Thit'i the dramatic record of Portland's Swan Island; And it's story linked with PGE'i alert, foresighted construction of facilities to dtliim tht piwtr. Twenty years igo progressive-minded Port of Portland Commission laid plani for developing Swan Island then a brush-covered, swampy eyesore into an industrial center. Its location near tht center of Portland, with acccig to deep water and rail transportation, made it a "natural" for a factory center, But then the era of developing airports arrived,; and tht Port Commission decided that Swan Island could best lervt Immediately as i hob of air transport. At that time, the Willamette River's main. channel swung east of the island. The Port deepened the west channel, making it the main artery, end need the river-bottom materia! to build up the Island. ' PGE built a line that carried the first electric service to Swan Island. In succeed ing years, PGE built larger and larger lines, and Installed the necessary transformer! and other equipment 1 PRESENT: Builder of , largest commercial ships on Pacific Coast. When the Kaiser interests began planning the construction of a great shipyard an Swan Island, PGE jumped into action and met every requirement ahead of schedule; PGE delivered all of the power for building the Swan Island shipyard 1 1 1 and ii now delivering all of the power for building giant tankers which have almost double the capacity of the famous Liberty Ships, These are the largest commercial hips built on the Pacific Coasti Swan Island, and scores of other war Industries In this area, are tint reaping the benefits of PGE's half-century of pioneering. For more than 50 years, PGE has demonstrated Its faith in the future of this region 1 1 1 by developing five waterpower plants, a great steam plant, and by building a network of lines throughout a 2900-square-mile territory, In the past four years, tha'farsighted PGE management 'has spent 4V4 million dollars to enlarge PGE's capacity for serving scores of vital war industries and other Industries. Part of this huge expansion enables PGB to deliver the many thousands of horsepower required 24 hours a day by the Swan Island shipyard of the Raiser Compsny, Inb 11F DELIVEniXfG 4 MILLION CO&SBPOUEB FUTURE: An industrial center served by PGE's lines. After victory ti won,' perhaps Swan Island will continue to make ships. Or, perhaps airplanes; Or any number of other products. With commendable foresight, the Kaiser Interests have built this shipyard so that it is quickly and easily convertible to manufacturing processes. Whatever the plana after victory, tha facilities that PGE built up will help give Swan Island industry a head start In serving post-war markets. PGE's record of providing service ahead of schedule on Swan Island ii just another example of how jrtt titlerprht ii miasiiring up In tht wat program; Today PGE Is delivering a quarter-million horsepower to wat industries and other users throughout a 2300-sqtiare-mile area stretching from St, Helens to Salemi W are delivering i7 more power than three years ego, And we are providing this power at rates that are among the very lowest In all America actually lower than the rates of many taxpayer-subsidized utilities, The average family pays less for electricity In Portland than in any other city of Pnrtlsnd'l sim on the PacirU Coast And, compared with tj4 tha average PGE residential customer gets ii snore electricity per dollar!
