The total present indebted
ness of MEA was reported to be
$262,093.23.
In line with the reports of
sound financial footing, MEA’s
manager recommended to the
co-op’s membership, at Thurs
day’s annual meeting, the adop
tion of a “capital credits” plan.
Mr. Mau explained this plan, in
brief, as one which would oper
ate in the following manner:
When money received by
MEA accrues to the point
where its board of directors
feels that an excess is being
built up, then that excess will
be returned to the consumer.
The plan, whereby a share is
credited to the consumer each
year, is known as the capital
i credits plan.
The membership signified its
! acceptance of the plan by ap
| proving the amendment of by
laws to permit its initiation. One
member, Harold Thuma, object
ed to the phraseology of one
amendment which required that
the consumer must buy all of
his electricity from MEA, but
allowed the co-op to limit the
amount of power sold to any
one consumer.
This portion of the by-law was
also a part of the former regu
lations, but Mr. Thuma said he
wanted it changed, so that the
consumer would be given the
power to operate a stand-by
plant in the event of an emer
gency. Mr. Mau pointed out that
the present regulations did not
| preclude such a measure. Mr.
Thuma replied that he felt it
would be better policy to have
the permission expressly grant
ed.
After some discussion. Mr.
Thuma agreed to table his ob
jection until MEA's legal ad
visers could determine if his
request could be incorporated
into the by-laws. The measure
was then approved.
In the amendments approved
Thursday evening, the date oi
MEA’s annual meeting was set
back from March 1 to April 1,
when it was felt better weather
would permit more members to
attend. A regulation calling for
the dropping of a director, ab
sent from three consecutive
meetings without previous ex
cuse, also was approved.
A new board of directors was
chosen at the meeting. The men
who will make up the MEA
board for the coming year in
clude:
Thomas Lepak, R. B. Gra
ham, Walter Teeland, Robert
Johns and Merle Anderson.
Mr. Mau told the group that
further expansion in lines is
planned for the coming year, if
materials can be secured. He
said those materials are even
more difficult to obtain now
than they were during the war
years.
H. G. Bryan, Alaskan repre
sentative of the Rural Electrifi
cation Administration, briefly
addressed the Thursday meeting
and read a letter of greeting from
Claude Wickersham, REA ad
ministrator.
