OPENING OF new BUSINESS
STREETS TO BE CONSIDERED

Whether the hill streets, includ-
Ing Eighth, Tenth, Twelfth and
Fourteenth, shall be opened from
Pacific avenue to Tacoma avenue
will probably be settled at a meet
ing of the council Monday night,
when the property owners inter
ested will be invited to be
heard.
Property owners who would be
on corners after the streets are
opened are generally enthusiastic
over the proposition now. Wheth-
er they will be so when they get
an idea about how much it will
cost them, remains to be seen.
Business men generally are in
favor of opening the streets If ii
can possibly be done. The en-
forced walk around two blocks to
get from store on c street to
Commerce or from Commerce to
Pacific avenue is a serious handi-
cap. 1t is thought, on the business
section of Tacoma.
Councilman Rankin suggests
that arcades might relieve the
