The people of the city of Tacoma by their votes put
that in the charter.
They demand that it be observed by their repre-
sentatives
Every commissioner took oath to uphold the char
ter with this provision in it. A. u. MILLS WAS
lIMSELF MEMBER OF THE CHARTER COM
MISSION THAT DRAFTED THE PROVISION
AND SUBMITTED IT TO THE VOTERS FOR
RATIFICATION.
Are the voters now going to permit their commits
sioners not only to repudate the city charter and
release Stone Webster from the payment of the
600 represented by half the cost Of the bridges
for the tidefat line but to dig down in the city
treasury and hand Stone Webster $1,000 year in
the bargain?
ABLE PROPOSITION THAT HAS EVER BEEN
BROACHED IN THE COUNCIL CHAMBER.
And the only excuse offered by the city commits
sion is that the city attorney says the charter provs
ion may be evaded by legal technicalities.
But the city commission cannot evade the popular
will by technicalities
The people care nothing for the legal quibbles of
lawyers but they put that provision in their city
charter because they meant it. It represented the
in which Mayor L. D. Campbell fought the company
to standstill on the bridge question and finally
wrested victory for the people from the company.
For city commission to even suggest the undoing
of the work of all these years of struggle by the
pie is reputation of the oath of office.
But for it to propose to pay Stone-Webster for
going over the city bridge in violation of the city
charter is reputation Of the people in such form that
it should demand the immediate resignation of any
man who has the nerve to countenance it,
It is not merely question Of street railway service
at stake It is not merely question of munich
pal ownership: THE PEOPLE OF TACOMA ARE
OR NOT THEY ARE GOING TO PERMIT A
TREASONABLE MAJORITY IN THE CITY
COUNCIL TO GET BEHIND CLOSED DOORS
AND FRAME UP A DEAL TO BARGAIN AWAY
THE PEOPLES RIGHTS AGAINST THEIR Elk
PRESSED WILL.

AUTOMOBILES MAKE
COMPLAINT.
Claim That Sticks, Shells, Etc, Are
Thrown ut Cars at The
Railroad Crossing.

A number of Automobiles, who
use the State road, are complaining
of the fact that persons in the
neighborhood of the Railroad Cross
ing are causing considerable trou-
BILE by throwing sticks, shells, and
other things at their cars as they
drive along the road. On account
of the fact that even though such
an article be merely tossed in the
air, the impetus of a moving auto
mobile, especially if such a machine
is moving along at the rate of
from ten to twenty miles an hour,
will cause it to inflict a serious
wound should anyone be hit, the
charge made by the automobiles
becomes serious.
In connection, however, with this
matter, inasmuch as the Bohemians
are charged with being the ones
who throw these various missiles,
it might not be amiss to remind
persons who are in the habit of
going out to the Bohemian settle
ment, that the Bohemians claim to
be very much annoyed by the visits
of people from Cambridge.
Some automobile drivers state
that planks, containing nails, are
put into the road for the purpose
of puncturing the tires These of
lenses are of a serious nature, and
a thorough investigation should be
made, both as to the truth of the
charges and also as to the reasons
for placing such planks in the
road.
