Phil Tindall Asks Re- election to Council on 3- Year Record Every Reason Why Port Proposals Should Carry (EDITORIAL) For ten days The Star has been giving the people of King county ALL THE FACTS about the Port of Seattle’s plan to oc- quire and improve the Moran-Skinner & Eddy tidelands tract. Six hundred thousand dollars is the price to be paid the U. S. shipping board for the site. It has been shown beyond any con- tradiction that at this figure the 26 acres is one of the greatest real estate bargains ever offered in a large city in America. The land today, by any sort of comparison or honest rea- soning or fair estimate, is worth not less than three times the price. Its POTENTIAL value is too great to estimate. It lies in the heart of the city’s industrial, shipping and transportation dis- trict, just a stone’s throw, in fact, from the banking and finan- cial center. For the Port of Seattle it possesses a SPECIAL USE-VALUE which it is impossible to over-emphasize. It is adapted for im- pea service as a terminal for intercoastal shipping, a lu- erative traffic which is growing by leaps and bounds and z hich the Port of Seattle is not now equipped to handle. The Railroad ave. frontage of the tract will be available for lease on favorable terms to industrial plants, making it pos- sible for Seattle to locate under the most efficient sort of con- ditions factories that are seeking high class manufacturing sites. * * # * Enemies of the port development plan—the railroads, pri- vate shipping concerns, etc., which have selfish reasons . for wishing to block the improvement—have advanced but one sin- gle argument against it. They have cried that it will increase taxes and is, consequently, to be deplored. The Star, in its campaign of BRINGING OUT THE FACTS and of unmasking false propaganda, has shown, however, that this argument will not hold water. The Port of Seattle is not asking for a new bond issue. It is merely requesting the trans- fer of bonds already voted for the Smith’s Cove terminal to this more immediate need. If the money is not spent in the one de- velopment it will be spent in the other. And the Skinner & Eddy site developed for intercoastal business is at this time the strategic move to make. The plan, if carried out, will unquestionably break even from the start. It never will be a burden on the taxrolls. In a few years it will become a great money maker for the port and do Seattle business a vital service in upbuilding commerce with our Atlantic seaboard, South America and Europe. ~ The same forces which are,shouting today about their taxes are actually spending more money in this campaign to fight the port’s development than the added taxes would amount to if their contention were true. They have an elaborate press bureau at work, a speakers’ bureau; they are putting on a high-priced billboard campaign; they are perfecting a precinct organization with captains, etc., such as the political machines use in presidential elections. * * * The truth is that the Port of Seattle has been one of the big- gest single forces at work in the last 10 years to advance the business prosperity and fame of this community. A great boom in ocean shipping is beginning. It is a time for optimism and faith and vision and constructive work. Knocking and block- ing are the signs of civic disloyalty. Vote YES next Tuesday on the port propositions.
