NO DEBT NOW AGAINST CITY The $15,000,000 worth of bonds do not, at the present time, create any Indebtedness against the city of ttle, For that reason, and be cause of the doubtful earning ability of the railway, the bonds are worth little more than half of $15,000,000 But if the bonds were a direct obli- gation of the city, their market value would increase by millions Indeed, it is posstble that the owners of the bonds would return part of the exorbitant pu price if the elity would vo tarily make itself liable on the bonds. Why not? It would add from $3,000,000 to $7,000,000 to the value of the bonds. Everyone would like to see a b cent fare re-established. But no cit- izen wants a 5-cent fare if it Is going rob the city of the chance to make several millions. This, then, is the other side of the street car question to Seattle, getting in return $15,000, 000 inespecial utility ‘bonds. It ts exceedingly doubtful if the) lines are worth one-half of that sum It is the Btone- Webster corporation that Is now holding these bonds, and is the Stone. Webster corporation that knows the bonds are worth only a small part of their face value If the bonds were made a di- rect obligation of the city, whieh they are not at the present time, the Stone-Webster int ts would be the gainers by at least $3,000,000—probably far more, BIG STAKE IN STREET CAR GAME This, then, ts the stake In the street car game, ‘This is why a des perate effortis being made to induce the city to default on its payments of the interest and principal due on the $15,000,000 purchase price of the municipal railway.
