Mercury Soors
Over Mondays
Record for l94l

The mercury had climbed to
SO degrees at p. m. Tuesday,
breaking Mondays high mark of
ss4 degrees for l94i.
Not only was Tuesday the hot.
test day of the year. but IL Was
the hottest July Is in Tacoma on
record, according TO the weather
bureau. The thermometer hit 50
on July Is. 1888. but no higher.
and II was judged certain by the
weatherman that the mercury
would climb we'll over 50 before
the day wa. out.
The weather bureau here said
it would not be surprised To see
the mercury climb 10 90 degrees
or over. Temperature in the sun
on Pacific ave. was 100 degrees,
four degrees less in the shade.
II was cooler, for some reason on
Broadway-96 IN the sun, % in
the shade.
Mondays maximum was 1874
degrees, technically well be-
low the old records for the
same day - July IL which
twice In local weather history
has produced 90 degree marks:
1906 and 1928. II seemed
worse than that on the down
town sidewalks.
Rare indeed for this part
Of the country. the heat held
on through the night with an
official "a degrees at mid
night. The minimum for the
- hour period, n &c degrees
at 5 n m. Tuesday, WAS the
highest minimum for Tacoma
In years.
The highest temperature pre-
viously during this year Was -
degrees on June Il. but that mark
went down into the discard around
2 o'clock Monday afternoon with
an average pickup Of better than
a degree per hour until the high

political tragi-comedy now on

Our Chamber of Commerce
has not been alert to the pos

emanating from our nelghoor-
ing metropolis.
Her. are seattls's mayor ana
eouncilmen populating nos'slries
In three counties. Yet these tas.
travelling dignitaries have not Ia
vored Tacoma with SO much AZ
halt for hot dog.
From rocky Maine to rainy can

have garnered publicity for thef
home town.
They have turned the spothgh'
on a Cascade mountain inn, no,els
IN Mt. Vernon, Renton and Botheii,
Vashon and WILDLY islands, ana
various golf and country ciuos'
but nary visit to Tacoma nave
they paid.
Our Hotels association should do
something.
Our Winthrop or Olympus
or Tacoma can supply rooms
in which they can guarantee
no one will have TO vote on a
choice for police chief.
Our caravansaries, l am sure,
can promise Mayor Millikin a com
plete rest cure, or cold as severe
or a leg as game as the munic'-
pal exigencies of any given oay
might make desirable.
To the four Seattle couneilmen
who refuse to be tricked into at
tending meetings in their own
office, I say. Come to Tacoma
You can meet here, eat here ana
sleep here. Why not move mere
.for the duration" and resume
family life?
am sure Mayor Cain would at
times make our council chamber
available to you. One by one, IN
rotation, you might sit IN with
our council in place of that COM
missioner who seems to be allefglc
to our mayors national defense
administrative gatherings.
OF course. we wouldn't insist on
that. We realize that the more
prosaie aspects Of city business
have become distasteful to you
folks.
You can come TO Tacoma
and permit your councllmanic
minds to concentrate on abso-
lutely nothing.
In that manner, II Seattle AZ
fairs make it necessary, you may
thoroughly exhaust yourselves.
And our Tacoma doctors are
every bit as accommodating as
those you consult in Seattle. They
will prescribe complete rest for
very modest fee, indeed.
In fact, I'm sure our council,
by ordinance tnow don't finch,
YOU won't have to do the yoting),
would direct our city health off
'>xer to prescribe for you without
charge.
At any rate, counollmen,
come on over while you're at
leisure AID watch Tacoma
grow"
On second thought. the exertion
of watching won't be necessary.
You can FEEL this town ex-
panding.
We have 20 much tn do here
land we're doing III that a police
chief puzzle hardly causes ripple.
Even a police chief With a red
beard yes. we had one1 failed to
divert US from the jobs al hand
So come and see US.
We can promise you the biggest
and best Of anything here-except
the biggest and best Of headaches.
Seattle has that.
