FOR SKAGIT IS PASSED Only Two Votes Against Ex- penditure of Additional $5,500,000 Despite amertions that the city would save between $2,000,- 000 and $3,000,000 by postpon- ing the work for at least two years, the city council Monday the ordinance authoriz- 1g an additional bond issue of $5,500,000 for the Gorge creek unit of the Skagit project. Councitmen Oliver T. Erick- son and Lou Cohen cast the only two opposing votes, Council- men who voted for the measure were William Hickman Moore, Robert B. Hesketh, John BE. Car. roll, A, T. Drake, Philip Tin- dall, RH. Thomson and C. B. Fitegerald. ‘The bill was approved In the com mittee of the whole after a brief dis ‘cussion, formally adopted in regular council session and shortly after signed by Mayor Caldwell. _ DISREGARD FIGURES ‘SUBMITTED BY PETLEY Proposals from various civic or @anizations that action on the | measure be delayed pending a cont geen survey were rejected. Petley, a consulting engineer, pur- porting to show that the city can gecure ong needed current from the Falls plant and the steam unit at Lake Union, were disre- Prckericlieen Cohen declared that further appropriations for the Skagit ghould be delayed until an investi. has been made and the con dition of the bond market improved. ©"It seems to me to be inadvisable for the city to attempt to float addi tional Skagit bonds at this time when its utility bonds are subject an, a 15 per cent discount,” Cohen sxest.eee SAVING IF WORK WERE DELAYED Councilman Erickson declared that of the Skagit project led belief that between $2.- $3,000,000 would be delaying work for two voted ct rele H CANADA Calls You! stopovers at the Dominion’s most famous hotels. gummer visit to Alaska and the Coast by fend ef tecety. ne Low Tourist Fares fom Sana ie Sop et Seregmer in Pincha: ing your tour, Foul Chichen, sory, Tofonter entroal, ke, Call on or writs Canadian National Railways Grand Trunk Pacific Railway J.

I hadn't been tn there 10 minutes | before the genial colored gentieman was saying: “Suah, jes’ he'p yo'self to another biscuit.” I'd just had two cups of coffee at the booth neat door, ‘There are 276 exhibits tn the lone room, Starting at the door, you get! your coffee and other eats, stroll | \down the right-hand side, saunter back to the left, and by the time you arrive at the entrance again you're ready for another meal I walked two miles and had, besides the coffee and biscuits, five samples of candy, four cookies, two spoonfuls of honey, | ono of Jam, a square of chocolate, a be so now,” he pointed out. The principal argument against the Skagit waa furnished by BL HH. Petley, who took the posttion that the city can obtain abundant current from the full use of the Cedar Falls hydro-electric plant and the Lake Union steam plant. POINTS TO HEAVY ADDITIONAL COST ‘Taking the figures of C. F, Uhden, in charge of the Skagit work, Petiey attempted to show that the cost of generating power at the Gorge creek unit would be approximately two and one-third times that of generating power from the city’s present facil! ties, which he placed at 60,000 horse City Engineer Dimock denied that Cedar Falls and the steam plant can generate a maximum load of 60,000 horsepower, asserting that 40,000 ix the most that can be produced. “Using the 60,000 horse power fig- ure, however, for the anke of argu- ment,” Dimock said, “the total cont of operation at Cedar Fallg and the steam plant would be $2,140,000, while the total cost of the Gorge creek unit would be $1,230,000, a sav- ing of $910,000r Engineer Uhden closed the discus sion with an explanation of charts purporting to show that with the Gorge creek unit In operation, the surplus put aside by 1930 would total $4,511,997, Resolutions tndorsing the Skagit project by the Municipal league were read by James A. Haight. A large| lobby attended the hearing and cheered the advocates of the Skagit development vociferously.
