Cost of Cheap Power Belied in Public Utility Report
J. J. Deuel of the California Farm Bureau Public Utilities Department released a detailed critique of federal claims that Bureau of Reclamation and Interior Department projects could provide cheaper power to farmers than private utilities. He argues the statements are propaganda, with inflated consumption assumptions and hidden costs including required transformers. the federal plan would impose higher overall charges and tax-exempt power would come at the expense of farmers paying private utility taxes. The Farm Bureau expresses opposition to bureaucratic control and rural districts lacking diversified loads, warning of higher rates if public power expands.
