CITY'S DEMAND FOR TRAN
GLE IN RETURN FOR FRAN
CHISE OVER PACIFIC AVE-
NUE. WILL STAND.

1t is up to the Union Pacific
railway to give up the triangle
block at Seventeenth, Pacific and
Jefferson avenues to the city If II
wants a new franchise to cross
Pacific avenue.
AS demanded by the Times sew
eral days ago, on behalf of the
people, this is the plan of settle
ment agreed upon by the property
owners in that section. Yestef-
day a strenuous day was put In
by the railway representatives 60
ing over the situation with the
property owners and councilmen.
What Property Owners Want.
The council finally referred the
matter to the property owners Tor
a recommendation. The property
owners met. canvassed the whole
case and this is their decision:
The railway must deed to the
city the entire triangle block. It
must build girder viaduct of
attractive design, with piers only
in the middle of Pacific avenue,
and at a point midway between
the center of Pacific avenue and
the middle of Seventeenth streets
only. II this is done, then the
city will grant the franchise as
asked for the new route.
Council to Stand Pat.
The city council it is expected
will stand pat on this proposition
now.
1t is really Just what the COM
pany might have had two weeks
ago, but 1t thought it could work
the city for more. With the prop
erty owners unanimous for settle
ment only on the foregoing con-
iitions, it is believed now that
the council will stop discussion on

WORK Of MARKET
INSPECTOR NOT
At ALL EASY

Mrs. Macrea, market inspector,
is not finding it altogether smooth
sailing in getting merchants to
comply with the requirements of
the law.
while ! find many merchants
willing to cooperate with me In
every way and ready to adopt any
suggestion / make in regard to
cleanliness, others are not so con-
siderate," she said to the Times
today.
Yesterday I had occasion to
visit several places where water
melons were allowed to lie upon
the sidewalks. When l called the
attention of couple of grocers
to this and suggested that they
had better put them on tables the
men were very indignant.
But I think we will get them
all educated after a time. / have

Swap Horses

the subject and will simply let the
u. P. agree to the terms or do
without the franchise.
This was the attitude last night.
When it came time to consider
the matter. the franchise was
found on the table. AS the rail-
way had not made any offer to
agree to the proposed deal, no
one in the council would make a
motion to take the matter off the
table and there it rests. 1t Is not
expected that any councilman will
move to take the thing from the
table until the U. P. agrees to the
recommendation of the property
owners. -
Now Up to Hartman.
1t is up to the Hartmann inter
ests to get the deeds ready for
that triangle and they can have
their franchise just as soon as
they do.
81 will vote for it when they
come through with that block, +"
said Jameson last night. It was
Jameson who first proposed this
settlement. =
81 will stand for 1t also, - said
Rankin, who heretofore has OPP
posed the franchise. 1t is believ-
ed that Lynn also may come over
now. At least there are enough
to pass the ordinance now If the
railway comes down and "swaps
horses" giving the triangle for
the franchise.

The new building code orii-
nance struck another snag in the
council last night. An attempt
was made to railroad it through
but the councilmen want to know
what is in 1t first.
For several months the matter
has been hanging fire. The thing
was first drawn by insurance men.
The the old buildings and property
committee tackled 1t. Some con-
tractors and architects were called
In and they discussed 1t. The
general opinion of builders was
that 1t was too complicated and
too stringent for Tacoma and that
It would hinder, rather than help,
building here.
Some amendments were made
and then 1t came over to the new
council. In the meantime Mr..
Bader started to solicit advertis-
ing ON scheme to print the thing
when passed. He has done a cou-
pie of months work on this and

Strange, a wealthy retired farmer,
out of $4,000. Her presence isn't

him. She says she was to meet

wasn't there, and that she went 70
Portland, where she read of his
arrest.
She came Immediately here and
clinched her belief that he was
the same man who had represent

who had won her love. That her
affection for Mason has dimmed
a great deal is apparent, and she
