Power Reserve
Set Up In Georgia
By REA COOPS
Rural Electrification Adminis
trator Harry Slattery today an
nounced a program of power re
serve cooperatives, to insure
against prolonged outages on REA
financed distribution lines due to
failure of power supplies, and to
provide im lortant sources of
emergency power as a measure of
National defense.
Organizations of such power re
serve cooperatives is well under
way in Georgia, the x Carolinas
minois ; Iowa and Texas,
These groups will purchase and
maintain fully mobile generating
plants on a “fire engine” basis,
normally storing them in a central
convenient location.
Each power reserve cooperative
"1J 1 comprise all of the REA dis
tr,butl °" cooperatives within an
area - Each member-cooperative
will pay annual dues for the up
keep and amortization of the mo
bile plants. Dues are based on
miles of power line in operation,
and will pay all costs. In adition,
there may be some income from
rental of the generators to non
RF.A agencies for National defense j
or for disaster-relief purposes,
The user of a mobile plant will
pay all costs of transporting it to
where it is needed, operating it,
and returning it to its base in
first-class operating condition,
Member cooperatives will not pay
any rental charge; other users
will pay a rate tentatively set at
$350 a month.
The primary purpose of the ru
ra ; power reserve cooperative is
to permit restoration of service on
rural power lines in case of storm
or other damage to the power
source or to the transmission lines
which feed a distribution system.
As a by-product—which is especi
ally important to the present Na
tion defene efforts—it will pro
vide emergency power for con
struction work on military estab
lishments, for transplanted or
newly-established essential indus
trial plants pending construction
of permanent power facilities, for
amelioration of flood, fire, sabo
tage, or other damage to urban
power sources, for emergency
communications, for floodlighting
temporary airfields and running
their machine shops, and for hun
dreds of other emergency pur
poses. :

already made an allotment. A loan
