PEOPLE DEFEAT ATTACK ON
MUNICIPAL DOCK PLANS
Campaign by Special Interests Fails to Overcome
Determination of Tacoma to Have Municipal
Waterfront Plant-Fire Tug Defeated.

the private interests that want to
keep the city in bondage to the
railway and dock monopolies.
Money was poured out by the in
.terests for workers and mislead-
ing literature, and some were
swayed from their good judgment
The education by the Times on
the necessity for municipal docks,
however, could not be overcome
and the intelligent voters march
ed to the polls and carried the
dock by good margin.
Tacoma thereby takes the lead
in the list of cities in the North
west now seeking municipal.d docks
and with city dock in operation
Tacoma will be in position to be
first in offering special induce
ments to commerce coming to the
Sound.
The dock to be made out of the
old warehouse will be ready for
business it is expected by the
first of the year. The new dock
will be built next spring and sum-
mer. 1t will be the finest dock on
the Pacific coast and probably-the
finest in the United States. 1t
will be so constructed to bring
good revenues and is expected to
more than pay for itself in a few
years.
Mayor Fawcett has taken a spe-
cial interest in the project and he
will see that it is pushed to the
earliest possible completion.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1910-10-31

The municipal dock is a go.
And the two Eleventh street
bridges will be built.
But there will be no firetug
!, burden for the taxpayers.
The campaign started by the
Times several months ago for mu-
nicipal docks, and taken up and
organized into concrete form by
Mayor Fawcett, ended in complete
-rout for the special interests Sat-
urday when the people voted to
issue $405,000 to acquire and
build a great municipal dock.
The plans for the temporary
dock to be made out of the old
warehouse running 500 feet north
of the Eleventh street bridge are
already practically complete and
it is expected to call for bids
within ten days for this work.
Then the bonds will be sold,
plans will be secured for the
bridges and the big dock south of
Eleventh street and the great
project will be pushed through to
completion.
The bridges carried by the
largest vote, about three to one.
The Eleventh street bridge also is
part of the municipal dock pro-
ject as it Is expected to raise the
present structure so boats can go
under without swinging the draw.
The dock was made the butt of
a desperate attack Saturday by

About $500
Votes Cast

The city commission met this
morning to canvass the vote at
the bond election Saturday and
adjourned without opening the
returns until 2 o'clock this after
noon. The figures are now being
tabulated.
In round numbers the vote
shows total of about $500.
The Puyallup bridge carried by
4,300 to 1000.
The Eleventh street bridge car
ried by about 1900 to 1900.
The municipal dock carried by
about 1000 to 1900.
The firetug was defeated by
about $500 against to only 2,200
for the proposition.
The municipal dock had over
LOO of majority and over 200
more than the required three
fifths.
There was about 10000 voters
who did not go to the polls or
the dock would have undoubtedly
carried by much larger major
ity.
