Many Friends.

service with the San Antonio Public
Service company last week. For l.
years he acted in the capacity of con-

NOT RAISED

Changing the charter proposed will not
of itself increase taxes, neither will the COM
1nissoners of their own volition have the right to
do so, for this reason:
Under the charter, if amended, the rate for
general purposes can in no event exceed S1.25
per $4,000 valuation This limit has already
been reached the commissioners may themselves
reduce this rate, but cannot increase it. The re-
naming S1.00 the same as now can be used
only for special purposes meaning interest and
sinking fund on the bonded debt. The bonded
debt cannot be increased except by vote of the
property tax paying voters first had. Therefore,
unless tax payers vote to increase the bonded
debt, the tax rate for special purposes cannot
be increased.
In other words, it is up to the tax payers
themselves to say whether taxes made high
err or not. If the charter is amended the effect
will only be to allow tax paying voters to issue
sufficient bonds for public improvements. AS it
now is they have not the power to do so.

An Architect 5000 Miles Away

The trustees of the Community Hotel company doubt
less could do awfully good job of building SECOND
hotel if they to have the task They would be able
to profit by their Hotel Olympic mistakes.
In making this comment The Star does not intend any
and does not infer any harsh criticism The ho
tel board has made mistakes, several important The
members mostly recognize that this is true and do
ing what they to remedy the errors.
Probably any like committee of Seattle citizens put up
against the intricate and unfamiliar task would have
made mistakes just serious and just numerous.
Hence there is occasion whatever for censurng these
men, rather is there for expressing appreciation
Of their hard work and recognition of the fact that after
ALL getting the much-needed community hotel
built on generous, adequate scale.
Nevertheless it would be foolish for Seattle to ignore
the mistakes. Rather it will be the part of wisdom to
study them so that in future community undertakings
they will not be repeated.
One of the first major bunders was in the selection of
architect firm of national reputation retained
Its headquarters in the East most of its practice
in the East Its ideas Eastern The result was that
it designed Eastern type of hotel specifying materials
and types Of construction that eminenty suitable
there but not desirable here And being in and of the
East the architects not in the close consultation
with the trustees that would have worked for the best re-
suits The trustees in fact did not the specif-
cations, The Star IS informed by of the members
until after the contract let Hence number of men
that board who rank high construction work had no
opportunity to give the enterprise the advantage of their
special knowledge at time when it would have done the
most good
