by the grantee named in this ordinance
is now being enjoyed by the Tacoma Cat

contains provision that the holder there

time the electric current is required by the
city, shall deliver to the city for the
purpose of supplying its electric light plant
and waterworks, or for any other pur-
poses, as much electricity as the city may

1T would be difficult TO assign good
reason why this provision should not have
been inserted in that ordinance, and if it
was good business for the city to safeguard
its interests in that way at that time.
there are MANIFOLD more reasons why it
should in the same way safeguard its in

MAYOR BALL|NGER FACES A CRISIS

SEATTLE, June l4.-Judge Richard A.
Ballinger. Seattles reform mayor, is liv-
ing example of the truth of the ancient
adage that it is impossible to touch pitch
without being defled. In an evil moment
the mayor gave ear to the counsel OF false
friends in regard to the application OF
Henry Beck for license to sell beer at
Madison park, and now he finds himself
between the devil and the deep blue sea
as result of an irrepressible conflict be-
tween promise he is alleged to have
made the friends of Beck in the city
council and the pledge he gave to the law
and order element of the city before his
election.
AT a meeting of the council last night,
25,OO0 people, personally and by means of
petitions, urged the council to refuse the
license The councilmen did not dare
make deliberate move against the wishes
of such representation, neither did they
wish to antagonize the saloon element by
voting against the license. Last night they
gracefully wgged out of the dilemma by
passing the proposition up to the mayor.
Although the mayor steadfastly refuses
TO discuss the matter, there is now but
little doubt that, actuated by the best of
motives, he tacitly approved Beck's license
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1904-06-14

application and promised to give it his
official signature in the hope OF shatterng
the frame-up engineered by President Gil
Of the city council against a proposed IN
crease in the police force.
Mayor Ballinger has set his heart on
building up the police department, but
has found himself blocked at every turn
by certain of the councimen, who have
practically served notice upon him that he
need expect no favors from them until
the public gambling houses are allowed to
reopen.
The story goes that Councilmen Mullen
and Zbinden, acting. in the interest of one
of the large breweries of the city, have
agreed to help the mayor out in the
council provided he will not oppose the
Beck license, and that the mayor has
agreed to their proposal.
Now he finds himself steering between
the Scylla of public opinion and the
Charybdis of premise to break which
means the defeat of every measure he may
hereafter ask the council to pass.
This is the dilemma which stares the
city's chief executive in the face, after
giving Seattle for two months the cleanest
and most wholesome administration she
she ever had.

Edward l. Samson and b. Olson.
The minority report was as follows:

This report was signed by 7. w. Ham

On Mr.. Hammond's motion the minori-
ty report was substituted for the ma
jority report and adopted by vote of
to I. The ordinance was passed on its
third reading by the same vote.
Then the mayor exercised his veto power
and returned the franchise unsigned, giving
the following reasons for not giving ii
his approval:
"The reasons for withholding approva'
from this ordinance are: That 1T con
tains no provision under which the grantee
in said ordinance can be required to fur
nish electric current to the city for light
ing the streets and public places and sup
plying current for electric light to the cit
zens.
1T is not reasonable or business-ikC

More.

In view of the fact that the Tacoma
Railway & Power company is making an
other attempt to get through the council
a power franchise that win give the com
pany monopoly on the electric power
business in this city, some local history on
a former attempt of the same kind will
prove interesting, especially as the facts
in the case were never published in full.
A franchise almost the counterpart Of
the one now asked for was before the
council year ago. The records in the
city clerks office show that the franchise
was reported to the council by the fran.
chise committee May 7, with the recon-
mendation that it be referred to the com.
mttee of the whole. Tuesday, June 2,
the council met as a committee of the
whole and, after long session, it was
recommended that the following amend
ment be inserted;
Upon one years notice by the city. said
grantee (the I. r. & p. company or Pu-
get Sound Electric Railway company, its
successors or assigns. shall be required TO
supply the city with electric current not
to exceed 5000 horsepower at price not
to exceed l cent per kilowatt hour"
The franchise, with this amendment,
was reported back to the council and
the report adopted. 1t was then referred
to the judiciary committee for final ac-
tion.
June 10 the franchise came back to the
council with two reports from the judi
oiary committee In reference to the pro
vision requiring the grantee to furnish eiec
trio current to the city, the majority re
port says:
