BUNDLE Of RULES
TURNED DOWN

The civil service board was
before the commission again this
morning with something else. 1t
wanted the council to approve a
big bundle of rules"
Peder Jensen, who is put for
ward by the board to do the talk
ing, said he felt like a comic
opera performer in the civil
service business, the way 1t is GO
ing, but he is sticking to it to try
to get something out of the propo-
sition.
The mission listened to Jen-
sen and Browder Brown, and then
adjourned without doing anything
The members saic they had not
had time to look over the rules,
and cid not want to approve them
until they knew what was in them
The civil service board is dis
covering that civil service Gre
ated by action of the council
whose powers are to be limited by
their own action, is considerable
of farce. Jensen says that II
may be necessary to get an amend
ment to the charter before they
can do what they want to.

WHY CUT DOWN THOSE
PIT. DEFIANCE TREES?

(There is a sincerity of express
sion in the following letter re-
ceived by the Times that will
doubtless appeal to people who
believe in natures loveliness and
the best use to which it can be
put.-Editor.
In reply to the Times invitation
for anyone who has a 'kick" to
present it, I will take advantage
of the kind offer and state that
I have one-a big one-on public
grounds, and as a taNpayer-a
vigorous protest, which, if 1 were
able, would take the form of a
suit to enjoin the park board from
continuing its terrible tree-cutting
at Point Defiance park.
This is not one of those love
letters about the park board that
have flooded the press for two
years. 1t is an appeal to Ia
coma to save its great park from
destruction, regardless of the So
cial or other popularity of any
individual. Park board members
come and go, but the parks stay.
The park is for the people, not
for the board, and no citizen has
right to cut down its trees and
sell them in cord wood, as is be-
ing done.

rest his tired nerves-Ibut the

Editor Times: One of the cars
of the Sixth avenue line has been
running for weeks with a fiat
wheel, the dine of which ascend
eth unto heaven. Two more of
the cars on this line have wheels
almost as bad.
While we meekly endure the
unsanitary condition of many of

cency the boorish ignorance of
numbers of it's fleeting procession
of employees, we strenuously OBJ
ject to our slumber being broken

ly, being maintained to serve as
an amending revelation of the as.
SHINE economy which has evel
marked the course of this Justly
hated corporation.
What has become of the city
ordinance against running cars
with flat wheels? Has it been lost
in some municipal shuttle; or, can
it be true that since one of our
city commissioners has trans
formed himself into willing
henchman of this foreign outfit,
they may disregard city ordi-
nances with impunity?

CITY TO SUE
CORPORATIONS

The city attorneys will have
their hands full for the next cou-
pie of weeks With important legis-
lation on the question in dispute
between the city and public SER
vice corporations.
Tomorrow the case of the city
and the Bell Telephone company
fs up in federal court for hearing.
This suit is to determine whether
or not the Bell company has any
franchise to do business here. The
city says not. If it wins the case
the company will have to get a
new franchise or quit.
Under the new charter, fran
chises like this will have to be
submitted to the people if IL per
cent of the voters petition for it,
and it is pretty certain no new
franchise would ever get through
without a referendum vote, as the
people are tired of two systems.
The suit, therefore, is one that
practically will determine wheth-
er or not the Bell company will be
allowed to continue in business in
Tacoma.
Next week the attorneys have
the street railway cases up before
the supreme court at Olympia.
There are three cases. One is on
the transfers between the T. R. &
p. and Traction line. The court
held transfers must be given. An.
other is the five-cent fare case, in
which hte city also won, and the
third is in the case brought
against superintendent Boutell,
where he was fined 800 for not
running as mary cars as the coun-
ell by ordinance said he must.

in his career wore his hair very long
He wrote in his diary one day: II

Heve it does as much for me as my
paintings" However, in 1927 his
friends succeeded in persuading him
to get his hair cut according to the pre-
vailing fashion. On March 10 of that
year he wrote in his diary: "This day
my hair sacrificed and the will of God
usurped by the wishes Of man. AS the
barber clipped my locks rapidly it re-
minded me Of the horrible times Of
the French revolution when the same
operation was performed upon all the
victims murdered by the guillotine. My
heart sank low" Further to express
his grief, the margin Of the page on
which this entry was made he painted
black about three-quarters of an inch
deep all around.
