LESS THAN A MILLION
The City's Bonded Debt Esti-
mated at $956,OOO.
FOR WATER WORKS AND SEWERS.
street, Police and Fire Departments Get
None Of the Money-How it
WIN be Divided.

The common council ct tonight's meet
ing viii consider estimates for the pro-
posed bonded indebtedness, which viii be
submitted by the committees on fire and
water and sewers and drainage. It's now
quite probable that the amount OF
the city's Indebtedness viii fall short
of 81 .oO0, 0C0. instead of being in the neigh
bOrhood of 81 800, 600. as Was estimated by
the council some time ago. The Wilson
bill, under which the bonds are to be is
sued, only provides for raising funds for
water and sewerage purposes, and this &C.
counts for the great reduction in the amount
of the proposed bonded indebtedness. The
fire. police and street departments which
under the original plan were to be literally
treated in the issuance of bonds, Will have
to depend upon direct taxation for bonds
until such time as new law allowing
bonds to be issued for them can be passed.
The committee on sewers and drainage
has estimated that $4,000 will be required
to do the work 1t has mapped out. and
which is commonly known as the Twichell
system. This amount will be used in con-
structing mains and making the general
features OF the system. Under the new
charter the cost of sewers will probably be
assessed to districts benefited by their
construction, as is now done in the matter
Of street Improvements.
The fire and W alter committee has planned
where it can place $Si6 900. OF this $3.50.
900 will be used III paying for the Spring
Hill water plant which has already been
purchased by the city. For extending the
water system $425.0o0 will be asked. OF
this amount about $l0o, 900 will be used in
increasing the capacity OF the pumping
station at Lake Washington and
laying the main leading therefrom, and
the balance for constructing the
distributing system and reservoirs in the
city. For building floating and stationary
pumping stations and . system Of mains
to be used in connection Herewith, $70.-
600 is asked. This last proposition in
clddes the fireboat, which will practically
be a part of the water system, as 1t will be
used in forcing salt water through mains
laid in the lower part of the city for fire
purposes.
The total amount for which bonds will
be issued. according to the present sched-
ule, is $a56, 200. This may possibly be in
creased. An ordinance providing for the
calling of a special election on the question
OF bonded Indebtedness will probably be
submitted to the council tonight.

The Northern Pacific has been endeavor-
ing to get hold of the property for several
months, Mr. Yesler says. Last evening
Mr.. ID. b. Jackson manager of the Puget
Sound and Alaska Steamship Company,
approached him and asked him TO put
price on H. Mr. Ye-aer told him he was
not anxious to sell. bat said If his company
meant business he would sell for $se.0o

Pacific, met Mr. Yesier Tuesday, and asked
him If he WAS ready TO sell ON the
terms mentioned with Mr.. Jackson few
months previous. Mr.. Yesier answered IN
the affirmative and Mr. Mitchell fele-
graphed the result OF this interview to the
Northern Pacific officials at ST. Paul. Mr..
Yesier has not heard from Mr.. Mitchell.
but is confident that the company intend
to purchase his property. He saws, how
ever, that he is not particular about the

price to be paid Is $200.o0o.
Mr.. Yesler understands that the property
will be used. If purchased. by the Puget

which Is owned by the Northern Pacific.
The company does a large amount Of ship

wharfage facilities Mr.. Yesler says he
was informed by the Northern Pacific off,
eials several months ago. that q portion of
the property. II they got control OF it,
would be used for railway depot purposes,
possibly for union depot.
1t is rumored that the Northern Pacific
has also secured an option on the Colman
water front property.
