City Power Sellers Shorted
In Utilities-REA Agreement
Legislation
Would Stifle
City Growth
By MARTIN HARMON
Mayor (Ilee A. Bridget, City
Clerk Joe McDaniel. Jr., and City
Attorney J. K. Davis will go to
tlreensboro Friday to join ol
ficlals of othei cities distributing
[ vo. in efforts to protect city
power sellers from proposed
change; in preseni laws.
In a bulletin of Tuesday from
tin office o! the North Carolina
Lea,'u« ol Municipalities. Mrs.
Davotta L. Steed, executive direc
toi. said efforts to compromise
the proposed legislation to pro
tect the cities h id thus far met
with little, it anv, success.
Meantime, Shelby City Mana
ger Phin Horton, heading a
spetial area committer. Tuesday
charged th» utilities with .ihr«>
ga’inc prior agreements with the
. itv povvei distributors, as they
com prom, sed differences with
Rural Klectric association coop
eratives.
Mrs. Steed wrote:
"So that there can be no mis
understanding. we wish to point
out that the proposed Agreement
would have th« following effect
ui»on those towns and cities
which operate electric systems:
"A. Inside Corporate Limits
“1. l*owc*r companies and co
operatives would have an exclu
sive right to serve all premises
they now serve within the cor
porate limits, and all new prem
ises within 300 feet oi their pres
ent Sines.
"3. Upon annexations in the fu
ture, power companies and co
operatives would have an exclu
sive right to serve all promises
served by them at the time of
annexation, and all new prem
ises within 300 feet of their lines
as located at the time of annexa
tion.
“3. There are no provisions in
the proposal requiring or author
izing municipal purchase of pow
er company or cooperative lines
upon annexation.
"B. Outside Corporate Limits
“1. Power eompanit*s and co
op ratives would have an exclu
sive right to serve all premises
they now serve, and all new
premises within 300 feet of their
present lines.
"2. All territory not now within
300 feet of lines of a power com
pany or a cooperative would Is*
assigned to one of them by the
Utilities Commission. <This
would not prevent extension of
municipal service within such
areas, so long as the fiOO foot
corridor described in the preced
ing paragraph was not entered.)"
Lings Mountain has a consid
erable stake in the fight. Local
officials say adoption of the law
proposed bv REA aixl the utili
ties would seriously stifle expan
>ion of the city limits. They also
see an implied threat to exten
sion of the profit-making gas dis
tribution system.
“Profits from power help pay
the freight for money . losing
services such as sewage disposal
and water distribution." Mayor
Bridges commented. “It is «»bvi
otis city limits expansion would
be lestricted severely if revenues
from profit making services be
came static or pegged, with no
uUtiiLuuiti growth.'*
