THE C|TY'S
GOOD COIN

commissioner Mills got tip that the council
committee to investigate things in his department
were digging into the vouchers of the Auto Sup
Ply company of Tacoma in which his son in law
4. G. Reynolds is partner, and he has fastened
to forestall any report on this by himself an
nouncing that he has purchased much in the
form of city supplies from this company.
In fact the records show he is making it a con-
tinuous performance and has in 1918 bought
$2,77267 worth of goods from this concern
Mills says it is all right, that his predecessors
also bought from the company. The facts show,
however, that Petit bought only about $500
worth from them and Roys about $751;
Mills bought from his son-in-law 80 automo-
bile tires alone in one year, besides lot Of in
ner tubes. In Seattle and most cities where
many tires are bought bids are taken for the
years supply and much money saved. But the
records show Mills always paid the top price.
This Is true of all supplies, according to deal
er who has checked up the vouchers For in
stance Mills bought dozen fire axes from his
SON law. They can be bought for So each, but
he paid $3.50.
Mills also has bought much oil from his SON in
law. One voucher shows that October Is he
bought 10 gal. Med Val. oil for 81 So October 80
he got barrel of the same for 1880 Every
month there was much spent for oil and polish.
There were six purchases in the year of brass
polish, always in small quantities. at the top price
company for stuff bought from them by Mills is
interesting. If there is anything they deal in
that Mills did not buy it does not appear Every
possible attachment for tire or machine shows
large purchases
The city certainly has been good customer
OF the Auto Supply company since Mills went in
to office.

water flew out, carrying every
thing before 1t. The street
was washed out as If it had been
straw and swept down in tons of
earth over the railway tracks.
While one track was buried
under couple of feet of earth, the
other was completely. washed out.
The street for $50 feet was left
one great gulch.
The break occurred directly in
front of the house of p. J.. Con-
cannon on the west and r.. Shade
on the east. The Concannon
house was not hurt much, but is
split at the top and pulling apart.
IL. was not occupied.
The Shade residence got we'll
watered, but escaped the princi-
pal part of the flood.
The main strength of the
de&uge hit the home of Irving
Thompson the hardest. The stove
in the front room was knocked
over and all the furniture wreck
ed. A piano was soaked through
and through. In the rear of the
house it was flooded the same.
There was not window left In
the place.
Right east of the Shade house
was the little cottage of Mrs.
Classen. The water swirled
around it and washed the founda-
ton out from under one-third OF
1t, leaving it hanging on the edge
of the bluff ready at any moment
to tumble into the gulch below.
The home of Frank Linek was
soaked and ruined, and his en-
tire yard practically washed into
the gulch. Great crevasses 20
feet deep and Is feet wide were
cut through his garden which
was utterly annihilated by the
flood of water.
Where the water went over the
bluff washing out the underpin-
ming of Mrs. Classen's home 1t
also took out about 40 feet of
Northern Pacific track, and
again where It came over the
bluff at the Linek place II took
out 100 feet more. All told, at
least 400 feet of the N. p. track
was put out OF commission.
To add to the destruction when
the water department went to
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1914-01-26

sands Of dollars. Sewers were
washed out on street end and
the scene in the vicinity was one
of complete destruction.
The pipe at this place was put
I'm by Commissioner Lawson by
days work, and was not part OF
the contract job, SO IL cannot be
blamed on any of the contract
ors. Lawson blames the extra
damage ON the poor gates which
broke when they tried TO shut off
the water. These were purchased
In Tacoma to give work to a To-
cal foundry and they never were
first class.
Commissioners Freeland and
Mills, after looking over the case,
decided that the steel pipe should
have been run farther up the
hill to where the pressure would
not have been so great before at
tempting to connect 1t with the
wooden pipe.
They all regard the accident as
one due to unforeseen circum-
stances.

shut off the water at the big gate
just south of the Northern Pa
cific tracks the gate stem broke
and the gate refused to work.
This prevented stopping the
flood, which grew worse every
minute. 1t was finally necessary
to shut off the water at Mcmillan
which is dangerous to the whole
pipe line as it has a tendency to
cause it to collapse from the re-
lease of the pressure.
The water rushed. down the
gulch and threatened to do dam
age even to the Tacoma avenue
fill as the big culvert could not
carry it all way. Several men
were kept there to try to help
out the situation.
The Northern Pacific got a
hortle of men on the ground at
once and a steam shovel began
to clear the tracks. They ex-
peeted to get trains through on
one track at 2 o'clock this after
noon.

move John II. Crondon to confess
that he murdered his wife after
he was arrested by the police.
Grondon came from Portland, Me.
While there his wife was found
with two children unconscious
with the gas turned on. She was
resuscitated and the authorities
concluded II was an accident.
Later he came to Los Angeles and
his wife was found dead October

dicating she had committed sui

perts had declared 1t a forgery
and the body of the woman had
been exhumed and poison found
in the vital organs. he was ar

In an adjoining room canary

A business failure and the fact
that Geiger had been unable to
find employment, leads the police
to believe he became respondent
and that he decided to kill his

not suffer want.
Geiger fired one shot through
his mothers head and another
shot through his own head.

Pacific railway in the guIch, and
in 20 minutes 100000 yards Of

Irving Thompson had gone to

1891 South-J., When the pipe
broke a deluge hit the house,
took every window out and wall
of water and rocks demolished
