<br />Moon Lake. Buys
<br />Private Utiliiy
<br />On Insurance Loan
<br />
<br />The Nationwide Insurance Company
<br />of Columbus, Ohio, completed, on Aug-
<br />ust 3, a loan to Ii rural electric co-
<br />operative to finance the acquisition of
<br />a small private utility in Utah. The
<br />loan was 'made to Moon Lake Electric
<br />Association, Inc., and approximately
<br />97% of the stock of Uintah Power and
<br />Light Company of Roosevelt, Utah has
<br />been -acquirl:d to date.
<br />Slgning' 01 the _loan docul1lents cli-

<br />
<br />maxes a series of negotiations which
<br />began over a year _ ago by Moon Lake
<br />Electric Association: to acquire the Um_
<br />tah System.
<br />The Uintah Power and Light Com- .
<br />pany is a small closely - held private
<br />utility located in eastern Utah which
<br />serves the towns of Roosevelt, Duches_
<br />ne, and My ton, Utah, some smaller
<br />vJllages, and a small number of rural
<br />COnSUmers who are located near the
<br />lines connecting the towIlS served.
<br />The Moon Lake Electric's distribution
<br />system completely surrounds distribu-
<br />tion of the Uintah Power and Light'
<br />Company, and in many cases serves
<br />consumers on the same street as Uintah
<br />Power and I.ight oonsumers.
<br />Early in 1960 a power el\':change
<br />agreement Was entered into. between
<br />Moon Lake Electric and 'Uintah Power-
<br />and Llght Company to better utill2.e
<br />the generating facilities of both COIn-
<br />panies.
<br />The purchase and eventual integra-
<br />tion of the two systems will ultimately
<br />eliminate many miles of duplication of
<br />lines and will ultimately tenil to equal-
<br />izeratesintheareaserved.
<br />In the State of Utah, R.E.A. horrow~
<br />er type Cooperatives have no status as
<br />a utiilty in the eyes of the Public Serv-
<br />ice Commission. Therefore, there is no-
<br />terrltorial protection for the Coopera-
<br />tive against raiding by large private
<br />utillties.
