<br />1700 <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: <br /> <br />MR~ MOSES: <br /> <br />forget that there are a great amount of <br />preference claims in Arizona. <br /> <br />I am inclined to think that the pre- <br />ference users from Utah and from New <br />Mexico and conceivably from Wyoming are <br />going to find a substantial objection to <br />this commercial presentation because they <br />are the ones who will have to pay for it. <br />Somebody has to pay for the line. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Another aspect of this, of course, is <br />that we will have to do some of this build- <br />ing on our own, the low voltage transmis- <br />sion lines we were talking about.

I certainly don't think this <br />Board, this morning, has enough information <br />to decide what. overall plan should be <br />adopted. I don't think the Board wants to <br />move that rapidly. <br /> <br />Perhaps it is not clear what the signi- <br />ficance of this designation of the normal <br />marketing area is. I can give you one cer- <br />tain example that will show what that is. <br />The San Luis Valley is now getting Big <br />Thompson power. The normal market area for <br /> <br />I <br />
