TACOMA'S PRESSING INTEREST.
City Officials Hopeful OF Being Able TO
Meet the Charges.


Tacoma, Jan. -Special-Although the
plan proposed by Mr.. A. r Nicol. OF the
Union Savings Bank and Trust Company,
for financing the city out of it's present
dilemma has failed of acceptance by the
council. the city officials have no fear that
some method OF providing for the interest
payments and current expenses viii be de-
vised. City Attorney Wickersham believes
the city will have ample funds 10 meet tho
Interest OF the water bonds due on June |
next. According 10 the city controllers
books. one-half OF the 1896 tax assessm ent.
amounting TO $4,000. will be delinquent on
June ]. the date on which the big interest
payment falls. 1t IS proposed TO push tax
collections as rapidly as possible. and TO
urge taxpayers 10 pay up more promptly
IN future. II is estimated that 10 per cent
OF the $4,000 will have been paid in bv
June /. and City Attorney Wickersham be-
lieves that II the receipts from licenses
and court fines for February. March. April
and May are applied 10 the interest fund
sufficient money VIII be available to meet
the payment.
Among the Councilmen the chief ohfec-
ton TO accepting Mr.. NicoIs proposition
20 pledge the tax rolls for two years and
validate the $4,000 II per cent outstand-
ing warrants is that with the added inter-
est charge the city would not be much II
any better Off. particularly when there
would be a grave question as 10 the legal
fly Of the contract, and consequently the
ability Of the city government TO enforce
s. None Of the councimen doubt the good
faith Of Mr.. Nicol however. i further oh
lection TO the scheme IS the fear that ff
valuation were submitted at this time II
would fail 20 carry. Some Of the city Of
Metals also doubt the legality OF a large
portion OF the warrants proposed to be
validated.
The finance committee of the council will
meet Monday "a further consider the prob
lem. No reference 10 81 was made at to-
days session OF the body.

COMMISSIONER WHITAKER RE
SIGNED.

Tuesday morning the report was cur
rent on the streets that Mr.. d. ii.
Whitaker, who has filed the position
OF United States Commissioners for
some time. had resigned, The report
was chased but could not be traced to
thes fountain head Finally the re-
porter stepped into Mr.. Nhitaker's
Office, over Naughan's drug store, and
asked that gentleman what there was
in the report He said: Yes, | have
sent in my resignation to take effect
next Monday" He was evidently
putting his house in order This was
written Tuesday but thanks to some
body was lost in transmission.
Mr. Whitaker, when the reporter
left him was i'm a good humor, fully
convinced that in all this controversy,
no personal feeling existed against
him: that the public good solely
prompted the article. Mr.. Whitaker Is
not talking for publication, but he
could "a tale unfold" that would
verify the charges this correspondent
made. and the future holds i'm store
some marvellous revelations. The
slogan should be "let no guilty man
escape,
1t is street talk that there are num-
Der of Barkises for Commissioner
Whitaker's shoes. Let all who seek
such honors understand that the busi-
ness viii be written up Ia future as
promptly as the mayors court
