NO INQUEST IN
DEATH LIKELY

A coroner's inquest into the
death of six-year-old Jack Beer
Monday afternoon on So. 66th st.
appeared unlikely Wednesday.
Deputy Prosecutor G. E. (Jim)
Peterson, after interviewing many
witnesses to the accident, in
which the boy was struck by two
automobiles, said he was satisfied
there was no possibility of GRIM
inal negligence.
Coroner T. H. Long was of the
same opinion.
The six-year-old WAS hit by a
car driven by Father Gerald r.
Desmond, "a, of st. Martins COL
lege and thrown under another
car, driven by NJ. o. Rudd, 81
year-old attendant at the Western
State hospital at Steilacoom. He
was dead by the time he reached
the county hospital in the police
ambulance.
Witnesses agreed the boy had
jumped into the path of Father
Desmond's car only Is to 20 feet
in front of it. Peterson said.
The young victim was the son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank L. Beer
of $3.50 So. Madison st.

Ok Bow Pin
Much of Tacoma's history has
centered on Pacific ave." said
Vice President Jennings. land we
are very happy to be taking part
in a new chapter. That history
stretches back to days of SO years
ago when the dust and mud of
pioneer days gave way to the first
plank surface, when the hardware
store upon which my business was
founded was selling such oddities
of our times as OK bow pins, be-
cause OK teams then were being
used in logging operations on the
hill just a few blocks west of here.
TT happens that I've got some
of those old steel OK bow pins In
stock today and occasionally we
sell one or two for some modern
purpose to which they may be
adapted. But nobody manufactures
them any more. Stocks Of all
merchandise have to be kept up to
their times; that is q rule that
applies just as truly to public
streets and it is gratifying to the
merchants of today, now doing
business on Pacific ave-. to know
that passing our door now on
fine up-to-the-minute pavement,
modernly lighted. are vehicles Of
today. No more horses and bug
gies and spring wagons. no more
interurban trains and rafting
street cars-just a steady. quiet
flow of present day busses. auto
mobiles and pneumstic-tired trucks
swiftly going about the business
of today's transportation of men.
materials and merchandise"
Members of the committee were
unanimous In the opinion that Pa
cific ave. now is the finest business
street in the west.
AS merchants on Pacific ave,
we are proud of the new street
improvement and are pledged TO do
our best to give our patrons
services in keeping with the
modern. clean atmosphere of this
thoroughfare." declared Manager
Forbes. I'VE ask all Tacoma to
come down here Thursday. Friday
and Saturday and verify this as
surance."
Tacoma shoppers will take no
less pride than the merchants
themselves in finding this fine
newly constructed business street
a real inspiring factor in the eity's
commercial life" said II. ]. Nc
crsth OF the committee. Those
who are fortunate in conductinc
business along Pacific ave. will
leave nothing undone To keep this

this work as directed by the public
works department 80 that only
streets ready for improvement
would be torn up at any one time.
Wires. Poles Down
Except for perhaps 10 days
work, all overhead trolley wires
and poles have already been re-
moved from the entire discarded
street railway system, Bergersen
estimated. Further, the company
has removed rails and refinished
streets for 40 per cent or more of
its original 42.6 street-miles Of
trackage.
Where the company has taken
out its rails and resurfaced, we've
come out with some pretty patchy-
looking streets, lumpy and bumpy
especially on those old streets
originally paved with sheet as
phalt," Bergersen said. 1T feel
that the city can by contract or
otherwise do clean improvement
job that will put the remaining
carline streets in neat, smooth con-
dition.
Resurface Whole Street
ut would be our plan to refin-
ish the whole street surface rather
than just try to repave the track
area. which is all the company il
required to do.
Il don't know whether the COM
pany can finance the program I
have in mind, but If we can agree
on a reasonable figure fully pro-
tecting city interests, I'm sure
everybody will be much better
satisfied than by the system that
has been followed to date. It's
certain that some of the patch.
work done 20 far is unsightly,
rough and no credit to the com.
pany, the city or anybody else.
All Are Anxious
Many sections of the city are
in knockdown and dragout fight
to get their particular sections
put on the preferred list. BY
the program to one
year, we can come closer to satis-
flying all the communities.
There's q good deal Of work
yet to be completed before l will
have a basis for negotiations, but
the work is getting well on now"
