The voters of Seattle last December declared
by their ballots for the principle of municipality
owned railroad belt line.
THEY GAVE THE PROPOSITION A MA
JORITY OF 10000 VOTES AT THE POLLS.
But enemies of the port commission, by bringing
false issues into the campaign, had planted
doubt in the minds of sufficient people to prevent
the necessary 90 per cent affirmative vote on
second proposition, to authorize the commission
TO transfer money for - project from special
building fund already voted, ands where the
money was not now needed The project,
therefore, failed tho having a majority vote.
Again, in the March election, it polled an easy
majority, but fell few short of the necessary 90
per cent.
The port commission, meantime, asked the
city council for franchise for the belt line. The
council granted the franchise. Mayor Gill vetoed
the franchise ordinance on grounds which Cor
poraon Counsel Caldwell, in an opinion to the
council, declared unsupported by the law.
