Organizational History

PUGET SOUND POWER & LIGHT COMPANY #2250 Guide

On October 19, 1885 the Seattle Electric Company, the earliest pred-

ecessor of the present Puget Sound Power & Light Company, was organized.

It began generating electricity on March 22, 1886. During the next ten

years as many as 30 small electric companies operated within Seattle, but

most were lost to financial insolvency and merger by 1899. During this

same period the Stone & Webster Service Corporation was formed and began to

provide management for small utilities nationwide. In 1899 Stone & Webster

was engaged to study the competitive situation in Seattle. The result was

a consolidation in 1900 which placed most of the power, light and railway

-services in Seattle under the management of the newly organized Seattle

Electric Company and thus established the city's first unified electric

system. The increasing electrical demands of the following decade necessi-

tated further mergers among the more than 50 separate utilities in the

Puget Sound region, from which emerged five major operating companies.

On July 8, 1912 Puget Sound Traction, Light & Power came into existence

and was incorporated in the State of Massachusetts, under the management

of Stone & Webster. The properties purchased and consolidated to form Puget

Sound Traction, Light & Power included those of the five major power compa-,

nies in the region: The Seattle Electric Company, Seattle-Tacoma Power

Company, Pacific Coast Power Company, Puget Sound Power Company, and Whatcom

County Railroad & Light Company. The connection of these separate facilities

and territories was the beginning of the first r_egional power service in

Western Washington.

Jacob Furth, Seattle banker, railway organizer and president of Seattle

Electric Company served as president of the company until his death in 1914.

2

He was succeeded by A. W. Leonard, who directed the company until 1931,

when it became a subsidiary of Engineers Public Service Company. From

1931 until 1959 PSP&L was led by Frank McLaughlin.

The company's name was changed to Puget Sound Power & Light in 1920

following the sale of the Seattle street railway system to the City. During

the decade of the 1920's the company acquired additional power companies

and expanded to serve 19 counties. Two major companies acquired in 1924

were the North Coast Power Company in southwest Washington and Washington

Coast Utilities in central and western Washington. In the 18 years following

its incorporation, PSP&L absorbed 128 separate companies.

Puget also expanded its rail service during the early 1920's. A stage

line was developed, which by 1924 furnished most of the interurban railway

service in the Puget Sound region. The company also operated the street

railway sys.terns in Bellingham, Everett, Tacoma, Olympia, Chehalis, Centralia

and Vancouver, Washington. With the demise of electric transportation,

however, Puget decided to concentrate on the sale of electricity and in 1947

sold its subsidiary, North. Coast Transportation Company, to the Greyhound

Corporation.

The 1930's marked the turning point in the company's expansion. In

1930 the State Legislature passed a Public Utility District law which granted

PUD's the power to condemn privately owned electric property. For the next

20 years PSP&L was continually involved in litigation with PUD's and was

forced to sell much of its distribution system. The first effective condem-

nation suit was that of Clallam County in 1944. In 1948 the company sold

properties in Cowlitz, Mason, Chelan, Grant, Douglas, Lewis, Pacific and

Grays Harbor Counties. Its large territory in Snohomish County was sold in

1949, and in 1951 its Seattle properties were sold to City Light. In the

early 1950 1 s Puget considered a plan to sell its remaining properties to the

3

combined PUD's and in 1953 resisted a merger with Washington Water Power

Company.

The 1940's produced additional legal setbacks for PSP&L. In 1940

Federal Power Connnission hearings investigated the political expenditures

of five power companies, including PSP&L. The hearings determined that the

utilities, during the period 1935-40, had spent large sums of money to

further their political interests and influence public opinion while

charging some of these expenses to operating costs.

The 1935 Public Utility Holding Act forced the breakup of large utility

holding companies such as Engineers Public Service Company. PSP&L was forced

to reorganize and recapitalize and in 1943 severed its connection with

Engineers Public Service Company. In 1960 Puget reincorporated in Washington

State.

Notes on Source of Records

Records in Accession #2250 were stored in a Bellingham building owned

by PSP&L when the University acquired them in 1974. At that time University

archivists with the assistance of C.B. Schoeggl, former Secretary of the

Company, screened out numerous financial records before the remaining

records were moved to Seattle. At about the same time Western Washington

University, Center for Pacific Northwest Studies, acquired from PSP&L

records of predecessor companies involved primarily in interurban and street

railways. A few of these firms also handled light and power operations.

An inventory to these PSP&L records at WWU is available in the UW Manuscripts

Section.

Notes on Arrangement

The main body of the accession are the records of Puget Sound Power &

Light from 1920-1953. Records of Puget Sound Traction, Light & Power, 1912-

1920, have been separated and treated as a subgroup and Seattle Electric

Company has been sub grouped as a predeces:sor company. Because the records

of these three companies were originally interfiled, they are organized

similarly. For instance, in each of the three there is a series, GENERAL

CORRESPONDENCE, re plant (or operations), which includes correspondence with

suppliers, associations, unions·, insurers and others,. about operations~

INTEROFFICE CORRESPONDENCE for PSP&L AND PSTLP included correspondence with , Dn e. s erie.s )' II•/ T & R. DF Fie le t.o~f{ es ptJ ;// /) £lVC G" tu; ft1 Sir) Fi -e --/ /,t}-(_b s1e.,~ C 0,-1 tt':-n,1 t.5 7}!Y'o::,r,\

s.ame divisions are represented in REPORTS.

Most original foldering and folder headings have been retained.

Likewise, subject series used by PSP&L have been retained; most include

correspondence, In addition, one large SUBJECT SERIES, Condemnation Cases

(boxes 51-83), has been expanded to include not only individual condemnation

cases brought against Puget by th.e PUD's but related series as well. The

FPC hearings of 1940 investigated not only PSP&L's political expenditures

but also its expenses in contesting the Whatcom County PUD condemnation

suit, These hearings, therefore, were included in the SUBJECT SERIES

Condemnation Cases, Also included are records relating to the proceedings

of the Securities & Exchange Connnission in 1941-43 in regard to Puget's

recapitalization plans. Although thes.e proceedings were not strictly

related to the local condemnation cases, they were grouped together because

both dealt with divestitute of PSP&L operating companies and assets. Another

large SUBJECT SERIES, Sale of Seattle Metropolitan Area, (boxes 91-100)

concerns the negotiations between Puget and City Light which culminated in

the sale of Puget's Seattle properties to City Light in 1951.

The Subgroups - PREDECESSOR COMPANIES include records of four of the

five companies which merged July 8, 1912 to form PSTLP: Seattle Electric,

Seattle-Tacoma Power, Pacific Coast Power, and Puget Sound Power.

Included also is a Stone & Webster subgroup, Columbia Improvement Company.

The engineering section of Stone & Webster worked through Columbia Improvement

Company on hydro construction in the Puyallup and Tacoma area. ~ed ~Also ivi eluded

Frank McLaughlin, for additional material concerning the City Light rivalry

and sale, proposed sale of PSP&L properties to the PUD's ca. 1953, and

proposed merger with Washington Water Power Company.

Discarded Records

As mentioned previously many financial records were not acquired along

with the rest of the records in 1974 .. During processing in 1981 and 1982

certain parts of the accession were selectively sampled. The Securities

Company subgroup was reduced by approximately two-thirds. Only a sample of

correspondence with stockholders was retained. Invoices of stock transactions

and similar records were also discarded. For PSP&L and major predecessor

companies correspondence about operations, mainly with suppliers, was

sampled. The weeded correspondence was discarded and a very small volurae

reclaimed by the company.

Also during processing other records were appraised for their research

value. Many reports, appraisals, and case files were found to be duplicates

and were set aside for discard. Many legal documents, including land and

building leases, clippings, and pole permit maps were also set aside.

Company officials reviewed these records and reclaimed 38 cartons, mainly

abstracts and other land records. They authorized the destruction of the

remaining records proposed for destruction. A brief list of these is

available. Altogether the Manuscripts Section retained only about half of

the volume transferred in 1974.
