vA. STATE LIBrtArti RICHMOND 19, VA. Volume XXVI, Number 11 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA • THURSDAY, JANUARY 23, 1975 FIFTEEN CENTS Accidents occur on icy winter roads HAZARDOUS icy roads caused a series of traffic accidents in Rappahannock during the past few days. January 18 at noon near Huntly on Route 522 a single car crash occurred. According to Trooper W.A. Buntin, Alice Virginia Thomas of Sperryville skidded on ice and struck a bank on the right of the road. She was taken to Warren Memorial Hospital by Chester Gap Rescue Squad where she was checked and released. Damage to the vehicle was estimated at $500. The same day at 2:15 p.m. on Route 662 near Huntly two vehicles Lana reappraisals to be mailed soon THE LOCAL BOARD of Tax Assessors, chaired by Robert P. Anderson of Woodville, reported Wednesday that the reappraisal of real estate in Rappahannock will be completed soon. He said that notices of the reappraisal will be mailed to landowners in the near future. - Included in the notice will be the assessed value of the property, which is based on 15% of the fair market value as determined by a State Appraiser. The former assessed value was 20% of the fair market value. These figures produced by the State Appraiser have been gone over and “equalized” by a Board, composed of Rappahannock landowners, one from each magisterial district. This Board is made up of Robert P. Anderson, Hampton, chairman; H.S. Barksdale, Flint Hill, Wakefield; Charlie Compton, Amissville, Jackson; Helen Kilby, Sperryville, Piedmont; Walter Masterson, Woodville, Stonewall. Notices mailed to landowners will contain the time and place property owners may meet with the local board to discuss their reappraisals. □ collided as they met on a hillcrest when the road was icy. Involved were James S. Dawson III of Huntly, driving a 72 Ford pickup, and Charles H. Jenkins, also of Huntly, operating a 63 Ford pickup. Dawson applied his brakes and skidded into the Jenkins truck. Damage wassetat$700 to Dawson and $300 to Jenkins, said Trooper Buntin. Sunday at 5:30 p.m. in Sperryville a car crashed into a bridge on Route 1002. John Carter of Sperryville, driving a 67 Ford owned by Donna Brent of Washington, Va. braked the vehicle on the wet road and skidded into the bridge. Carter escaped injury but was cited for failure to drive to the right of the road by Trooper Buntin. MONDAY during the snowstorm Barry Adkins of Washington driving a 68 Ford Falcon lost control of the vehicle on Route 231, struck a highway sign and ran into a fencfi on the C.E. Johnson farm. Damages were estimated at $200 and no charge was made by Trooper J. A. Wa>son. The afternoon of the same day two vehicles collided on Route 211 east of Washington. Involved were Kenneth Wampler driving a 74 Ford pickup and Gary Coppage of Timberville operating a 69 Volkswagen. According to Trooper Watson, Wampler was eastbound as Rural mail boxes resemble loaves of bread as each one bolds its equal portion of snow which fell Monday. Traffic was snarled and many skidding pBaaEwft. highway mishaps occurred during the day. Accumulation was not great but icy secondary roads prevented schools from opening Monday and Tuesday. Coppage attempted to pass him. Coppage lost control of the vehicle, spun around in the road and struck the left front of the truck. Damage was estimated at $100 to the truck and $300 to the car. Coppage was cited for reckless driving. SATURDAY night six miles south of Sperryville on Route 231 Gail Lynn Timmons of Sperryville escaped injury when she turned over in a 68 Plymouth she was driving. According to Trooper R. A. Baines, she lost control of the car on the icy highway and flipped over. A mile west of Sperryville on Route 211 Sunday two vehicles collided with minor property damage resulting. Richard McKenna of Harwood, Md. driving a 74 Chevrolet was attempting to pass two vehicles, one a 68 Pontiac operated by Ernest Seale of Syria. At this time, Seale started to pass the vehicle in front of him and they collided. McKenna was cited by Trooper Baines for failing to give signal and Seale was charged with defective lights.□ Robinson’s bill would aid farmers REP. J. Kenneth Robinson has introduced a bill in Congress to treat agriculture as a business in regard to certain paperwork exemptions under the Federal Truth in Lending Act. “Many farmers have experienced delays in obtaining money from lending institutions because of a notification and waiting period required by a law intended primarily to protect non-business borrowers and consumer^ purchasing items on an extended payment basis,’’ Robinson explained. “Business loans were exempted from these requirements, on the assumption that business people were competent to understand the details of their loan agreements, but agriculture was not included as a business,’’ he noted.

LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Slow down THE reluctance of state authorities to give full safety credit to the reduced, 55-miJ^-anhour speed limit now ^effect on the roads of Virginia and the nation, is somewhat puzzling. After reporting that tentative 1974 traffic death figures indicate that statistics will show a rather dramatic reduction in highway deaths, Colonel H. W. Burgess, Superintendent of State Police, went on to sort of pooh-pooh the 55-mile-anhour limit’s role in this reduction. He reeled off a number of 'other factors which he also thought were responsible —increasing use of seat belts, high school driver education courses, less mileage driven, &c., &c. All of these things may very well have been factors, but most people we know, private motorists and lafw enforcement officials alike, agree that the lower speed limit, which the State Police have been vigorously enforcing, is perhaps the major factor. So why try to belittle it? Because so much money has been invested in high-speed superhighways, must state officials now try to head off any tendency toward reducing the speeds of vehicles using these broad, over-engineered ribbons of concrete and asphalt? Does the “oil lobby” want us to drive faster, so we can use up its products faster? Is Colonel Burgess afraid that the size of his bureau will decrease as traffic statistics decrease, too? PROBABLY none of these questions deserves a “yes,” but eagerness to downgrade the lower speed limit as a safety asset is peculiar. Let’s give it all the credit it deserves, and see to it that any effort to do away with it is resisted strongly.□ RAPP CHATS By RAP OWINGS Extension Agent, Agriculture BEEF SITUATION—I don’t know what it costs to produce a feeder calf anymore, but several farm publications are quoting a production cost of around 55(5 per pound for a 400 pound calf. If this is true, based on last week’s market prices, farmers are losing in the neighborhood of $100 for every calf they sell^-J There is a story going around, for all I know its true, that brings home just how rugged the present price situation is: “There are two brothers in the cattle business down in Texas. One specializes in stealing cattle and the other one is stealing the feed. And they are still losing money.” This may be the year to build a young cow herd. A time to keep \hack replacement heifers; and a time to sell off old cows and trade dollars to buy back young stock. This could put you in a very favorable situation when cattle prices go up again. It’s a buyer’s market fpr bulls this winter. If you shop early you should be able to take your pick for a very reasonable price. When selecting a bull demand production records. Look for bulls with above average non creep feed 205 day weights and hefty 365 day weights.

Letters to the editor yepco denounced Editor: Our two-months Potomac Electric bill which came this week totaled $89.25, an increase of about 100 per cent in a year. Of this amount, the new bill notes that $17.58 is due to the automatic fuel cost increase permitted the electric utilities under revised regulations, and this automatic pass-on to the consumer is bound to increase sharply again under the President’s wondrous new program to let oil prices rise to still giddier heights. We have tried to cut down on our own use of electricity, as have so? many other users, but despite decreased usage the bills have been going up and up, with no end in sight. Despite these soaring electric costs, the utilities keep demanding more and more rate increases. Rates of the 50 largest electric utilities rose 55.4 per cent in the first half of 1974, according to National Utility Service, Inc. Potomac Edison has been granted a succession of rate hikes while the Virginia Electric Power Company, was granted a $28 million rate increase last June and just two months later requested an additional “emergency” increase of $127.3 million and was granted $97.7 million, promptly announcing it would ask the State Corporation Commission for the uaiancu ol/uii. And so the bewildered consumer is getting soaked to the marrow as never before and scarcely knows what to do about it. At a meeting last year of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection, which has been trying to protect both the environment and the consumer, someone said during a discussion of the Attorney General’s plan to investigate Vepco’s rate and new-construction programs, as well as its in-house expenditures, “But we don’t want to destroy Vepco.” Certainly not, but it should be noted that the odds are not against Vepco so much as they are against consumers, who can ill afford these skyrocketing electric bills. One needs ask who is worse off, the hard-pressed consumer with utility bills doubling in a year and still going up, or Vepco President T. Justin Moore, for example, who has nobly called on the public for austerity and sacrifice in cutting down electric use, who has cried again and again that his public utility is in dire financial straits, and who continues to receive a salary of over $90,000 a year plus generous expense allowances? Each member of Vepco’s board of directors receives an annual salary of more than $1,000 a week, and the board chairman manages to scrape by with only $116,500 annually. The point is repeatedly made by Vepco officers and stockholders that continuing rate hikes are necessary to maintain the 16 per cent rate of return Vepco stockholders have been enjoying, otherwise they will sell their stock and new issues will not be purchased to finance its vast new construction program. But why should stockholders be maintained in such a privileged high-return bracket, at consumers’ expense, while the rest of the country is undergoing such financial hardship? ouictj mumes are granted pudlic charters by the people to use public premises and to condemn private property for public use, it stands to reason that they should also be required to place the public interest—the consumer—first. The consumer’s money, if he has any left, cannot earn more than seven or seven and a half per cent in a savings account today, in a four-year lockup, which makes it difficult to comprehend why Vepco insists its stockholders must earn more than twice that. In short, it should be clear that despite Vepco’s constant cries of “more money, more money!” its dividends record over the years is impressive, and it’s the consumer who is getting shafted, but good. We are concerned here with Vepco because, while it does not See Page 11

T H E L I T T L E F 0 X Delegate’s report from Richmond By DEL. D. FRENCH SLAUGHTER, JR. THE BUDGET issue and finance questions will be among the major issues of the 1975 General Assembly. When the General Assembly adjourned in early March of 1974, it had passed a budget with a surplus of approximately $3 million based on the expected revenues for the budget period July 1, 1974, to July 1, 1976. Until last fall it appeared that the estimates of this amount of surplus would be conservative but with the deteriorating economic situation in Virginia, as well as the rest of the cpuntry, the state revenues are turning out to be less than expected last year. # Farm wage reports due FARMERS and crew leaders who hire farm workers have until January 31 to send 1974 wage reports and social security contributions to the Internal Revenue Service, according to Phillip E. Bettendorf, social security district manager in Winchester. “A farm worker paid $150 or more in cash wages by an employer in 1974 is covered by social security,” Bettendorf said. ‘‘A worker who did farm work for an employer on 20 or more days during the year—figured on a time basis rather than a piece-rate basis—is also covered even if he is paid less than $150 during the year.” Employers send in annual wage reports for farm employees on a form available at Internal Revenue Service offices. The form is mailed to farmers and crew leaders who have IRS employer identification numbers. A FARM crew leader is generally considered to be the employer of his crew members if he supplies the workers to the farmer, pays them, and is not an employee of the farmer by written agreement. ‘‘If none of these require' ments is met,” Bettendorf said, “either the farmer or the crew leader may be -the employer. The person with final control over the crew members who do the work is the employer.” The social security contribution is 5.85 percent of the employee’s covered wages plus a matching amount paid by the employer. The maximum earnings amount that counts for social security—and on which contributions are paid— is $13,200 for 1974. “An employer gnust keep a record of farm employees’ wages if it’s expected they’ll be covered by social security,” Bettendorf noted. “The record must show the workers’ names, their correct social security numbers, - cash wages paid to them, and social security deductions from their pay” Some farm employers have deposited their employees’ social security contributions in banks and other approved depositories in 1974, according to Bettendorf. “Those employers have until February 10 to file the annual wage report with the Internal Revenue Service,” he said. Social security contributions help build retirement, disability, survivors, and Medicare protection for farm workers. A free leaflet, “Social Security Information for Crew Leaders and Farmers,” is available at any social security office, according to Bettendorf. The Winchester social security office is at 20 South Cameron Street. The phone number is 667-1511.

In addition, some of the budget expenditures, such as certain welfare programs, Medicaid (for the medically indigent), and the maintenance of prisoners must be based on estimates and due primarily to rising costs and reduction in Federal matching funds, these estimates have turned out to be low. Governor Godwin acted promptly last fall, as required by law, to reduce expenditures of the state government for most of its activities so as to bring expenditures into line with revenues. In his address to the legislature, Governor Godwin reported that he had taken action to/ reduce expenditures by approximately $40 million over the period from now until July 1, 1976, to insure a balanced budget. IF THE legislature agrees to his proposals for budget reductions, there will be additional appropriations which the Governor is recommending. Most of these funds would go to construction of prison facilities and additional personnel, including guards for the penal institutions. I agree with most of Governor Godwin’s recommendations and I agree that the need for additional prison facilities, guards and better administration in the corrections field is urgently needed and justifies additional funds at this time. The Appropriations Committee has been meeting nearly everyday of the session to hear discussion and review of the budget situation. I am hopeful that as a course of shifting some funds from one activity to another that it will be possible to preserve the state’s grants for water and sewer projects. These grants amount to five percent of certain construction projects on the basis of the priorities established by the State Water Control Board. The program for grants to water and sewer projects on a greater than five percent basis in certain localities unable to finance a substantial part of the project is not expected to be changed. dub. ru tne stale revenues ianing the legislature must take whatever action it can to see that state expenditures do not exceed the revenues. There appears to be no sentiment in the legislature for increases in taxes for the major sources of state revenue, which are individual and corporate income taxes and sales tax, and I certainly agree with this sentiment. Right now, corporate and individual tax collections are down from the estimated figures and sales tax collections have increased but this increase is .probably due to inflation and it may not continue. Final action on the budget will probably come at the end of the session. The legislative adjournment date is uncertain; it will probably be during the second or third week of February. Next week I will have another legislative report on the 1975 General Assembly.

Virginia employment problems probed SENATOR George S. Aldhizer, II (D-26th Dist.), chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce and Labor, held a hearing into the problems of tjie Virginia Employment Commission in connection with the growing rate of unemployment within the State on January 17. Senator Aldhizer, in remarks before the Committee, called on the Commission to “undertake whatever measures are prudent and necessary to -end delays in processing claims for unemployment benefits.” The Committee Chairman noted that the week of January 11 was a record week in the number of unemployment claims processed. “Statewide, the Comjnission processed 16,972 initial applications for benefits and processed some 47,830 on-going benefits claims. This is a fourfold increase over the number of claims processed this time last year,” he said. In other Senate business the Senator noted that he did not sup port the Senate Resolution before the Committee on Privileges and Elections to ratify the Equal Rights Constitutional Amendment. The Senator said: “I am sick and tired of the continuing dictates handed down by the Federal Government in Washington. When the Federal Government takes control of matters such as will be the case with the Equal Rights Amendment, Virginia and her citizens will only suffer. I am completely in favor of the basic rights of women, for example, they should make equal salaries as men when doing comparable jobs. Everyone knows that Virginia has actively moved to strike from the code any statute which discriminates against women. The General Assembly and our Courts will continue to move to protect theprights of all citizens. We do not need Federal interven tion and controls to do this.” THE COMMITTEE on Commerce and Labor held a public hearing into the Energy Crisis facing the State on Monday, January 20, Aldhizer, Chairman of the Committee said. Witnesses hear? at this hearing are among the foremost experts in the associated fields concerned with increasing energy supplies and in the development of alternate energy sources, he said. The Senator noted that “Virginia has an abundance of coal and I would like to find to what expanded uses we can direct our supply. I also am extremely curious about some of the new processes to liquify andgassify coal.” The purpose of the hearing was to determine what new laws will be necessary to help the Commonwealth reach a level of energy independence as soon as possible. Also, the Committee expired Special unemployment aid ALL VIRGINIA Employment Commission local offices began taking claims Monday for Special Unemployment Assistance from most persons who don’t qualify for regular unemployment insurance benefits, said Commissioner V\ ill - iam L.

It is designed to pay weekly benefits to working people who are out of a job without the protection of unemployment insurance. “Unemployment insurance is a true insurance program, an earned fringe benefit. To qualify, a person must have worked for an employer who pays the unemployment insurance tax and the worker must have had specified minimum amounts of earnings to be eligible for benefits," Heartwell explained. "SLA is to fill in the gaps in unemployment insurance coverage during the current recession." THE MAJOR categories of workers who aren’t protected by unemployment insurance are most state and all local government employes and farm and domestic workers. Workers in these categories may be eligible for SLA benefits. Persons who are wholly self-employed cannot qualify for SLA. (All state employes came under the unemployment insurance program effective January 1, 1975, but have not been covered by the program long enough to have sufficient earnings to qualify for benefits.) HEARTWELL said that many workers who have worked for employers that are covered by unemployment insurance taxes may not have enough earnings to qualify for normal unemployment insur r EARLY’S CARPET SALES & SERVICE S LARGE DISPLAY OF NATIONALLY KNOWN BRANDS IMPORTED ORIENTALS ALSO REMNANTS Featuring BARWICK PATCRAFT MASLAND MOHAWK ALEXANDER SMITH RESIDENTIAL COMMERCIAL BUDGET TERMS CUSTOM DRAPERIES - SLIPCOVERS (MADE LOCALLY) CUSTOM & STOCK WINDOW SHADES WALL-TO-WALL CARPET INSTALLATIONS VISIT OUR SHOWROOM OR CALL FOR EXPERT RUG CLEANING SHOP AT HOME SERVICE Call 937-4404 or 825-8232 128 S.

Except for broader coverage, SUA will be governed by the same rules as Virginia’s unemployment insurance program. To be eligible, workers must be out of work through no fault of their own and be actively looking for a job. Workers who quit their last job voluntarily wouldn’t be eligible in most cases. A worker who is too sick to work or is involved in a labor dispute cannot qualify either. BENEFITS will range from $20 to $87 a week depending on previous earnings for up to 26 weeks. Heartwell urged all Virginia workers who think they may be eligible to apply for SUA, especially any persons who have applied for unemployment insurance in the past three months and been disqualified for insufficient earnings. Benefits will be payable retroactively to cover unemployment dating back to December 22, 1974, for claims made January 12 through January 17, 1975. Persons who think they may qualify should take their Social Security card and a list of the names and addresses of their employers and their periods of employment during the past year to the VEC office most convenient to them. If a person has a record of his earnings he should also bring this proof with him as it will expedite payments, Heartwell said. Even small VEC offices which don’t normally take claims for unemployment insurance will take SUA claims,” Heartwell said. Offices in this category include South Hill, Williamsburg, Manassas, W’ytheville and other locations where the VEC offers services only certain days a week.L^ George S. Aldhizer n ways to alleviate the immediate emergency facing parts of the State, particularly the Southwest and those areas served by Transcontinental Pipeline which has severly reduced supplies to industrial customers. □ Credits proposed . REP. J. Kenneth Robinson introduced bills in Congress yesterday to provide tax breaks for small investors and for householders making energy-conserving improvements to their homes. The bills are similar to ones Robinson sponsored in the past Congress. “I believe the legislative climate now is favorable for measures to help increase the flow of capital for business expansion and to reward significant energysaving efforts,” Robinson commented. Under one of the Robinson bills, homeowners would be permitted to take income tax deductions for the cost of buying and installing insulating materials, storm doors and windows and equipment designed to increase the efficiency of heating and cooling plants in the home. The other bill offered by the 7th District Congressman on the opening day of the 94th Congress would exclude from income tax the first $1000 of net capital gain realized by an investor in any tax year.C Sperryville squad A report from the Sperryville Rescue Squad for the 1974 calendar year included the following information: A total of 106 calls were answered and a total of 7000 miles traveled in response to these calls.

Mrs. Car inspection reminder ALTHOUGH standard lap belts and shoulder harnesses are required by Virginia law to pass Motor Vehicle Inspection, ignition interlock systems, warning lights and warning buzzers, formerly required by the U. S. Department of Transportation, are not and have never been required to pass inspection, says Colonel H. W. Burgess, Superintendent of State Police. Colonel Burgess said the Department of Transportation no longer requires interlock systems to be installed in motor vehicles at the time of manufacture. This action resulted from an act of Congress directing the Depart ment to discontinue requiring the systems after February 25, 1975. The Department reacted by declaring the non-requirement immediate. Colonel Burgess was emphatic in calling attention to the fact Virginia law requires that all conventional belts and harnesses must pass inspection as to belt condition, buckle condition and attachment. In addition, Virginia law requires inspection of belts and harnesses installed in connection with interlock and warning systems, even though inspection is not required to extend to such systems.□ Henry Block has 17 reasons why you should come to us for income tax help.

Clatterbuck, Mrs. B.B. Graves, Protecting farm heirs SEVENTH DISTRICT Congressman J. Kenneth Robinson says too many substantial, efficient farms are passing out of the hands of experienced farming families because of the federal estate tax. He has introduced in the new Congress a bill to permit executors of estates to have farmland valued as such for federal estate tax purposes, even though the land might have a much higher value if converted to other uses. “At present, heirs who are prepared to continue farming the land, and fully capable, are forced to sell the family farm because it is valued at what is called its ‘highest economic use’, which might be developed for housing or industry, and the heirs don’t have the money to pay the substantial extate taxes,’’ Robinson explained. He emphasized that the tax evaluation as farmland would expire if the heirs sold the land, or converted it to a non-farming use, and the higher estate taxes then would become due. Timber land, and scenic and recreational areas retained in their natural states also would be eligible for the lower estate tax rating, Robinson added. □ Mrs. William Fracker, Mrs. B.A. Johnson, Lawrence Freeman, Mrs. Lillie Carter and Mrs. James Burke.

W. Burgess, Superintendent of State Police. Colonel Burgess noted that if late reports and deaths of persons now carried as injured do not raise the 1974 figure above the 1,050 of 1964 it will be Virginia’s lowest traffic death toll since the 989 of 1963. However, he noted that this is unlikely and that 1974 will probably be the best year since 1965, which saw 1,062 deaths. Deaths of pedestrians were down from 197 to 194 and of bicyclists from 22 to 15. Deaths of motorcyclists were up from 59 to 60 and of servicemen from 43 to 49. Considerable monthly reductions were obtained in February (90-51), May (122-67) and September (128-82) but July set an all time record of 124. The mileage death rate, or deaths per each 100 million miles of vehicular travel, was 3.1 to compare well with the national average of 3.5. Virginia traffic volumes were down an estimated 4.5 percent. COLONEL Burgess said that while the 55 mile per hour speed limit is given credit for the death reduction, there were certain other factors the exact effects of which can no more be pinpointed than those of the 55 limit. Travel was down, seatbelt usage is increasing, almost all young drivers are products of high school driver education courses, Interstate construction mileage increased, many older drivers have completed the National Safety Council’s Defensive Driving Course, availability and effectiveness of emergency medical services have drastically heightened and most effective measures against the drinking driver were obtained in 1972 and 1973.□ SPECIAL SALES OF ANTIQUE AND ESTATE ITEMS Saturday - January 25 - l P.M.

Its main pitch for this new line, indeed the very basis for its application still pending before the State Corporation Commission, has been its contention that electric demand doubles every ten years, and it must plan for this usage. This may have been true several years ago when the application was first filed (although this, too, can be questioned) but it is no longer true, and in light of the fuel emergencies and conservation of electric use and the recession and limits placed in various locales on growth, it may never be true again, or at least not for the foreseeable future. The plain fact is that instead of rising eight of nine per cent a year, Vepco system sales of electric fell throughout 1974, with virtually a NOTICE VIRGINIA: IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY STATE HIGHWAY COMMISSIONER OF VIRGINIA Petitioner vs. AT LAW NO. 587 MYRTLE CARTER BANKS and HOWARD F. BANKS, her husband 1314 Staples Street, N.E. Washington, D.C. 20002 Defendants ORDER OF PUBLICATION IN THE CLERK’S OFFICE OF SAID COURT: The object of the above styled suit is to acquire by condemnation for highway purposes fee simple title to a certain strip or parcel of land in Jackson Magisterial District, Rappahannock County, Virginia, from the foregoing named defendants, said land being described in detail in the petition filed by the State Highway Commissioner in the above entitled cause; to apply for the appointment of commissioners by the Court on the 13th day of January, 1975, to ascertain what will be a just compensation for the land taken and damages, if any, which may accrue to the residue beyond the enhancement in value, if any, to such residue by reason of the taking; and It appearing by affidavit filed according to law, there are persons who are not residents of the State of Virginia in this matter; WHEREFORE, it is ORDERED that publication be had against the aforementioned non-residents, who are required to appear within ten (10) days after due publication of this order and do what is necessary to protect their rights and interests.

ENTER this 10th day of January, 1975. E.M. Jones Clerk of the Circuit Court of Rappahannock County, Virginia I ASK FOR THIS: 0. Leland Mahan HALL, MONAHAN, ENGLE, MAHAN & MITCHELL, Attorneys at Law 3 East Market Street Leesburg, Virginia 22075 Counsel for Petitioner 2-6 zero percentage increase, effectively knocking the props from Vepco’s elaborate new-construction case presented to the SCC. Yet to my knowledge Vepco has not withdrawn or revised its application to conform to the new usage facts, nor has Vepco’s President publicly acknowledged this dramatic turn-about in electric demand. Wht not? Is he trying to ignore or softpedal it in order to keep the pressure on for a highly-expensive (to consumers, of course, for they pay for all expansion in rate hikes) new powerline that is not needed, may never be needed and will stand as an everlasting monument to sheer folly? In view of the continuing drop in electric demand generally and rising costs of construction, many utilities already have cut back sharply their construction programs. Vepco has done so to some extent but persists in its demand for this powerline. If the utility is so hard up financially, as it keeps claiming, why does it want to saddle its indebtedness with a great new financial weight? As one landowner who has viewed the powerline threat for the past three years with a mixture of indignation and a sense of futility in battling “the giants,” I can only speculate that the “putsch” is in effect a land grab, taking advantage of the pro-utility condemnation laws to seize vast strips of land that can only increase in value, and which can be used forever more by the utility to sublease to gas companies for transcontinental gas lines, dig for minerals or put to any other profit-seeking use: this in addition, of course, to possible potential use for a powerline if the need ever really develops, perhaps in ten or twenty years — by which time surely underground lines would be technically feasible. Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, it has truly been said. We must keep our beautiful land free of this unsightly, hazardous and totally unnecessary new powerline. We must keep fighting it with vigor and persistence. Waste or extravagance or inefficiency in Vepco’s operations, if they do exist, should be exposed and corrected—including the substantial funds expended for wining and dining many newspaper owners and editors to try to get a “good press” (strangely, money spent for such so-called “public relations” is not filed with the SCC as a separate item but is included with other expenses, making the sum difficult or imDossible to identify). We can still hope that the State Corporation Commission.will act judiciously in the powerline case pending before it and on further requests for rate increases. If it considers all of the factors involved, including the completely new picture on electricity usage, down so dramatically, and if it places the interests of tens of thousands of consumers before the interests of a group of wellto -do Vepco stockholders intent on getting a 15 or 16 per cent return on their investments, then we can rest assured that just rulings will be made. At the same time it must be said that some of the commission’s actions so far have been far from reassuring. Although environmental impact of the proposed new powerline was a key question in the recent hearings on the line, it named a computer firm to study the proposed route and. alternate routes without instructing it to give specific environmental weights to these studies; or if any such instructions were given, the computer firm failed to assign such specific weights, with the result, of course that it reported back with a recommended route only slightly different from Vepco’s. This bolstered the utility’s case, since the SCC could then, if it wished, choose between the Tweedledee and Tweedledum Vepco-preferred paths. No less disturbing was the commission’s selection-of the consulting firm of Ford, Bacon & Davis, Inn of Mow Vorlc fn malro tho crucial study of Vepco’s operations, a choice that was hailed at the time by SCC Chairman Preston C. Shannon, who said “We are all satisfied with our selection and feel that the firm we selected is qualified to make an honest, objective and inclusive study of Vepco.” Six hours later the commission cancelled this “objective” choice on learning it had done work for the utility company during the past 18 years— a piece of intelligence it had to get from Vepco itself. Shannon, incidentally, is the same commission member who, alone among the three, thought that the enormous “emergency” $97.7 million rate increase granted the utility last September wasn’t enough—he thought it ought to be $115.5 million. In closing, it should be noted that great doubts have been raised throughout the nation about the feasibility of nuclear power plants. In a number of cases, construction of such plants have been abandoned due to soaring costs. In other instances, completed nuclear power plants have broken down and been under repair mqre often than not, and there have been short highly-dangerous nuclear fuel leaks, radiation hazards, and great problems in the disposition of radioactive wastes. But Vepco is pushing on with its construction of the nuclear plant in Louisa County despite this national experience and despite the potentially dangerous iact tnat us plant is being built over a known geological fault. It is this dubious Louisa nuclear plant that gives Vepco its very dubious case for an environment-destroying new powerline across our countryside. Under new state law, environmental impact must be given priority consideration in the location of new high-tension powerlines, if indeed the need for such a new line is proven to the commission. The proposed new Vepco line clearly would do irreparable injury to a large section of the most beautiful, scenic and historic lands of Virginia, and therefore this is every Virginian’s preservation battle. In my humble opinion there is no way, under the new state guidelines, that the SCC could justifiably grant Vepco a permit to desecrate these lands. Yet we stand in great danger that it may still "do so. Moreover, there is no way, repeat, no way, that such a monstrous new line can be justified in view of the sharp downward trend here and nationally in electric usage. For all these compelling reasons, Vepco should, in good conscience, withdraw its application. If it fails to do so, the application for the new line should be turned down by the State Corporation Commission. The commission should, it must be responsive to the new environmental impact requirement, to consumers, to the simple, basic fact that the need for such additional facilities can no longer be shown, and above all, to its collective conscience. Ed. Harris Huntly Editor’s note—This newspaper has turned down two Vepco invitations to be “wined and dined,” at the expense of Vepco customers. Some of our colleagues, alas, have not followed our example. □ BIRTH ANNOUNCED * Mr. and Mrs. George N.
