MOPPING UP OF THIRD WAR LOAN IN NOR. CALIF. ' Mopping up. operations in the Third War Loan Drive. were under-. ‘way this week throughout PORES ED . California. ‘ Returns from the early stages of the drive indicated total sales in Northern California of $250,000,000 i with a substantial amount yet to be . sold if this section of the state is to . meet its $424,000,000 quota. . Emphasis th the closing weeks of cas drive concentrated on ‘the sales }of Series E bonds —the People’s 'bond—which, in the early stages of ithe drive, fell behind the purchases ‘of larger groups and corporations. . The -series E Bond is especially designed for the small investor, and ‘is available in denominations from ,$25 to $1,000. It offers the highest . returns of any of the different types jof government securities, if held :o maturity. For every $3 invested, it returns, $4 at the'end of ten years. . Officials of the Northern Califorjnia money raising campaign pointed out that the burden of filling ‘the quota rested in large measure on ‘in. dividual purchases, since the “biz . buyers” and the “cash money” came in early in the campaign. From here on in, they said, it was jup to every individual to purchase bonds to the limit of their ability in order to do their share-in the naition’s effort to raise 15 billion dollars in the Third War Loan. Drive officials emphasized \ that . Italy’s downfall and the favorable . Progress of the war on all fronts did . not lessen by as much as one penny the amount of money Uncle Sam would need to carry the war to a successful conclusion. iIf anything, they pointed out, the more money raised. now—the higher the sale of bonds, the mofe chance for an early I victory. . pany has entered into a contract with jthe Department of the Interior for P. 6. E. CONTRACTS FOR DELIVERY OF SHASTA POWER By JAMES B. BLACK President P. G. & E. The Pacific Gas and Electric Comthé purchase of the power to be generated at Shasta Dam. For the war period the capacity of the plant will be 150,000 kilowatts. . While this is a large installation: it represents only 8 per cent of the power resources of the Pacific Gas and Electric Conipany. Shasta power will be delivered to the company’s Shasta substation, located on its Pit River transmission system, about 25 miles below Shasta ‘Dam. It will be metered and paid. for at that point. . A transmission line between Sihas¢ ta substation and Oroville, a distance of 75 miles, is now being built by the government at a cost of $1,250,000. The company Proposed to build this line out of its own funds, and last June congress refused to make an appropriation for its construction by the government. However, the Department of the ‘Interior had on hand unexpended balances from other appropriations with Which to build the line. It is now using such funds for that Purpose. Under the contract the line between Shasta substation and Oroville will be leased to the company for a rental of $75,000 per: year and will be operated and maintained by the company. It will be in effect a tiei line between two transmission systems of the company. During six months of the year this line will be
used to transmit power generated in the Pit River plants of the company down the east side of the Sacramento ‘Valley. by way of Oroville. At such times Shasta power will be transmitted from Shasta substation down the west side over the existing Pit river trangmission lines. The Shasta plant is expected to he in operation sometime after March Ist next year. During 1944 the conpan will take as much of the output as can be used in its system and beginning January Ist, 1945, will increase its’ purchases to a minimum of 800 million kilowatt hours annually. It will pay the government’ approximately. $3,000,000 a year beginning January Ist, 1945, with a guarantee of $2,700,000. The contract provides that the government may withdraw power if it. chooses, up to 50,000 kilowatts. When it takes back half this amount or 25,000 kilowatts, it may terminate the lease of the Oroville line. Then the government would make delivery of the reduced amount of power to the company at Oroville instead of Shasta substation. In that event thé company’s payments for power would be reduced more than. $330,000 a year and the government would lose also the $75,000 a year rental for the line. change of power for the operation of the govérnment’s pumping plants: on the Contra Costa canal unit of the ‘Central. Valley project. Power for itthese plants is now being furnished iby the company. The ‘company will continue to serve them but will be paid hereafter in power delivered to it at Shasta substation. The contract will run until Decemwar and two years thereafter, which ever is the later.’ It will expire, in any event in December 31st, 1949, unless extended by further agreement of the parties. The ‘contract is the result of ofThe contract provides for the exber 31st, 1947, or to the end of the’ Pie aanaiasiaieinmeetiaae Thursday, September 30, 1943 same time in order to extend the market for Shasta power and conserve natural gas and oil used for fuel. This program will be followed under the contract. The contract now entered into will permit Shasta power to be used throughout northern and central (California. over the widespread system of the company. The government: will have the advantage of the company’s market without the expense of building dulicate lines and facil ities and without destroying taxpaying property or damaging large investments already dedicated to the service of the territory. "What You Buy With WAR BONDS Holy Stone Cleanliness is the first order of every American soldier and sailor and the United States Government spends millions upon millions of dollars to keep our fighting men as clean and as healthy as circumstances will permit. “Swab the deck!” cries out a petty officer and the men fall to with their ‘‘holy stone’ equipment and in a short time everything is spick and span.
