Uhden —How will the long periods of low water on the Skagit af- fect thix unit? The low water periods in the * majority of years on the Skagit | do not extend over a long’ period and at such'times the city will be able to generate what current is required by operating the steam plant in exactly the same manner as it s now doing and has done in the past and as do all power companies in this district as well as in other districts. —If low water sho affect it, how much per ho: the elty have power if the city © tracts at contemplated low rates ve urplun for Its penk dell power munt generated by steamt (I have not answered thia ques: tion, It requires information |for o power will be after the perma- m is constructed? 13 The installed capacity of the © Gorgo plant after the third unit has been installed and the per- manent dam completed, will be 117, 000 horsepower, and this plant can | then produce, based on a 45. per| cent annual load factor, an average | of 400,000,000 kilowatt hours each | year when operated in“ conjunction | with the Cedar Falls plant and the| steam plant.

Gere) 14 I have been informed that a reasonable time for the com- pletion of the high dam at Gorge and the third unit would be two and one-hal¢ years from tho time of beginning of construction work, provided this work can be com. menced at the proper season of the year, However, as a rule, it is rather hard for the city to finance its utilities, and in setting the time pletion this must be taken into consideration.

The city did not actually have $11,000,000 to make this Gorge plant development, but had to sell when they could, or otherwise dispose of the revenue bonds, and exchange them for machinery with the West- \1 Cups and Saucers Set of Six 98e China Cups and Saucers—6 styles, in plain white, white with gold band, blue and white in two patterns and St. Denis. —Basement Store Electric Irons $3.95 edison 6-pound Electric Irons, complete with cord and plug. —Basement Store Second Floor Electric Percolators $4.95 a Seven-cup capacity, new Colo: nial shape; guaranteed to give good service —Basement Store the S.

This cap- italized on a 6 per cent basis would permit the issuance of $12,500,000 of bonds. Of course, the city will not follow this plan, which ts the plan followed by most private corpora- tions, but the city will use this sur- plus, or profit, for the retirement of its bonds until the entire capital has finally been retired. 17 Tewy, many more bonds can be tanned against the city Mghting department before be necessary (withou: wing money from other de- partments) to raise and power rates to pay off thone bondst 17 It is not presumed that the city of Seattle would do any additional construction work unless it had a demand for additional pow- er, and therefore it is not presumed that it will issue additional bonds unless an increased revenue is in sight. If this policy is carried out and the city of Seattle could ob- tain tho power sites an indefinite amount of bonds could be issued against the lighting depart- ment. 1 — Wi responalble for the long delay in the comple- tion of the Skagit, and whyt 1 Actual construction work on e this plant was started in 1919 and’ it must not be forgotten that during the following two years it was very difficult to finance this project as private corporations and individuals were paying 8 per cent and 9 per cent for money. The state law does not permit the city of Seattle to sell its revenue bonds: bearing in excess of 6 per cent, Up to January, 1920, the city of Seattle had no difficulty in disposing of its bonds at par at a rate not to ex- ceed 6 per cent. However, during the two-year perlod following this it was very hard to sell any of eco these bonds at all, and the city ad- vertised them for sale across the counter and only $400,000 were taken. Other methods were tried and we finally had to resort to the only method left and that was to get a contractor to put in the work and take bonds In payment there- for, Considerable time was thus éonsumed which caused quite a de- lay. Also, if the contractor for the tunnel had completed his work on September 20, 1923, the plant would have been in operation January 1, 1924, 19%, does the city not col- et itn Indemnity from the contractors? Can itt Why did the bonrd of public works grant extensions totaling 100 days to the contractors? The contractor has not yet 1 e completed the tunnel and the city is safeguarded so far as the in- demnity is concerned by the fact that 10 per cent of the moneys due the contractor have been held back, which when the contract Is com- pleted will amount to approximately $220,000. This would more than cover the indemnity at the rate of $500 per day and undoubtedly this matter will have to be settled by a lawsuit. The board of public works informed me that they granted the contractor an extension from Sep- tember 20 to December 25 because in their Judgment they were entitled to this extension of time upon their showing made before the board. 2 —Why do YOU oppoxe an impartial investigation of the Skagit, which requires no de- Iny In the work and which neekx to find exnetly where the money has gonet 20 T do not oppose an impartial @ investigation of the Skagit which requires no delay in the work and which seeks to find ex- actly where the money has gone. | tainty that it is really astonis The eccentrie and parsin ous Mrs. Schultz, meeting Dr. Senden on — the street, called out to him: “Doctor, I sneeze incess every morning.
