FIGHT over
ATKlN s. CAR

A bitter fight is anticipated in
the city council Wednesday, when
Commissioner Atkins ordinance
calling for the purchase of a three
ton motor truck, truck attach
ment and a private car for his
own use, comes up for final &C
ton.
Mayor Fawcett has already an
nounced that he would refuse to
vote for the ordinance. At least
two other commissioner are said
to have declared their opposition
to it.
mot only does Atkins not need
a machine at this time, but he
doesn't need a third motor truck, I"
said Fawcett Monday HE is
spending all his money on trucks,
when he ought to be using it for
repairing pavement. Such extra
vagance is especially offensive
during these war times, when the
city should economize."
Atkins pointed out Monday the
fact that previous commissioners
have always had a private car for
inspection work.
THE other car was in such
bad shape that couldn't get
more than 500 for 1t in a sale. -
he said. But / traded 1t in on
a truck recently, and got $500
credit for It. There has always
been a car for the commissioner,
and there certainly is use for it."

Saving Daylight

EDITOR The TIMES:
have been reading about 1.-THE
Daylight Saving Plan" you have
been advocating very highly in
your paper, and / think aims
worth Ave" answered 1t right, and
explains the object better than
any | have read; that is, 1t gives
the employer an hour longer for
recreation in the evening. Almost
everybody that makes garden
knows that one hours work in the
morning will benefit the garden
more than two hours in the even
ing and those that have the am
bition to raise a garden are up in
the morning and working at 1t
before breakfast, so why would
you try to take that hour away
from the laboring man and give 1t
to his employer?
Then, il the object is to get
the working man home one hour
earlier i'm the evening, why do not
the employers give the men an
|eight-hour day and then they
would have in most cases two
hours more in the evening.
In place of putting the burden
on the employees, let the employer
take some of 1t. Under your plan
there would not be as much work
done as there is now in the gar
dens. The man that depends on
his hands to make living don't
need any moving the clock ahead
to get them out at daylight; only
the dead ones need that.

- IL the morning is the best
time for working i'm the gar

man from doing IL after the
clocks have been moved up an

And are employers any
more able to enjoy long
evening, filled with sunset
lights, than employees? II the

DRUG RECORD
FAILS TO AID

A careful check of every drug
store In Tacoma, made by police
detectives, has failed to bring to
light the identity of a dog poison
er who is scattering poisoned meat
about the city.
Although strychnine has been
used, and more than 100 dogs
have been killed, police reports
show that the amount of strych-
nine sold here during the past
weeks is below normal.
Every person purchasing poison
is forced to register his name and
address with the druggist. These
names are all being investigated.
