Tide land transfers fan Milwaukee road tide line hopes
In Tacoma Washington two tide land transfers destined for the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul railroad were recorded. The Ami Company of Everett received both parcels—one a large lot near Puyallup river and Tidewater Lumber, the other two lots on Puyallup avenue near East C and D streets. Deeds were filed by L R Manning. Ami officials A S Taylor and William C Swalwell are tied to Milwaukee interests and Everett banking and industry figures. Local speculation links Ami to Milwaukee road management and Northwest Insurance as part of broader tideland acquisitions.
