Tacoma Debt
Not So Bad
Per Copitu Figure
Less Thon Seuttle

Individual citizens of Tacoma
and Spokane are infinitely better
off than those of Portland and
Seattle because they owe so much
less per capita on municipal and
school bonded debts, Controller
swayxe concluded Tuesday from
studies he has just completed.
Analysing a pamphlet Bonded
Debt OF 272 Cities" Swayze found
that the Tacoma per capita net
debt is only s2s.22 compared with
S64.3o at Portland and s6ss3 at
Seattle. These figures apply only
after excluding municipal public
utility bonds outstanding.
Tacoma Is shown to owe Si2,-
el4.e45 in bonds outstanding as
of Jan. 1. 1910. for general city
improvements. public schools and
public utilities
Utilities Is Greatest
On the same basis, Spokane
owed Ss,32s. 900 fhaving no ex-
tensive utility debit; Portland.
s37,7l7.5o1; and Seattle s73,4s7,-
600.
OF Tacoma's total debt, however,
the utilities represented the bulk
--SQ.s7l, AS. almost entirely water
department and light department
issues. Spokane's chief debt item
was s2.25e.000 for general i'm
provements and therefore an obli-
CATION on property within the city
rather than upon utility earnings.
Portland's total debt was made
UP Of s17.543.e57 general, S5,14s.-
544 schools and $l5.055, 900 utility.
Seattle's bill, almost double Port
lands, included $15.s49.0 900 gen.
eral; s7,712.o0o school and s4e,-
s2e, 700 utility. The bulk Of Seat
ties utility millions yet unpaid
are for her Skagit power plant
and street railway system.
Sinking Fund Large
Against Portland's debt was
credit for a large sinking fund
amounting to s6.2s9,o to pay
for general obligation issues.
Neither Tacoma. Spokane or Seat
tie show any appreciable sinking
fund reserves.
Excluding utility bond issues
outstanding. Tacoma was shown
TO have a net bonded debt of
&3.014, 6SS: Spokane. s2.749,090;
Portland. sle.405.4s4; and Seattle.
SIS. 335.s60.
Swayze concluded from these
that Tacoma Ia in a relatively
favorable position financially.

All Is Milk and Honey

By JOHN LARDNER,

special correspondent OF Inc otal,
NEW YORK, June II (NANA).
Leo Durocher is a hustler and a
pretty sound baseball guy. but I
would not blame certain members
of the industry, such as Casey STEM
gel and Max Carey and Burleigh
Grimes, if they argued that Mr..
Durocher also is shot with luck and
crawling with four-leaf clovers.
Leo the Lip dropped into the Flat
bush management at exactly the
right time. His job is not velvet
from top to bottom, but it is very
plushy, indeed, compared with the
seat occupied in turn by Mr.. Carey,
Mr. Stengel and Mr.. Grimes, who
picked up nothing but splinters.
Mr.. Durocher came along In the
reign of Leland Stanford MacPhail,
in the new era of bright lights, fast
money and smooth, if loud, eff
cheney. What help Leo needs he
gets, sooner or later. He is field
boss to an extent that Carey, STEM
gel and Grimes never were, and
what is more the front Office some
times gives Mr.. Durocher gentle
hint of what it plans to do with his

New Airport Swimming Squad
Threat to Veteran Outfits
In Big Summer Program

A brand-new swimming rivalry,
in the making since last year, will
be waged in Washington this sum-
mer, with the Airport Pool squad
challenging Shoreham for the king
pin position.
To A. Earl Weeks, scholarly chair
man of the A. A. U. Swimming
Committee, it means only one
thing-one of the biggest tank sea-
sons in recent years. And the boys
and girls will have four major meets,
including the annual District cham
pionships, in which to fight it out
for supremacy.
Dates assigned thus far are: July
IS swimming and 20 diving at
Airport Pool; July %, East Potomac;

Boys Club Helps Swimming.
Weeks attributes much of SWIM
ming's increasing popularity TO
feverish activities at the Southeast
Branch, Boys Club of Washington,
where Max Rote is teaching them
the dog paddle almost before they
can walk. 1t is possible that the
club will carry off one or two IN
divldual championships this sum-
mer, but as whole its personnel
appears too youthful to sneak off
with the team laurels.
