P. built @ branch line to Seattle, which It refused to operate af ter two or three years, In order to bul-d up a rival city at Tacoma. “Serious questions of a financial nature will arise should this city at- tempt to vacate the streets asked for by the Northern Pacific Ratiroad Company. Some of these streets are outlets to tide water, and I be Meve that @ proper case being made by parties owning property, not on the water-front, but on these streets, they would have a just right to é complain and to recover damages should the city attempt to turn such public highways over to this railroad corporation. “I am not acquainted with President Hill, of the Great Northern, and am not in any way under obligations to his company. What I say is uninfluenced by any mercenery motive whatever “I have read what President Hii! has sald on this subject, and I be- Neve he is right when he says that the water-front should be preserv- ed for the ordinary Puget sound steamboat traffic. “If the N. P. wishes to build a depot for the accommodation of own passenger traffic on one of the blocks owned by that company on the water-front, it would be sufficient for many years to come. “The bride held out by the Northern Pacific Railroad Company to in. @uce the citizens to vacate our streets. is simply to enable that com- pany to bottle up the water-front of the city of Seattle as they have ; bottled up the water-front of Tucome. “Never for an instant should our people consider the proposition.” W.
