COUNCIL SILENT
ON HEBB SITE.
HAD GOOD TIM {.

Returning from visit to the
p. II. Hebb power site on the
White river, members of the city
council were today unwilling to
give any indication of what action
would be taken on Hebb's offer
to sell the site for a million dol
lars.
IL was rumored that the pur-
chase might be put mp at a bond
issue election, and that the people
could decide for themselves
whether or not they wanted the
additional power. Commissioner
Woods was frank in asserting his
belief that Tacoma was not in q
position now to purchase the
site, and that for the present the
city should prepare storage facif-
ties at the Nisqually plant.
The commission enjoyed q
pleasant excursion. The long trip
was made in automobiles. When
the councilmen arrived at Hebb'e
ranch they were given q big din
ner OF fried chicken. During
the afternoon Mayor Fawcetf
fished IN the river and the coun-
ciimen enjoyed rides on Hebb's
ponies The party returned TO
Tacoma at 6 o'clock last night.

Widows Plea Wins Low
Power Rate for Poor

The plea of tired little
widow, earning a livelihood for
herself and her three children,
touched the hearts of Tacoma s
municipal commission today. AS
a result the city decided to let
down the bars and grant cheap
electric current to any poor per-
sons in Tacoma who are using
city electricity as an aid to earn
ing a living.
The cause of the action was
Mrs Grace w. Russ. who runs a
dressmaking establishment IN her
rooms at 401 liz K street. Last
year the city granted Mrs. Russ
free power, because her revenue
from the dressmaking industry
would not feed the three children
and pay the expense of operating
her big electric iron.
Today Mrs. Russ appeared be-
fore the new council. Electric
Supt- Collins explained the case,
and asked the council to deter
mine whether to continue giving
free power.
This sort of case touches my
heart" said Commissioner At

Hanson's itinerary includes q
speech at Anacortes today. Then
he will go to Wenatchee. Biggar
will take the stump for Hanson
here.
Hanson has a cinch in this
county" said Biggar last night.
His campaign has made friends
for him of everyone in Belling-
ham. He will receive hundreds
of democratic and republican
votes. The people understand
that his development plan is the
only constructive plan offered by
any candidate. Jones and the
others are trying to initiate Han
sons rural credit plan, but they
cant steal the credit"

That's right. That's what We
