BLUFF TO PUT.
REPLAT ACROSS

An effort to bulldoze the
county into accepting the
proposed replat of the Ash
ton tidelands, which would
bottle up the waterfront and
shut off public access to the
harbOr line, was apparent
Thursday afternoon.
Telegraph word from James M.
Ashton in San Francisco to get
quick action on the replat, and
reports spread broadcast of a
huge steel plant, involving mil
lions and millions of dollars, to
be located on the tideflats, were
hanging fire as the county COM
missioners met at 2 o'clock to
take action on the proposed re-
plat and to hear the protest of
interested property owners.
A concerted attempt, by means
of reports couched in vague gen.
eralities, was being made to make
the county commissioners and the
opposition believe that the discus
sion of the replat proposal is tying
up "a great big proposition" for
Tacoma.
One rumor had it that $22, 0O0,-
900 eastern capital back of a
great steel plant for Tacoma
would be tied up in case the re-
plat is not put through immedi-
ately.
The property owners commit
tee, consisting of Harry II. John
ston, Fremont Campbell, and
James Lawler, were prepared to
go before the commissioners to
insist that the only condition on
which the replat can be accepted,
will be the establishment of two
waterways, equal in area to the
dedicated streets it is proposed to
vacate, extending from the harbor
| line to the meander line between
18th st. and Lincoln ave-, to give
access to the waterfront.

plat is being tied, like q tin
