Pole Line Work Delayed Ushering in October Power Delay
Electricity from Cedar River plant cannot reach the city before October 1 as City Engineer Thomson notes. Delays stem from the pole line right of way condemnation suit and a hillside propping problem near Seventh and Yester, with juries not likely before September. The Snoqualmie Falls & White River Power Co faces franchise space issues. Seattle Electric and other pole owners resist permits reserving space for city wires.
