NORTH YAKIMA NEW TOY

The city of North Yakima is in an
enviable position with regard to it's
public utilities. BY the act of the
city council last night in purchasing
the only available power site for
supplying electricity to this city, the
municipality retains for some time to
come the power at any time to enter
the field of competition as a pro-
Queer of its own electric light
That the time for this has not yet
come is the opinion OF many of the
most prominent business men OF this
city. They believe, after careful con-
siderati ton, that the concessions which
have been secured are sufficient for
the present, and that the city should
not take upon itself the hazards Incl
dant to competing with a strongly
cntrenched and well-orga nized pub
lie service corporation. Mayor
Schott's veto OF the ordinance calltns
for a special election to decide
whether the people of the city desired
70 enter the electric lighting field,
appears to have been a wise move
and well adapted to safeguarding
the future interests of the taxpayers,
particularly now that the city holds
in its hand an effcacious weapon to
enforce immediate action in con-
Torrance with its needs.
While the Pacific Power & Light
company is to be commended for the
public spirit which has actuated IT
in making improvements in this val
ley, thus exhibiting far broader
comprehension of its duties to the
public than is generally the case with
companies holding monopolistic
grants, nevertheless. hist DRY has suf-
ficiently proved that with the
changes that come about in the per-
sonnet OF the management Of public
service corporations. and the owner
ship of its stock, policies are likely
tn change and unlimited power with
out adequate responsibility to the
people is prone to result in n certain
contempt FOR the needs OF the public.
The time may come in the future
when the people Of this city will
find that the ownership and improve
menl of this power site viii prevent
many abuses, though ii be never
operated, except sufficiently to vest
complete title in the municipality in
accordance with the law.
