they dunk much money and many

they sink the mine deeper and run
galleries likewise. And then did they
dig In other directions.
And when, at the end Of eleven
years. their money having been well.

did they go back and try 10 discover

they found that some Of their dig.

Our Electric Light Bills

Editor The Star:
In regard 10 The Stars recrnt
articles concerning electric light
rates TO Seattle homes. permit me to
call your attention briefly TO the fol
lowing facts and figures.
City light department started by
bond issue March 4. 1902. Residence
light rates under private concerns
1920 per kilowatt hour. Rate re-
duced then to s0.f2 X. w. III. by
private concerns and to 1910 X. w.
II. In 1905. when the city light plant
began operations.
The city light rate ut first was
So.osh per X. w. H.. In 1911 re-
1912 to 5000. These reductions were
met. OF course. by corresponding re-
auctions In the privately owned con-
Germs. These rates we're further re.
duced TO so.055 X. w. II. and later
restored TO 5000 X. w. H., when the
cost OF materials and wages rose.
Now. Mr.. Editor. in the face OF
these reductions. can you pronounce
the city light or IT'S management
anything but an unqualified success
Let us have all the facts please: give
the people OF Seattle the rates from
Everett. Spokane. Bclllngham and
other municipalities served by priv
ate corporations.
In the face of an average increase
of nearly 20 per cent In living and
materials do you think the rates
have gone up much? Your paper
costs 100 per cent more than II did
a few years back. why? Gas is so
per cent higher. phone rates higher.
carfare higher. The only reason
electric service isn't higher Is be
cause Seattle has its municipal light
department competing with the pri.
yateiy capitalized concern.
