Autumn, 1921—The late R. A. Ballinger, senior partner of the legal firm representing the company, founds the Washington Union League club to elect, among others, E. L. Blaine, secretary and treasurer of the company, to the city council. Spring, 1922—Plan to get Henry Ford to take over Skagit project is boomed as a smoke screen to protect the company and let it come in at crucial moment and offer to “take over” the Skagit itself.

The offer was made first way back in No= vember, 1920, but it remained dormant until Probably it’s only a coincidence that E. L. Blaine, who happens to be secretary and treasurer of the company, was elected to the city council at that time—and also to chair- manship of the council finance committee immediately afterward. Anyway, Councilman-Secretary - Treasurer |Blaine says it is. He declares that he repre- sents the city in the council, and not the com- pany, and that he’ll vote against the propos sition if he learns that it would be detrie {mental to the city’s interests. ‘CONTRACT A “PIPPIN” On the other hand, being perfectly fair, he ipromises to vote for it if he finds that it \would be a good bargain for the municipality. The contract has been referred to J. D. |Ross, superintendent of the city light depart- ment, and he is now now preparing a report on it to submit to the council. This report is not expected to be favorable—altho Blaine, in company with C. F, Graff, president and general manager of the nitrogen products company, called on Ross recently, apparently to point out the many benefits the city could derive from the pro- 'posed contract. On this occasion, Blaine explained to The Star to- day, he was acting both in his capacity as member of the city council and as secretary and treasurer of the company. The contract itself is a voluminous document, which would take hours. to digest—and which is worded in a sufficiently technical manner to make the average councilman vote for it to avoid the trouble of reading it. ‘SOME INTERESTING PROVISIONS Boiled down, however, it is quite simple. The contract binds the city to install a third gen- (Turn to Page 2, Column 4)
