AND IT PAYS TAXES "Best of all, this power industry carries a big share of our tax load ... it paid nearly $900,000 last year. In one county here its taxes would run all the schools, in another it pays enough taxes to maintain half the county roads. 3. EMPLOYS 818 PEOPLE "The power company payroll is one of the stead iest in the country. The company pays good wages and gives its employees a square deal. Why, some of our most active and useful citizens work for Pacific Power & Light Company. 1. SEE THAT SUBSTATION? "Well, those transformers and the power lines on our streets cost more than any building in town. For Pacific Power & Light Company is one of the very largest investors in this territory. In fact the company has put $46,000,000 of capital into the development of the Pacific Northwest. 4. FURNISHES CHEAP POWER "Like every other successful American industry, the power company is constantly reducing the price of its product as it develops new markets and improved methods. Today the average kilowatt-hour used in our homes costs only half what it did 14 years ago, and service is a lot better, too. "We need more of these progressive and self supporting industries like Pacific Power & Light Company to build up our great Northwest." Pacific Power & Light Company Always at Your Service
