Four Seattle Public Services Dodging Taxes to Fund Street Railway
The city faces higher tax burdens as four major Seattle public service firms dodge taxes. Beattie Light, Sunset Telephone, Seattle Tacoma Power, and related properties are valued with heavy personal property and franchise components. Estimated unpaid taxes total about 249 500 yearly, enough to cover interest on 7 million dollars in bonds for a municipal street railway plan, reducing potential rate increases if these firms paid.
