moved from the Puget Sound
Orient trade. According to a
dispatch received in New York,
the entire fleet of the Alfred Holt

GUILTY!
Especial to The Times.)

I
OLYMPIA, Feb. 90. - Open
charges that Louis Bean and the
Stone Webster lobby were directly
responsible in 1915 for putting
through the joker which repealed
the right of cities to extend utill-
ties beyond their corporate limits
were made at a meeting of the
house committee on cities of the
first class last night.
Bean himself attended the
meeting, accompanied by Frank
Oakley, Stone-Webster attorney,
and was relentlessly grilled by the
city attorneys of Tacoma, Seattle
and Spokane, and City Commits
sioner Gronen, who were there in
behalf of house bill 25S, to re-
store the authority which the
Joker" took away.
Bean Hits Back.
The debate grew hot. Bean tried
to hit back by forcing Gronen to
admit that the city of Tacoma had
violated the law by furnishing
power to points outside the city
after the right had been repealed.
In turn, he was forced by Rep.
Roth, member of the committee,
to acknowledge that he was there
lobbying for no other interest than
that of the power company, for
the purpose of shutting off COM
petition.
The apparent intention of Rep.
Bob Grass, chairman of the conf
mittee, to put the bill to sleep on
the ground that the question had
already been passed upon and de-
feated by the legislature in the
action on senate bill 81 and the
Swale bill in the house, only serv-
ed to increase the warmth of the
meeting.
Tideflats Need 1t.
City Attorney Harmon of Taco
ma and Attorney b. w. Coiner,
with Corporation Counsel Caldwell
of Seattle, pointed out that the
subject matter of the bill was en-
tirely new. in that it provided a
three-mile limit for extension of
municipal utilities, provided for a
two per cent gross earnings tax,
and that the utilities so extended
should come under the regulation
of the public service commission.
City Attorney Harmon spoke
particularly of the situation in Ia
coma, telling of the new industries
on the tideflats, which need cheap
power in order to grow.
This section is going to be our
big business section" he said.
1.-The manufacturing plants there
employ labor living in Tacoma.
Tacoma is vitality interested in
their growth.
Report Is Expected.
"All we ask for is the right to
furnish our surplus power to this
territory Immediately tributary to
the city. We have no intention of
extending it for long distances be-
yond."
Gronen told of the large amount
of surplus power which must go
to waste unless Tacoma is allowed
to use 1t.
''If the city is able to use the
surplus that otherwise would go
to waste. it will mean lower rates
for everybody" he said.
Gronen added that the profit
from furnishing cheap power to
the nitrate plant near LaGrande
would mean from $4,000 to $780,
600 to the city.
1t is thought, however, there
will be enough votes in the COM
mittee to report the bill out.
