TACOMANS noted with sat
isfaction today completion
of the city's power inter-tie
with the municipal plant in
Seattle. This comes on the
heels of the tie-up with Bon
neville federal plant. The
two inter-ties should assure
the city of ample power not
only in emergencies, but in
providing continuous loads for
any industry desiring cleo
tricity beyond present local
production capacity.
Although the city utilities
department has enjoyed cor
dial inter-tie relations with
Seattle's plant for years, the
new agreement provides for
exchange of power at rates
far lower than previously.
The two-mills per kilowatt ar
rangement is far different
than the former five-mills
rate. Both cities should bene-
fit from such arrangement.
With completion of the
Coulee federal power project
in the not too distant future.
similar arrangements for in
ter : tie with that system
should assure the city of
power facilities excelled by
no community in America.
With ample power at lowest
possible rates, plus water at
reasonably low rates, Tacoma
will have resource that
should prove extremely at
tractive to new industry.
WELCOME as the addition
of upper st. Helens ave.
will be to the repaving of the
Broadway-St. Helens ave. re-
tail district streets, nothing
should be permitted to stand
in the way of reasonable
speedy award of contract, and
construction before July |.
1t is to be hoped that traf-
fic disruptin1 projects of this
downtown paving type be
cleared before the summer
tourist rush.
