 Well. we have taken care of George. let's get down to the real city bust ness," said Dr. Barrett.
 He referred to the comparison made as to the cost of street Improvements in East Lake, Ensley and old Birming- ham and explained how the East Lake improvements were made. But this great municipal wizard has not ex- pIained to you why it was that Ensley let public improvement contracts cheaper than he did" he said.
 HOW MONEY WAS RAISED
 And speaking of bonds and interest and financing" Dr. Barrett continued. when East Lake was first incor- porated, when we had no money and no standing, as mayor I sold s2O 900 worth of East Lake 6 per cent bonds for $104 03, and I would like for MT, Ward to tell us if he ever got any such price as that for bonds during any of his administrations.
 And he defes me to prove that Exum, as president of the board of commissioners. and whom he succeed ed, ever borrowed money for the city at 3% per cent interest. without col lateral, as against his per cent with
 
 city as collateral.
 If Mir. Ward had studied the pro ceedings of the board of commissioners as assiduously as he has studied those of East Lake since I have been can didate he would know that on the 18th day of May, 1911, MT. Exum borrowed from the Birmingham Trust for tho city the sum of $5o0,00o at S% per cent: and that at the same time the American Trust offered to loan this amount at 4 per cent"
 pr. Barrett stated shat he was in ia vor of reducing the 5-mill sinking fund tax to whatever amount was necessary to actually pay the interest on the bonds and retire them when they ma tured.
 Chairman Moore stated at the con- ~clusion of pr. Barrett's speech that the Ward supporters would have a meeting Friday night in the inferior court- room, which would hold about SO peo-

SKAGWAY SHOWS
 PROGRESS

"Skagway has shown wonderful progress and improvements since I was here a year ago, and I am es- pecialIy pleased with the way your city is treating its tourist trade and fine hotel accommodations here" said j. L. McPherson, of the Alas ka Bureau of Seattle Chamber of Commerce this morning. MT. Me Pherson was a passenger on the Northwestern bound for Anchorage and the coal fields. He said that first class hotel accommodations in duce epople to stop off and see the country, all of which helps the trade and development of Alaska.
 It $ understood that MT. McPher- son will look into the coal situa- tion and the possible relief for the lack of fuel on the Pacific Coast and in Alaska. He said that of all countries Alaska should be the last to import coal, and that instead of developing only a few mines in the fields there should be many mines developed on a large scale.
 MT. McPherson says that the |, w. W. situation in the coast states is alarming, but predicts that before the war is over the work ingman will realize the hindrance of the organization and stamp it out.
 Foreign shipping of Seattle at the present time surpasses that of San Francisco, declares Mr.McPher- son, and Seattle in a short time will employ more than 10000 in its ship yards. Seattle now ranks at the top among the ship building cities of the United States.
