vfded the Harbor district with a good 500 more
power than the community has since been ready TO

the investigation Of the merits of the Wynooche
project, made complete surveys of the dam site,
the power house site and the storage basin. We
established gaugng stations and took flowage read

While engaged in this work and discharging our
moral and pledged obligation to the Grays HarbOr
County Council Power Development Committee
while actually taking these readings in August of
this year-we surprised to learn that the city
of Aberdeen was considering the proposition of en-
barking upon municipal hydro-electric develop
ment upon the Wynooche river.
The question naturally arose in our minds: Where
are partners in this enterprise? Are now
to be confronted with the possibility Of complete
duplication of all our equipment and distribution
system?
The great cry is for new industries, new capital.
In face of such situation confronting one of Alb
erdeens most essential and loyal industries what
surance can be given new capital that it's invest
ment in industries would be ssfeguarded?
Would new partners" be treated better than old?

When Aberdeen decides to embark in 81, 000,0 900

Guiding paving and local improvement assessments
that are virtually tax; and second, to the effect
the Wynooche project might have on our service to
the people whose partners we have been for so many

from members of its own family In what way have
we failed to meet the needs desires Of the people
