LOAN TO
CARLINE

Whether the council is justI-
fled In voting the transfer of
funds from the light and water
reserve fund to complete inn
provements and provide addition
al equipment for the municipal
carline on the tideflats, was the
subject of a discussion, somewhat
heated at times, at the meeting
OF the council Thursday.
Commissioner Gronen emphat-
ically declared that the council
was not.
A resolution was finally pass
ed authorizing the council to
transfer $65, 900 from the light
and power reserve as a loan to
the Tacoma street railway fund.
Commissioner Gronen in vot-
tag mo-" declared that in the
absence OF more tangible state
ments regarding the prospects Of
the street railway he did not
think the council had the right
to vote the transfer into a fund
that paid a lower rate of inter
est than the money was drawing
In its present fund. The rate Of
interest, on Gronen's motion, was
increased from four to five per
cent.
Roy Harrison, commissioner Of
public works, introduced q
statement prepared by his de-
partment which showed that
there were 1885 men on the
payrolls In the shipyards and
mills on the tideflats, and esti-
mated a further increase OF H.
TOT was conservative estimate
by the next four or five months.
This extra traffic, urged Com
missioner Harrison, would more
than double the revenue of the
car line, and provide for the in
terest and ultimate redemption
of the $65, 900.
Commissioner Harrison also
called the councils attention to
complaint of city employees that
the bonds Of the last Liberty Loan
purchased by them were coming
to them with the coupons clipped.
Commissioner Shoemaker ex-
planned that many of the city
employees had bought these bonds
or longtime payments. while tho
city took them up as required ~
