Earl tense witnesses. And, in the second place, it was hardly within the realms of human possibility that Ford would abandon the Muscle Shoals project for the Skagit. But there was a lot of talk and a lot of popular conjuring with Ford’s name—and there was bound to be a reaction of disappointment when the public realized that it had been Therefore, what time could be more opportune for a! | Seattle company to step in and say: “Ford won't take the Skagit project; but we will. We will save our city.” In other words—if there is any foundation for this gossip ;——the Ford boom was used as a red herring to be drawn across the trail while Messrs. Blaine and Graff tied up the city with the juiciest contract—for themselves—that any |company ever put across on an unsuspecting public. RATE OFFERED IS TRIVIAL Men who are in a position to know declare that the rate which the company offers is only a fractional part of what the city can get for its dump power. Dump power, of course, always sells at a much lower rate than ordinary or off-peak power—it is simply what is left over after all other wants have been supplied and which! would otherwise go to waste—but there is absolutely no reason why it should be sold for such a ridiculously low It provides, in fact, that the company could drop out and |leave the city with the useless $400,000 plant on its hands lat any time that the rate gets high. LANGUAGE IS PLAIN “If the available power should at any time be so reduced that the company finds it unprofitabie to continue the opera- tion of its factory the company shall, upon 30 days’ written notice to the city, have the right to temporarily discontinue the payments herein provided until such time as the city has proceeded with its power development to such an extent as to again be in a position to furnish a satisfactory amount of surplus power, and, if such deficiency of surplus power shall continue for six months, the company, upon 30 days’ written e this contract cancelled,” The wording is open to only one construction: If the city fails to sell continual power at i $.000169 per kilowatt hour, the com paying or cancel the contract at any ridiculous rate of pany can either stop contract further provides that “should the installa nt or the operation of same * * * be interfered! * such as UNSATIBFACTORY MARKET CON.} xtensions of time * * * as such! * prior rights to surplus power annual payment due the city from the company shall also be The proposed rate is so low that it! ‘0 thru with its! would mean giving the power away— that i, the 10 per cent a year on the $400,000 investment would do no more than pay interest and deprecia- Uon—but even that could be with.
