BY the city council Monday.
What the Transit Co. will get

The original arrangement was
that the city, with WPA help,

psny provided 1892, 700. the esti-
mated cost. In addition back
log" fund of $4,000 was deposited
IN a local bank. The city could

Works Commissioner Bergersen

IS remainder indicates. The
company also will get back two
used trucks which were bought
6y the city out of company funds
for use on the project.
Only two short sections of rails
remain, Bergersen said. One is on
Mckinley ave, the other DeLin

Protests Rising
Rents in Tacoma

A protest against rising rents in
Tacoma was carried TO the city
council Monday by State Rep.
Edward L. Pettus and a commit
tee representing old age grant
recipients and mothers receiving
state aid for dependent children.
Pettus said rent rises seem to
be highest in the low rent groups
and that to widows with children
they are becoming impossible to
meet
Mayor Cain confessed the city is
in a dilemma. but reminded Pettus
of the Defense Housing commit
tee, which he said is trying to
meet the problem. Cain said a
special subcommittee has been
charged with the problem of rising
rents. Other than that, though,
he said. local authorities can do
nothing.
As a local authority" he said.
I'VE can only constitute ourselves
a grievance committe and pass on
our information TO federal authori-
ties who have power to act"

Hylebos Bridge
Repairs Ordered

Authority to start Immediately
on repair Of sinking Hylebos
bridge, either by city labor or
cost-plus contract. was granted to
Works Commissioner A. r. Ber-
gersen Monday by the city eoun-
Gil.
A special maintenance resolu-
ton was passed, providing the
spending of up to $4,000 TO stop
the slow settling which apparently
Is taking place on the east APP
proach.
Bergersen said his engineers
still cannot determine the exact
cause Of the settling. but expected
to get a diver at work inspecting
the piling some time Monday.
As a preliminary measure. he
said. a 7s-foot pile was driven be-
side the approach Saturday and
sprung into position under the
bridge. He said ii was the under
standing that the piling right next
TO IL was only SIS feet eight inches
long.
The plan is to drive new. long
piling. to be certain IL reaches
solid bottom, and jack the bridge
approach up TO its original level.
The slight settling hat brought
hand rail joints on the approach
together where they should be
separated.
Logging companies, forced not
to use the bridge when the coun-
Gil established a "a 900 pound load
limit last week, have begun using
the old detour again. At their own
expense they have hauled in logs
and built a span they can trse over
the place where the fill was cut
through recently by court order
