force account highway work can be
done more cheaply than under private
contract. Approximate figures an
nounced today show that the work was
done at least $12,000 cheaper than the
lowest bid of 252,000, made by a private
'contractor, and it may run as much as
22000 lower than that estimate.
The work included two miles of pav
ing and was in charge of C. A. Dunn

forces.

Promising the full co-operation of

American continent."
In reply. President Wilson said:
'It is delightful to feel that a mutual
understanding is being established
among the nations of the Americas

Tour Excellency to believe that the
speech to the Mexican editors to which
you so kindly refer came without pre

i wisn you also to Know that It ex

than my personal feeling and solicv.
for I oelieve It expressed the real atti

Edward A. West engineer for the

wired to Mayor C M. Riddell, saying
that he has heard the disconcerting
news of the agitation.
"The loan to Tacoma by the Govern
ment was recommended by me because
of the present streetcar earnings," said
Mr. west. "The loan is to be repaid
from earnings of the line. The munic
ipal system and the traction company
Interests are so interwoven that any
thing affecting one will have an in
fluence on the other. If the earnings
are to be reduced the value of the se
curity will correspondingly suffer and
require modification of my recommen
dation."
