COUNCIL TO PASS
PHONE ORDINANCE

Bowing TO the win of a unanI-
nous public sentiment at the 18th
hour. the city council today
agreed to vote tomorrow in favor
OF Mayor A. v. Fawcett's new
telephone ordinance. cutting
phone rates in Tacoma by one
third.
But the apparently well-timed
submission of the commissioners
was not without it's last-minute
cunning effort to defeat the bill.
Commissioners Atkins, Woods
and Mills. who had been named
by Mayor Fawcett as a commit
tee TO investigate the public's de-
mands for lower telephone rates,
made an official report today. The
report said that the commissions
ers would vote for the passage OF
the mayors ordinance tomorrow II
an amendment were attached per-
hitting the city to make survey
at any time of phone conditions
for the purpose of further equal
izing rates.
But the report did not specify
when the survey should be made.
The council could have ordered a
survey inside of six months, de-
eide that the new phone rates
were too low and put the former
rates back into effect.
Mayor Fawcett saw the Joker"
In the report almost before Clerk
Nickeus had finished reading the
document. He announced that he
would bring In an amendment,
calling for survey every five
years. The commissioners, real
izing that their little trick had
proven ineffective. calmly ac-
cepted Fawcett's suggestion and
voted for 1t.
BY putting themselves officially
on record today, Commissioners
Atkins. Woods AAd Mills are
bound to vote for the ordinance
tomorrow, on final passage. Drake
will probably vote with them,
making the franchise ordinance
unanimous.
The new rates. specified In the
franchise, must remain in effect
for five years before the city can
make survey, and, IL DESTROYS,
make further changes in rates

And One That VIII be Remembered
81 Weeks In the Year.

When you cannot find the right
kind of a Christmas gift to send to
your friend who resides out of town.
we suggest that you send them a
years subscription to the Public
Opinion. In all modesty We can
truthfully say that there are many
who appreciate and enjoy it fully as
much as they would some token that
would cost You many more times
than the paper.
Take, for instance. your friends
or relatives in, a distant state who
once lived in or near Decorah and
who retain fondness for old &C
quaintances. Don't you think they
would find much satisfaction and get
a great deal of pleasure out Of read
ing copy of the Public Opinion once
week during the coming year?
And wouldn't they be grateful
to the person who was thoughtful
enough to send them the paper?
If you want to make gift thai
will be enjoyed during the entire
twelve months Of the year, a sub
scription to the Public Opinion is thI
thing. And then, too, it is not ex-
pensive.
