alL THE CALIFORNIA OREGON POWER COMPANY A Western Company owned and operated by Western People
