Show the hurry I 1 am as much concerned as any one about the largo large sums suing ot of money fillmore Fill moro acty pays each month tor for electric service and agree with the city administration that something must be dono done about it BUT to me it seems that now is not the proper time for or us to build a power power plant As I 1 se see e tile the proposed program the only reason for building now la is to be sure of 0 obtaining the promised grant of 0 approximately 27 who Is there to say that this thia grant would not be forthcoming two or three years hence I 1 believe the majority of our citizens would wager that it will be obtainable just as aa easily casily later as it will be today it so the hurry one ot of the objectives ot of the na dional administration Is cheap elee elec energy tor for the citizenry ot of america I 1 have been informed that 9 a power line from boulder dam la Is within twenty miles ot of the line the southern utah power company the telluride at the present time has a hook book up with the southern utah power company its not hard to imagine service from boulder in the very near future and at rates less leas than would be possible with it I local plant ou contrast contra ot with telluride has approximately tour four years yet to run it la Is true we might work out some plan of compromise with the power company to terminate the contract it Is true we might break the contract with a suit properly presented to the courts again we might not and have an idle plant to police and protect tor for four our years an idle plant will depreciate as much it not more than one in use it Is easy to suppose that the depreciation on an idle power plant plus the interest on the proposed bond issue might equal the grant now available again let me say I 1 think that when the time is appropriate we must act to meet our power problem our power lower problem two three or lour four from now can call very easily tie be an all entirely different problem than thi one wo we now have it if we want to build then v v probably can got as good a proposition a is is now offered it seems that we have everything to gain by waiting nothing to lose contributed |
