Pendleton May Combine With Walla Walla For Power Plant
Assessor C. P. Strain urges Pendleton council to consider taking over a prime Wallia Walla river power site. He offers a one dollar option and vows to transfer the site for analysis, with city engineers estimating a 2000 horsepower plant at about 125000 dollars and annual net revenue around 13740. The proposal cites potential relief from Pacific Power and Light rates for Pendleton and Walla Walla, arguing the city could finance bonds and still gain margins.

The commission noted 4 1/2 cents per pound for magazines and newspapers, two thirds of mall matter yet only five percent of postal revenues, and unanimously backed a two cent per pound rate.
