The white GMC Sonoma bears the library logo on Its doors- a large "L” vv/f/i a round dot over the leg of the "L," and a symbol representing an open book placed In front of the "L". It appears to be a seated person reading a book. Bids were taken, and Trainer Olds of Warner Robins had the low bid of $9,304. "We are so proud of this new delivery vehicle,” said Golden. "We saved for over 10 years In order to buy It." The previously designated van, a 1975 model with more than 100,000 miles, will be on the bidding block soon, said Golden. Frito Lay plant gets past first round, granted PSC approval By VETO F. ROLEY Staff Writer A proposed cogeneration plant at Frito Lay's Kathleen facility has passed the first step, winning ap proval from the Georgia Public Service Commission (PSC) last week. Although the cogeneration plant will provide over 200 jobs in the construction stage, and 40 full time jobs once the plant goes on line, Georgia Power officials say the rul ing will also result in an increase in electrical bills for Georgia Power customers throughout the state. The proposed cogeneration plant will produce steam and power for the Frito Lay plant. A cogeneration plant uses natural gas to produce steam and electricity. The PSC ruled that the cogenera tion plant could produce excess power at a cheaper cost than Geor gia Power. Under federal law, Geor gia Power is then required to pur chase the excess power generated by the cogeneration plant. However, Georgia Power argued that the cogeneration plant would produce electricity at a higher cost than it could produce electricity. "Three Georgia Public Service Commissioners on Tuesday, July 19, voted to order Georgia Power to pay as much as $2lO million more for electricity produced in a gas- fired power plant than the competitive market presently requires," reads a press release from Georgia Power on the PSC's ruling. Todd Terrell, spokesman for Ge orgia Power, said the utility would be forced to pass the costs on to their customers. He noted the 200 construction jobs created by the plant would "go away, but the costs won't go away. The electric bill will be impacted by this decision." Steve Frankel, spokesman for Mid-Georgia Cogen L.P., who will be building the plant, said the plant had a scheduled opening date of mid-1997, and will cost $175 mil lion to build.

"The PSC did a through review of the factors and ruled in our favor. "It took a long time to get to this point," Frankel continued. "There was a whole case estab lished, and a lot of expert testimony given.” Frankel said the start of con struction depended on a decision of Georgia Power to appeal the PSC's decision, and the outcome of an ap peal if it is made.

"We believe the PSC made the right decision," said Frankel, "and we are confident that the decision will be upheld." "We are clearly in support of the project," said Dean Maly, plant manager of the Kathleen Frito Lay facility. "I think that it is the right thing, not only for Frito Lay, but for the consumer and Houston County."
