Many American Communities
Haze Donated Land for Posts

1t will be remembered that the
war department on March 3, 1905.
gave to the city of Tacoma the
fee to the property which is now
Point Defiance park.
Nine years before, the city had
been given the right to use the
property for park purposes, but
the act of 1906 transferred the
title to the city. -
How much do the people who
grudge the stony acres of the
American lake prairie to the Unit
ed States, think the Point Defiance
property is worth? Certainly few
loyal Tacomans would think of
accepting two millions for 1t.
And away back in the seventies,
the property of old Fort Stella
COON was given to the territory
for a hospital for the insane,
which stands there today.
The patients were housed for
some years in the old military bar
rack building.
How much would those who OBJ
ject to giving the government a
site for an army post, take for
the property which the govern
ment gave them at Steilacoom?
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1917-01-04

Here are the facts In reply to
the objection that there is no pre-
cedent for donating land to the
government for army purposes,
and that the United States should
buy the land II It wants 1t.
These statistics have been taken
from a war department report on
file in the public library.
The land for Fort Standish,
Mass, was coded to the United
States by the city of Boston in
1900. The city had already. in
1861, coded to the government
land for Fort Warren.
The land on which Fort Sumter,
South Carolina stands, was coded
to the United States by the state
Of South Carolina.

Practically all the city's surplus
electrical power will be required
by the American Nitrogen Pro-

The plant is the first to be es-

POST LARGER
THAN OTHERS

The immensely Of the American
lake army post idea is shown by
comparison with other army posts
in this part of the country. Fort
Lawton, near Seattle, has 600
men. Fort Wright, near Spokane,
has 600. Vancouver barracks has
100. The American lake camp
will have a minimum of $4,000
men and 670 officers. 1t will be
three times the size of the Presi-
dio at San Francisco.

It's Moral Phases

In the modern army. high moral standards
are held to be absolutely essential to army
efficiency. Our government Is deeply concern
ed to maintain an environment conducive TO
the soldiers higher well-being. We have the
fullest assurance on that point. The manage
ment of the post will be fully committed to
that policy
Their hearty cooperation with far-seeing
Tacoma citizens who confidently welcome the
opportunity to provide every protecting moral
influence, clearly amusments and clearly
sports and who already have initiated the
plans necessary to create these essentials, will
instill in both community and camp fresh
ensd determination to encourage right living
and to discourage ignorance and error. With
the cordial and helpful relationship which
these forces design to establish and with in
sistence upon the enforcement of our excel
lent state laws, both the exploitation OF the
soldier and the exploitation of the community
shall be prevented.

What the County Must Do

First, approve the bond Issue.
Then, proceed by condemnation by an i'm

Is the only means whereby the taxpayers may
be assured Of fair DEAL and all possibility
Of land speculation may be eliminated.
The exact tracts to be chosen will be desig-
mated by the wsr department at Washington,

military viewpoint.
II Is understood that tracts Of especial val
ne, because of improvements, fertility of their
soil. or other reasons. may not be acquired.

Financial Benefits to Community

1t is estimated that the establishment OF
such a station would mean the annual expend-
iture in this community Of not less than ST.
500,000 The immensely of this sum Is better
comprehended when It is understood that the
present retail trade Of Tacoma is less than
100000 year. To maintain the 1870
officers and men would require monthly ex-
penditure Of 100000 in pay, food, fuel. light
and forage. Temporary contonments would
require an initial expenditure of $1.500,000
for lumber alone, and an additional So
600, 900 for other materials and labor, largely
drawn from the civilian population.
The history Of army establishments would
indicate that these appropriations would in
crease year after year, and 1t is reasonable to
suppose that within the next 10 years sum
equal to s25, 000.000 would have been invest
ed IN permanent improvements.
Sixty per cent Of both the commissioned
and non-oommissioned officers are married,
and their families would further increase the
population Of the county.
To maintain this large increase the benefit
to the ranchers and producers can be realized
when It 10 understood that the army contracts
