Puget Electric case heard by state railroad commission
The state railroad commission opened hearings on whether Puget Electric is earning a fair return on its investment and if patrons pay a fair price. Vaughn Tanner argues high fares force residents to abandon homes, while Furth’s lawyers contest the service value. Witnesses like H. Van Asselt, W. Jennings, and W. R. Crawford testified on right of way costs as hearings move to Tacoma and Olympia.
