Seattleis City Light Forging Ahead
“Paul Bunyan Project” Under Way
In America, the day will come when public
ownership of public utilities will become as in
evitable as it becomes necessary. If that may seem
doubtful, the object lesson is amply provided by
Seattle, “The Youngest Large City In The World,”
which erected the first municipal power plant in
United States by a 5%) to 1 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 a 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.
Its 207,000 customers consume about three times
as much electrical energy as the national average
at less than half the cost (1.21 cents per kilowatt
hour) of the average national rate. Contrast this
with Seattle‘s food-living cost index. one of the
highest in the country.
Possessing more electric ranges than any other
city in U. S. Seattleites, under
City Light, have annually made
savings at a total amount greater
than the entire city tax bill. The
estimated annual revenue for1951
is $23,000,000. says Joe De Leon.
