They in clude the city-owned systems of Seattle, and Tacoma and about nine public utility dis tricts. One discovery has spurred the tedious checking of back purchase orders. One Wash ington PUD bought a power transformer in July, 1957, for $142,000. The same piece of equipment, when bought in April, 1880, after the indict ments had been returned in the Philadelphia case against tre equipment firms, had dropped to $82,000, Price Had Been Fixed The conclusion being drawn concerning this case is that the price had been fixed at the higher figure by under standings that competitors would not undercut it with more realistic prices.
