Seattle Washington, November /, 1918
Honorable Ole Hanson
Seattle, Washington
Dear Mr. Mayor:
1t is perfectly evident to that some solution of the
transportation difficulties of this city must be reached
promptly
Without giving any analytical consideration to the prob
lem-as to whether the city would make or lose money
the purchase of the traction facities-we convinced
that the service required cannot be complied with by the
present Traction Company at it's franchise rates. and the
larger and controlling factor the necessity of adequate
service not only now but in the future development of
the CITY,
There also no doubt our minds that the price pro-
posed pay the Traction Company reasonable adj
ustment of this kind could be under the circumstances,
and is not to be disputed either that it undoubtedly
good bargain for the Traction Company considering the
comparatively short life of their franchise.
We agree with you further that the citizens can afford
pay for commensurate service and this will promote
prosperity their behalf preference to continued dcker
ing and restricted service which will evidently be copul
sorry under the operation of the traction facilities by it's
present owners
May we be permitted to compliment you on your dill
gence in behalf of the municipality in effectng this
rangemen The facts stated to of the transaction
evidently mutually equitable
We also convinced that in the future development of
the city the physical value and potential earning capacity
warrant the assumption that the price of fifteen million
dollars is not eXOrbitant for the value received

members in Seattle
