If Councilmen "Stay Put
People Will Have Chance to
Vote on Municipal Ownership

With Russell, Turnbull and
Hawley absent, eight councilmen
lined up last night in favor of
giving the people a chance this
spring to say whether or not they
want to inaugurate a municipal
street car system to ultimately
crowd the present traction trust
off the Tacoma map.
There was some lively lodging
on the part of some of the candi-
dates for office. Lynn, who tried
to have fun with the ordinance
last week, got on the band wagon
last night and voted for it. Bell
voted on both sides last night,
finally standing for the ordi-
nance. Rankin also tried to kill
off the proposition by a substitute
that would have been indefinite
and would have allowed the mat
ter to be bone of contention in
the future as to what was wanted,
but he too finally lined up for the
ordinance.
Jameson, Giblett, Kreger,
Chapman, Stewart and Lynn were
for the ordinance all the time last
night. When Bell and Rankin
Joined in they had eight, which
made a majority, and the ordi-
nance was recommended for pass
age.
1t now goes to the judiciary
committee. There may be more
juggling with it the coming week,
but it is expected to come up for
final vote next Wednesday night.
Armstrong, who is a candidate
for mayor, was against municipal
ownership all the way. So was
Brand, Eberly, Wilkeson aod
Hawthorne.
1t Is expected that Russell and
Hawley will vote for the ordi-
nance when it is up for passage
next week. however, and this
will give 10 votes or enough to
pass 1t IL the men who stood for
1t last night stay on the same side
they finally landed.
The project is to issue 100000
in bonds to begin the building of
street car system. This will
build line on Pacific avenue from
the dock to Twenty-fifth street,
from Twenty-fifth a branch will
go along the water ditch to South
Tacoma, and another will strike
off to Bismarck. Another lt1e
will go up Fifteenth street and
out to the Narrows. A third line
will go to Point Defiance park,
and a fourth line will go across
the Eleventh street bridge to the
Puyallup river, serving the mills
on the tideflats from the center
of town.
Provision is also made later to
condemn the old lines, If it is
deemed advisable.
Councilman Giblett, the author
of the ordinance, however, be-
lieves that after the city gets in
to competition with the old line
and begins to take the business
the Stone-Webster interests will
be glad to let go on any terms
they can get.
