FARE
FIGHT ON
IN COURT
Especial to The Tlnes.)

OLYMPIA, March 29.-The
move of the Tacoma Railway &
Power Co. to knock out its con-
tracts and franchise obligations
to the city OF Tacoma as we'll as
to force the public service COM
mission to establish increased car
fares was being fought out be-
fore the state supreme court
here today.
City Attorney U. E. Harmon
represented Tacoma. Attorney
General Tanner represented the
public service commission, while
Attorney Scott z. Henderson of
Tacoma represented Chairman
Blaine of the commission, who
has taken sides with the street
car company.
The case has aroused wide in
terest in other cities of the state,
and attorneys from Seattle, Bel
lingham and Everett attended.
The T. r. & P.'s argument was
that the state has the power to
set aside city ordinances and
franchise contracts inasmuch as
the city is the creation Of the
state.
In the car-fare question, the
company contended that altho
there is a scent street car fare
section of the state law, it is
nullified by another provision of
the law which says the public
service commission shall Elk rea-
sonable rates"
Answering this, Attorney Gen.
eral Tanner and City Attorney
Harmon pointed out that the s.
cent fare section was passed last
by the legislature and therefore
supersedes the reasonable rate"
section.

POSITION
OF T.R. & P

Breaking a long silence over
the street car bond issue, Mana
ger Louis Bean of the Tacoma
Railway & Power Co. issued a
statement Friday in which he de-
clared that the $4,50O,0O0 figure
fixed by the city as tentative
purchase price for the railway
was much too low.
Bean explained that the COM
pany's silence over the munici-
pal street railway question should
not be construed as assent by the
company that il wished to sell.
Beans Letter.
eve have been silent on the
question of the proposal to
purchase the street railway lines
within the city limits of Taco
ma, for the reason that we do not
wish to appear as attempting to
influence the action OF the voters
either one way or another.
I'm view of the fact, however,
that the city council has arbi-
trarily set a figure of $4,5O0,0O0
for the purchase of certain
property not fully and definitely
designated, we feel that silence
on our part might be construed
by the public as an assent to the
purchase of all property used
and indirectly in the op-
GRAFTON of street railway lines
within the city of Tacoma for
that amount. This is to advise
the public that such is not the
case.
1.-THE entire property of the Ia
coma Railway e. Power Co. and
Pacific Traction Co. within the
city limits has value much in
excess of this figure.
Respectfully,
TACOMA RAILWAY & POWER
COMPANY.
