 When the letters 0. T. or N. T. occur they mean either Old 
 Tacoma or New Tacoma. 
 
 I liave undertaken, first, to make the revision an absolutely 
 true and correct record of the Ordinances of the City up to and

 In the matter of arrangement I have departed somewhat 
 from the ordinary method and believe it will be found more 
 than oi'diuarily convenient for reference.

 ery of its books and papers, which demand was, on the 26th day

 32 CORPORATE HISTORY. 
 
 The case was argued on the 12th day of October, and a de- 
 cision rendered on the 1st day of February, 1897, reversing the 
 decision of Judge Pritchard and declaring the Charter Amend- 
 ments legally adopted. On the 4th day of February, the Com- 
 mission resumed its proceedings. The decision was filed with 
 the County Clerk on the 13th day of March, 1897. 
 
 On the 13th day of February, formal charges were present- 
 ed to the City Council by W. C. Sharpstein, Secretary of the 
 Civil Service League, against the three members of the Civil Ser- 
 vice Commission, charging incompetency, neglect of duty, and 
 malfeasance in office ; and the first day of March, 1897, set for 
 hearing the same. On the 10th day of March, after a full and 
 fair hearing, the charges against Govnor Teats, as to incompe- 
 tency and neglect of duty, were sustained by a vote of 13 yeas 
 and 3 nays, and against S. F. Sahm and Richard Bond by 12 
 yeas and 4 nays; and the vote on the question of removal from 
 office stood 10 yeas and 6 nays. 
 
 On the 13th of March, Ed. S. Orr, Maj^or, appointed George 
 H. Walker, George Brewitt and W. C. Sharpstein as members of 
 the Civil Service Conmiission, under an opinion by J. A. Shackle- 
 ford, City Attorney, to the effect that the old members of the 
 Board had been removed from office by the action of the City 
 Council on the 10th instant, and that a two-thirds vote was not 
 required for such removal. 
 
 On the 23rd of March, and before the new Board organized 
 the Superior Court rendered an opinion to the effect that a two- 
 thirds vote of the City Council was required to remove any of- 
 ficial from office, and restored to office the old members of the 
 Board. April 26, Frank H. Graham Avas appointed to succeed 
 Richard Bond, whose term had expired, and the Board organ- 
 ized with S. F. Sahm President. 
 
 On July 15, 1897, the Mayor, (A. V. Fawcett), submitted 
 to the City Council certain affidavits charging misconduct on 
 the part of Govnor Teats, Commissioner, and I. J. Tomlinson, 
 Secretary; which were referred to the Committee on Law and 
 Conduct of City Officials, Avhich committee, on July 22, reported 
 probable cause for believing the charges true, and recommended 
 that the proper officers report formal charges. July 29, formal 
 charges were presented to the Council by the Mayor against 
 Govnor Teats, charging him Avith "gross incompetency, neglect 
 of duty and prostitution of a public trust for his private gain," 
 and the 16th day of August was fixed as the time for hearing 
 the same. After a full and fair hearing, and on September 1, 
 the charges were sustained, and Govnor Teats removed from of-
 
 CORPOEATE HISTORY. 33 
 
 fioe as Civil Service Comissioner by the unanimous vote of the 
 City Council. 
 
 The last meeting of the Board as then organized, was held 
 on the 20th day of July, 1897, and on August 12, the Mayor arbi- 
 trarily removed Commissioners Salun and Teats, and Secretary 
 Tomlinson, from office and took possession of the office, books 
 and papers ; shortly after which time he appointed Otis Sprague 
 and M. P. Bulger to fill the vacancies on the Board occasioned 
 by the removal of Sahm and Teats. 
 
 On the 3rd of September the new Board organized and elec- 
 ted Otis Sprague President. Its first business was to suspend 
 I. J. Tomlinson, Secretaiy, pending an investigation of charges 
 preferred against him. On the following day, Tomlinson was 
 permitted to resign his position as Secretary, and ]\I. P. Bulger 
 was appointed to fill the vacancy. 
 
 From this time on to the end, the Board, apparently in good 
 faith, endeavored to carry out the purposes for which it had been 
 appointed ; but the people of the City of Taeoma had had enough 
 of so-called Civil Service Eeform, and preferred the old method 
 of filling office. They believed that under its best application, 
 more incompetents would be appointed to place than under the 
 old method of partisan appointment; and that with a corrupt 
 Board, it became the most dangerous political organization which 
 could be devised: 
 
 Februarv 26, 1898, the City Council passed Ordinance No. 
 1272, submitting to the qualified electors, at the next general elec- 
 tion, an amendment to the City Charter, repealing Amendment 
 No. 19, relating to Civil Service. On the 5th day of April, fol- 
 lowing, the election was held, and notwithstanding a vigorous 
 campaign by the Civil Service League, the amendment was adopt- 
 ed by the decisive vote of 2634 for, and 1132 against it; and 
 the City was freed from what had proven itself to be the most 
 corrupt and corrupting influence in the politics of the City of 
 Taeoma.

 €ITY surveyor's SUPPLEMENTxyL, REPORT CONCERNING MONUMENTS 
 
 OR SURVEYS. 
 
 Tacoma, Jan. 4, 1884. 
 
 The stone monuments referred to in my last report consist 
 of the common granite boulder, and contain about one cubic 
 foot of matter. The monuments are buried in the ground with 
 from six to eighteen inches of soil above them. The cross (X) 
 that is cut in the monuments is placed uppermost, and the point 
 of intersection of the lines forming the cross, marks the exact 
 points intended to be perpetuated by the monuments. ^Fonu- 
 ments within the original town site of New Tacoma, and those 
 marking government corners coincide with and are for the pur- 
 pose of perpetuating original surveys. All other monuments are 
 for the purpose of perpetuating careful surveys made by me. 
 Field notes and maps concerning the monuments and surveys 
 referred to in my report are filed and recorded in the office of 
 the Auditor of Pierce County, AV. T.

 same shall be put into operation, now, therefore, 
 Be it ordained Ijy the City of Tacoma: 
 
 Section 1. Before any resolution under the City Charter 
 of the City of Tacoma is passed ordering any local improve- 
 ment to be made, the City Council will ascertain and deter- 
 mine what adjoining, contiguous or proximate lots and par- 
 cels of land will be specially benefited and should constitute

 Sec. 12. 'I'lir cost ami cxpiMise of making any improvement 
 sIihII be assessed upon the adjoinino-, contiguous, or proxi- 
 matr lots or parcels of land benefitted thereby, in the manner 
 followinir: The Commissioner of Public Works shall examine 
 all the pi-oi>erty embraced in said assessment district and as- 
 certain and determine what benefits will result to each and 
 every lf)t and parcel of said land; and after such examination 
 and determination shall make out an assessment roll charging 
 the lots, blocks, and parcels of land in said assessment district 
 which have been benefitted by said improvement to the extent 
 of their proportionate pai't of such cost and expense and in an 
 «i|uitable manner in projiortion to the special benefits resulting 
 to each lot and pai'cel ; and in no ease shall the amount so 
 cliarged against any lot or parcel be in excess of the benefits 
 resulting thereto. And in making said assessment, when said 
 Coimnissioner of Public Works finds and determines that an 
 assessment by the front foot will result in charging said lots 
 and parcels of land equitably and fairly in proportion to the 
 benefits resulting to each respectively, he may apportion such 
 i'ost and expense in accordance with the number (^f lineal feet 
 of said real estate oi lots of land fronting on said improve- 
 ment as aforesaid. The amount apportioned to be paid on each 
 lineal foot fronting on said improvement shall be paid by the 
 adjoining, contiguous or proximate pi'operty, as follows: Lots 
 abutting endwise upon any street to be improved shall be as- 
 sesst'd the full amount as determined by their foot frontage; 
 any lot or parcel of land lying directly and lengthwise along 
 the line of improvement at any street corner or intersection 
 shall be assessed one-half of the amount as determined by its 
 frontage, and the remaining one-half assessed upon the lots to 
 the center of the block ; if the land be unplatted and belong to 
 the same person or persons, then the first twenty-five feet ly- 
 iuL' directly and lengthwise along the line of improvement shall 
 be asst-ssed one-half the amount as determined by its frontage, 
 and the remaining one-half to the depth of one hundred and 
 fifty feet from the proposed improvement; provided, however, 
 that if the parcel of land fronting along said proposed im- 
 provement and belonging to any one person or persons shall 
 he less than twenty-five feet, the said strip shall bear one-half 
 nf the expense of said improvement as determined by its front- 
 age, and the remaining one-half assessed upon the balance of 
 said property to the depth of one hundred and fifty feet; and 
 provided further, that any parcel of land in V or triangular 
 shape, the ;inirl.' of which is adjoining, contiguous or proximate
 
 GENERAL ORDINANCES IN FULL. 15!) 1 
 
 to the line of improvement, shall he considered as a lot having 
 twenty-five feet front on the improvement. And provided that 
 the several amounts charged against said lots respectively shall 
 in no case be in excess of the benefits resulting to the same from 
 such improvement. And whenever the manner of making such 
 assessment by the front foot as herein specified shall not result 
 in a fair and ecjuitable division and apportionment of such costs 
 and expenses upon the benefitted property, in proportion to the 
 special benefits resulting to each lot or parcel of land, then 
 the said Commissioner of Public Works shall not make said 
 assessment in that manner, but shall adopt such a plan or man- 
 ner of dividing and apportioning the said costs and expenses 
 and charging the same upon the several lots and parcels of 
 land in the assessment district, as will be fair and ec|uitable, 
 and will make the charges against each lot and parcel of land 
 respectively proportionate to the lienefits resulting to each and 
 so that in no case shall the charge against any lot or parcel of 
 land be in excess of the Isenefits resulting thereto. 
 
 Sec. 3. After examining said property and ascertaining 
 and determining the amount that should be charged against 
 each lot and parcel of land in the assessment disti'ict, in the 
 manner herein before provided, the Conuiiissioner of rublic 
 Works shall make out and certify to the City Council an assess- 
 ment roll, which shall show and exhibit in separate columns, first, 
 the name of the owner of each separate lot, piece, parcel or sub- 
 division of land separately assessed, if known to him ; if the 
 name of the owner be luiknown, the word "unknown" shall

 cost and expense of any local improvement within the City of 
 Tacoma, or any installment of such assessment, shall have become 
 delinquent and shall have so remained for a period of three 
 years, the City of Tacoma may bring an action in its own name 
 in the Superior Court of the State of Washington in and for

 at the rate of fifteeen (15) per cent per annum from the date 
 of issuance thereof, and shall be foreclosed w^hen held by the 
 City in an action brought in its own name after a period of three 
 years from the date thereof, in the same manner and Avith the 
 same effect as mortgages upon real estate are foreclosed. Such 
 certificates may be issued to the City or may be sold to any 
 person appl.ying therefor, upon payment of the value in princi- 
 pal, interest and penalty thereof. They may be assigned in 
 writing and the City may sell and assign any and all certificates

 rants issued ag:ainst such fund at the rate prescribed for such 
 bonds or warrants. If at such sale there shall be no bid in the

 private sale for bonds or warrants issued against the said assess- 
 ment fund to any person who will surrender to said City an 
 amount of such warrants or bonds which, with accrued interest, 
 will equal the amount of such assessment ag:ainst such lot or 
 parcel of land, plus the accrued interest thereon and all costs 
 which may have been incurred, or for lawful money of equal

 closure may be had for the same in the manner hereinbefore pro- 
 vided, or in the manner provided in the City Charter ; but such
 
 S4il GENERAL ORDINANCES IN FULL. 
 
 forw'losure of the lien of any installment shall not prevent the 
 foreclosure of any subsequent installment when the same may 
 beeome due, but such subsequent installment may be collected 
 and the lien thereof enforced in the manner provided. But the 
 pureliaser of any property at the foreclosure of any installment 
 may pay all subsequent accruing installments, assessments or 
 taxes upon the property so sold while the same remains unre-

 ments in districts hereafter created, the City Council may pro- 
 vide that upon failure of payment of any installment of any 
 assessment against any lot or parcel of land when due, the entire

 ment assessment in any manner now provided or which may be 
 provided by law or Charter, but the City of Tacoma may pursue 
 the means now provided by Charter or law, or which may be so 
 provided for the collection and enforcement of local improve- 
 ment assessments and the authority conferred by this ordinance, 
 and the ways and means hereby provided shall be considered as 
 additional and concurrent. Nothing herein contained shall be 
 construed as making the City of Tacoma liable to the holder of 
 any local improvement bonds or warrants, which are payable 
 only from the proceeds of special assessments, and'the holder 
 of any such bonds or warrants shall look only to the fund pro- 
 vided by such assessment for the principal and interest of such 
 bonds or warrants and shall have no claim therefor against the 
 City of Tacoma, except from the special assessments levied for 
 the improvement and funds thereby created, it being the purpose 
 and intent of this ordinance to give to the City of Tacoma the 
 right to collect such special assessments, and enforce the lien 
 thereof and foreclose delinquent assessment certificates by the
