TACOMA and Pierce county
residents will greet with
much satisfaction announce
ment of a reduction in Mar
rows bridge tolls. The slash
in rates applies only to COM
muters. 1t will be welcome
nevertheless. Casual users of
the bridge will pay the orig
inal tolls. However, the indi-
viduals making daily use OF
the bridge, and who will pay
the freight" are entitled to
the reduction ahead of others.
1t is to be hoped that the
present splendid patronage of
the bridge will be continued.
In that event, further reduc-
tions will be in order. The
toll bridge authority policy is
that of charging rates that
Just cover the costs to be met.
This includes amortization of
the bonds. Volume of traffic
will control the rates. There Is
no idea of profit. Yet, bridge
users will never be satisfied
until the present rates, even
for casual users, is reduced.
The public is that way-and
rightly so.
CONGRESS- MAN JOHN

ANNUAL PENNY DRIVE FOR HOSPITAL OPENS
 HERE NEXT MONDAY

Beginning next Monday morning and until some time Saturday. May II. all Wrange11 people will be able to do their small or large part in the annual Penny Drive for the Se- attIe Children's Hospital, where so many Alaskan children receive sur gical and medical treatment each year. Beginning Monday morning there will be coin jars in several of the business houses on main street. The Jars can be recognized readily by the big red hearts bearing the words: The Children's 0rthopedio Hospital Penny Drive. Open Your Heart
 Open your heart ana help support the Seattle hospital in benefiting so many Alaskan children. A sum- mary of care given Alaskan child ren at the hospital during 1889 re- Yeals the fact that 10 children from 22 different Alaskan towns and vil- Iages received care for a total Of 5,575 hospital days an average of 139 days apiece The summary al- so shows that free care Of some Of those 40 children cost the hospital S4,4I463. The donations from AL aska totalled only S722.17, leaving a deficit of S3.692.46.
 Referring again to the coin jars the public is to understand that no donation is too small to be welcome. But, on the other hand, 10 one is to hesitate to drop into the coin jar a larger coin just because the drive is known as a Penny Drive.
 In order to swell the total dona- tions to the Penny Drive fund, the Elks will give a public card party on the night of Thursday. May g. There will be no admission charge but 50 cents will be assessed for refreshments. It is planned that most Of those present will play court whist but there will be tables in the front room for those who pre- fer bridge or pinochle. A contest will be arranged and for the prize Tony SchWamm of the Petersburg Air Service has offered a fifteen minute ride airplane ride.
