Importance of power profit increases can be readily seen, when itis realized that our tax rate of 85 cents per $1(K) is expected to return this year only $150,000.” The power-selling cities issued this statement: Conferences between represen tatives of municipalities and the REA Private Power Company group were adjourned this morn ing at 10:30 with the conferee.s unable to reach any agreement, and within two hours the electric combine had their 20 odd page hill introduced in the House and Senate. Rt‘grettably. the cities were not a'ble to dissuade the Private Power Companies and REA’s from insisting that the General Assembly deny municipal gov erning bodies the right to deter mine who shall furnish electric service within their corporate limits. The first indication of that intention was revealetl in the Private Power Company- REA Statement of Principle which they adoptcxl in January.
