81 am in favor of a restricted

Well, what of 1t
Because Mr.. Fawcett was so
emphatically elected mayor and
because he is in favor of a re-
stricted district, a general impress
sion has gained circulation that
Tacoma is to go back to an "open
town" policy and that denizens of
the under world are to be invited
| to come back to Tacoma.
But will they?
Has Mr.. Fawcett's opinion any
thing to do with the case, any
way?
Under the old charter It Is ad.
mitted it would have a great deal
to do with it. But Tacoma has a
new charter now. The mayor does
not appoint and cannot discharge
the chief of police or any other
policeman now. These men will
be under the direction of the com.
missioner of public safety.
And supposing "closed town
commissioner of public safety is
elected!
Would Mayor Fawcett's predi-
lection in favor Of a restricted
district" have any bearing on the
case whatever?
| Here is the charter, under the
heading of duties of the mayor:
"He shall from time to
time give the council infor-
nation in writing relative to f,
the state of the city, and
shall recommend such meas I
ures as he may deem bene- s
ficial to its interests. He I
shall take care that this
charter, the laws of the state,
and the ordinances of the city
are duly enforced within the
city and its jurisdiction. He
shall have general supervi-
sion over all the depart
ments and public institutions
in the city, and see that they
are honestly. economically
and lawfully conducted. He
shall, with the aid of the
commissioner of public safe
| ty, take all proper measures
| for the preservation of public
order and the suppression of
all riots and tumults, for
which purpose he is author
ized and empowered to use
and command the police
force"
There is nothing In there that
would permit Fawcett or any 9th
er mayor to establish a restricted
district. He docs not even have
,lany control over the police except
