Push work on Skagit urged to ensure cheap power
C F Uhden, engineer in charge of Seattle's municipal power, urged citizens to back the Skagit river project. He argued Seattle must develop power ahead of industrial needs and keep ready supplies, noting Western Washington lacks excess power. The plan includes a 240 ft dam, a 4 mile lake, two 10,200 ft tunnels, and a six unit 37,500 HP station, plus a new 8,000 HP unit at Newhalem. The railroad link to Rockport will run about 26 miles at an estimated cost of 1.2159 million dollars.
