Subject: PUBLIC DEMONSTRATION AT THE INDIAN POINT 2 SITE                 
                                                                         
Reportable Event Number: 34956                         

Discussion:

At 2 p.m. on Sunday, October 25, 1998, a public demonstration was held   
outside the front gate of the Indian Point site.  The demonstration,     
attended by about 800 people from communities around the Indian Point    
site, was peaceful and lasted about 30 minutes.  The demonstration,      
supported by local officials, was held as part of a protest to           
Con Edison's June 15th request for a tax reassessment of their Indian    
Point 1 and 2 facilities.  This tax reassessment would reduce the        
assessed value of the facility by approximately 65 percent, cutting the  
amount of taxes Con Edison pays to all local municipalities by just over 
$15 million per year.  This tax cut would force local area taxpayers to  
face substantial property tax increases.                                 
                                                                         
Note that contrary to the event text in 50.72 event report 34956,        
approval of this tax reassessment is not a referendum issue on the       
November 3 election ballot.
