Davisson Compares Electric
Rates of Tacoma, Portland

How Tacoma's domestic power
rates compare with Portland's is
shown in the current issue of
Bonneville Power News" in re-
printing a letter sent by Commits
sioner DAWSON Of Tacoma TO
George NJ. Clevenger.
Clevenger. II appeared. had sent
his Portland bills to Tacoma with
request for comparison, and here
is Davisson's reply:
"On Tacoman's residential rate
Al. 2es kilowatt hours would cost
S3.6s monthly. or $44.i6 annually.
Your Portland billing was s6.e3
monthly, or $s3.16 annually. This
amounts to saving Of $50 per
year. In Tacoma, for S6.93 month
" you could obtain $40 kilowatt
hours, or two and three-fourths
times as much electricity as you
are now receiving in Portland.
1T Is quite difficult to state
what appliances could be operated
on the extra current supplied under
the Tacoma rate. Usage of the
various appliances varies with the
individual and so far as we know
there is no satisfactory standard
or 'yardstick' by which such COM
parsons can be accurately made
1t is quite safe to say that your
present appliances could be oper-

ed Mr.. Green to instruct his
conferees to take advantage of
this meeting to make concrete
the declarations of the AFL on
the color line in the past. This
would mean that no union in the

ORDINANE FOR EMPLOY
ING CITY MANAGER FOR
FOR WEIGH PASSES

Welch soon may have q city
manager. ....
Legal right to employ such an
official was given Wednesday
evening when lie Council of
that city voted 5 10 l to adopt
an ordinance introduced by
Councilman-a-large S. NJ. Bur-
CESS. $500.
The city manager ordinance,
which for the past two weeks
has been a controversial subject,
permits the employment of an
official to have complete control
over all city departments, the
collection Of revenue and the
disbursement of funds.
Passage of the ordinance Wed
nesday night came only after a
lengthy discussion with the
brunt of the OPPOSITION being
led by Mayor Blakely. Mayor
Blakely cast the lone dissenting
vote. Vote on the ordinance came
afteer a motion by Councilman
Carter, who previously has voic-
ed his opinion Of the subject,
saying he was strongly in favor
of employment of a city manag-
er. Mr.. Carter suggested that
council pass an ordinance and
consider the employment of such
an official. Financial difficulties
of the city led to this move.
