With its power greater extending throughout the of the Uintah Basin the Ipart now serves 1350 1 Associaion will soon serve and I members f some 250 adidtional families. I Ad this annual meeting of the j Association, the following points will be discussed: of1. Moving the Cooperative fice to Roosevelt, Utah. 2. Changing the localtion for the annual meeting of the members from Mt. Emmons to Roosevelt. 3. Changing the annual ing date to a more desirable time. 4. Election of Directors by mailed ballot and by Districts. 5. Voting on the Capital Credits Amendment. (This concerns tne members equity in the assets of the Cooperative.; 6. Election of Directors for the coming year. The election of Directors by districts will help to balance the Board more evenly. A good board of directors can mean the difference between good service and poor service, between being in tne black and the red, between a successful, respected community enterprise and a failure. Moving the headquarters of the Cooperative from Mt. Emmons to Roosevelt is intended to cut operation costs. Eight hundred miles of line cannot be maintained economically unless the Association office is centrally located, on fast oil surfaced loads. Such items as banking, telephone facilities, freight deliveries, truck repair and maintenance, and closer business contacts are just a few of the advantages which will be gained by this proposed move. A million dollar business cooperative cannot be handled efficiently under the present restricted conditions. Voting on the Capital Credits plan amendment is high on the list of musts for Cooperative members. Under this plan, all amounts received by the Association from furnishing of electric energy in excess of all operating costs and expenses properly chargeable against the furnishing of electric energy would be paid in by the patrons and received by the Cooperative as capital to be used for proper corporate purposes. Each patron would receive credit for the capital so furnished in each year, and this capital would be returned to the patrons on a revolving basis when the retirement of such capital would not impair the financial stability of the Cooperative. An excellent program of entertainment is being planned and to those who report on time, a ticket will be issued entitling them to a free lunch. Late comers will be expected to pay. An outstanding electrical exhibit is planned, showing all the very latest advancements in farm and home equipment. This alone would be compensation for com-in- g to the meeting. Each Association member is reminded that this is his cooperative. . DUCHESNE, UTAH, FRIDAY, i 3 C. C. Mickelson Resigns As Secretary of Lions Club Wednesday Night By Wm.
