•*<*«• Eight Th« Nyssa Gat« City Journal, Nyssa, Or«gon Thursday January 29, 1970 IDAHO POWER COMPANY TO EXPAND CONSTRUCTION OF SERVICE FACILITIES Idaho Power Company re ported Wednesday that it pro poses to invest about $15.5 million in additional service facilities during 1970 as it en ters a new decade in which the energy requirements of its customers are expected to in crease by nearly 70%. The construction budget was announced by Idaho Power pre sident Albert Carlsen in a re view of the company’s 1969 »perations and its plans for the new year. Carlsen said more that $6.7 million will be spent for pro duction facilities andtransmis- sion lines and substitutes in 1970, with some $8.7 million being used for distribution lines and substations and other ser- vic ■ facilities. The year’s expenditure, he pointed out, is part of a $250 million investment that the company will be required to make by the end of 1975 for new generating plants, linesand substations to supply growing demands on its interconnected system. “Our construction plans are based on reliable forcasts that the needs of our customers for essential supplies of electricity will increase sharply during the next 10 years,” the utility presi dent said. He said the forecasts indicate that Idaho Power’s system load will climb to an annual total of about 9 million kilowatt-hours of electricity by 1975 and to more than 11.7 billion kilowatt-hours by 1980. The amount of energy that the company will be called on to provide by 1980 is 69.2% higher than last year, Carlsen said, noting that its 1969 system load was more than 6.9 billion kilo watt-hours. "These forecasts of sharply increased load in the next decade make it clear that Idaho Power has no alternative to continued expansion of its facilities if the Snake River Valley is to move forward with its economic progress,” he said. It is becoming more apparent every day, Carlsen declared, “that the most important re sponsibility of electric utility management is to be absolutely certain that there always will be an adequate supply of elec trical energy.” "Failure to plan and build ahead, as Idaho Power is doing with its long-range construction program, results in shortages of energy and service inter ruptions.” A regulated public utility, Carlsen continued, has the "basic duty and obligation” to provide the constantly expanding facilities needed to serve the load growth of its area. The utilitypresident repeated his earlier assertions that Idaho Power cannot carry out its "absolutly essential’’ expansion plans without the rate increses it has asked the regulatory agencies of Idaho, Oregon and Nevada to approve. “These increases, which are only the third Idaho Power has requested in its history, are imperative to improve the com pany’s earnings so that we can compete for the large amounts of financing that will be required for our expanison,” Carlsen said. Idaho Power has told the state regulatory agencies in its ap plications and in hearings that inflation has increased the com pany’s operatingcosts to record levels. At the same time, according to the utility, its average revenue per kilowatt-hour from general business sales of elec- NOTICE OF SCHOOL BUDGET HEARING 18,010 Notice is hereby given that a meeting of the governing body of Treasure Valley Area Education District of Malheur and Baker Counties, State of Oregon, will be held at Treasure Valley Connunity College ________ 9th day of February ; 1970, at 8 F.M., In the Administrative Classroom Building, for the purpose of discussing with Interested persons the budget for the flacal year beginning July 1, 1970, and ending June 30, 1971, hereinafter set forth.

Mrs. Dorothy Brown, Oregon State University Extension home furnishings specialist, points out that fiberglass is an easy-to-clean material. You can get this in a complete unit tub and enclosure of walls, or a shower stall. There is no possibility of water seepage; there are no cracks to keep clean. Another easily cleaned ma terial is simulated marble which can be used for either the tub enclosure or shower stall. Both of these materials can be kept clean with household detergent and sponge. Abrasive cleaners are not recommended because they may scratch or dull the surface.
