Rebuilding
Beatty Line
Pacific Power & Light Com
pany's transmission line construc

ond phase of rebuilding the Beatty-
Sprague River power line, Sam
Ritchey, PP&L's Klamath Falls
district manager, reports.
Crews are making progress on
tile translcrring of the conductor.
presently operating at distribution
voltage, to the new poles along
the line which will allow opera
tion at 69,000 volts capacity.
The line has been serving as a
distribution circuit for customers
located between the two commu
nities. Ritchey reported the new
work will convert the line to high
er voltage in order to complete a
69.O00-volt transmission loop which
will provide Dairy, Bonanza. Bly,
bpraguc River and Beatty with an
alternate route for power delivery.
In emergencies, he explained the
area will have a more depend
able supply and length of outages
will be reduced. Work is scheduled
to be completed by July 15,
Riitchcy said.
The $34,567 project involves the
replacement of the 94 existing1
poles with 92 treated weather and
insect-resistant poles.
In addition to providing these
communities with an alternate
power supply route, Ritchey said,
the line will serve as a backup
lacility for the main transmission
circuit supplying Lakeview.
PP&L's program of providing
loop service to all Klamath district
areas helps its crews to speed res
toration of power in the event of
an emergency outage, he said.
PP&L customers presently be
ing served by the distribution line
slated for conversion to 69,000
volts will soon be served by a
new 12.000-volt distribution circuit.
The new circuit will cost an esti
mated $25,976 to build and will be
mounted on the poles beneath the
transmission line.

By Pension
NEW YORK UPI The
growth in number of persons
covered and in assets of the na
tion's various pension funds, both
governmental and private, has
featured the past 24 years, but it
will reach even more astronomic
al levels within the next 20, a
recent study shows.
The 43rd annual report of the
.National Bureau of Economic Re
search, in a section dealing with
the economic aspects of pensions,
showed a grand total of 102.2
million persons covered by pen
sion programs of all kinds fed
eral, state and local, and private
in I960. There were, of course,
many duplications.
These plans had assets of $105 2
billions. They included the federal
government programs, old age.
survivors and disability: railroad
retirement, federal civil service,
which covered 76.1 million indv
duals. wth asset accumulations of
36.8 billions.
State and local governments had
4 5 million individuals under the
pension tent, with assets of $18.5
billions: private plans. 21 6 mil
lions, and assets of $49.9 billions.
Growth Predicted
The Bureau in its projections
for future coverage under the
slate and local plus private plans,
excluding the federal pension set
ups, would show an anticipated
growth from 26.1 million persons
in 1960 to 48.7 millions in 1980:
and assets to pyramid from SK8.7
billion in 1960 to $.1193 billions
by 1980.
The Bureau, whose study of
pension systems was directed by
Roger F. Murray. Sloan Colt
Competition for these contracts is keen around the
country, rtewsmap shows, on a per capita basis, how
J27.8 billion worth of defense contracts was divided
among the 50 states in fiscal 1962.

professor of banking and finance
at the Graduate School of Busi
ness at Columbia University, re
ported that "dynamic changes'
have taken place in the direction
taken by the flows of these funds
and more are in prospect.
Within a 15-ycar span, as an
example, it found these changes
in the percentage of total assets
invested by slate government re
tirement systems in various types
of capital:
In 1947, cash and deposits were
2.3 per cent, in 1961, down to '1
per cent; federal government se
curities in 1947, 70.6 per cent, in
1961 down to 30.1 per cent; state
and local government securities,
20.4 and 13.8 respectively.
Mortgages Rise Sharply
Corporate bonds had risen from
4.2 per cent in 1947 to 37.9 per
cent by 1961: corporate stocks
from eight tenths of one per cent
to 2.6 per cent; percentage of
mortgages had blossomed from
1,1 to 11.6 per cent: other assets
from six tenths of one per cent
to 3 per cent.
The changes in portfolios of cor
porate non-insured funds followed
a similar pattern, except that
their corporate bond investments
rose only slightly, while corporate
stocks went from 15 8 per cent
to .18.3 per cent.
The effect?
"We conclude that public and
private pension accumulations
have gradually come to make an
important contribution to the more
efficient allocation of resources
through t he mechanism of the
market place for long term
funds." the Bureau report said, i
