County pays private light firm instead of city plant
The article charges King County officials Hamilton and Rutherford with steering a contract to Puget Sound Traction Light and Power Co. for county light needs at about $5,000 a year, even though the city plant offers lower rates. It notes the county courthouse hospital and other public buildings receive power from the private company, and cites bidding that cut hospital and poor farm rates when city bids surpassed private terms. It questions why commissioners favor private interests over the public power plant.
