PP&L lias annual revenues of 583,000,000 and Copco $25,000,000. Nearly 60 per cent of PP&L's business is in Oregon and the balance in Washington, Idaho, western Montana and Wyoming. Copco obtains 80 per cent of its revenues from Oregon and 20 per cent from California.

He added that those who have "one lats drink for the road may be having their last period," I ' 1081-70 period to meet the power needs of customers. Present gross plant invest ment of the two companies is approximately $570 million.
