Unique Campaign of Education Putl
Quinton on Scheme to Build New ‘

SEATTLE. Washington, October 28.
*Hlllllllll. one of the livent and most.
independent towns on earth. has Just.
settled the municipal ofvnership ques-
tion. after one of the most exciting
campaigns any city ever had. The
fight. was particularly interesting in
view of the methods utilized to combat
the municipal ownership idea and be»
cause of the fact that the vote finally
cast represented a reversal of semi.
lllelll against a ileleclioh held before a
complete campaign of education was
organized. .
Seattle has now. therefore. reins
ed to build an independent street

very colllploill traction system. the
majority stock in which Is owned by
Messcrs Stone and Webster. the Bon-
ton capitalists who make ll. specialty
of conducting public scrvlce plants

The plan submitted in the people
exceptionally clever. it was made up

1. A proposed system of 20:17 mil-l
es of truck. to be constructed as soon
as possible. and to be ptlld for from
an issue of 51.272030 in bonds.
‘2. A lruckagr- of .58 lililes, to be
constructed as soon as practicable.
prrlvll‘dod the initial system could be
llllllit‘ to produce a revenue sufficient
to induce investors to purchase bonds
based on a percentage of gross enrn~
lugs. involving an additional bond is-
stip of 331100.000. .
3. Subway and cb‘valcd systems at
:1 further cost of 33.301004. '
Wouldn't Cost a Cent.
Although the people Were asked to
tltllborlzv bond issues to the amount
of $4,272.000. it was only proposed to
build at once the 20:17 miles of track

showing the proposed system. ill its
entirety. including elevated tracks and
subways. the present building of which
was in no way coilteillplntcd, were at
once circulated by the ndvocnlers of
municipal ownership. liv such nrgu~
lilciits it was sought to show how Seat-
tle could aruuli‘n this great system.
“without costing the iilunlcipnlity it

The municipal ownership forces Were
