OPPOSES PROPOSED
POWER PROJECT

Editor The Times: 7 oppose
any present increase OF Tacoma
power production in the follow
ing points:
l. That all present needs for
Tacoma and its development are
covered by Bonneville and Cou-
lee power.
?. That material needed for
the proposed power develop
ment must be taken from de-
Tense industries and our city
would look badly as to patriot
ism in attempting TO divert any
thing from the emergency Of
national preparedness.
3. That priorities on machin-
cry are becoming increasingly
necessary and no board could
approve TseomA's power in
crease as essential.
4. That bonds having been is
sued and machinery not being
Forthcoming. the bond interest
would eat from the public trough
10 the detriment Of Tacoma oiti-
zens.
5. That the increase Of power
consumption viii make It pos
sihle for the Bonneville Power
authority to greatly reduce its
present rate Of $3.50 per kilo-
watt year. hence making II
much more difficult for Tacoma
TO justify increased develop
ment. This increase in rates cam
not take place until 1912. and
the heads Of Bonneville are too
keen in business experience to
make promises now.
s. That the development OF
Tacoma power viii be a grand
thing after the hysteris Of war
preparation il over and We need
Jobs for many thousands OF men
who viii again be laid off.
As I have been in Washing
ton. D c. for six months ! am
convinced that our military situ-
alton Is becoming more acute.
and that our production and
economic balance viii b more
rigidiy supervised from the Of
flee OF production management.
