I F Griffith Addresses Realty Board ♦ The generation of electric energy by the government is a by-product of the development of navigation, which in turn is u recognized fed eral function by virtue of the au thority granted the United States government to regulate commerce. The protecting wing of the fed eral government ends with distri bution of electric power at whole sale. From that point power should be passed to the consumer through existing distrioutton agencies. Such public agencies that may be cre ated for such distribution, like private agencies, can be made sub je c t to taxation by the state and other regulations. The public can secure the bene fit of cheap power by private dis tribution which avoids confiscation of its properties, which competition by publicly owned distribution sys tems portends.

Wednesday night at the Portland Realty board’s 13th annual dinner when Griffith was formally pro claimed "Portland's First Citizen” for 1939. "This Bonneville generating plant is a magnificent feat of en gineering." Griffith asserted. "It will stand through the ages, and power from its turbines will be continually available, with an e f ficiency quotient of 92 per cent, the highest which can possibly be reached without eliminating fric tion. Those units will be as effi cient 15 years from today as they now are. "Of $53,188,000 spent to date on Bonneville, only $11,000.000 was charged to power development. As the project is expanded to its greatest capacity, $42.000.000 of the ultimate $74,000,000 expendi ture will be allocated to power, on i which not one cent of interest will be charged other than the amount allocated to power. "No taxes will be imposed. In the $7.500.000 to be spent on trans mission lines, the contribution of the WPA and the PWA will likely be forgotten. "All this low cost advantage in power production should be passed on to the consumer through exist ing distribution agencies, rather than through any new public agen cies. “ The entire theory of rate mak ing i> based on the proposition that quantity use will tend to lower rates. We can sec no advantage in public distribution. “ It is axiomatic that no private utility can compete with the trens- urv of the United States." (»liffith's address followed pres entation of the first citizen plaque by Fred (\ Medowan, retiring pres ident of the Realty board.
