 The semi annual drain of interest on more than $9,000.0 of bonded debt of the state. practically all sent to New York, then returned as interest bearing loan To our own people, was a para doxical financial situation that excited the mind of Governor Oates to seek a normal change.
 Under the advice of this governor therefore. the legislature of 1S94-g5 gave him authority to sell 3 per cent 16-year bonds of small denominations The scheme was to induce the general public to invest and thus return at least part of the interest to the tax paying source.
 But the governor found no market for per cent stocks in Alabama. Nothing daunted he went to New York to seek a market there for the new bonds, since the money thus coming in was required by law to be used in calling in and cancelling original bonds drawing a higher rate of interest. Wall street

of the city, the commission Sat
urday passed a resolution con-
demning the move of the Taco
ma Railway & Power company in
routing it's South Tacoma and
Point Defiance cars around JEFF
ferson Junction and through the
city.
The street car company had
made the change at the request
of Mayor Fawcett, who had de-
manded that persons transferring
from Pacific avenue TO c street
be allowed to ride the two blocks
instead of walking.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1914-07-20

Pacific avenue business men
were present to protest against
the new routing. The claim that
South Tacoma cars will carry
their incoming passengers along
c street, and that they will lose
business by the change. The c
street merchants favored the
change.
Il don't know how the change
will help things any, said Acting
Mayor Atkins. The logical place
for South Tacoma cars to come is
Pacific avenue"
The only notice we have had
is the advertisement of the com
pany.' said Mills, and l think
that we should tell the company
that We do not approve"
