this city were etsrtled but not aston
ished by charges of paving graft mad
against George f. wrignt, nut suspicion
nf thl. and nthnr arraft had been rlf
for month. The ract ss tney appeared
from investigation, wer that a large
amount of paving Improvements were
desired in this city, and It Is un I ver
min v known that th Barber Asnhalt
company haa left a record in many cit
ies of corrupt Influence In securing
similar oontraots, and there hav bn
many exposures and convictions.
"In 1906 an agent of this company
visited Tacoma and laid th foundation
to frame up a deal with ertaln of th
city council. On councilman went to
Seattle, accompanied by th agent, and
arranged, for-taa. payment -by-hl som
pany to him and his associates of a
sum oual to 6 cents per yard for pave
ment on Yakima and C. street. Mayor
Wright was not satisfied with thia
amount and sent on of hi appoint
over to Seattle and framed an agree
ment for 10 cant par square yard,'
which amounted on these two contract
to aomething In exoes of 16,000,, th
understanding being that half of this
was to go to Qeorg P. Wright, th
other half to the councilmen who wer
In on the deal. The contracts wero let
tn fhit 1 la rho, .nhfnanv anA wSmm th.
assensment roll waa approved an agent
of the company came to Tacoma and
paia tnis sum to ueorge f. Wright per
sonally In his office at th city hall.
"When tho councilmen called for
their divy, th mayor refused to- split.
which resulted in a controversy be
tween mem, ana wnen tne contract was
let to the company for district number
ibz tne councilman re r used to confirm
the assessment roll until Wright agreed
to give them their share. Tb records
show this roll was held up, the graft
monry, -,3uv, was pittrea in escrow un

W Ths awing of th market from stagna

The sharp advanc of (Saturday com

This advanc waa th most sensational
