Private Utilities Back Plan for Faster Power Lines
Five private utility companies argue before Cannon's and the Senate Appropriations Committees that building new lines would save 176 million dollars in original cost and government outlay, with about 100 million in Federal taxes and benefits to schools, cities, counties, and states. They claim a Federal system would be tax free and that Bureau of Reclamation figures undervalue private costs. They insist the study overestimates Federal delivery and underestimates costs, and they propose linking new lines with existing facilities to avoid duplication and finish five years earlier.
