REA OFFICIALS |

LAUD STATE CUT | IN POWER RATES |

Fund of $780,000 for Six. Projects Released, Town-

send Is Told.

i | The compromised rate reduction! won by Riral Electrification Mem- | bership Corporations in Indiana for | wholesale electric current has been | approved by National REA officials. | Governor Townsend today was in | receipt of a letter from John M.| Carmody. national administrator, lauding the reduction and announc- | ing the release of a $780,000 allot- | ment for six more projects. His letter follows: “Mr. Zinder (REA rate expert) | has told me of the very significant | order just issued by the Public Serv- | ice Commission of your state, set- | ting up special rates for wholesale | energy for rural electrification | projects materially lower than those | now being charged. “I congratulate you and your | commission, and the members of the farm co-operatives who wiil reap the direct benefit of these re- | ductions in energy cost now and | in the future. While I have not' seen the text of the Commission's | order, Mr. Zinder's account of its terms satisfies me that Indiana has taken its place beside Kentucky and | Arkansas in the forefront of the! movement for wholesale rates which | make it possible for electric service | co-operatives to live. |

Sees Beneficial Effect

“In your state especially, I am sure that this action will have a profoundly beneficial effect. It goes | so far toward assuring the economic | feasibility of many rural electric de- | velopments in your state that I am | allotting $780,000 today for six proj- | ects. I had withreld my approval] of these allotments because with the rates the power companies were charging for wholesale energy, averaging about 1.65 cents per kilowatt hour, among the highest in the country, the burden upon co-opera- | tive projects seemed too heavy for them to bear. “Our experts tell me that under the Commission's new order the rave will average about 1.24 cents. The overall cost of current will be further reduced by the supplying companies building the distribution substations. Hence the cost of wholesale energy in Indiana will be | brought within striking distance of | the 1 cent per kilowatt hour level which we have suggested as feasible | and equitable for most areas.

Cites Savings

“The significance of the reduction 1s understood better when its effecu | upon the projects is pointed out. For | example, I am told that on 24 In-| diana projects already allotted and | pending allotment, the energy to be used is estimated to total 24 million kilowatt hours a year when tite proj- | ects are fully developed. For these! projects the savings in whoiesale | power cost will run close to $20,000 | a year. More than $2000 would have ! been saved on our Boone County

project alone, had the lower rates been in force during the last 12 months. “Even in the many areas where | no funds are presently available for | allotment, the farmers will be helped | materially by the reduced wholesale rates. The new schedule will enhance | the economic feasibility of every | pending project, and widen the areas | within which rural electrification | can be undertaken hereafter. “Indiana again is showing the way | in rural electrification”

REA Approves Fund For State Projects

Times Npecial WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.—New fund allotments for Indiana rural electrification projects were announced here today by the Rural Electrification Administration. REA has approved another funds application for $41,600.34 to permit construction of lines in Hancock, Shelby, Marion, Johnson, Bartholomew, Decatur and Rush Counties | by the Shelby County REMC. More than $332,000 has been advanced by REA now. Four hundred and four miles are to be covered, reaching 1200 customers. Also approved was a Hancock! County REMC contract for construction of distribution lines with Harold Tharp, Lebanon. Mr. Tharp's bid was $288,558.73: total cost with meters and overhead added will be $336,344.86. The project is to cover 333 miles serving 1130 customers in Hancock, Rush, Madison. Hamilton and Marion Counties. Approval was announced of a construction contract between the Wabash County REMC and the Contracting and Material Co., Chicago. Low bid was $236,465.50; to- | tal cost with meters and overhead | added will be $275,945.27. The proj-! ect is to cover 273 miles, serving 972 | customers in Wabash, Miami, Hunt- | ington and Kosciusko Counties.

Power Firm Seeks To Extend Lines

The Northern Indiana Power Co. today filed petitions with the Public | Service Commission for authority to extend its service lines in four | counties. The company asked to ex- | tend service in Knox, Vigo, Wabash | and Hamilton Counties, areas eligi- | ble for REMC service. i The new petitions bring to 50 the | number filed in recent months for | service extensions. |

Advocates of a bill in the next State Isegislature to pay $35 a month to persons over 65 years of age are to meet at 7:30 p. m. tonight in the Holliday Building to plan a mass meeting at Broad Ripple Park next

WPA regulations, but an organiza- |

tion can represent only its mem-

bers. “The WPA does not enter into written agreements with labor organizations,” said the formal order,

given in General Letter No. 155 to state directors. David Lasser's Workers’ Alliance

has been doing considerable organ- !

izing among WPA workers, particu-

larly in New York. The new C. I. O. |

Federal Employees’ Union headed

by Jacob Baker granted its No. 1 |

local charter to 4 group of WPA staff workers here.

The majority rule principle ap-

{plies in all employer-emloyee rela- |

tionships governed by the Wagner |

Act. But the act exempts Federal and other public employees from its provisions.
