quired in constructing and main
tanning the project will solve the
unemployed problem of this COM
munity.
The tract of land in question is
covered with a network of high
ways which has cost the county
in the neighborhood OF 100000 a
year to improve and maintain for
the past three years. The use of
these roads by the public would
not be materially impaired. The
war department would relieve the
county of the expense of maintain
ing these roads, and following its
practice, would keep them in bet
ter condition than the county
could afford.
We believe that the location oil
this project will bring about such
rapid increase in the wealth and
prosperity of the county that the
assessed valuation will be doubled
in a comparatively few years SO
that every PERSONS taxes will
actually be lower and not higher
because OF the bond interest.
In conclusion We wish to call
the attention of the voters to the
remarkable community spirit
shown by the citizens of this
county. Men and women from
every station in life are giving
freely of their time. Printers
and stationers are donating post.

BY E.. A. Peters

Tacoma is being inspected,
classified and card indexed this
week. And the cops are doing it.
For the first time in the city's
history, Tacoma police officers
are making a complete inventory
Of every public or semi-public
building inside the municipal
walls.
And all the data collected by
these officers is being placed in
alphabetical index cases at the
central station.
This innovation, which started
Jan. 1 on order of Chief Harry M.
Smith. is one of the metropolitan
police ideas of the new police
head.
When the index is once COM
pleted-although it will be chang
ing in details from day to day
any police officer can at a glance
tell how many rooms there are in
certain building, where the exits
are located, who the owner and
tenants are, and the character of
the place, morally or otherwise.
Collect Much Data.
Each officer is supplied with
numbers of cards, 6x4 inches in
size, on which he puts the follow
ing information regarding each
building in his district: Address,
occupant, telephone of occupant,
nature of business, location of ele-
Of hnr
of floors, location of stairs, own
er, owners phone, owners address
and name of inspector.
Each officer will be expected to
inspect every building on his beat
at least once a month. In this
way, in case of fire, he will be
familiar with exits, stalrways and
elevators, and will be able to as
sist occupants in escaping safely.
Many Uses For IL.
II the owner of downtown
building forgets to lock his doors
at night, the police will have his
telephone number, and can notify
him at once to lock up.
The city index will prove valua-
BILE in a hundred different man
ners. Chief Smith intends to keep
his policemen rotating from one
district to another so that in few
months they will all be acquainted
in detail with the entire city.

every bit of knowledge of this
kind that II can obtain" said

TO THE VOTER:

III L I1n WI EN-.
In order that you may have
full Information about the twenty
year bonds, the issuance of which
we are requesting you to author
ize at the special election to be
held next Saturday, We are enclos-
ing data which treats the subject
from many different angles.
We. as county commissioners,
were kept advised during the
progress OF the conferences which
finally resulted in the PROPOSE
ton stated in the letter OF the Sec
rotary of war, hence we had am
pie time to make an Independent
investigation of the question
whether the county should borrow
this amount of money and secure
the land.
We found that conditions were
such that 1t would be impossible
to secure the location of the
project at the American lake site
unless the land should be donated
to the federal government. 1t is
sufficient to say that IL We were
not positive on this point we
would never consent to asking
the electors to authorize the coun-
ty to borrow the money needed.
AS county officers it is our
duty to look ahead. We found
that IL Is the opinion OF military
authorities OF the United States,
that the state of Washington. in
the region of Grays Harbor, offers
the best landing place for an in
vading army on the Pacific coast
And Pierce county, because of its
seaport city Tacoma, would be the
first point Of attack. Therefore
when the opportunity was present
ed to Pierce county to have this
large part of the standing army
of the United States within Its
borders; to have the state militia
trained on the very ground to be
defended; to have its citizens re-
ceive their military training almost
without leaving their homes in
case universal military training
should be adopted, 1t became the
highest duty of the county, which
would receive SO many special
benefits, to do its share by giving
the site.

nance of buildings for housing not
less than $1,000 soldiers and nee
essary equipment would be done
