ALLCOOD HITS
At BELT LINE

Declaring that the city owned
and operated belt line Is definitely
stiIl IN the red Clint J. Allgood.
candidate for commissioner of
public utilities. speaking before the
members Of the Arlington Improve
ment club Monday night. made an
issue Of the lines operations.
Allgood said that since the city
purchased the belt line from the
government in 1918 not only had
the bonds for the total cost of
$4,000 not been paid. but like
wise neither had the interest
charge amounting to $3i1, 900 been
paid.
The city belt line bonds were
supposed to have been paid in jan
uary, 1884, but were in default, yet
the department shows the bonds
as assets of the department at the
fun face value" Allgood asserted.
Tacoma can reasonably expect
a great tourist travel in 1910, and
1t should be possible for us to get
many Of the tourist dollars, but we
must give tourists at least the i'm
preston Of a beautiful city," he
said. I'VE cannot have a beautiful
city without plenty of water for
our homes and yards. We cannot
do that with enforced use of water
meters; we have plenty of water
and If we need more we can get
it," he declared.
