Who Shall Sustain the Loss !?

There are various speculations and
conjectures about the recent collapse
of the big trunk sewer in the Swan
town fill as to the party or parties
who must sustain the loss or dam
ages in connection with this unfortu-
nate occurrence. 1t is said the Ia
coma Dredging company and con-
tractor claim they were lawfully per-
forming their contracts under the d.
rection and supervision of our city
officials, and therefore must be exon
Grated from blame, which. if correct,
then the question arises shall the
city general fund be inculpated to
meet the heavy expense or will the
property owners in the sewer district
as fixed by the ordinance in that be-
half be called upon to foot the bill
A large proportion of these owners
will doubtless make vigorous protests
against paying for any extras above
the contract price for this sewer i'm
provement except engineers and
other expenses connected with the
supervision Of the work. Moreover
the general fund is not very flush
just now, to meet the heavy drafts
thereon.

to restore it to place without re-

An Excusable "But-In."

It is not often that we make an ef-
fort to placate foes of the opposite
party engaged in cutting each other S
threats. but we have been requested
to favor what some people regard as
the under-dog in the present warfare
between Perky's Toins and the
Washington Rerie,o, Senator Ruth's
personal organ. 1t is certainly a
pleasure to do so, inasmuch as the

the grey-stuff that actuates the
Tpins is either Tacoma made, or

ever, in assuming that the Young

in any way controlled by them. 1t is
admitted they tried to absorb" the
new public utility. and their support
very nearly accomplished its destruc-

The law on this subject does not

Several years ago Judge Byron
Millett wrote q few articles for the

which had met with favor in States
and localities where tried. Those
communications referred to an old
statute of Washington passed in

fundamental law. After its adop.

utter destruction of fish N the forest
