ence to the many lawsuits attempt.
Ing to clear the Renton tangle.
From reliable sources IL has been
learned that Corporation Counsel
Bradford said the Renton company
would be able to collect damages
from the city--seyeral hundred
thousand dollars. and that the pub.
lie service commission would grant
the company increased rates. and
that the case now pending In the
supreme court would not be- settled
for years.
Rainier av. cannot be improved
until the case Is settled. In view OF
all this the city would be justified
in acquiring the railway on any
kind of reasonable terms.
The road is being operated this
year for S. per cent, and the city
can. therefore. undertakes to pay IS
per cent annually TO the company
out OF the total receipts. This mat.
ter should be left largely with the
people OF Rainier valley. as we will
have to pay the bills.
