CAPITOL. Olympia - The
bill which would return juris-
diction over city transporta-
ton affairs to Tacoma city
commission was filed in the
house today by Rep. Hugh j.
Rosellini, Pierce county.
Such authority now is exer-
cised by the state public serv-
ice department.
The current move originates
through John Siegle's controversy
with Tacoma Railway 4 Power
company over bus line service,
requests for line extensions and
additions and alleged over-crowd-
ing Of buses.
Siegie repeatedly has charged
that the state department will not
give the city satisfaction. In re-
ply, Public Service Director Ferd
Schaaf said last week the city
never has filed a complaint rela-
tive to the mayors charges, that
the department Is ready to act in
aid of the city whenever asked to
do so.s
The proposed law provides that
It shall be unIaw'fui 20 operate for

tanning a permit from the city,
and that the city commission shau
have exclusive power and juris-
diction to regulate all matters of
rates, fares, charges. rules, routes,
schedules and such other matters

Two years later a company was
formed TO take care of the light

hydro-electric plant had been con-
structed and incandescent lights
had been installed along the streets
and In some businesses. At this
time Tacoma's population was
somewhat in excess of $500, and
the total number Of lights was ap-
proximately 200. counting all types

Lowest Rates In L. =.
Tacoma's municipal electric sys-
tenn Is growing as rapidly now as
Is did In the early history men,

that electricity Is now practically
universal, the effect Is not quite
so apparent. Year upon year of
careful management has produced
an electric system that Is second

Not content with laurels already
won for maintaining lowest rates
