Discussion on “electrical features of the United States reclamation service” (Newell), Philadelphia, Pa., October 12, 1914. (see proceedings for October, 1914)

Paul Spencer: Upon hearing the paper read, I was struck with the advantages of having someone supply you with money without interest charges, and being able to make contracts on which you could shut off power whenever you did not have it, or did not wish to supply it. Under those circumstances, I can understand that you might be able to sell your surplus electricity at the price stated. The low rates can only be considered as due to those extremely peculiar conditions.
