The news release enclosed in trie I erter is print ed below . Honorahle Leonard W. L I ~ i Attorney A: Law Robbinsvllle, North Caro^ra Dear Len: As you know, Narta'^ala Power and Lieh: t ompany'ras applied to the North Carolina Utilities Commission for an Increase .n its electric rates. Apparently as a result of this, we are receiving some inqui ries from your area as to whether Duke Power Com- ( pany stlK plans :o purchase the Nanrahala distribution system. I thought you would be Interested In the enclosed copy of a press release which we have issued in response to these Inquiries. [ may be over In the west ern par: of the Sate In the next couple weeks, and :? sc. I certain! v hope that I will zet to see you. Sincerely yours. J ohn D. Hicks Attorney (or Duke Power Co. In repl v p ar inquiry as co whether Duke Power Company stiil planned to purchase the Nantahaia system ;n view of Nantahala 's application for an Increase in rates, Duke F ower President W. R. McGuire made the following statement. ' When the flrsr announce ment of the proposed purchase of the Nantahala svstem by Duke Fower Company was made, we pointed out that we had undertaken this purchase because of our ready access to the bordering; Nantahala area and the confidence and ability of Duke Power Com pany co provide excellent ser vice to the Nantahala custo mers. Our position has not changed. Duke Power Com pany still wishes to purchase the N'an*aha'.a system. "We have been asked why Nantahala applied for a rate Inrrease instead of colnj: a head with, the transfer to Duke. "P-e answer ro this question should properly come from Nantahala Power and Light Company. "However, we would like to point out that those op posed to the transfer have raised the Issue that the rrans - fer will ultimately result in increasing the rates prlu ty Nantahala customers. Both the Nantahala and Duke officials Kave pointed out twat Nanta hala's rates are now inade quate to produce a fair return on Its Investment in electr'.c property and thar if Nantahala continues In business, Its rates have to be raised.
