Seattle City Budget Advances With War Department Bridge Order
Seattle city council approved a six million dollar budget with final hearing set for October. City car lines and electrical workers urged wage increases but no amendments were made. Mayor Hanson announced a War Department order for removal of the 13th Avenue bridge over Lake Washington canal, now used by Puget Sound Traction Light Power Co. The 7th Avenue bridge may also bear extra traffic. An ordinance would transfer forty eight thousand five hundred dollars from the street railway bond fund to cover condemnation awards for new elevated lines.
