Favor Commission
For Power Seiup

OLYMPIA A State Planning
Council report Monday urged that
a commission. rather than single
administrator. be placed in charge
Of the proposed Columbia power
administration.
Under a measure now before
congress, the secretary Of the in
terror would name a single ac-
rinistrator. This, according 70
the council. would increase delays
and permit decisions without con-
sidering the Northwest's view
points
The council declared better re-
cults would be obtained with a
commission named BY the presi-
cent and approved by the senate.

County Men
Ask Tax on
Public
Fight With Cities
In Legislature
Appears at Hand
INV Tacoma Times staff writer

tBy Tacoma Times >taff Nftfi
CAPITOL, Olympia = An
other stiff battle over at
tempts to tax public-owned
utilities was forecast here to-
day.
Promise of a renewed fight
to put over laws which would
bring Tacoma's City Light
and other utilities under the
state taxing system was re-
vealed when the Association
of County Commissioners
went on record in favor of
such a proposal.
The session last week at which
the program was put to vote
.resulted in approval Of moves to
tax real and personal property,
of public and private utilities on
the same basis
Pierce County Commissioners
John Schlarb. Guy Melton and
Robert Gleason attended the ses-
sion. Schlarb and Melton said
later they had voted for the pro-
posal. newly seated Commissioner
Gleasons vote was not revealed.
Seeks Revenue
The counties association hopes
passage of such a measure viii
provide more operating revenues.
County receipts are dwindling,
they say. because of the decline
OF assessed property valuations
and the withdrawal of property
from taxation-one ior factor
being the increasing exemptions
of public utilities due to public
ownership
The fight apparently will be
founded also on battles fought by
Seattle and Tacoma officials in
defense of light and water systems;
by Spokane's defense Of munich
pally owned water system and the
interest OF other cities in keeping
utilities off the tax rolls.
Battle Is Recalled
The fight promised TO be re-
newal of the controversy caused
at the last legislative session by
Gov. Clarence Martins utility-tax
proposal
That proposal was killed before
It ever emerged from committee
when the matter was aired by The
Tacoma Times, taking a strong
editorial stand against the PROPOSE
ton.
While battle-lines were being
drawn, it appeared the Associa-
ton of Washington Cities would
be in the front ranks of opposi-
ton to such a proposal.

world seemed stirring
Somewhere to the nor'east was the coast a
thin, gray line below the horizon. But it seemed
that we were a thousand miles from land and the
ship silent a tomb

wasn't too dirty; an American found on the beach
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1941-02-16

But Heaven help the ship which the Dismal
Sailor steers
The doom of those is sealed to whom the Phantom
Ship appears.
They'll never reach their destined port-theyH see
their home more
They who the Flying Dutchman-never, never
reach the shore.
John Boyle O'Reilly)
