Seattle's City Light Forging Ahead

which erected the first municipal power plant in
United States by a 512 to vote in 1902
Seattle's City Light, now the sole dispenser
of electric power in the city and surrounding area,
has done what the private power company tried
ever SO hard, but failed to do. With multi
million dollar hydro-electric development program
to its credit, City Light now offers the lowest
light rates of large cities in u S. outside Tacoma.
It's POI, 900 customers consume about three times
as much electrical energy as the national average
at less than half the cost Q21 cents per kowatt
hour) of the average national rate. Contrast this
with Seattle's food-living cost index, one Of the
highest in the country.

There's more than one reason
why this section of the country is
sometimes called Little Scandin-

anchored in the Sound last year,

Sweden and Denmark with figures
of 50, 25 and 10 respectively. Fig

calling upon Federal agencies and

that Americans of all cultural and

The most significant resolution
adopted by the convention was one
in which both the Republican and

parties for their stand on educa.

children whenever their parents

that experimentation through III
ture action may make these pro
visions really meaningful for GU

absenteeism on the part of the
members. Inability to keep their
forces in Washington and on the

holes with the same amount of

Is with spade or shovel.
One of the principal advantages
Evening star., 1952-08-09
By Douglas Tuomey

Practically every one living in
the country or suburbs has oc-
casion to dig holes now and then
for gateposts, lampposts, fences or
shrubbery.
There are two chief ways of
doing this. One Is to use a spade,
which is more or less back-break-
ling. And the other is to use a post
hole digger.
Not many people own one OF
these tools, but practically every
farmer or professional gardener
owns one which they are usually
glad to lend to a neighbor. Or you
can rent one for about Is cents a
day. Actually. it's a splendid in
lvestment if you have much work
Ito do.
A posthole digger is quite like a
large-sized scissors. having two
long handles so that it will reach
down into the average hole, and
having two long cuplike points
Instead of sharp blades. It is used
by spreading the handles so that
the cups open. dripping it into the
hole and then bringing the handles
together so that they clamp on
good shovelful of the earth.
This is then dumped aside and
the operation repeated. You do
not have to bend over when using
this tool, so you can dig SO
