Hatfield Seeks
Interstate Swap
Of Power Study
Eugene-(DPU-Gov. Mark Hat
field has disclosed a possible
iriter-tie between Oregon and
Calif ornfa whereby the two
states might exchange electric
power.
Hatfield told a meeting of
the Oregon Newspaper Pub
lishers association Friday
night that he called together
some 40 private and public
power interests Thursday to
determine whether the indi
vidual firms and organizations
would back a fact-finding
study on the subject.
"The unanimous concensus
of both ground groups," Hat
field said, "was that we should
proceed to establish a fact
finding committee on which
to base future action."
The governor said he plan
ned to contact Gov. Edward
G. Brown of California in
repard to the wishes of the
public power group and also
Gov. Albert. Rossellini of
Washington. Brown and Ros
sellini are Democrats, while
Hatfield is a Republican.
Hatfield said an inter-tie
might mean "we would attract
California's more enthusiastic
backing for federal projects in
the Northwest."
Alternatives Are
Aired at Hearing
SalenWUPD-An increase in
automobile license fees and a
bond issue as alternatives to
a one-cent per gallon gasoline
tax boost were suggested
Thursday night at a hearing
of the House Highways com
mittee. .
Rep. Fred Meek (R-Port-land)
suggested the license
plate fee hike as an alterna
tive. Howard Merriam Eugene,
former state representative,
said a S5 plate fee would make
the least disturbance in the
automotive tax structure and
that it would amount to about
the same cost to motorists
driving 9000 miles a year.
Strongly Against
Meek said his constituents
were strongly against a gas
oline tax increase.
Sid King of the Oregon
State Motor association said
he favored a bond issue ver
a gasoline tax if possible be
cause a large part of a gas
oline tax would go to cities
and counties instead of to the
federal highway system.
S20 Million .
Highway, engineer W. C.
Williams said the one-cent gas
oline tax would bring in about
20 million dollars in the next
five years, to be matched by
70 million dollars from the
federal government. Without
the 20 million, he said, the
70 million ultimately would
revert to the federal fund and
be allocated to other states.
Williams indicated no money
would be lost if the one-cent
boost were put off until the
1961 session but that the state
would lose about 18 months in
construction time.
