FIREBDAT PLANS
WILL GO THROUGH
Mayor's Recommendation Is
Promptly Indorsed by the
Fire Committee.
MEW MAINS WILL FOLLOW
Arleta and "Woodstock to Have More
Fire Protection Captains Ask
More Wages, Which Will Be
Opposed by Mayor.
Mayor Simon has recommended to
the flro committee of the Executive
Hoard the construction of a eteel fire
boat and reinforcing mains for the
vaterfront district, asr proposed in an
act of the people three years ago. The
bond issue for this purpose is $275,000.
Iolowing the recommendation of
the Mayor, the fire committee yester
day afternoon unanimously Indorsed
this action, and directed Chief Camp
bell to seek a site for docking the
proposed steel fireboat. A marine en
Klneer to handle the plans and speci
fications and to direct the building of
the vessel also will be sought.
It is the purpose of the administra
tion to proceed with this work rap
idly. .
Act Ion Taken Promptly.
A committee consisting of Presi
dent MacMaster, of the Chamber of
Commerce, and I. Lang called upon
Mayor Simon on another subject, and
Mr. MacMaster introduced the fireboat
nnd reinforcing main question. The
Mayor said that he. would give the
project attention soon. That he meant
this emphatically is made manifest by
his recommendation to the fire com
mittee, which met at 4 o'clock in the
afternoon.
I desire to call the attention of the
members of the committee to a recom
mendation by Mayor Simon," said
Chairmaji O'Shea, when this item of
business was reached. "He wants the
proposed steel fireboat and reinforc
ing mains executed."
Samuel Connell and S. C. Pier, the
other members, concurred.
The city has only one fireboat, the
George II. "Williams, which is a wood
en craft. It has done much . good
work, but it is believed that the
waterfront is too long and the prop
erty to be protected of too great
Value to permit the frontage to go
much longer without another fireboat.
The reinforcing mains' are an im
portant part of this project, and when
installed will be of great value to the
great wholesale and the downtown
retail districts to be served thereby.
The whole waterfront and vicinity will
be benented. The fire Insurance risks
will be lessened materially.
Xeed Not Questioned.
'I have never doubted the need of
Another fireboat," said Mayor Simon,
"but there have been so many vital
questions for this administration to
cope with that it has been impossible
to get to this issue before now. That
It is Important, I have always recog
nized. I believe the waterfront should
liave additional fire protection, and It
will be the purpose of the administra
tion to execute this work as rapidly
as Is feasible. The reinforcing mains
called for in the act are also import
ant." Attention of the committee was
railed to the case of Porter Loomis,
engineer of Engine No. 9, who has
been indicted on a statutory charge.
The committee decided to await the
outcome in court.
The committee declined to rec
ommend payment of an extra claim of
$450, filed by the contracting firm of
TJriburg Bros., building the new house
for Engine No. 16. The cement in the
floor froze and had to be replaced.
More fire protection Is given to Ar
leta and Woodstock, according to the
plans of the committee, which will in
spect these districts at once and do
whatever it can to accommodate each
until permanent paid houses can be
established.
Captains Ask Increases,
The captains in the fire department
presented a petition for an increase of
$10 a month in wages, giving as their
reason increased responsibilities and
more work. Chief Campbell Indorsed
the request, but added that the en
gineers also should receive an in
crease, if the city decides to grant the
captains' petition. Mayor Simon is
opposed to the increases sought. There
are 27 captains.
Specifications for new apparatus, re
quired for new engine-houses, were
recommended for approval of the Ex
ecutive Board at its session this after
noon. This aparatus will cost approx
imately $30,000. Included in the list
are requests for bids on automobile
apparatus, although the committee has
not decided definitely to install any
of this. The members may buy a hose
cart.
The Home Telephone Company ab
talned aa allowance of six months in
which to install a system of tele
phones in the station-houses to con
nect with fire department headquarters.

SUIMNYSIDE TO HAVE FLOAT
Ball Ground in. Park Is Also One
of Proposed Measures.
Sunnyslde will provide a suitable
float for the Rose? Festival, if the busi
ness men and residents of that district
are willing to give the money needed.
This was the decision of the Sunnyside
Push Club, at its meeting Wednesday
night In the office of Dr. J. A, Pettit.
S. W. Walker. Edward Curtis, H. A.
Spear, C. W. Parish, Rev W. T. Euster
and Charles Mauts were appointed to
confer with the Rose Festival Associa
tion as to the nature of the float, its
probable cost and also to interview

float ought to be built and that if built
should be7 as fine as can be had. A
mass meeting of citizens will be called
in about two weeks to consider the mat
ter further.
In the matter of a ballground in the
Sunnyside Park, it was reported that
the Park Board looks with favor upon
the proposition, provided it can be made
and leave the proposed lake in the park

there be removed. It was reported that

BUSINESS OETTCK
Seattle, Washington, Apr. 9, 1910.
To' whom it may concern:
I have had almost continuous business rela
tions with Mr. Joseph Bloom for the past eight or
nine years.
In all our dealings, Mr. Bloom has been as
fair and square as any man could possibly be.
Moreover, Mr. Bloom is not a man who (to use a
common expression) is "always looking for the best
of it." I have found him always ready to give and
take and to be more than fair in all his dealings.
I know that Mr. Bloom has in this City a
large number of friends and well wishers, of whom I
am glad to be one.
Herefs luck to him.

DPEH MORRISON FOUGHT
F. W. MCLKEY THREATENS TO
WAGE COURT BATTLE.
Owner Declares His Property Will
Be Damaged Instead of Bene
fited Dedication Questioned.
F. W. Mulkey says he Trill contest
the action of the City Council in open
ing" Morrison street from Chapman to
Washington streets. He plans to gro
into court -within the prescribed limit
of 20 days,' but is undecided as to what
point he will select as a basis for liti
gation. "There is no question but that I have
been damaged, instead of receiving
benefit to my property," said Mr. Mul
key, "but I do not know whether this
will be my point in court. I shall go
into court without doubt. There is a
question about whether the street was
ever dedicated, and I am investigating
that subject. As to the benefits said
by the viewers to accrue to me, I will
say that anything that tends to take
the business away from a man's prop
erty is not a benefit, but a positive
damage."
With the exception of Councilman
Watkins, the action of the Council in
ordering the street opened was unani
mous. Mr. Mulkey's argument was
heard, after which the ordinance was
passed without comment. Mr. 'Watkins
declares he is not supporting the open
ing of the street, because he thinks the
viewers did an injustice In assessing
property east of Fifth street. He
thinks the property in that district de
rives no benefit, but is actually damaged.

THE ALVEOLAR METHOD of re
storing1 missing- teeth calls for expert
service from beginning1 to end.
Dentists who come to us seeking em
ployment attracted by the high wages
we pay, complain that our demands are
unnecessarily severe.
One man said, "I am no jeweler." But
we told him he must be as clever a
craftsman as any jeweler and be a good
mechanic as well.
And, more than that, we insist that
he be gentle, kind; kind, patient and
also svmpathetic and then KIND.
The keynote Is KINDNESS in this
office.
"Work with a swift, sure, g-entle
touch," we tell them, and "cultivate the
gentle art of painlessness."
The result of all this careful atten
tion to detail has started an endless
chain of friends and relatives of pa
tients in our direction who are tired of
being tortured by dentists who believe
a little pain is good for people.
