  On January 26, 1996, Pentzer Development Corporation (Pentzer) filed a sale 
and transfer application with the Commission.

  The application by Pentzer requests approval of the sale and transfer of the 
water system associated with the Spokane Business and Industrial Park (Park) to 
Crown West Realty, L.L.C. (Crown West).

  The sale and transfer of the Park to Crown West includes all the real estate, 
leases, and personal property of the Park.  The assets of the water system are 
also included and have not been segregated from the real estate and other 
assets of Pentzer relating to the Park.  Management and operation of the water 
system will remain essentially the same due to Crown West maintaining the 
current staff of the Park.

  Since the sale and transfer filed herein is not inconsistent with the public 
interest, it is deemed appropriate that the company be allowed the sale and 
transfer of the Park.
