Considerable discussion took place relative to the curtailment in ser-
vice ordered by the State Public utilities Commission, and Manager
Edmunds reported that there had been a general 12% curtailment in the
use of electricity during March over the month of February but that,
the usage was stir.. 3 6 over correspond iag month of 1947. He reported
that pink slips had been attached to approximately 80 bills warning our
customers that they had not complied with the necessary 20$ reduction
ordered by the CommisMon. Manager Edmunds reported that he was gather-
ing figures on the cost of installing and operating a diesel generating
plant of sufficient capacity to take a 20 % Load off the Sierra Pacific
Pw Co. lines to the District. He further submitted a proposed plan where-
by it would be possible to finance such a plant if sufficient businessmen
would agree to advance the cost, the same to be applied as advance payment
on their bills. No action was taken pending further information from the
Commission relative to the time which the present curtailment right cover
and also further information relative to cost of installation and oper-
ation of a diesel plant .
