metropolis.
In 1900. New York city had a
population OF s.4S5,.0.. and In 1898
tho population was estimated at
5.e3T.s?5. representing n gain OF
approximately 7e per cent
Assessed valuation Of real estate
in 1900 was APIS million dollars.
and in 1928 Il was 9.sso million. rep
resonting n gain OF over 25s per
cent. In other words. realty values
gained more than three times as
fast az the population.
This situation was, perhaps. due
in large measure TO tho strategic
position OF the city and the unusual
upbuiidlns Of adjacent territory. Tho
Il may prove little. II is at least
good evidence that Seattle. already

and distributing center. may be in

sKaGIT PROJECT

Seattle acquired the skagit site
in 1917, or five years before I be-
cana mayor. There seemed 10 be
an obstacle TO progress on this great
Sksgit project as well as to making
public improvements IN our city.
Therefore. j appointed n new en-
glneer. Mr.. J. d. Blackwell.
In making this change l naturally
lost some friends. but work started
on the Skagit Immediately and more
has been accomplished In the last 10
months than had been accom-
pllshed during the five years prior
10 my administration.
WHY SEATTLE Is PROSPEROUS
Public improvements that had
been ordered by the people were
started Immediately by Mr.. Black
we'll and several millions Of dollars
already In the bank. appropriated
for this work, was put into circuia-
ton. This relieved the unemployed
situation BY providing plenty Of
work.
This was the first contributing
cause to Seattle's prosperity. Fol-
lowing this. workingmen from the
mills. logging camps. fisheries.
mines and from OFF the seas. came
70 Seattle. They knew that Seattle
was clean and wholesome city and
they bring millions Of dollars in
here every year and this was the
second contributing cause.
Then came the fleet. which spends
two or three million dollars n visit.
and then the tourists Immediately
followed. Thus Il was that Seattle
became prosperous.
Capital and labor have worked In
harmony for the first time IN years.
Wages are higher than ever before

and ys.tn5 $50 In 1870. This shows
that. Notwithstanding our eity's IN
crease OF approximately 10000 IN
population. the cost OF operating our
city government was reduced III per
cent. as compared with 1871.
LIGHT PLANT
Our city light plant has 5000

 That the charter and ordinances of the city are now in the progress of revision, seems an assured fact, thanks to the energy of Mayor Chapdelaine and a committee of the common council and the public spirited co- operation of all of the attorneys of the city.
 Revision of the charter and espeei- ally the ordinances, is something that the Chamber has worked hard for dur ing the past year. We have hammered hardest on this question. President Vaughn appeared personally before the mayor and common council last January to urge that the revision be made. It Is a satisfaction Co the Chamber to see the work again under way.
