ADMISSION 25c Children Under 15 Not Admitted | { ldone by THE CHAMBER'S The members’ council of the Chamber of Commerce and Commercial Club voted 19 to 11 Friday at a meeting in the Masonic club rooms, Arcade building, to try to stop the ex tension into Ballard of the city car line, They got into the car line matter by indorsing action of the taxation bureau and the trustees, who recommended that sult be launched to enjoin the city from proceeding, The vote was taken on assump tion that the counel! and Mayor GIL are disregarding the law, but no councilman or the mayor, who! deny they are proceeding contrary to law or any opinion on the law, were heard tn the matter Discussions waxed hot time, and feeling was ping until SF tary Gordon C.

The public has had no opportunity to express itself on that question tn connection with the present exten sion. In fairness, that such a proposed extension was rejected by the people two years ago. We furnish you the above facts | because your editorial on this sub- lject was apparently based upon a | misunderstanding of the facts, and |we know that The Star wishes to be fair, and especially that it wishes to be constructive in all matters that affect the future of Seattle | The city counctl has gone ahead with this extension at an estimated cost of $90,000 for construction and equipment, in debt. The city council at first propos ed to transfer a part of the expense jof this construction from the Hght fund, and from the general fund. Both transfers wer iNegal by the corpo th ‘lace of t eclty council is the construction thin extension by the indirect ropriation of funds. That 1s, $17,000 has been appropriated from the Ballard bridge fund for that portion of the work, and the construction on the Market street extension 1s being street department labor, and paid for out of the street de partment funds The position of our taxation bu rean is that any subterfuge that may be resorted to in the handling of public funds is dangerous to the public welf and that this pro: cedure should be stopped, if illegal If the city council is proceedir gally and properly, the action of the bureau will be without effect The taxation bureau is not at tempting to pass upon the destra bility of making street raflv tension to Ballard, That is a business question to be the people of Seattle settled by The taxation bureau feels that |now is a time when every dollar of local expenditure should be held under el control There ta need to concentrate all our esource upon the business of war, and neither money nor labor—both of which are in « at need by the na tional governr it—should be dis bursed on local undertakings, ex cept In the doing of work that ts manifestly greatly needed by the people of the city I think T am voicing the sent ments of our taxation bur 1 and our board of trustees when I ex press the opinion that many unfor 7 elements of discord have been allowed to creep into our Jo. cal traction situation, and that the efty council and the officials of the Puget Sound Traction, Light & Power company might well recog nize that we are passing thru a period of national and local emerg ency. It would certainly seem to be for the good of the city for all parties to get together in a room and try to agree upon a con structive policy of dealing with our street railway situation that wil provide needed service for portions lof the city that are now almost without service and that would letraighten out the unfortunate con | troversy that has been in progress during recent months This last is not in any way expression of the policy of our ‘ganization, but Is wish that think is echoed by the great major lity of the people of the city Yours very truly, an or.
