One word for
Rural Electric co-ops is...
Efficiency is the telegraph wire that replaced
the pony express ... the gas pedal that out
moded the buggy whip ... the electric refrig
erator that took over from the ice box!
Rural Electric cooperatives are efficient,
straight-line economics — the shortest distance
between the users and the services which they
use . . .
“The best possible electric service at the
lowest possible cost!” . . . that’s the simple goal
of the Rural Electrics. No lost motion .. . care
ful management of the borrowed dollar, which
must be paid back to REA . . . with interest!
Rural Electrics, and the Rural Electrification
Program, are sound investments in America’s
progress . . .

Matanuska Bridge
Curve to Be
Modified This Summer
The Department of High
ways announced yesterday the
request for bids on Matanuska
Bridge approach relocation and
the Clark-Wolverine and Hunt
1 ley roads construction projects
near Palmer. Bids will be
opened in the Commissioner of
Highway's office at 10 a.m. on
May 16.
The projects will modify the
presently dangerous curve at
the end of the Matanuska
bridge and will relocate the
Clark-Wolverine and Huntley
roads to eliminate severe
grades and bad curves.
It is anticipated that con
! struction will be completed
some time late this fall.
The man who uses his head
won't go head over heels in
debt.
RECORDS SET AT
EKLUTNA PROJECT
DURING PAST YEAR
In September of 1961, the
U. S. Bureau of Reclamation
hydro-electric project reached
the one billion mark in sold
energy, it was disclosed this
week by Tauno Lappi, project
superintendent.
The year 1961 was more
than just the sixth full year
of operation of the 30,000
KW Eklutna Project, Lappi
pointed out, it was also the
year in which Alaska's larg
est electric generating plant
set several records.
From January 1 - December
31, at total of 198,188,400 kilo
i watt-hours were generated.
This was the greatest 12-month
output since the plant was com
pleted in 1955, Lappi said. Dur
ing the year. 191,078.000 kilo
watt-hours were sold, brining
in a gross revenue of $1,860,
993. The average rate of 9.74
mills per kilowatt-hour was
! substantially lower than the
: cost of power from any other
I source in the Anchorage-Pal
i mer area, the superintendent
| added.
Although rated at 30,000 KW
generating capacity, the plant
actually carried a peak load of
35,000 kilowatts. In fact, Lappi
stated, rated capacity was ex
ceeded in nine out of the 12
months.
Eklutna power is purchas
i ed by the City of Anchorage,
Chugach Electric Associa
tion, and the Matanuska El
ectric Association for dis
tribution to their custom
ers. The availability of
this low-cost electricity
has made possible substan
tial utility rate reductions to
the people and businesses of
the Anchorage-Palmer area,
Lappi said. These reductions,
he added, have represented
actual savings to the consum
ers of several million dollars
since early 1955. The effect
of this lower-cost power on
the area has been significant
in helping to reduce the cost
of living and the cost of do
ing business.
Revenue received by the Pro
ject is used to pay annual op
erating costs and to repay, with
interest, the $30 million cost of
construction.
The construction of Eklutna
Project was begun in April
1951, and the first 15.000KW
generator was ready for oper
ational testing in January, 1955.
The second 15,000 KW unit was
completed in April, 1955 and
the full-scale firm operation of
the completed plant was begun
in July of that same year.
