"OIe" Hansen. the effervescent
mayor of Seattle, has been the
means of the President interesting
himself in the Capital Issues Com
mittee./
1t is presumed that had "Ole" not
come to town the President might
have forgotten entirely about this
hitherto unannounced and only
lately-Created body.
The story begins like this: The
private lighting company of Seattle
obtained the consent of the COM
mittee to issue additional securities
to take care of its increasing bust
ness. The permit was issued read
lily and the legal representatives of
the private company went back to
Seattle glad that they encountered
no trouble with what they thought
would be a hard board.
The city company soon made sim
liar application. But IT encountered
trouble from the outset. The COM
mittee appeared not to be desirous
OF extending permits to all such
concerns in Seattle, and the private
company having obtained the nee
essary grant the belief of the COM
mittee was that the city could wait
for its additional construction until
after the war ended.
"Ole" got the word back in Seat
tie and didn't like it. He entrained
for Washington soon afterward but
upon arrival here found the way
stony indeed to the committee
rooms-and the looks of the COM
mitteemen stonier. indeed. when he
came to make his request.
He was about to become disgust
ed when he reported his troubles to
