The HIE Only Paper in Seattle That Dares to Print the News # & A 25 CEN MONTH | TO FIGHT LOCAL ELECTRIC TRUST Seattle Manufacturers’ Associa- tion Declares in Favor of Municipal Light and Power Plant War to the knife against the local electric Nght and power octopus, Otherwise known as the Seattle Bleetric Company, wan dectured by the Seattle Manufacturers’ Association at a special meeting, held in the eh » rooms at 11 o'clock this morning. proceedings were brief Wut spirited, and practically without « . i voice the association voted to adopt the report of ite special Committee on light and power, which for several months has been gath- ¢ring data on the subject Competition is the remedy proposed by the committee, Not until the electric trust has an active competitor in the field, either in the form of another private light and power company, or through the building of th municipal ight and power plant at Ceder falls, the cormittes declares, will ght and power rates in Beattie be reduced from their pres: bitant figure. i ‘The meeting, which was fully attended, was presided over by A. P. Burwell t of the association, The report wan presented by J. W. Kahle, chair mittee. Simultaneously the committee pre- @ con ation from Charles H. Baker, president of the Sno- ne Power Company, asking the ansociation to aid in obtaining an amendment of franchise that would permit of it entering into n with the Seattle Electric Gompany, Mr, Baker's p ine made in the communication is to reduce rates from 33 to @ per cent, provided the amended franchise can be procure. ‘That the present rates are fully one-third higher than they should be was the unantm * declaration of the speakers, with the sule ex tion of Dr. B C. Kilbourne, whe ts himself engaged in the electric business. ‘The association at the end of the debate adopted the committee re- port, whieh follows ' Gentiemen—-Your special committees on tight and power, after a de- tailed investigation of the cost of electric light and power in this city in comparison with the charges made in» mumber of other cities in the United States, begs leave to report that it considers the rates sched- uled by the Seattle Electric company for light and power, excessive. One thousand circulars were sent to consumers in thi for information concer ne power company ures suggest themesives to you!” was an- swered practically unanimously by “competition.” A large number of the replies were further amplified by suggesting that a franchise be giv- en to the Seattie Cataract company under which it would be able te stribute current to consumers. After such « complete and thorough study of the iblem (which ie the most intricate question in electr engineoring) could be undertaken by your committee, it was decided that the following recem- mendations be made to the association: 1. In view of the fact thet Mr. C. H. Baker, president of the Gne- quaimie Falis Power company, has submitted » schedule of rates, dis- tinetly lees than those now in effect in this city, to be put in force when the franchise of his company is amended, we recommend that the asse- ciation do all in its power to secure from the city council the passage of such an amendment. 2 That # petition be presented to the city council urging ite com- mittee on light and city lighting plant to take ection at once in so formulating, and, if necessary, che the plans of the municipal plant at Cedar lake, that it be possible for the city te distribute cur- rent for both light and power to consumers generally. We are credit- ably informed that the water power there could preduce 18,000 horse- Power; and that if @ plant of full capacity were i city would have between 15,000 and 16,000 h. p. for sale. in this con- nection we alse recommend that the city install its own dist: ibutive system of conduits, poles and wires. % With @ view of securing as wide competition as possible on terme that will be equitable to beth producer and consumer, we sug- gest that the city council be petitioned to instruct its corporations committee to prepare a blanket franchise under which any individual oF corporation can distribute current in this city by simply filing its acceptance of the provisions of the franchise. We understand that there are companies ready to enter this field when they can obtain franchises, d it is our opinion that they should be given the opportunity of com- Peting on equal terms with the existing corporation. In conclusion, your committee is of the opinion that no question ever brought before the association so vitally concerns the interest, not only of the individual manufacturers, but of the whole industrial future of the city, as does this effort to ssoure che: power and cheap light. We have given considerable time and thought to the question, yet it is only just taking shape. believe that a strong pubilie nm will stand behind the association in all that it may do to secure better light and power rates —Respectfully submitted, - 4.
