a decided stride toward success in its suit
on the judgment against G Il. Wright and
others in the "million-dollar suit accord
ing 10 the answer filed by Mr.. Wright In
the Federal court today. The chief point
OF vantage illustrated in the reply Is that
c. T. Wright no longer attempts 10 force
the city to bring the action in Phladel-
phia the admission showing that Wright
will make an appearance here. This an
swer embodies the first admission Of this
nature made by the defendants. and is
looked upon as decidedly favorable in
dcaticn for the city.
In his answer Mr.. Wright admits that
he had In his possession $4,000 worth of
bonds or the Tacoma Gas and Electric
Light Company. alleging that he was
given these bonds in security for 500 coo
due him from the Tacoma Light and
Water Company. and that they belong TO
The latter company. As TO the general
Indebtedness he admits that il Ia true he
received sl7500.o through the sale Of the
plant 10 the city but that he paid out

bonds OF the Tacoma Light and Water
Company He therefore Gin the answer)

the City bridges I'm Repair.

Special Dispatch 10 the Post-Intelligencer.
TACOMA. Feb 5.-The board OF county
commissioners today said they would not
and could not help the city to take care
of its bridges. The proposed move toward
cutting of the expense OF further repairs
ard improvements TO streets sewers and
bridges. owing 10 q lack Of funds. led to
a statement that perhaps the city could
get assistance from the county In the
matter of caring for the bridges within
the corporate limits.
II IS explained by the commissioners
that the fund resulting from mill OF the
levy appropriated fer bridges has been
strained % its utmost limit in the main
ten2ncc Of the bridges In The country dis
tricts. and that they as a hoard, have
neither the authority ~ law nor the neces-
sary cash 10 help the city. II was un-
dcfstood that the city would appeal 70

tone of the declaration 81 the commits

about town Today il was announced that
the mayor would be advised OF the feeling

no less than / 800 names viii be signed &c
this petition. including many OF the bust
ness men Of the city whose political be-
liefs are varied.
That the petition is in contemplation, II
not in actual circulation. is evinced by
Mayor Fawcett's knowledge OF the pro-
posed move. When he was today asked
whether such a petition would be circu-
lated. and whether. were 1t presented to
him. would he agree to shy his castor in
the ring. he said;
''Yes. I've heard abou. that. I do not
know what is being done. but I've been
told such a petition would probably be pre-
scented TO me- But It will not do any good.

In the face of these fat-footed talks OF
the mayor his chief henchmen are busy
at work boosting his candidacy. They
have little to say that leads TO the real in
tent OF Fawcett's repeated declarations
that he VIII not be a candidate. but every
move made by them points TO preparation
for a fight in convention with Fawcett as
their leader.
