TACOMA IS PRAISEDFOR
SUCCESSFUL OPERATION
OF ITS power Plant

Taeoma's municipal light and power
system is admitted by private power
interests as the one outstanding ex-
ample among publicly owned power
plants which disproves all they claim
sainst such enterprises. The Tacoma
light department is acknowledged to
be operated in a thoroughly business
like manner. without political inter-
ference.
These admissions from the private
power interests, which have come
more or less reluctantly but in sheer
admiration at various times. were
given public voice recently at q meet
ing Of the Associated Engineers Of
Spokane, at which J. L. stannard, chief
engineer Of the Cushman power pro-
ject. gave an illustrated lecture upon
the new Tacoma plant. J. B. Fisken,
president Of the club, stated, following
the lecture, that the Tacoma munich
pal system was the thorn IN the side
Of the private power companies. En-
gineer stannard had told Of the huge
net earnings o. the Tacoma plant and
It's rapid retirement Of its indebted
ness. Mr. Fssken, engineer for hte
Washington Water Power Company,
was quoted il part in the Spokesman
Review as follows.
Some Of Is who may not favor po-
litically operated power plants must
admit that Taconass plant Is the one
50 owned ii the United States operat-
ed nearly like privately owned plant.
And whatever is said about the Ia
coma plant We must admit TO Be true.

plimentary remarks 81 extendine the

COUNCIL WILL
SEEK LARGER QUARTERS

The problem of securing a larger
and more suitable meeting place for
the locals of Aberdeen was again re-
yived by the Central Labor Council
at it's regular meeting last week.
Delegate Winberg said that local la
Dor organizations demonstrated their
willingness ito do" when they built
the Red Cross building during the
war, and that he thought they might
do likewise for themselves. Presi-
dent Braclxinreed expressed doubt as
to whether such an undertaking as
building a labor temple could be sue
cessfully launched at this time.
Delegates Blake, Fisher and How
ard stated that the present meeting
place of the Carpenters and Building
Trades council was inadequate, and
expressed themselves as being in fa-
vor Of securing more suitable quar-
ters.
Delegates Howard, Winberg and
Frazier were appointed to serve in
conjunction with the president of the
Building Trades council in an effort to
obtain more suitable quarters.

Attorney Cross soggested that It
might be Z good plan to call for vol
untears out Of the audience, to repre-
sent each ward in drive for mem
bership, and explained that the sue
cess Of the movement depended large
ly on the efforts Of members. In
compliance with Mr.. Cross's suggea-
ton President Wieland asked for vol
unteers, and the following named
members volunteered their services,
and were appointed as committees IN

sort to a Seattle daily to get certain
data before the people, that he had
paid the sum Of $42 to local news

from the mayor and the city council
men. prior to the election in 1925. He
explained that through the courtesy
Of the Aberdeen Central Labor Coun-
Gil, advocates Of the development Of
the Wynooche project, now had a
medium by which they can get their
messages before the people without
cost.
Mr.. Cross read from Especial
Cushman Power Project" issue of the
Tacoma Ledger several interesting ar
ticles pertaining to the construction Of
the Cushman hydro-electric project
by the city of Tacoma. He pointed
out that the Tacoma Ledger is a pro-
duct of the Perkins press, who were

torial in which they admitted that for
a good manv wears it was the custom
waive aside the fine showing of
the earnings Of the city light depart
ment with the remark that if the
books were kept like those of a priv
ate corporation there would be no such
showing, but citizens of Tacoma are
now convinced that it is profitable
to own their own light and power sys-
tenn. He had another article in which
the Ledger praised the ability and ac-
complishments of Chief Engineer J.
L. Stannatd and assistant chief Engi-
neer B. E. Torpen, saying "Chief En-
gineer J. l.. Stannard Of the Cushman
power project, whose genius is cred
tied with giving Tacoma a bigger
and better development than hoped
for and far within estimates of cost
given the city council in the beginning.

money"
