VOTERS WILL
DECIDE Fare
CONTROVERSY
Council to Place
M uny Railway
Issue on Ballot
in May
BY Bob Bermann

The people Of Seattle viii probably
be called upon May to vote on the
question Of whether the present five
cent street car fare Is TO be retained
and the deficit paid out Of the gen
eral tax fund or whether the old
eight and one-thlrd-cent fare shall
be restored.
This was the Informal decision ar
rived at Thursday by the utilities
committee OF the city council. I'M
mediateiy after the meeting. Chair
man Oliver T. Erickson went into
conference with Corporation Counsel
7. ]. L. Kennedy and began prepare
ton OF referendum ordinance 10
be introduced in the city council
next Monday.
The utilities committee took this
action as an indirect result Of the
clearing house associations an
nouncement that II would refuse TO
continue 10 cash municipal railway
warrants unless some means were
taken to meet the deficit which is
increasing daily.
ut is manifestly impossible to con-
.lnue operations as at present with
a f5,00O.a-day deficit" Chairman
Erickson told the committee. in
bringing the matter up.
He Suggested that an ordinance
following the general line OF the bill
prepared last year by Corporation
Counsel Kennedy be drawn Up and
submitted 10 the council at once This
bin would give the people an oppor-
tunity to vote yes or no on the aues-
ton:
III the Scent fare results in a def
icit. shall the city council be author
lied to provide funds to liquidate this
deficit from the general tax fund.-
Councilman John L. Carroll OPP
posed the plan on the ground that he
was against any step which would
add TO the present high taxes. and
Councilman A. Lou Cohen voiced the
objection that the people had al
ready voted on the question when
they turned down the Erickson s.
cent fare last year. Cohen also in
sisted that II any proposal be sub
mitted the people should be permit
ted to vote on both propositions
the scent and the s1-3 cent fares.
Councilman Phil Tindall and Mrs.
Henry Landes, However. came TO
Erickson's support and IL was finally
decided TO draw up the bill.
The principal difficulty In the prep
aration OF the bill seems to be legal,
as some OF the councilmen are OF the
opinion that the courts will refuse to
uphold any bill on this question.
IT is pointed out that the state
supreme court ruling on the cele-
brated Fourteen Taxpayers suit held
that no money could be taken from
the general tax fund for the opera
ton and maintenance of the niunict-
pal railway without vote of tho
people. According TO Councilman C.
b. Fitzgerald the people cannot ap-
prove such expenditures because
they have no authority 10 vote funds
out of the general fund
Councilman Erickson on the other
hand contends that by making Il
referendum bill the procedure is en-
tirely legal-that, in short. the coun.
ell would actually be voting tho
money, while the people would
simply be giving their approval.
The entire membership of the
council will probably hold an In
formal conference on the subject
Friday.
