CITY UTILITY SHOWS PROFIT • OF $4,000,000 And Tacoma Has Cheapest Light and Power in Unted States. Time* Washinnion Bureau. New York Avenue. WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.—If you enjoy pacing taxes this story will boro you. It comes from United v tates Senator C. C. Dill of the State 02 Washington, where people already ite/ve don© many of the things the OSt of the country Is timorously considering—have done them and are viewing the results with pleased satisfaction. The city of Tacoma, Wash., owns a. hydro-electric plant and distributing system. In 1925 its net profit was one million dollars! Helped in War The light department paid SBO,OOO into the city’s general fund as a gift to the taxpayers in 1925. In addition it paid part of the cost of four large city departments. It supplied current for street lighting at half Stop Baby’s Cough! Don't let your child suffer. Give it ■ tes■pocciful of soothing Lauber's Am-o-lo* Baby Cough Syrup and relief will soon fsllow.

cost of actual production, saving the taxpayers a considerable sum. During the war the city’s light fund furnished $360,000 to build a municipal railway needed in the emergency to serve war-time shipyards. And the people of Tacoma pay less for electric light and power than any other people In the world except those of Ontario, Canada! A small home in Tacoma pays 6 cents a kilowatt hour for the first twenty hours of service. Any additional consumption costs 1-rent per kilowatt hour. A small home in Tacoma uses about 40 kilowatt hours a month and pays $1.20. Compare your own last month’s bill. What’s more the consumer may buy electricity to heat his home for one-half cent per kilowatt hour. As a result many Tacoma homes are being built without chimneys. There is no further use for gas and coal. Tells How Senator Hill tells how all this has been accomplished. "First the city acquired a nmnici pal distributing system. Next, In i 1910, the city began work on its own generating plant. This was completed two years later at a cost of $2,354,984. Sale of utility bonds financed the project, and these were amortized from earnings until the entire system was free from debt. "Then the city voted $4,000,000 more in “bonds to build a great dam which will store water and insure steady operation of the power plant in wet and dry seasons alike. Two new generating units will also be built with the money, and when they are completed in the near future the cost of power in Tacoma will drop still lower. "These new bonds will be retired in fourteen years. "Tacoma's wonderful power system has not cost \he tax payers one cent. Its earnings have carried all its expenses and retired its capital debt, and the low light and power rate has saved the people of Tacoma millions of dollars. Worth $14,000,000 "Judged by private standards of value, the plant, without the new development, is worth at least $14,000,000. My figures come from Homer T. Bone, general counsel of the port of Tacoma. “Bone has shown, too, that if the city of Tacoma were paying a dividend of 8 per cent on the actual amount of money invested in the plant, as a private company would do, light rates would have to be increased 38 per cent. "The city, however, has amortized the capital building debt, and! there remains no fixed obligation except operating expenses and depreciation and maintenance costs. The result Is the lowest- rate in the United States and an enormous net profit.”

ENTRY IN COURT MAY BE SLOWER BY BARGAINING Other Nations May Demand Concessions on Tariff and Emigration. Bu Time# Sm et a l GENEVA, Feb. 11.—Several members of the world court are prepared to bargain for emigration and tariff concessions from the United States In exchange for ratification of the Senate’s reservations to the court protocol. Representatives of the various world court members accredited to the league estimate that from six months to more than a year would be required for their governments to determine the aeceptibility of the American reservations. Each of the forty-eight court members would refer the reservations to a commission of jurists who would pass upon their jurisidicial significance after considerable study. See Stalemate It also is certain that various governments which have questions such as emigration and tariff matters under discussion with the United States would endeavor to utilize acceptance of the reservations as a diplomatic exchange for concessions from the United States. Such procedure would entail lengthy negotiations which might defer America’s participation in the court for several years. Hague May 4ft For the purpose of avoiding a lengthy stalemate, It is believed that some member of the league will bring the matter before the league

council with a suggestion that the Hague Court provide an advisory opinion regarding the acceptability of the American reservations. If the court should render an opinion that the reservations were acceptable to all members of the league, It then would be possible for each of the court members to use the court’s decision as the its separate reply to Frank B. Ivellogg. the American secretary of State. With the Hague Court’s approval stamped on the reservations, their bargaining value would be nil.
