MAY BUILD
LINE FROM
LIGHT FUND

The city commission Will not
be able to take the money from
the sinking fund as 1t proposes
TO build the municipal street car
line on the tideflats. For the
city charter expressly prohibits
the investment OF sinking fund
money in any such securities.
The council will undoubtedly
be compelled to come back to the
original suggestion Of the Times
that the line be built from profits
made by the light and power
business this year, which have
been estimated at 100000, but
which the council intended to re-
duce by $4,000 by cutting the
light rates beginning In March.
BY resembling the action to
cut the light rates the commits
sion will be gathering in several
thousand dollars month this
year in profits that can be util-
lied to build the tracks and buy
equipment for the tidefiats line.
But the charter will prohibit
the investment of sinking funds
in the street railway warrants.
The city will have to call for
bids for the purchase Of the rails
and other material to go into
the line.

DYNAMITE
UNDER BRIDGE

Forty pounds of dynamite, to-
gether with q large can of black
powder, were discovered today
hidden in a mysterious cave under
the east approach to the nth
street bridge, close to the city
waterway.
The explosive, powerful
enough to wreck the entire
bridge, Is still there. Police de-
tectives who investigated the
case today made certain that the
dynamite was really dangerous
and then gingerly tiptoed away
from IL.
A small boy searching for
worms as bait for a fishing party

sive at 8 o'clock today. The dy-
Mantle and powder was secreted
