Good Work, Council!

ZEAL friends of the Skagt project will be gratifed
IN the action of the city council in hating further
construction work on the Skagit hydro-eectric project
There is too much mystery about the Skagit
We don't have that easy feeling we should have when
we spend money in the hope of adequate returns. The
public has right to know just what il Is going TO get for
the millions that have been sunk in that project So far
nobody has been able TO tell us.
number Of things have happened during the past Few
days which further TO emphasize the ACCESSIBILITY OF
going slowly with further light department develop
mentS job like the SSagt affords great opportunity
for special ayors and the people who pay the bills are not
asking too much when they demand that inventory be
taken before further merchandise is purchased,
Take the mayors telegram TO George Russell. for
instance Brown wired Russell to try TO block the council
in its determination 10 stop the expenditure of further
sums on the Skagit at this time At the time the
mayor wired TO the council insisting that the bid of
CLIQUE of bond buyers for light department bonds be
accepted in spite of the fact that its acceptance It's
competitor would loss of about $4,000 TO the
city
Why the mayor is so intensely interested in serving
this particular group of bond buyers is something
nobody at the city hall has been able TO explain.
Further Skagit construction would mean bond
issues. Other bonds have been sold by the light
department at figures highly profitable TO the buyers
but very expensive TO the city.
William Hickman Moore insisted the council should
accede the mayors demand that Skagit construction
work be continued and Mr. linden retained Mr. Moore's
has held rather well paid position under Mr. Uhden
Mr. Moore could see no reason why work should be
stopped or Mr.. linden retired.
And so it is with considerable satisfaction that
say Finish the Gorge unit and don't go any further
until know what we've got for the money that's been
spent proper investigation might lead us to the con-
cuson that the councils action Monday, instead OF being
hasty long overdue.
