Result OF the Electric Consolidation
Reduction I'm Rates 10 Follow.


Now tina. the Union Electric Company
and thee Seattle Gas & Elsctrsc Light
Company have consolidated under the
name Of the Union Illumination Company,
arrangements have been completed for
the consolidation of the larger electric
light plants. the plant at the corner OF
Sixth and Olive streets and the one at
thu corner of Fifth and Jackson streets
being moved TO the power house on the
Grant street bridge This change has
been talked Of for some months but was
not considered feasible unfn the consoii-
cation Of the two light companies took
place.
Already workmen are employed IN TAX
ing down the machinery of the plant at
Sixth and Olive streets and this week,
or early next week, four of the six boilers
at this place Will be carted 10 the plant
on the Grant street bridge. the other
TWO boilers being allowed TO remain, as
there Will be no immediate use for them.
About the middle OF next month the Sc
attic Gas & Electric Light Company's
plant, at the corner of Fifth and Jackson
streets. Will be removed entirely TO the
Grant street plant and nothing will be
left outside of the general plant thus
formed but the gas works on the Grant

line of economy and II is thought that
the new company. the Union Illumination
Company. will thus be enabled TO make
sweeping reductions IN some OF the rates

that he was working on a new and re-
duced schedule of rates for the inean-
descent lights which would be announced
In about two weeks. Yesterday he said
the new schedule Is made possible by the
consolidation of the plants and the at
tending reduction in the cost OF fuel and
general operation. Ii will give Seattle
one large general light plant, such as
are In operation In most large cities of
Seattle's population. and the consumers
will gain the benefit OF the reduced cost
