REAL FACTS ABOUT
PROPOSED CARLINE
TO THE TIDE FLATS

nights rest? Or would you pre-
fer that they arrive weary from a
long walk, tired before the days
WORK is begun?
Would it be worth while to
have street cars passing the door
of your establishment? Or would
you prefer that your employees let
down half an hour before quitting
time to rest in preparation for the
long walk back to the city?
1t has been claimed that, with
only 5000 workingmen to use the
line, 1t could not be made to pay.
Perhaps not-at first. But wise
men build for the future.
How long do you suppose It
would be. with a car line crossing
the tideflats, before Northeast Ia
coma would be transformed from
a wilderness to district OF
homes? 1t wouldn't be long.
Then not only workingmen
would use the line, but school
children. too, and housewives.
1t is true that all Tacoma is in
terested in this car line. Let all
Tacoma, then. bear the cost.

Peter Czehar, the eight-year-

about the bridge.

Let us, now, get down to brass
tacks.
Stone-Webster can't put a cal
line across the municipal bridge
unless they pay half the cost OF
the bridge. And they won't dc
that. II they won't build the
line, the city must. It is needed.
How, then, shall the city build
the line? There are three ways
We can build it with the earn.
ings Of the light plant, but that
money will not be available until
next spring.
Or we can issue bonds. But
that would mean an election. A
bond issue might be defeated.
And the line is needed.
And why, after all, should the
cost of building this line be ad-
ded to the burdens, already
heavy, Of the taxpayers. when
many of them would seldom have
occasion to use the proposed line
and own no property adjacent to
it,
What. then, Is the equitable
thing to do? Who would be bene-
fitted by a car line across the
bridge?
The 5000 workingmen who are
employed in the tideflats. But
they, when the time comes. will
pay fares from which the city
presumably will make a profit.
Well, the companies and indi-
viduals owning holdings on the
tideflats and in business there.
They would profit from car line

son Trust Secure $4,000
Issue.

There was a scramble today among
financial institutions to purchase the
$51, 900 issue of gravel road bonds is
sued by Wayne county in payment for
the construction of the improvement
of the National road east of the city.
The bonds were sold at noon by AL
bert N. Chamness, county treasurer.
Being one of the largest issues for a
single gravel road improvement that
has been made in Eastern Indiana, and
the demand among investors for this
class of securities being great at all
times, there was a spirit of competi-
ton among the bidders, though when
the proposals, which had been filed
sealed, were openeds, the joint bid of
the Second National bank, of Rich
mond, and the Dickinson Trust COM
pany, of Richmond. offering a premium
of $52650, outdistanced all others.
The Wayne National bank, of Cam
bridge City, made on offer on. about
half the issue, but the proposal could
not be considered under the terms of
the advertisement for bids, which set
