Practical Town Promotion.


The question IL often asked. what
practical things can be done to ad-
vertise our town.
In some places the citizens wear
booster buttons except when
they go out Of town where the ad-
vertising might do some good.
Some towns talk write-ups In
trade papers. II these periodicals
have real circulation this should
have value. frequently the circu-
lation is confined to people who
buy the write-ups.
In some cities business men print
cuts OF local scenes on their cores
pondence envelopes. But you can't
make town seem attractive merely
BY u PHOTOGRAPH OF the brick walls
OF some factory. You need to show
pleasant streets. attractive build
ings. trees and other foliage, to give
some impression OF taste and civic
self respect.
Statements OF a towns advan-
tages are often circulated on letter
heads and envelopes. These are 80
detailed that few people read them.
sull they help the citizens OF q town
to respect their own achievements
Many towns display u town slogan
at the railroad station.
These notices are often boastful
and impossible. II they concentrate
In u phrase some real service the
town is rendering. the idea is ex.
cellent.
Campaigns for new industries are
common. These are hopeful where
the citizens are willing to devote
time and money to the effort.
All these ideas are good II vel
handled. But the most effectiv,
method is the cultivation OF town
spirit. Some places are fun ol
people who always disparase theil
home place. They think this show,
that they are persons OF fine dis
elimination. This attitude repeli
twould-bc-resIdents. and discourage'
home enterprise.
h IN other towns the citizens taxi
al possible occasion 10 speak wei
OF their own community. The!
commend It's schools. churches. 30
cial life and business push. The!
send away programs Of entertain
ments. pictures Of attractive scenes

More About se.,,le Lish. Plant.

What Mayor. Gill has to say about
mismanagement OF Seattle light
plant:
Under this theory OF outside ex-
tensions there Is no reason why the
city OF Seattle should not engage In
any other commercial business and
conduct grocery stores, dry goods
stores and other profit making con-
Germs.
III l believed in this theory I be-
lieve l should have the courage Of
my convictions and announce myself
to be Socialist. pure and simple.
"All there is embodied In this bill
Is pure socialism and opportunity
given to settle the grudges of certain
persons arising from real or imagin-
ary grievances against u private cor
poration.
Contrary to the statements OF
Councilman Erickson the lighting
plant was not built from the pro-
ceeds Of the plant. but from the pro-
ceeds OF several bond Issues, which
are lien against every foot OF prop
erty In Seattle.
Even though the lighting fund
has paid the interest on these bonds
up to the present time. there is no
assurance that such earnings will con-
tinue to do 80. particularly In view
OF the fact that the fund at the pres
ent time owes the general fund sew
eral hundred thousand dollars.
"The financial condition OF our
lighting department ut the present
time is due to gross financial mis-
management by It's councilmanic body
for the past three years.
"The council refused to comply
with the recommendation of former
Chief of Police Austin Il. Griffiths
and myself and light down town al
leys. giving as a reason that you had
no money. although you are now pro-
posing TO become wet nurse for su-
burban districts outside the city lin
Its. although far worse off financial
ly now than then.
II always have maintained that
the plant should seek fair return
on the money Invested and the
amount so earned expended within
the city Of Seattle to the end that all
our people should have light at the
lowest cost consistent with good
business management.
"Thc tax rate Of the city during
the past few years has increased al
u highly unprecedented rate and We
have nothing to show therefor es.
ccpt "a street car line which was not
intended to accommodate the public
and which did not even accomplish
the purpose of It's principal promo
ters Of harassing u private concern
