SITE IS
BOUGHT

p. ii. Hebb, Tacoma capitalist,
sold his power site on the White
river Tuesday for $500, 900.
Announcement of the sale,
made to the city council by
Commissioner Gronen Wednesday,
suddenly ended the light de-
partment's attempt to interest
the commission in buying the site.
Although Hebb told Gronen
that he had closed with a large
eastern commercial electric con-
Germ for a million and one-half
dollars, he did not name the pur-
chasers.
I Hebb has had the site for sew
eral years, and has made offers
to Seattle, Tacoma and to east
ern power concerns.
His price, originally 100000,
was boosted to 100000 a few
years ago when he offered it to
Seattle. Then he raised to
million dollars. Seattle voted
one million dollars bonds for the
purchase of the power site a few
years ago, but the money was di-
verified to other channels.
Acting on the assumption that
no prospective purchaser-except
Seattle-was likely to take the
plant, Commissioner Gronen re-
Gently began survey of all avail
able auxiliary power sites, to be
added to the city's present source
of supply, and reported this
week that the Hebb site was the
best and cheapest. He said it was
still offered at 100000.
After receiving word Wednes-
day from Hebb that the site was
sold, Gronen, disappointed over
the loss of the site, announced to
the council that plans for getting
auxiliary power were off, so far
as he was concerned.
Whenever the council is ready
again to consider site for a
second power plant it can come to
me-" he announced.

WHO IS WINNING THE

The first great contest was to be between German

have every nation in Europe at their mercy
