Tacoma as a municipality has
quite diversified income. Treas
mrer Ed White has compiled a
report for July showing the
sources of municipal cash and it
presents some interesting figures.
Licenses cut a big figure. The
liquor license is the big thing at
$4,000 for the month. Build
ing permits added $180.95; boiler
and engineers licenses, $17S; pool
tables, 1892; warehouse, automo-
bile, express and hack licenses,

$S5; shooting gallery, theater and
street peddling licenses, $479;
plumbing permits, $3.50; employ
ment office and pawnbrokers,

zens. A few favor it who make
the regular trips every day, but
the masses who travel only occa-
sionally are opposed to the deal
and want the order of the railway
commission complied with or the
case tried out III the courts.
If the present compromise offer
of the company is accepted, then
the suit in court will be dismissed
and the masses will have no re-
lief, as the railway commission
will modify it's order to suit the
new compromise.
1t is a clever scheme of the
street car company to beat the
people by dividing them and get
ting the regular commuters on
their side while the masses are on
the other side.

Margaret Anglin Next Saturday.
From the advance reports it
would seem that Margaret Anglin
has in "The Awakening of Helena
Richie" a very desirable medium
for the exploitation of her wonder
full art, and it is in this play that
she will be seen at the Tacoma
bheater next Saturday. The title
of the play is familiar for it is an
adaptation by Charlotte Thompson
of one of Margaret Deland's in
teresting series of "Old Chester
Tales" The story briefly concerns
the life of woman married to a
brutal and drunken husband
whom she leaves for the love of a
man whose devotion appeals to
her.
