By E.. A. Peters

u
There is utterly no chance
for the city of Tacoma TO
forfeit franchises of the Ia
Coma Railway Il Power Co.,
as "a result OF the street car
strike.
Even tho the company
should remain inactive and
make no effort to resume
operation until employees re-
turned to work voluntarily,
the city could do nothing ef-
fectiyc.
This is the general opinion
of city officials, after an in
vestigation of the legal phases
of the strike.
Altho every franchise issued by
the city to the T. II. & p. Co. or
its predecessors plainly states
that the city shall have the right
of forfeiture of franchise rights in
case the company fails to operate
cars, the city's hands are tied so
tight that II can't do anything but
remain neutral in spite of the
most obnoxious conditions, it is
declared.
Couldn't Seize Tracks
After the city had forfeited the
franchises, If 1t took such action,
some other form of transportation
would have to be provided. The
law would not allow the city TO
seize the T. r. & p. Co.'S tracks
or ears.
1t would be necessary for the
city either to tear up +. r. & p.
tracks and replace them with
municipal owned equipment or to
grant franchises to a new COM
pany.
In either case, it would be many
months before the new line would
be ready for operation. In the
meantime, the entire city would
p be without transportation facili-
ties.
OF course, the city could pur-
chase the T. Il. e. p. Co.'S tracks
and rolling stock, if the T. r. &
P. Co. were willing to SELL
No Money Available
But-and 1t is the greatest
"but" of all-the city is utterly
helpless to spend any money for
new lines.
Tacoma's bonded debt is already
greater than the legal limit set
upon the city.
By no hook or crook, as far as
city officials can figure, can any
money be raised for building Or
buying street car tracks.
All the available money in the
only surplus fund at the city hall

NOT MUCH CHANCE THAT CITY WILL TRY

Way to Acquire Tracks
and Equipment

was taken when the council re-
Gently agreed to borrow $4,000
from the light and power reserve
fund for construction of the
municipal tideflats car line.
Because of the stone wall fac
ing the city on the street car strike
members of the council
have adopted policy of watchful
waiting.
Anxious to Arbitrate
Mayor Fawcett and the city
are ready and will
ing to do all they can to help arbi-
trate the differences between
street car men and the T. X. & P.
management, but they have no in
tention of trying to threaten the
company with franchise forfeiture.
City officials do not even want
to be quoted as to their position,
because they believe many per-
sons might misinterpret their at
titude and believe that their re-
fusal to act against he company
Nigh appear to be unfriendliness
toward the strike cause.

colors because they are proud of
the training that Is fast making
Uncle Sam lead in aircraft war
fare.
Look at the plan of the United
States army signal corps for its
aviation school flying fields.
Everything is included in the
training that will produce the best
flying men in the world.
Each field is half a mile long
and 400 feet wide. Included are
II hangers, each 120 feet wide
and &C feet long, a hospital, clul
house, school, postoffice, fouI
large barracks for cadets and en-
listed men, separate officers and
non-commissioned officers quar-
ters, additional barracks, repair
shops and other necessary build
ings.
All this excludes the expansive
field nearby, where lessons are
given daily by Uncle Sans ex-
perienced flying officers.
The whole field is a model for
order and efficiency in flying.

CAPTURE
GERMAN
VESSELS

Omitted Press Leased Wire.)
LONDON, July 17.-Capture of
four German merchant ships in
the North sea yesterday was an
nounced by the admiralty today.
The Germans did their best to
make off and two were damaged
by gunfire from the British boats
which sighted them.
The names of the captured ships
were Pelletorm, Brietzag, Marie
horn and Heinzbluniberg.
This is the second instance re-
Gently reported of German mer-
chant vessels being captured in
the North sea. Presumably these
ships were en- route to Scandina-
via for German supplies.
The recent falling off in Scan-
dinavian sailings, due to heavy
losses of ships and desire of ship
owners to save their vessels Ivy
keeping them in port may be fore
