program. This was essential.
Without this power of con
demnation. a handful of owners
who refused at sell their land
could block the company's dam
construction program.
Alcoa obtained the power of
eminent domain by creating
the Nantahala Power and Light
Company. Nantahala, a 100
per cant wholly owned sub
sidiary ?of Alcoa, was
chartered as a public utility
tattler North Carolina laws.
This company was a> serve the
power needs of all or parts of
five Western North Carolina
coin ties; Cherokee , Swain.
Macon, Jackson and Graham.
Between 1930 and 1995,
Nmtahala, using the power of
eminent domain In those in
s twees where It was
necessary, acquired 13 dams
(11 gweratlng stations) on the
Little Tennessee. Nantahala
and Tnckaseegee Rivera.
From the outset the Nan
tahala Power and Light Com
pany was a two - beaded
operation. As a public utility
It was required to meat the
needs of Its customers in
Western North Carolina. As
an arm of Alcoa It was re
quired id feed the power
needs of the aluminum
smelters. In the early years
this presented no real prob
lem silica the North Carolina
customers required only about
10 per cant of the power, leav
ing some 90 per cent for Al
coa. In recant years, with the
development of the area, the
five counties have come to
claim about 40 per cent of
Nmtahala's power output,
leaving a shrinking 60per cent
for Alcoa. In short; the de
mands of the company's two
mas wra began to conflict.

"It became clear to us,"
Archer says, "that mlesa i
generating fa
r 1965Nantah
dllties Aat by 196SNantahala
would have exhausted its tip
ply of "dependable, mincer
nptable primary power."
Because of that prospect the
company was faced with two
alternatives:
1. Expand its generating
facilities to meet probable
future needs.
2. Get out of the public
ladllty business.
The first alternative, while
possible, was costly. Nan
tahala controlled the two re
maining hydroelectrie's sites
in As area. But , because of
prevailing land and construct
ion costs, developing these
Am would bo immensely ex
pensive and the additional
power obtained would bo any
thing but cheap.
The company could, aa most
other power companies have
done, nam from hydroelectric
to steam generating plants.
But this possibility was no
?tswer for Nentahaia. In the
first place, the rail service
In tba area was Inadequate to
bring la the large amoimts of
coal required by a steam plant
at the low prices necessary to
make such a plant economical.
In the second place, a steam
generating plant produces
cheap power only when It is
large ( say In the 200,000
Kilowatt class). Nwitahala
could not Justify a steam plant
of anything like that size.
And the plant It could Justify
in the 25,000 - 40.000 - Ki
lowatt class - simply would
not be economical even If
coal were available,
of these facts,"
John Archer says, "we came
to the conclusion that It would
be bast for us and for the area
If we retired from the public
utility field. We concluded that
a large public utility could
come Into this area and, over
the long run. supply power at
cheaper rates than we could
do with our small operation."
Lane in iyae Nantanaia
began to negotiate with Dub
Power. Early la 1959 the two
companies entered into a con
tract for (ale. Duke agreed to
pay about M million for Nn
tahala's distribution system.
Nantahala would keep its dams
and its generating plants.
After the sale all of the power
produced at those dams would
go to Alcoa. (Archer says
that the dams Kid generating
pints were offered to Duke
but that Duke did not wnt
them, feeling thatlt could sim
ply the area with power at
cheaper rates from e steam
generating pint Duke pro
posed to build in South
Carolina.)
In the original agreement
[hike said that its rates for
the ftve-conty area would be
based on the current
schedules, Nntshala's or
Duke's ? which-over were
lowest in eech rate category.
Later this was changed. Duke
said that It would abide by
Nantahala's eery low rates for
three years. After thatDuke't
higher rates would qply.
When the two companies
entered into this contract It
was their Intention, after the
completion of certain engine
studies, to make a public

Duke wlNwitahals continued
to postpone filing a formal
^>Ucation with the Utilities
Commission for approval for
the sale. As they stallsdansw
factor ? the a pec ere of public
power - came into the picture.
Two rural electrification co
operatives ? both then ser
ving portions of Nantahala's
six comty area - began to
Indicate a lively interest in
(1) purchasing ths Nantahala
distribution lines and (2) ser
ving those lines with power
purchased from the Tennessee
Valley Authority.
This new thumb In the stew
caused the power companies to
get tough.
On Nov. 30, 1960 Nantahala
went to the State U til ties Com
mission and requested a rate
increase which averaged 32
per cent above the then pre
vailing rates.
In explaining this move John
Archer says, "There was a
possibility that the sale to
Duke would not materialize.
If that occurred, Nantahala
would be forced to expand its
generating facilities to meet
the future power needa In the
area. To do this would re
quire a big Investment in new
and expanded generating
facilities. Nantahala had to
have the new rates to build
tq> its reserves and to estab
lish a credit to enable it to
build those facilities should
they become necessary.
In the area ? where the pro
test to the proposed new rates
was Immediate and, this time,
taianlmoua ? people openly
said (and they still say) that
the proposed rate increase was
simply a club used to force
through the sale to Duke. This
claim Is based on the fact
the rates requested by Nan
cahala were substantially
higher than Duke's system
wide rates. Counties and towns
which had gone on record as
^proving the sale to Duke
opposed the new rate proposal.
Meed Paper, which endorsed
the sale to Duke, ponied ig>
money to help finance the
fight against the proposed new
rates. Citizens groups organ
ized to fight the new rates and,
all things considered, the fat
went on the fire.
This move?one which con
fronted the people in the area
with the prospect of high rates
If Nantahala sold a> Duke and
even higher rates If Nantahala
continued to serve the five
counties ? spurred interest
In obtaining cheap TV A power
either through the co-ops or.
If possible directly from TV A
Itself.
Hearings on the proposed
rale increase were set and
then poetponed several times.
( One postponement was grant
ed ao that the state of North
Carolina could Investigate
Nantahala'a earnings.) Bight
more months passed and, then.
Nentahala. using a law passed
during the mid 1930s, put Its
new rates into effect on July
16, 1961.
(The law under which this
was done was passed to assist
depression-hurt utilities. It
permitted a public utility to
raise or lower Its rates under
hond. In the case of a rate
Increase, If the Utilities Com
mission later disallowed the
Increase, In whole or part,
the company could make the
necessary refunds to Its cus
tomers. Never before in his
tory has a public utility used
this lsw to put such a mas
sive - 32 per cant on the
average ? rate increase Into
effect.)
Finally In Saptambnr , 1961
mora lhan two years alter
Duke and Nantahala entered In
their contract ? the two com
panies filed a formal ap
plication with the State
Utilities Commleelon re
guiiHfi| approval of ite a ale

There la no question but

the fact this also la an area

I simply don't have the money
to meet that Increase. I'll
have to sell my home and
that means a loss because no
one wants an all-electric
bouse with these new rates."
John Archer, freely admit
ting that Nantahala pulled a
boner in falling to keep its
rates up to date over the years
argues that the new rates are
Justified In terms of return
on Investment. In net effect
he says, "We spoiled the peo
ple In the area by maintaining
too low rates for too long.
The customers simply must
wake ig> to the fact that the
old low rates are gone
forever."
But the people of the area
have not wakened to that fact.
They see another alternative:
that of obtaining cheap TV A
power for the area. (In
all this talk of rates keep your
eye on these facts: TV A rates
are the lowest, Nantahala's
old ratea are nextlowestJJuke
rates come third and the
rates Nantahala put Into ef
fect under bond on July 16,
1961 are the highest.)
Last month James B. Wat
son director of power market
ing for TV A, told Ate five
members of the State Utility
Commission that TV A is
ready, willing and able to sell
power to Nantahala. This
brings the third alternative
into the plctrue; Instead of ex
panding and staying In the
business, or getting out of
the business by selling to
Duke Nantahala can. without
expanding, purchase any
excess power It needs from
TV A and then retail that power
to its customers.
That, then. Is the complex
story of how this case has un
folded. Let's turn, now, to a
consideration of the Issues
that are presented by these
facts.
I. The Moral Question.
In order to harness the
rivers of Western North Caro
lina. Alcoa had to have the
power of eminent do ml an. I
acquired that right by creat
ing the Nantahala Power and
Light Co. As Governor Terry
Sanford said In a letter to
John Archer, "Thus Alcoa
entered the utilities business
through Its wholly owned sub
sidiary, Nantahala. as s part
of the price It was required
?> pay to acquire dam sites
needed d peseta Alcoa."
Now, having acqtdred this
property, Nantahala proposes
a> sell Its (UstrlbuHoa lines
( in effect, sell its customers)
while keeping all of its power -
generating facilities for the
sole use of Alcoa.
This, it Is contended. Is
morally Improper. In his
letter to Archer, Governor
Sanford said. "The course
taken by Nantahala gives the
Impression of a company In
terested In dropping Its obli
gations to the public, Ikseping
die fruits of the resources
which originally beloogsd to
the people and (through th e
new rates put Into affect under
bond) taking a last-minute In
creased profit as a gatng-sway
The argument here Is that
the people of West
Carolina an true ted
lopment of one of feelr great
est natural resources-flow
ing water ? to Nantahala In
the expectation that they would
profit from 4m arrangement
through fee cheqp power gan

This moral qusatlnn ? aa
Walmar Jones, adlmr at the
FrsnUln Press, has said time
aa ? la As root
of Aa controversy,
hollering about rsBs ra
the battle. The
question of the propriety of
Nmtahala wlthdr swing from
Aa utility field, while still
tecpAni all of its gsntritlng
facilities for the uaa of Alcoa,
represents the war.
Spokesmen for Duhs and
Nantahala have never ans
wered this moral question
squarely. John Archer's ans
wer runs along this line:
The only obligations Nan
tahala owes m the are are:
? To meat Aa area's power
?To provide the area's fu
ture power needs.
? And 0 do ho A at rates
that are fair 0 the area and
0 the Investment Alcoa has
mads In the area.
Archer continues: "In the
long run Duke, not Nantahala
Is In a better position ? meet
these obligations. If Nan
tahala stays In the field it's
going to mean higher rates
for the customers than would
be necessary if Duke took
over. This results from the
long-range difference in the
operating costs of a very small
and a very large public utility."
Archer points out that the
sale to Duke will not
necessarily mean that the
generating facilities belonging
to Nantahala (or. More
accurately, Alcoa) will be lost
to the people of North Carolina.
"Under the law," he says,
"the state or any public utility
chartered by the state to serve
the area can take over these
dams by condemnation. To do
this all they have to show is
that there is a need in the
area for the power produced
at these facilities."
Archer Is lmpadentwlth the
fact the moral argument is
raised largely by those who
oppose the sale to Duke. "Peo
ple who favor bringing TV A
power into the area don't rely
on this argument," he aays.
"What they want is cheap
power and they want that, even
though the power Is produced
with a government subsidy and
in competition with private
enterprise. They don't really
care what we do with our
generating facilities if they get
cheap power."
In the opinion of this re
porter ? and In this contro
versy opinions come at a dime
a dozen ? the moral Issue
can be boiled down to one
observation and one question.
The Observation: It would
be Improper for Alcoa, using
Nantahala to do the job, to
acquire these dams though
the state - granted power of
eminent domain and then. Im
mediately after having
acquired the last of the dams,
to retire from the utility field
and keep all of the power gen
erated by those dams.
The Question: Does the fact
Nantahala has waited seven
years ? the last dam was
completed In 1955 ? to do this
alter that conclusion?
If, as this reporter believes,
the answer to the question Is
"No", then you must conclude
that the sale to Duke is Im
proper.
But if you reach that con
clusion, have the people of the
area won anything more than

clusion would compelNan

this controversy....
II Public Versus PrtvaB
Power.

have made It plain that they
would look on any extension
of TV A power (either through
RE A co-ops or through TV A
selling power directly to
Nsntehala) as "a matter of
national concern."
Carl Horn. Duke attorney,
made that plain when, during
hearings on Nantahala's new
rates, he said, "Anyextension
of TV A power will be fought
bitterly, not only by our own
utility company but by every
utility company in the United
States and by many other bus
inesses which are vitally
interested in protecting our
capitalistic free enterprise
profit system."
If the two RE A co-ops,
as has been proposed, pur
chased Nantahala's dis
tribution lines and then served
the area with TV A power, this
would be a clear extension
of the REA principle. RE A
was created to bring power to
rural area which had little or
no power. The Nantahala ter
ritory is 100 per cent
electrified To permit the
co-ops to take over the Nan
tahala territory would repre
sent a baste expansion of the
policy limitations now placed
on REA. Duke, bached by every
utility company in the nation,
will fight such an extension
for reasons too bovlous to
need underscoring.
The question of TVA's ser
ving the area Is not so clear
cut.
In 1959, when It passed the
TV A revenue Bond Issue Act;
Congress specifically ruled
that TV A was prohibited from
expanding Into any area where
It or la dlstrlbutiors, were
not "the primary sources of
power supply on March
1, 1957."
Duke contends that If TV A
Is permitted to serve the Nan
tahala area with power, ltwlll
be In plain violation of this
1959 law. To support that
contention, Duke attorneys
point out that TV A officials,
TV A annual reports and TV A
power-system maps make it
clear that TV A was not the
primary source of power in
the Nantahala territory either
i Scoot fc Clsv County
Mora or atncs March 1.1*97.
Duke attorneys a ay, "tend
July 19, 19*2 - whan TV A

Nantahala. TV A aevar had
dalihfl that hi* area waa a
part ot the TV A power system
In (act, thay have specuuaiu
aald that the Nantahala area
waa not a part of that ayatam."
On lta part TV A point* to
the (act that alnce 1949 TV A
has, under an agreement with
Nantahala, operated all Nan
tahala dama aa a part at the
TV A ayatam. All power pro

Dufea repiiea that this

TV A B use Nantahala dama as
a part of lta Hood control
navigation-water quality con
trol program; that in terms
of power service the Nantahala
?res U not, and never wee, a
part at the TV A ays tarn.
This is a question of fact
that undoubtedly will go into
die courts for decision. In
the opinion of this reporter the
decision reached by the courts
will not be based so much on
the evidence as it will be
based on the policy decision
of whether or not It Is de
sirable to enlarge the area in
which public power competes
with private power.
TV A says that selling power
to the Nantahala area will not
aet a new precedent; that TV A
presently is selling power to
privately owned utilities in
Bells and Franklin, Tenn.
While that Is true. It
scarcely provides an analogy
ID Justify TVA's stepping into
the Nantahala territory. The
private utilities at Bells and
Franklin are tiny as compared
to Nantahala. The company at
Bells, for example sold Its 617
customers 10 million killo
watts ?f power In 1961 and
that power was delivered to
the customers over 10 miles
of line. In 1961 Nantahala
delivered 200 million kilo
watts of power to its 16,000
customers over 1,800 miles
of line.
You can suck a pin In the
fact that TV A power la com
ing Into the Nantahala ter
ritory by only one route and
that la over Duke's dead body.
Thin caae represents a major
collision between the concepts
of public and private power.
In such a collision there Is,
in the eyes of companies like
Duke, no room for com
promise.
In terms of time spent In
hearings ? more than ten
weeks ? and In terms of
testimony ? something like
7,00 pages ? this Is the long
est and, perhaps, the most
complex case ever to come
before the State Utilities Com
mission.
It Is complex. In part, be
cause this case mixes mat
ters of principle with
expediency.
The first Issue ? the pro
priety of Nantahala's retiring
from the public utility field
while retaining the fruits It
originally obtained by entering
that field -presents a question
of principle.
But, in this Instance, If you
follow principle to Its logical
conclusion, you end up deny
ing Nantahala the right to re
tire from the utility field and,
in so doing, you saddle the
people of the slx-coimty area
with the maximum possible
lower rates.
(Just bow high those rates
