<br />Over 27 years, the Ramped Capitalized I nterest concept would cost
<br />$966,000 more than without the concept, representing a loss of only
<br />1.5% of the benefits while wiping out the shortfall in the early years.

<br />RECOMMENDA TIONS:
<br />I recommend that we transfer Electric Department Surplus; as outlined, to the Escrow
<br />Account for the followi ng reasons:
<br />
<br />1. The Electric Department does not have a Reserve for Depreciation
<br />Account. Mr. Noland says that Southeastern Engineers have advised us
<br />that we will need a $3.2 million sub-station to receive additional power
<br />in the late 80' s if we do not build the hydroplant. Because we have not
<br />accummulated reserves for depreciation, we should begin setting money
<br />aside now regardless of whether or not we build the Ridgeway Plant;
