CITY JUICE"
SOLD AT CUT

Mayor A. V. Fawcett received
an anonymous communication to-
day saying that the Eagle Maca-
roni company, Columbia Brewing
company, A Street Garage, John
B. Stevens company, Olympia Ice
company and Kerr Clifford com
pany were getting current from
the city at rates greatly lower
than the fixed scale.
Electric Superintendent Collins
vas called to the council room
and started to explain that the
reduced rates were made by A. l..
Thorne, former commercial agent
of the light department. when
Commissioner Mills cut him off.

ter be referred to the light de-
partment, and that a report be
returned" said Mills. The mo-
tion carried.

TO PROBE
CITY AUTO
JOY RIDES

Mayor Fawcett's ordinance
making il a jail offense for any
city employee to use a city auto
mobile for anything other than
official business, is evidently
being forgotten.
Il see by a newspaper that
there were two cars out to the
baseball grounds the other day. +"
said Commissioner Atkins In
council meeting today. 1T looks
as though the mayors ordinances
was being ignored.
Yes" replied the mayor, Il
have a report that one of the
city cars took a number of wom-
en- up to the baseball grounds the
other day.
Il want to say that I am sor-
ry to hear that public officials
are setting such an example. All
l want to say about IL now is.
that | hope these kinds of reports
will never come to my attention
again"
Commissioner Mills, against
whom the accusations were aps
parently made, since IL had been
reported that the police touring
car had gone to the baseball park
repeatedly, explained that he
would look into the reports inn
mediately."

Water
Dept.
Is Shy

Tacoma's water department
has spent $3.50 more during
the first six months of 1914 than
it predicted when the last bud
get was prepared, and the books
show an actual deficit of $14,-
O07.
These figures were presented
to the council today by Commits
sioner of Finance Atkins, who
reported that a big cut must be
made in the operation of the
city's water department, in order
to come out even with the fin
ances at the end of the year. In
augurating a crusade to cut ex-
penses, Atkins introduced a mo-
ton that an ordinance be passed
cutting out the construction de-
partment of the Green river wat
er system.
When the- ordinance Is passed
IL will eliminate the Jobs now
held by Chief Engineer j. G. Man
ley and Assistant Engineer Paul
s. Steele, each getting $3.50 per
month. Manley has already ten
dered his resignation.

Although by his victory over Dave
Smith in Australia Saturday Jimmy
Clabby has been proclaimed as the
middleweight, light heavyweight and
heavyweight champion of the Antip-
odes, such high honors will not get
him anything where Smith and his
ability as a fighter are we'll known.
OF all the. apologies as a fighter,
Smith is perhaps in a class by himself
He doesn't know how to fight and
he can't even take a whipping. Cab
bys honors, as far as victory over
Smith is concerned, will rest easy on
his head. Jimmy. we know, is a
clever boy and well able to take care
of himself, but the fact that he won
from Smith in sixty seconds doesn't
enhance his reputation one bit in our
estimation.
