In the first place, Perkins nor
any other building owner has a
right to an areaway. It's a per-
mission the city may grant or re-
fuse. The city can order an area
way out by simple resolution.
The areaways are on public
property. The city allows them
when they do not interfere with
traffic.
However, even with the area
way left in, the sidewalk leading
to the bridge is nowhere three feet
narrow. as the bridge was Origi-
nally planned.
On the Wayerhaeuser side, it
is six feet wide for a distance of
II feet leading from A st. Then
the walk is under the bridge and
is IA feet wide.
On the Perkins side, the side
walk is six feet wide for 60 feet
back from A ST., then it gets un-
der the bridge, and is l 1 feet wide
at the narrowest point, even leav-
ing the areaway in.
That settles this "three feet"
business"
Now, is six-foot sidewalk
enough, even for a short distance,
II feet on one side and 60 feet
on the other?
Every downtown sidewalk which
has an areaway now is six feet
wide, or less.
Sidewalks In the residence Sec
tions are but five feet wide.
Measure off a six-foot sidewalk
on Pacific av. and see for your
self how wide 1t is. You'll prob
ably decide that it's wide enough.

Prescott, Wis,
November II, 1911.
Hon. w. w. Seymour, Mayor of
Tacoma:
Having been called from Taco
ma to this part of the country on
business, l was attracted at Pres
cott by the workings of the school
center recently established.
AS worked out in Prescott, the
plan Is fine and / hope to see it
established in Tacoma.
Here at Prescott, Mr.. Mayor, /
saw Hlks actually making full use
of the public property they pay
taxes to keep UP.
Siv+weeks ago Mayor Joseph
Hoves. a man of progressive ideas,
got Edward ]. Ward, the original
social center man, to come up
froh Madison to make a speech on
the longer use of the schoolhouse.
The idea caught the people and
Ward sent Miss Genevieve Turner,
a Wisconsin university girl, with
experience in playground work,
to start things.
Now, Prescott Ia a very differ
ent place from the Prescott of six
weeks ago. The town is aH axe

be conscious as a whole rather

Its SOCIAL CENTER. And prac-
tically everybody, except the men,
bers OF one small church, recog-
nizes that center now. That
church backed out because Miss
Turner taught the little girls to
dance Russian folk dances and do
other herring-around-the-rosy stunts.

poses.
But this isn't all.
Cut up as it is with areaways
and galleries, the present sidewalk
to the dock is only six feet wide.
And the people can only use one
sidewalk, on account of the con-
struction work going on on the
north side of the street.
The six-foot sidewalk accommo-
dates the crowd now.
Under the original bridge plans
they were to have two sidewalks
II to IA feet wide for 80 per cent
of the way, and could also reach
the dock by way of Cliff av. from
10th or 18th st.
In all this we are figuring only
on the welfare of the people. If
Perkins loses any light in that
basement, the amount of damage
should be determined in court.
Both his lawyers and the city's
agree that the damage would be
only nominal.
The peoples damage would not
be nominal.
They would be damaged about
$75, 900, it is estimated.
This is the whole truth about
the bridge matter as near as the
Times can arrive at it after a thor
ough investigation.
And the Times Is the only news

AK to grind in this matter. It Is
able to fight without any other

Blood

SHANGHAI, Nov. II. - The
massacre OF Chinese by Manchus
at Marking continued today and
imperialists are even pursuing the
people out of the city and chop
ping them to pieces.
Estimates place the number of
dead at fifty thousand. Dead and
dying fill the streets, cutters arc
running with blood and the city
is like a monster slaughter house.
Manchu soldiers are butchering In
fants, children, women and MALES
without discrimination. HeadIess
torsoes of babes litter the streets
and the bodies of adults are
|frightfnily mutilated. Shops and
stores are either burned TO tho
ground or completely wrecked.
Every Chinese home is a burning
funeral pxre.

The rebels are preparing terri
BILE retaliation. Once they take
the city the butchers sword will
change to Chinese hands, Manchus
will be the victims. News of the
massacre is causing thousands to
join the rebels.
Reports have It that even Chi

troops near Marking.
They are said to have vowed ven-
geance for the slaughter Of their
babes and reports from the rebel
camp say arms are being issued
to them. They are maddened by
