Interest Is ExOrbitant.

There is still another thing. At the
time the Waterway company was organized
ana the state gave il the rights unfe
these contracts, the rate OF interest in the
state of Washington was very much higher
than at the present time. For instance,
on business property : per cent was the
lowest rate Of interest. while today on this
same security a half dozen OF the best
financial institutions would he glad TO IS
sue loans on basis OF per cent On
residence property then the prevailing
rates for loans at an average were : and
10 per cent. Now Pc cent Is common
and many are negotiated at Per cent Yat
under these contracts the rate is percent.
and there is no provision by watch an
owner can pay up the lien and relieve the

the lands are filled or not The lien ex-
lists and is menace to the property.

istence az these contracts.

Sentiment Against Extension.

There is beyond question of a doubt
growing sentiment in Seattle against
the extension of the tide land filing con-
tracts between the state of Washington
and the Seattle & Lake Washington Wa
terway Company. The tide land property
owners are uniting their strength against
extending the contracts for filing Seattle
tide lands four years and win continue
the fight even in the face OF Commissioner
Bridges refusal to grant a rehearing in
the matter.
Among the large owners of these manu-
featuring sites is NJ. H. Young, general
manager of the New England Northwest
Investment Company. He, like other hold
ers, is unalteraby opposed to extending
the contracts. assuming the position that
such action Is a great injustice to all
who have invested their money in Sc
attic tide lands. In an interview yester-
day ne said:
II am most positively against the ex-
tension Of these four contracts held by the
Seattle & Lake Washington Waterway
Company. My objections are based on
many conditions Chief among these is
the fact that the extension covers GER
tain contracts on which not a stroke of
work has ever been done, and also that
ii is physical impossibility to do within
the time. specified in the extension one
fourth of. the work mapped out:
Now, for instance. suppose the COM
pany goes ahead enlisting the full num-
Der of dredgers it has ever had on the
fly day and night for the entire four
years, II could only All in a small part of
the land covered in the extension of the
contracts.
The company admits that certain parts
of the tide lands covered in these con-
tracts must be filled with earth washed
down by hydraulic machinery from Bea-
con hill. and conveyed over property over
which the company has no contract. Now.
the Seattle & Lake Washington Waterway
Company has not taken any steps to pur-
chase or secure this property. The ex-
perience of King county In trying TO Sc
cure a right-ofway for the north canal
shows that 1t is matter of impossibility
to get through with the litigation that
would be necessary for the company to
go through, in time TO utilize the Beacon
hill earth before the present extension
would expire.
Another thing: If you are familiar with
the tide land property you will know that
in order to utilize II properly and permit
OF sufficient wharfage for manufacturing
purposes. II is necessary to have several
slips running up into it. When Engineer
Bogue laid out that district ii was planned
so these slips could be placed most de-
sirable to property owners.
Under the present contracts there is no
provision made by which property owners
can utilize their own tide lands in a wey
most advantageous to them, but they
must haveeall filed up If the waterway
company SO elects.

LIGHTING PROBLEM.
The Committee ON Lights Held Its
First Meeting Yesterday.

The committee on lights met yesterday
afternoon at four o'clock. The bills OF
she Portland Electric Light company had
been hanging since December first, on
account OF little Misunderstanding be-
tween the company and the committee,
but every thing has been satisfactorily ad-
justsd and the bills approved. The mat
ter of lighting Long island with naptha
Welstaoh lights Was considered. and I'M
less these lights can be had much less
than the gas Welsbach in the city, the old
system will prevail this year. The sx-
pense of the Welsbach system will BIZ
nearly double the persent lights, The
lighting of Peaks island will also be
looked into, and the committee feel that
lower rates should be obtained. Long
Island has four candidates for light
tenders, namely, Woodbury., Alexander,
and two Wallaces. They all appear to
have a good backing. Until itEis decided
what kind of lights will be used, the
committee win not take action on the
light tender. at Peaks island Mr.. Hol-
brook at present has NO opposition. Very
few lights have bsen reported out lately,
and tine situation is more satisfactory to
the committee.
The light Committee organized with
Alderman Brown as Its chairman and
Councilman Murphy as secretary.
