A Financial Contrast

of two of those corporations which do business through sub
sidary companies in Tacoma
These figures show that the Puget Sound Traction Light
Power Co., the parent the r. r. p Co., paid during 1915 five
and cent interest its bonded debt three cent its
preferred stock and piled up surplus of $926040
The American Telephone Telegraph Co., parent of the Taco

eight per cent it's stock and showed the neat little
surplus of $5519,046.

exobany high rate for electric current and that the local
phone is bed numerically by its parent for the rental

condition of the two big companies appear marked contrast to
the confessed poverty of our local corporations.
