Bryan urges public utility purchase at fair price
Former Congressman J. W. Bryan argues against paying $15,000,000 for a traction system noting price bias in deals. He warns juries may assess higher values and says it’s better to bond longer for ownership than keep paying Boston owners. He claims the system would be worth $6,000,000 to Seattle and state residents by freeing them from the Seattle Electric lobby.
