Seattle Electrics Face Uniform Lighting Rate Question
Brady and Gay filed with the city clerk a request to set a uniform electric lighting rate in Seattle. The city council will likely adjourn without action but may set the rate next Monday. The municipal plant could undercut private providers and charge 10 cents per kilowatt hour for the first ten kilowatt hours and 2 cents for additional usage. Beattie Electric quotes 12 cents for the first 60 hours and 4 cents thereafter, while Seattle Tacoma Power is rumored to offer a lower hidden rate. Manufacturing rates have fallen due to competition.
