Power Bill OKd By G)miiiittee Would Bring Lower Elcclricily Costs to IFAaf To Do in Lincoln Thf Public Works go forward wt must be able to op- CommiUee passed to general file erate soundly from a business a bill which backers said would lead to better power and lower electricity costs in Ne braska. Voted out by to 0 with three not voting was LB SOI which would permit a reshuffling of the public power system. It also provides an expanded voting base for election of power district directors. Nebraska's pow'er experts shifted operations from Columbus to Lincoln in their efforts to solve the state's power difficulties. The comfriex law suit on the power problem was recessed in Columbus sc priiKipals could attend public hearing on LB SOI.

The bill was supported by every Biajor power agency in the state. Nrtiraska is rapkily approaching a power shortage, Robert Crosby, attorney for the Nebraska Public Power District, told the committee. To prevent this, he added, isation of the power set up might be needed soon. Crosby' offeree, an amendment, which was adopted, to add the emergency clause to the bill making it effective upon being signed by the governor. Ralph Canaday of Hastings, di- of the Central Nebraska Public Power and Irrigatioo trict, aaid reorganixation is needed because the present men! network appears to have been devised by an spider." have two or three managers trying to run the same system and we have cmnmitteea that can veto actions of managers," Cana- physi- standpoint as well as from cal standpoint." The physical system is in good shape, he explained.

Crosby gave this exfrfanation of the made up of the Platte Valley Pub- lie Power and Irrigation District I and the Loup Public Power all the power in the eastern two-thirds of state. Consumers Public Power District buys this power am! retails it to towns. This is unattractive from the Standpoint of investment batdcert who buy revenue bonds to finance further construction. (This also has resulted In the Columbua law suit in which it is contended that: NPPS cannot build a generating fdant because its bond rating la too low too gel an economic intcrert rate. Consumers cannot build it because it is obligated to buy from NPPS all the power it As described by Crosby, the tentative reorganization plan would solve the problem by.

Setting up Loup as just a generating agency. Establishing Platte as a separate unit to generate, transmit and retail power in an area west and south of Grand Island. Merging Consumers with the remaining NPPS lines outoidt Ihe Platte area to form a new agency to generate, transmit and retail power in the area east of Grand Island.
