NCEMPA Closes On Remaining Percentage Os Ownerships Effective May 1, North Carolina Eastern Municipal Power Agency (NCEMPA) Closed on the remaining percentage of its ownership interests in seven generating units at four power plants on the Carolina Power & Light Company (CP&L) system. The additional ownership interest will provide NCEM PA with more of its own generating capacity, reducing the energy the Agency must purchase from CP&L to pro vide service to NCEMPA’s participating cities. The purchase was made with proceeds from the sale of NCEMPA electric revenue bonds. To date, the North Carolina Local Government Commission has issued a total of $1.3 billion in bonds on behalf of the Agency. This week’s purchase is the fifth in a series of closings with CP&L. To complete acquisition and construction of all units in cluded in the joint project with CP&L, an additional $1.55 billion in bonds will be issued on behalf of NCEMPA through 1993. The total issue of debt for the project is ex pected to be $2.85 billion.

Sometimes they get the atten tion I need. - Don’t nag me. If you do. I shall be forced to protect myself by appearing deaf. - Don’t forget that I cannot explain myself as well as I should like. This is why I’m not always very accurate. - Don’t make rash pro mises. Remember that I feel badly let down when promises are broken. - Don’t tax my honesty too much. I am easily frightened into telling lies. - Don’t be inconsistent. That completely confuses me and makes me lose faith in you. - Don’t tell me my fears are silly. They are terribly real and you can do much to reassure me if you try to through the purchase of elec tric power from both CP&L and VEPCO. On April |2, 1982 the Agency began delivering all-requirements power||ti its remaining 21 municipalities, formerly Ser ved at wholesale by CP&L. Between that date and December 31,1982, the 32 par ticipants have saved a collec tive total of about $7.8 million. This is compared to what the cost would have been if CP&L and VEPCO had continued to supply the electric re quirements of these cities. The Agency’s participating municipalities are: Belhaven, Edenton, Elizabeth City, Greenville, Hamilton, Hert ford, Hobgood.

If you do, you will find that I stop asking and seek my information elsewhere. - Don’t ever suggest that you are perfect or infalliable. It gives me too great a shock when I discover that you are neither. - Don’t ever think it is beneath your dignity to apologize to me. An honest apology makes me feel sur prisingly warm to you. - Don’t forget how quickly I am growing up. It must be very difficult to keep pace with me, but please try. - Don’t forget I love ex perimenting. 1 couldn't go on without it, so please put up with it. - Don’t forget that 1 can’t .thrive without lots of understanding love, but 1 don’t need to tell you, doW Page 7-A
