FINE SERVICE RECORD OF LO
CAL PLANT EXCELLED
BY FIRST CITY
"Twice in the same place"
might be a good title for the
following article for two times
now has the local challenge of
the Seward Light & Power Co.,
with respect to its service record,
been topped. And for these two
"Lops” to the dust, so to speak,
the local concern has had to
pass over boxes of good cigars;
not El de la Ropes, by a long
shot for it seems that the Cordo
va and Ketchikan boys smoke
only the best; which is proper.
In a letter addressed to S. M.
Graff, president and General
Manager of the Seward Light,
Power Co., The Citizens Light,
Power & Water Company, Ket
chikan, Alaska the following is
quoted:
‘Dear Mr. Graff: How come,
Mr. Graff, that your sights are
so poor? Adjust them consider
ably for a finer shot at the mark
that we will set up and in the
meantime, send us the cigars.
One hundred if you please, and
we smoke ‘Roitan Individuates.’
“Our record, which is a daily
power house log, shows interrup
tions as follows:
1929—none
1928—none
1927—none
1926—two
1925—none
1924—two
"A total of four times in six
years. We could make the record
still more impressive by going
back further, but believe the
above will be sufficient to cop
the prize.
"Fuither, the total elapsed
time for all four of the shut
downs was only two hour# and
27 minutes, and in three of the
cases, the trouble was due to
bad fires endangering the sys
tem, and none of these cases
were for more than 27 minutes
duration.
“The date of our last interrup
tion was August 29, 1926, for one
hour and 13 minutes, and was
while we were making alter
ations in the distribution system
and primary feeders.
"Sincerely hope, Mr. Graff,
that this will not let you down
too hard, but we are just feeling
a little bit like doing some crow
ing on our own account. We will
expect the cigars right soon.”
