Local Questions Affecting Property
Ihere has been quite bit of api
tatlon regarding sewers and stree
improvements In various localitie,
where our folks own real estate. rs.
pecially relating to sewers. In some
parts OF the city lately built up the
sewers are badly needed. But the
cost OF putting in the trunk line is
so great In proportion to the value
OF the property to be benefited that
much opposition has arisen. Mayor
remnant and the council seemed 10
90 the fair thing when they placed
the matter open for discussion at the
various Improvement clubs and omen
meetings for the people to express
themselves. The mayor was so i'm
! pressed by the arguments against do
ing this work at this time that he
changed his mind to some extent.
our folks ought to take more inter-
est IN these things which affect they
homes. In case such burdens are
placed upon the Improvement dis
trlcts to be created which they can
not carry, it is certain to cause the
loss of many homes.

Judge f. J. Hackett, genial oc.
cupant of Tacoma's police court
bench, expects to make a strong and
successful run for the Superior judg-
ship now held by +. ID. Hodge. Judge
Hackett was born in Iowa and came
to Tacoma after completing his edu-
cation and teaching three years. The |
judge has been very fair in his deal |
lngs with persons of our group who |
have come before him for various
causes, and has shown no manner of |
color discrimination He has served |
as clerk under Judges Arnston. Ora
ham, Evans and Magill. On the
death of Judge Graham he was. APP
pointed justice of the peace by, the
county commissioner to fill the un,
expired term and Mayor Riddel made
him police. Judge. He has been re-
elected three times. We feel thatl
Judge Hackett should make a good
Superior Court magistrate and that
he will give the people SERVICE. |
