For the •last week the commission has been studying these schedules foi “monthly” and “dump” power, which are intended to encourage early utilization of all power avail able at Bonneville Dam. Most important of the suggested rates is a schedule which permits purchase of power upon a monthly basis, at a cost of %c per kilowatt hour, plus a demand charge of 75c per month per kilowatt. Minimum charge for this service would be 75c per kilowatt of contract de mand. The schedule, Administrator Banks said, is designed particular ly to meet the requirements of smaller districts, cities and utilities which are likely to operate at a low load factor for the first few years. The proposed rate also will be helpful to purchasers now own ing their own generating facilities and desiring firm power to meet their peak requirements. cies expressed by congress.

The proposed new rates, Admin istrator Banks believes, will be more suitable than the previous secondary power schedules which they will' replace. “Kilowatt Year” Stays— Existing “Kilowatt-year” sched ules for prime power will be con tinued. Several minor changes will be made to facilitate use of these annual' schedules. Power at the damsite rate of $14.50 per kilo watt-year will be available not only to industries, but to public and private distribution systems whose principal load is consumed within 15 miles of the dam. Banks pointed out that this new provision would be particularly beneficial to the municipal system of Cascade Locks and to Skamania County Public Utility District. Administrator Banks pointed out that in disposing of the electric power produced at the Bonneville dam consideration must be given to certain policies if congress ex pressed in the Bonneville statute. “In the first place,” he said, “public power is there recognized Small Users Benefit— as a natural resource which should The new schedule—known as I be widely distributed for the bene F-l—will supplement the existing fit of the greatest number of the rates for firm power of $17.50 per public.
