those cities unable TO furnish its
citizens with suitable means OF
disposition.

Az means of partial correction.
Cain said he had suggested 10
county commissioners they stop
selling tax delinquent land. He said
this encouraged people TO buy land
AT bargain prices and To make
their homes where suitable sewer
ace and other health necessities
were not available.
Cain said the city should be
thankful II hadn't had large fire
recently. because with present
equipment the fire department

He predicted in event Of biz fire
the department would lose 20 per

Water Dept. Not A. Good
While the light department was
IN excellent condition financially.
the water department could not
boast q similar status. according
10 the mayor. He said this con-
dition was due to IS miles Of
wooden pipe which have sprung
leaks. thus increasing the cost Of
operation.
The city hall was not overlooked.
II was described as being obsolete.
badly in need of repair. Other than
the roof Of the council chamber
caving in and the lack of adequate
ventilation system. Cain said the
building was sadly lacking in the
provision of fire proof vaults for

He also touched briefly upon the

Mayor Cain closed with the sue-
gestion Tacoma could be as good
