100000. Today, twenty years later,
the plant is valued at 430.000.000 and
supplies light and power to nearly

gross revenue amounted to $780,

During the twenty years Of service

at great saving to the public.
It may be Of interest to compare the
figures for 1925 with the same fig

and the depreciation charges for the

than the preceding year, due to the
fact that the Skagit project was
