Other sponsors include Congressman James Weaver, D-Ore., and Congressman Lloyd Meeds, D-Wash. The bill would continue in distinct federal statutory language the log export limitations that have been written into annual appropriations bills in recent years. Passage would signal success against the adverse effects of federal log exports after a seven-year struggle that began in 1968 when Wayne Morse, then a senator from Oregon, was able to limit log exports from federal lands to 350 million board feet a year. • The existing log export ban will expire June 30.

I Construction costs for steam generat- ing plants have jumped 42% in the last I five years. A decade ago, new genera- tion facilities cost about $100 to $150 per kilowatt (one kilowatt = 1,000. watts). Today that cost has nearly quadrupled, to about $500 per kilowatt. Overall construcffon costs increased substantially in 1974, and are expected to increase, greatly in 1975. amd The cost of building transmission and distribution facilities has increased by more than 44% during the same .period, Some items are really soaring. For instance, in the five year period 1969- 1974, the price of treated pine utility poles increased 89% ; overhead con- ductors for electrical transmission were up 137% ; and the price of under- ground conductors for electrical distribution increased 142%. Increased fuel prices are a serious problem in our continuing effort to provide reasonably-priced electric service. According to U.S. Bureau of Labor statistics, the price of coal for utility use increased 74% in one year (June, 1973 to June, 1974). The price of oil shot up 175%, and the price of natural gas was up 42% during the same period. idt, d... Just as it's costing you more to finance that new car or home, it's also costing your electric utility a great deal more to finance the equipment and plant necessary to provide first-rate electrio service. Electric utilities require huge amounts of capital~much more than most ordinary businesses. Therefore, high interest rates affect us more than most other businesses. The post World War II interest rates of 2-3% on municipal bonds have risen to 6-7% in recent years. /ms than While you pay more for electricity to- day, chances are you are also using more than you did five or ten years ago. In fact, the price you pay for electricity has actually lagged behind sharply rising prices for most other consumer goods and services during the past decade. Between June, 1964, and June, 1974, the consumer price index increased by 58.3%, while the average price for electricity increased by about 10% less, or only 46.6%. ... is to continue to provide you, our consumer-owners, with first-rate elec- tric service at the lowest possible cost• We set electric rates at the lowest levels that will ensure a financially sound operation and continued, rell- able power supply for the community. Like you, we're not happy about increases in the price you pay for elec- tricity. And, we're doing our best to hold down future costs. Your wise use of this valuable servant, electricity, will help us in this effort. Edwin TaylorHarold W. Parker M. D. Parrett Jerry Samples.
