PORT COMMISSION PROPOSITION NO. Certain real estate speculators who have purchased tracts of land in the vicinity of Bellevue, on the eastern shore of Lake Washington, charge that the Anderson Steamboat Com- pany is behind the effort to defeat at the polls on next Tues- day what is known as Port Commission Proposition No, 6. To some extent this charge is true. Twenty-one years ago, in 1891, I sowght and secured em- ployment as a deck hand on the old “C. C. Calkins,” operating on Lake Washington. My wages were $50 per menti:. For two years I worked on this steamer, during which time I rose from deck hand to fireman, from fireman to purser, and from purser to captain. I then purchased with my savings an in- terest in the “Winnifred,” and from that time up to the pres- ent date have remained actively in the boating business cn Lake Washington. Today, the Anderson Steamboat Compa’ of which © am president and majority owner, operates on Lake Washi- gton ten steamers, the greater number of them large passenger boats. A few years ago the demand for further transportation facilities on the lake became too great for me to handle, and I was compelled to go to my friends and interest them with me. Every dollar 1 have earned has been put into new boats, and with this has gone thousands of Always I have tried to keep abreast of the rec dollars of bor.cwed money. iments arising from the rapid settlement on the shores of the fake and the growth of the city of Seattle tire- This has been my one ambition, and I speak truly when I say that I have upon many occasions deliberately sacrificed my own interests to the interests of those whom I was attempting to serve--in other words, the people who were dependent upon me for boat service, It has been a hard strugg to quit, but I have stuck to it Many times I was tempted I am now just beginning to see daylight ahead, and I would not be true to myself, to my friends who have become interested with me, or to the peopl: from whom I -have borrowed money, if I failed to do all m my power to defeat a band of real estate speculators who are attempting to injure my business and at the same time by false statements induce the people of King county to build for them a ferry boat, which the county cannot operate at a lower loss than $3,000 a month, that the land of these specu- lators should be increased two-fold or three-fold in value. These men say also that I have a monopoly in the matter of traffic on Lake Washington. ysolutely false. Of the nine boat routes on Lake Washington today, the Anderson Steamboat Co. covers but four, and in only a few instances do we own our own landings. There is no such thing and there can be no such thing as a monopoly in the traffic on Lake Washington. We do not own, and no one else owns, any tracks on Lake Washington. he water is there free to whosoever wants to run a boat and the man or com- pany that gives the best service will get the business. In conclusion, 1 again admit that [ am interested in the defeat of Port Commission Proposition No. 6 and I appeal to all of those who believe in giving a man a square deal and an opportunity to conduct an honest business in an honest way to vote next Tuesday AGAINST Port Commission Proposi- tion No. 6.
