City Engineer A H Dimock reports to the council finance committee that roughly $5,500,000 additional funds are required to complete the Skagit river hydroelectric development, bringing total costs to about $11,000,000.

Dimock outlines cost basis, expected power output, and projected savings to the municipal light department through reduced rates and expanded capacity by 1924.
