OREGON WASHINGTON UTAH IDAHO 715 Main St. - Klamath Falls Dr. WAYNE SAVAGE Registered Optometrist in Charge $141 MILLION E WASHINGTON, June IB MV A Bonneville power economist estimated today a maximum bond issue of $141,410,000 would bo necessary for acquisition of private power companies In the Pacific northwest for their re salo to public bodies. D. L. Mnrlott, oxecutlve as sistant to the Bonneville admin istrator, told a Joint oongrossion dI committee considering legis lation to set up a Columbia pow er administration that It the bonds were issued at a rale of 31 per cent Interest an excess of $7511,000 would be realized the first year after meeting obliga tions. Marlett explained to the com mittee hearing on the Smith- Bono bills (SR 2430 and HR 6800) that he had used maximum figures In his calculations on the eight private power companies operating in Washington and Oregon, and ho believed the In terest rate on tho band Issue would be i to i per cent ' less than 31. . ' . Under the Smith-Bone bills, introduced by Representative Smith (D-Wash.) and Senator Bone (D-Wnsh,), the Columbia power administration would be created to market power from federal projects at Bonneville and Grand Coulee on Columbia river and to acquire the private companies. Opposition to the legislation came from H. D. Wolkcr, Chen ey city attorney, who said he was speaking Individually and not In his official capacity. Chen ey, he said, operates Its own municipal system. Under the Columbia adminis tration, he contonded control over local power systems would pass to the secretary of Interior, who would name the adminis trator. : Declaring the administrator could be removed at will by the Interior secretary. Walker said the officer would be "bacK door ' puppet" and the office eventually would become t "po litical football." v, - -I- ,(-- Dorris Gateway Again Leads travel Dorris, gateway Into Califor nia, as usual led the May travel for northern entrances as re ported to the chamber of com merce hero by the California department of agriculture.
