THE COLORED GENT I What is the REAL reason for the opposition of Councilmen Moore and Thomson to the Nichols amendment restoring to cities the right to extend light and water service to outside communities They prattle about the health of the city and taxes. They talk about the city being too sparsely settled, and that the population should be concentrated in a more limited area. But that is mere chatter. Seattle does not want—and these councilmen will not seriously advocate congested districts, bound eventually to create the slum conditions of the Ea’ Our taxes are not affected a penny’s worth, one way or another by the extension of these utilities outside the city limits, because both the water and light systems are sustained by the consumers. And, inasmuch as Seattle had the right to make such extensions until 1915, and did make many water extensions outside the city limits, and retained the record of being the healthiest city in the United States, it is idle for Moore and Thomson to speak of “impairing the city health.” If their argument is any good, that thru making extensions of utility service outside the city would create a “pest zone around Seattle” because the “‘sparsely settled districts are unsupplied with sewerage facilities,” it applies only to the extension of water service. le Pupiianed 1 My Th A Novel!

TOMPKINS PAGE 4 N SENATE BILL NO. 21 ja on earth can the “sewerage facilities” be affected by selling these communities electric light and power Yet, strangely enough, the corporation-controlled senators in Olympia are willing that water be sold to outlying districts, but balk at light. There is Senator Ghent, or instance. He voted for the Nichols amendment, but has since changed his mind. He declares he was under the impression at first that it provided only for the extension of water service. Water? Yes. Light? No. Why? Is it because the city is the exclusive seller of water, while light is sold both by the city and the private corporation? Is that where the colored gent is hidden in this controversy? And is that the real reason for the Thomson and Moore opposition? Seattle is entitled to know. And the state at large is entitled to know whether a “joker” inserted virtually by fraud in an irriga- tion bill by the repudiated and discredited 1915 legislature, depriving cities of the right they had until then to sell light and water whenever they deemed it wise to do so, shall remain on the statute books of this state. The vote on the Nichols amendment shows the true colors of the legislators. ’ A Novel! A Week! —By— Emma c.
