- Description:
- The document discusses the possibility of the city of Cleveland, Oklahoma purchasing the local distribution system currently operated by the Rural Electrification Administration (REA). The author suggests consulting with a legal advisor to determine the provisions of state law regarding this situation. Additionally, the letter mentions a conversation with an associate solicitor at the Department of Agriculture who stated that there are usually three alternatives in such circumstances, including continuing service with the cooperative, selling the distribution system to the town, or potentially condemning and taking over the distribution station of the cooperative. The document also requests information from Congressman George B. Schwabe regarding any federal laws or riders related to the creation of the REA.
