SEATTLE NOW PUZZLES OVER MUNICIPAL TASKS Though Water la Again Fit to Drink, Expert Engineers May Be Employed to Eliminate Repetition of Eecent Pipe Break by Flood. SEATTLK. 'VVaeh., Dec. 1. (Spe cial.) City water ts attain fit to drink. It la Junt abort ot four veeka alnce the pipeline bridge across the Cedar River eras washed out, and. In the meantime, anyone who has drunk water from the pipes without first bollins; It, has done so against the urgent advise of the physicians. Thursday of this week the word was sent out that after proper steps as to letttna; faucets run so as to clear all the dead ends of possibly infected water, it would be necessary no longer to boil the water before use. The city In general, during the first days of thirst and fear of fire, learned taat the safeguarding of the supply I a matter of he most vital Importance. Mayor Pilling Is now studying th qualifications of the most eminent en glneers in the country with a view to employing three to advise the city. Sec retary Walter Klsher, of the iH-part nient of the Interior, has offered to gtv leave without pay to any engineers un err his Jurisdiction whom the city mar wish to employ. The city's problem Is to get Its two pipelines across a mountain river on a structure that will not be weakened even by the highest floods. At pres ent both pipes are carried on the same bridge, and this, by some. Is consld ered a mistake. It appears to be im possible to find a solid rock bottom for tne piers, and If the bridge must be based on the shifting soil of the can yon. the best engineering foresight Is wanted to pick the place where the Cedar River is least likely to change Its course. When Lake Washington water was pumped Into the pipes for flre-flghttng and waahtng purposes Immediately after the washout. It was declared by the Health lx-partment that the water waa deadly with colon bacilli, typhoid terms. As a matter of fact, no In crease in the number of cases of ty photd fever has been reported. Seattle, like other cities In Western Washing ton and Western Oregon where sanlta tlnn and water supply are of the high est type, is practically Immune from typhoid. lasairetvwmoewtB JSe- An Interesting report was made this week by the Metropolitan Hulldlng Company, the lfie for St years ot the I nlversitv of Washington's old camp. us. down town. TMe tract of four square blocks bids fair In a few years more to be in the exact center of the city's business district. When the lease runs out, in about 45 years, all thi Improvement will revert to the unl verslty. which if Seatt'.e retains Its recent rate of growth, will then be one of the best-endowed institutions In the country. The report of the company recites the expenditure ot S3.SO0.QOv for improvements on the tract In the last four year and says that the company wt'.l be Just as active during the next year. "Ouring this period." says the report, "there has been a demand for first-class ofrice and store space; at no time has this demand for space lessened; In fact, there have been many Instances when the company has been unable to supply the demand for large suites of of rices. " The university's present Income from rentals Is not great, for the company acquired the lease for a consideration not much greater than the taxes would have been. The land, belonging to the state, is free from taxation. A bit of experimental legislation that the city council has taken up with the parent Intention or putting It through. Is the construction ot a mu nicipal home for working-men. Seattle, like Portland, is a great market for the class of labor that carries Its bed on Us back and has no home of its own. When the logging camps and mills close down, and when Winter re duces the opportunities in Alaska, these men gather In the city In great num. bers, some of them with a "stake' that will last them through until Spring, and some not so well supplied. They gather In the lodging houses In the congested Washington street dis trict and while away the time by stand Ing on the street corners. The plan is to erect a comfortable barracks on Beacon Hill, clear the land around it. and develop a model farm. Councilman Griffiths has prepared a charter amendment creating a board of seven cltixens to serve without pay, and to have charge not only of this project, but also Jurisdiction over mu nlclpal workhouses and jails, training schools and detention homes, publio lodging houses and baths, and the se curing of work for those who want It, The commercial bodies have found plenty of public matters for discussion during the last week or so. Consider able opposition has developed to the project of the Civic Plans Commission, and the clvio center and arterial high ways are the subject of frequent de bate. The plans will go before the voters for acceptance or rejection in March. City's Like Carllae Idea. The discussion of the municipal car line, soon to be built, baa taken on numerous phsses. Home question has been raised as to the validity of the bonds and the best means of financing the project for Immediate construction under the circumstances. The route picked out runs from the north end of the business district to the populous Ballard, district. The Intention seems to be not to follow the safely profitable plan of strsphanglng. But to see wheth er an experimental municipal line can give a seat to every passenger and still compete with an old-established cor poration which has its single eye di rected toward "the main chance." Whether the city ought to compel the two telephone companies to merge, or whether It ought to forbid thera to do so Is another burning question. The duplicate system is recognised as a nuisance, but the companies seem to have forced a general acceptance of their theorem that the greater the num. i been of telephones the greater Is the cost of operating each. ' The combina tion would therefore have the effect of lowering the cost of service to the business house that now subscribes to both systems, but of increasing the cost to the householder with a single phone. The question also arises, what would become of the connections the Inde pendent company maintains with the littlt independent farmers' systems that are fighting the Bell corporation in the country districts tributary to Seattle. Would some of the trade of these dis tricts be driven to other cltiies? There is much difference of opinion, too, as to the proper expenditure of the vast sums that are to be spent on har bor Improvements prior to the opening of the Panama Canal. In an effort to scystalllze public opinion on this mat ter, the Chamber of Commerce Is taking a referendum vote ot its member. The great mileage of Seattle's waterfront leaves room for many different im provement projects, each with Its own advantages and each backed by many varied selfish and unselfish Interests. The Commerlal Club held an election of officers this week. In which George Matzen, who openly favored consolida tion with the Chamber of Commerce, was defeated for president by W. W. Wllshlre, who wants consolidation only on condition that the consolidated body shall be conducted on broadly demo cratic lines, without placing any great power of action in the hands of a board of trustees. This has probably post poned the accomplishment of the mer ger desired by many. cessful ever held in the state, and many fine trophies have been given by citizens to be given for the best exhibits. Olcott Grant) Extradition. SALFV," Or., Dec, lg. (Special.)
