Will Sweep Streets.
AS a result of the many complaints
of residents along National avenue
from West Fifth street to the corpora
ton limit that the road was far from
dustless as the contractor assured the
city it would be, when it sold the ma
terial, Street Commissioner Gem was
instructed to sweep the street free
from sand. The company agreed to
pay S25 toward the expense of clean
ing it, but advised that the sand be
left on the street as it is a protection
to a street for the first few months
after completion.
The final hearing on the assessment
role for the improvement of South
Seventh street from to L street was
read. The lot owners outside the city
limits in Beallview subscribed $1S5 to
help the improvement. Benefit assess
ments ranging from $3.50 to $3.50
were made on the property holders.
The total cost to the property is 1895,
to the city $498.50, special assessment

WILL EXAMINE THE
CITY WATER GAUGE
Board of Works Notes Var
lance Between City's and
Company's Gauges.

The board of public works will in
spect the water pressure gauges of
the Richmond City Water Works and
the one at the fire department head
quarters. Chief Miller reported to the
board that the two gauges did not cor
respond especially. when the water
works gauge was high. superintendent
Howard Dill of the company reported
that the gauge at the firehouse was
probably not working right for when
there was 145 pound pressure at the
plant yesterday the city gauge showed
S. pounds. He said that the tester Of
the firm which makes the gauges
would be in Richmond for the purpose
of making tests at the pump house
and would regulate the city's gauge
free of charge. Mayor Zimmerman sug-
gested that the gauge at the pump
house be exchanged for the one at
the hose house. The city officials be-
lieve that their gauge is correct. When
the pressure is low both correspond
though they ordinarily vary about
twenty pounds.
The five per cent reserves on the
paving Of North e street from Tenth
to Sixteenth street, on North D street
from FIT Wayne avenue to the Doran
bridge and for improving South A
street with a new cement curb and
gutter were ordered returned to the
contractors. The engineer reported all
repairs to be in good condition. The
total amount of the reserves is ST..
05239.
Jerry Miller, captain of hose house
No. 4, requested the board of works
to pay him his regular salary during
the time he laid Off waiting his trial
when accused by Joe Baetz, another
fireman, of stealing pair of ships
from a nearby building. His request
was not granted by the board.
That the new city scales will not dc
the inhabitants of the city enough
good to pay for the cost and the in
stallation was the decision of Mayor
Zimmerman who said that a very
small per cent of the people would use
them. President Kennepohl said if a
man thinks he is being swindIed he
can go to the city scales to test the
weight. Mayor Zimmerman and others
said this would not be done once in
1000 cases. An ordinary scale beam
protector will be erected.
The board decided to replace the
fence on the city's property on Butler
Hill which was torn down Halloween
1t also decided that the contractor
was not responsible for the destruc
ton of Harry Kauffman's fence in the
first alley north of Main street be
tween Eleventh and Twelfth street
The contractor notified Kaufman that
the fence was in a line with the work
and told him to remove it.

structed to repair the condition Of

SINGLE TAX FOR SEATTLE.

This paper just now is not prepared to
argue for or against the adoption of single
tax by the city Of Seattle, but when you see
the class Of men who are fighting it you are
inclined to believe it is not bad thing.
The P.-I' IS editorial one day this week
against the single tax amendment was al
most convincing until the owners of those
valuable tracts of real estate, from which
such large sums for tax purposes are an
nually raised UNANIMOUSLY approved OF the.
thoughts and ideas advanced by the editorial.
1t seldom ever happens that even rich people
cry to be given an opportunity to bear the
burdens of the poor, and if the rich OF this
city are really advocating such then truly
is the millennium dawn now at hand and
neither side need give this or any other sub
iect any further consideration. The
ground on which stands the Alaska
block may be a thousand times more valua-
BILE than lot in the suburbs, but how about
the hundreds Of acres Of vacant lots all over
the city, on which only few cents taxation
are paid? A number Of persons each own
more than thousand acres within the city
limits and one concern OWNS In the neigh
borhood Of 5000 acres within the city limits,
and those vast acres bear very small part
Of the city debt. It seems that it would not
be a bad idea for those acres to bear pro
portionate share Of the city burden. This,
however, is not a single tax argument, but
from our view point just and equitable
argument that the lands Of the city regard
less of their owners bear the burden OF tax
alton and each parcel share and share alike

ton will be submitted to Congress by the
postmaster-g general for the government to
take over the telegraphic systems OF the
country and make the same part OF the
postal service. This perhaps, is the longest
stride yet made in the direction OF govern

shows beyond question Of doubt that there

ANOTHER TELEPHONE STEAL.

1t is safe to say no public service corpora
ton that has ever operated in the state of
Washington has devised more schemes and
sharp practices to flch the patrons thereof
out of the extra money to swell the Golfers
of it's stockholders than has, what is COM
monty known in Seattle, the Sunset Tele-
phone Company Not satisfied with raising
it's rate 25 per cent the company has III
augurated a system whereby its patrons
must pay them an iron dollar IN case they
overlook the payment of their bill before
the 10th Of the month. After that date
YOUR telephone is disabled at the office of
the company and when called, your number
is reported temporarily disconnected. You
may go at once and pay the bill but you are
informed that you will have to pay dol
lar extra for lineman to go out and hook
up your telephone, which has been previous
ly disconnected, all of which is the most
blankety, blank, blank blank falsehood ever
told as the phone is put in commission by
the chief operator simply taking the L. ID.
off your number. 1t is reported that nearly

the same basis as is the one in Seattle, 1t is
