Tn the early lU30's a political
movement whose aim was to pro-
vide good electrical service at the
lowest possible cost for people liv-
ing in "rural areas gainet strong
public mapport in the State of
Washington. The 1931 state legis-
lature passed the Enabling Act
which gave the voters of the coun-
ties the right to choose between
private power oz" power provided
by public utility districts.
THE VOTIER of Mason county i
chose public power in the 1934
general election and at the present
time there are 23 operating public
utility districts in the state.
The force behind the public pow-
er movement in the state of Wash-
ington and throughout the rest of
the nation originated largely in
the rural areas. Prior to the
1930's, the rates charged to rural
residents were considerably high-
er than for those living in the
cities. The philosophy of the pow-
er public power 'roups was that
people living in rural areas should
not;have to pay higher rates for
electricity than thcse living in the
cities. P.U.D.s have the same rates
for everyone in the district wheth-
er he or she lives on a farm or in
the cities. Under the private pow-
er companies, wbo distributed
power to the rural areas before
the establishment of P.U.D.s, the
rates varied and sn some cases

Baking "cookies" for better roads
make lane markers eaeF'.t;o:gee'..., roads which
mc smooth, quiet and comfortable.
Asphalt roads are ready for use within hours
after laying . . . cost less to maintain and can be
even stronger and better after years of service.
By such continuing research that brings you better
proddcts at lower cost, the people at Standard
are planning akead to serve you better.
Standard's asphalt products are made and sold by
American Bitumuls & Asphalt Company, a wholly-
owned subsidiary.
,'Cookies" orisphalt paving are baked and
frozen in our laboratories, so we can measure how
highways wear in all types of weather.
The man is William H. Ellis, one of Standard's
scientists who conduct many such tests to improve
highway materials and construction methods. We
actually build roads, subject them to crushing
pressure, try ou t many paving mixes, work closely
with highway engineers.
Our work benefits you both as a motorist ands
taxpayer. Asphalt costs less than any other pave-
ment.., three miles of highway for the cost of two.
You also get roads that resist skids, cut down glare,
there were as many as four or five
different ratcs aec(n'(ling to the lo-
cation of the person being served.
The more sparsely populated an
area was the higher the rate for
electrical service because of tile
higher cost of l)roviding electrici-
ty. This higher cost of i)ower for
llSe ill rlll'al al'eas \\;vas I1 drawback
to the economic dewqppment of :
InaIly of the sIllaller colnnltlnities
who had to pay a l)r*mium price
for this service.
SINCE TlllE adoption of public
power in 23 of the state's doun-
ties, the state of Washington bas
tim nation's lowest power rates.
tThis of course ires been an lint)of
tant factor in tile industrial devel-
opment of Washington. A compar-
ison between tile staten of Oregon
and Vasllington throws consider-
able right on tile costs of public
power in relationsllip to private
power. Back in 1935, the state of
Oz'egon led the nation with the
lowest power rate of $6.64 fax 250
kih)watt hours of electricity. TIe
state of Washington was second
'with a rate of $6.74 fo'l' the same
amount of electricity. Since that
time Washington has moved int
to
first place and in 195.1 had a trite
of $4.63 for 250 ,kilowatt hours
whih- Oregon had slipped into
thitxl place with a rate of $5.36.
Although both Oregon and Vasll-
ington have the same access to
cheap federal power aad both are
alike in their economy Washing-
ton llaS had a strong growth in
the public power field while Ore-
gon is served largely by private.
power companies. The advocates
of public power also feel that the.
competition of public power with
private power has forced the pri-
vate companies to reduce their
rates and to provide better sewice
in order to meet this competition.
! Mason county P.U.D..district
three embraces all of Mason coun-
ty except the Hoodsport area
which is served by P.U.D. one. A
board of three P.U.D. commis-
sioners are elected by the voters
and they are the executive and
policy making body of the district.
A P.U.D. Manager is appointed by
the board and he acts as an .axl,
visor to the commissioners and as
the chief administrative officer of
the district. ' " '
At the present time the board
of commissioners of P.U.D. three
as composed of Jack A. Cole, pres-
ident, Edwin Taylor, vice-president
and Tom W. Webb, secretary: Tay-
lor recently was named to replace
Earl Carr who passed away short-
ly after his re-electidn last lovem-'
bar. Mr. Cart was considered one
of the foremost authorities on pub-
lic power in the state. The man-
ager of the district is Claude M.
Danielson. He has been in the pow-
er business with both private and
public orzatlons silica heg.ld'
tared from engineering lcnom
back in 1915. He has been with
i this district since January of 1943
after serving here in a similar ca-
pacity with the West Coast Power
Company who served this area
before the district was in opera-
tion.
A P.U.D. CAN raise money in
two ways. One is to issue revenue:
bonds and the other is to levy a
tax on propegty. The law allows a
P.U.D. the right to levy a 4 mill
tax. P.U.D. three however does not
levy a tax and raises needed funds
by issuing revenue bonds. At the
present time the district has about
$750,000 in bonds outstanding.
P.U.D. three like most other dis-
tricts and private power com-
panies does not produce power but
buys it from the federal govern-
meat at a wholesale price and
then transmits it to thd individual
user at a retail price.
When the Rayonier mill closed
down in 1957, the district lost a
customer of considerable import-
once and for the first time since
the district was established a de-
cline in total sale of electrical en-
ergy took place, Although the
closure of Rayonier was deeply
felt, the general trend of growth
and power consumption in the
county has maintained a steady
increase. Back in 1943, the district
served only 2543 customers and in
1949 it jumped to 4,611. Since 1949
the increase *in customers and in
the use of power have been going
nvward. Figures released by the
district show the number of cus-
tomers for the following years;
1950, 4,707, 1951, 4884, 1952, 5002,
19r2, 5,183. 191, 5.357. 1955, 5,593,
1956, 5.782, 1957. 5.875 and in 1958,
6,217. This increase in customers
is also coupled with a considerably
high use of electrical energy per
customer. Back in 1949, the dis-
trict's 4,611 customers used 25,-
769,617 kilowatt hours while in
1958 the district's 6,217 customers
used 49,004,173 kilowatt hours.
These figures show that while the
number of customers have increas-
ed about 34%, the amount of elec-
trical energy consumed has in-
creased almost 100.
TH|S IS a sound indication that
the county is experiencing steady,
healthy growth and that this
growth partially depends on a
good supply of electrical power at
moderate prices.
There are some who might ob-
ject to paying electrical rates on
a flat coverage basis because they
feel that the people in the city
should not be expected to help de-
fray the cost of providing a simi-
lar service to the people in the
rural aneas when tt costs more
!money to supply this service in the
less populated areas. Those per-
sons should stop to realize that the
economic well being of those Who
live in cities is tied up with the
general economic picture and that
in this day and age no one group
is operating completely indepen-
dent of the rest of society.
Except for the lumber industry,
Mason county's best hope for eco-
nomic progress lies in the devel-
opment of its waterfront areas
and a good system of electrical
service is important in attracting
new people to Mason county.

ton is a good one and generally
