W.W.P. PURCHASES BIG BEND SYSTEM
Includes Reardan, Davenport, Sprague, Ritzville and Lind Plants
Walter C. Sivyer, president of the Big Bend Light & Power company, yesterday announced the sale of the franchises and distributing systems of the company, in the Big Bend country, to the Washington Water Power company. This consists of the systems at Reardan, Davenport, Harrington, Ritzville, Sprague and Lind. The sale, which has been agreed to by the directors, is subject to the confirmation of the stockholders, and delivery is to be made to the Washington Water Power company January 1.
Organized Six Years Ago.
The Big Bend Light & Power company was organized about six years ago by Walter C. Sivyer, H. L. Bleecker and Eugene Enloe. Mr. Bleecker later disposed of his interests. The present officers of the company are: Mr. Sivyer, president; Charles McDougall, secretary, and Eugene Enloe, general manager.
These lines will add to the lines of the Washington Water Power company, which purchased, on July 1, the business of the Idaho-Washington Light & Power company, with head- quarters in Moscow. This company also controlled the St. Maries Light & Power company and the Palouse Light & Power company.
