Mullen Presses for Franchise Amid Fourth Avenue Tie Up
At a Friday meeting the corporations committee abandoned a Fourth avenue car line after Councilman Mullen pressed for regrading costs and damages. Moore and Gilman resisted paying $40 000 to $59 000 for tracks on Fourth avenue while Seattle Electric gained similar privileges on Westlake boulevard. Moore warned he would wait, insisting no extra charges while Beattie faced no such terms. The franchise draft requires completion within 18 months except West Beattie which has two years.
