PUD Frank Morgan Elected As Chairman; Larry Brain- ard Speaks An organization known as the Malheur County Protective Assoc iation of Taxpayers and Private Enterprise was organized at a meet ing held ln the Moore hotel In O n tario last Thursday night for the purpose of campaigning against the organization of a proposed Malheur county public utilities district. The directors of the association met in Ontario Wednesday night of this week to draw a resolution op posing the PUD and make plans for presentation of the resolution at a hydro-electric commission hearing to be held ln Vale Monday night, October 22. The directors also made plans to offer memberships to persons ln sympathy with the purposes of the organization. The four directors attending from Nyssa were Arvll Child, Luther Fife. Sid Flanagan and Harry Miner. At the meeting last week Larry Bralnard, district manager of the Idaho Power company, said that f PUD petition was filed with the state hydro-electric commiss ion ln 1941 and that the commiss ion made a report, but at that time did not consider the formation o f a public utilities district feasible. The territory to be Included in the district did not Include the area served by the Vale REA. During the three years the R EA at Vale has been In operation , the busi ness shows a deficit of $39,000. Mr. Bralnard said. The PU D would follow roughly the lines of the ter ritory served by the Idaho Power company. Light and power revenues in the district have increased from $287.- 000, to $352,000. Estimated costs o f $330,000 would leave $22,000 that might be used as savings or rate reductions, Mr. Bralnard said. That is 37 cents per customer per month. “A t the time of the first report o f the hydro-electric commission the margin was $12,000," the speak er said. "That amount Is not Im portant, but replacing private in dustry with government-financed operations Is Important. “T h e “T h e Idaho Power comp any must go on the open market (Continued on page 2) Visiting From Jerome— Mrs. Ronald Burke and daugh ter of Jerome, Idaho, arrived last Thursday to visit friends.
