JUST PLAIN Lies |" HE interests opposing the port's public belt line, and Remsberg and Ewald for port com- missioners at Saturday's election have deliber- ately lied to the voters. The Star has spiked more than one of their lies. TODAY THE STAR SPIKES ANOTHER. The kept newspapers of Seattle have been telling their readers that a belt line isn’t neces- sary, beause all the railroad franchises on the water front have a common-user clause, and that any rival railroad, or any new railroad desiring to gain terminal facilities here, may run its cars over the present tracks A good argument, is it not? All that’s wrong with it is that it is a DOWN- RIGHT LIE. James E. Bradford, corporation counsel for the city, and C. France, counsel for the port of Seattle, today give out the following statement: “To the Electors of the Port of Se- attle: We understand that in discuss- ing the Belt Line railway, which will be voted upon by the electors of the Port of Seattle on December 4, 1915, the statement has been made that all franchises within he City of Seattle granted by the city to the railroads contain common-user clauses. We have checked over all the franchises granted by the city and find that there are at present 59 such franchises in force. Thirty-three of these contain no common-user clause.” The way to defeat the purpose of these in- terests that are lying to you in tuaeir efforts to gain control of the port commission, is to vote for C. E. Remsberg and C. A. Ewald, and for all five of the propositions submitted on the port ballot.
