REA co-ops want exclusive rural territories and the statutory right to aerUtf
REA^ in eities and towns ... a complete departure from the purpose for which
ISSUE they were created. They have said they will ask the North Carolina General
Assembly to give them these rights. ;."??)<? j
REA cooperatives were created in the depression days to provide electric
I*: I: . v service to people in thinly-settled rural areas who could not and would bbt
BACKGROUND payyrhat it cost to furnish them with electricity. Investor-owned company*
feB t could not serve isolated rural areas at charges the people could -pay. Recog
'?nixing this, the Federal and State governments authorized the formation, of r
rural electric co-ops to be subsidized by taxpayers. , .
The whole idea of the REA program and operation of REA co-ops invototi
government subsidy in two forms: t, ? "f.'"; <
ELECTRIC 1- REA co-ops borrow all their money from the Federal government >ijt

cpnje tfxes for support of the State government, and no Fedeaal in
