OWNERS OF Broadway ana
" st. Helens ave. property
or their agents should turn
out in force Wednesday at
the city council.
The council has called a
hearing on the question of
repaving both streets, from
7th st. through to jefferson
ave.
Actual construction might
be in progress now had it not
been for the unfortunate con-
fusion resulting from contend
ing representations as to type
of paving to be employed.
Instead of making a three
ring circus out of this affair,
why not get as nearly a
unanimous consent as possible
to a much-needed improve
ment, without any restric-
tons?
st. Helens and Broadway
constitute a major part of
Tacoma's retail trade district.
Firms occupying the build
ings have expended hundreds
of thousands of dollars in new
fronts and interiors in recent
years. Most of the frontage
is under profitable lease.
The more business done on
Broadway and ST. Helens ave.,
the more profitable rentals
will be; because shoppers like
to trade where conditions are
attractive.
Let owners and their
agents tell the council to go
ahead, call for bids and let a
contract. The shoppers will
pay the cost; they pay the
merchants, the merchants pay
, the owners. Let's end the
,, confusion and delay.
! EuRoPE's war is having
serious repercussions on
the Pacific Coast and par
ticularly the Pacific North
west. A serious shortage of
ship tonnage to carry our raw
products in intercoastal trade
has been known for months.
Now, some of the industrial
lists plan to do something
/ about it. Business interests
of the northwest are meeting
here today to prepare a cam
paign they hope will get Uncle
Sam awakened to the problem.
What is needed is more
boats. BY declaring an emer-
gency President Roosevelt
can get them out here through
the U. S. maritime commits
sion. The commission has
control of many government
ships that could be put in
trade here and relieve the
dock congestion that is al
ready very serious. Shippers
are unable to get tonnage
space and only limited dock
ing space. Net result is a
threat to close down many
vitality needed industries.
1t is to be hoped that ship
pers and industrialists meet
ing today can so present their
case that the president and
other federal officials con-
cerned will be prompted to
act, and to act in a hurry.
