P.A.Manson, Chairman Street Committee Mr. '•Hanson: I have filed with Frank Christian an application for the vacation of a por- tion of a street in Eisenbeis Addition on behalf of St John's Hospital. I didn't have a chance to talk to the street committee before I filed this application, so if you will move to have the matter referred to your committee when the application is read, I can go over the question with you before next council meeting. If things are going to boom out in the. Eisenbeis Addition, a lot of str- eet vacations will act as a boomerang against the council and I am not going to ask that body to do anything wothout first giving them all the low-down. l Thanking you for your past co-operation, I am, Respectfully Bill Daly.

Copies of Baar and Cunningham letters. { Copies of letters written by Baar and Cunningham and filed with the City` Clerk, were presented and read as follows: April 21st, 1928 Mr. Jas. H. Coyne, Port Townsend, Washington. Dear Sir: - Now that the fishing season is on, it is important that every precaution is taken to protect the public where construction work is carried on in the vicinity of fishing streams. I am particularly concerned on the Big Quilcene River and sug Best that you post appropriate notices along the Highway and on the Rainbow Trail, warning all persons not to enter the Quilcene Canyon between the Smith place above the log cabin and the point where the Rainbow rail crosses Tunnel Creek and the Bi quilcene river. You appreciate of course that' in spite of these warnings people A;; will venture into the Canyon so your forces should be instructed to use every pre- caution and give adequate warnings when blasting or falling trees. I•took this matter up with Mr. Mapes, Local Forest Supervisor at Quilcene and Mr,. Burkard in Mr. Plum's Dept. who assured me ofitheir cooperation. It would be well if you so licited the continued cooperation of Mr. Mapes, Game Wardens and others to the end that the public is properly warned of the danger that exists. I presented this matter to the City Council at their last meeting and re- quested that the City give this matter publicity also. Yours very truly, Baar and Cunningham By J. 0. Baar. (To L.E.Mayhall). April list, 1928 . Mr. L. E. Mayhall, Box 394, Seattle, :'lashington. Dear Sir: - Vole hand you herewith, blueprint of a sketch showing the proposed diversion dam on the Big Quilcene River to, be constructed for the City of Port Townsend. Thid dam will be located in the canyon of the Big Quilcene River in the NYC• of Section 31, T 27 N, R 2 W. projected, the territory In which it is located being unsurveyed land. Its location is a few hundred feet below the junction of Tunnel Creek and the Big quiloene River where the.Rainbow Trail crosses both streams. The best place to reach it is from the hainbow,l'rail near Quilcene a distance of approximate ly 4� miles, from the beginning of the Rainbow Trail in the Olympic Forest. You will find a construction camp established at that point and will have no difficulty in having the location of the dam pointed out to you. is are planning on a fish ladder providing it is needed, but we presume tha if magratory fish do not inhabit the stream at that point, the City woycld not be required to construct this fish ladder. Since we are desirous of starting the con struction in the near future, we will thank you for your early attention to this matter. Yours very truly, Baar and Cunningham, By J. 0. Baar Said copies were ordered incorporated in the minutes of this session. Communication from National Lumber Mfp;s Ass'c'n.

F. Christian, City Clerk, Port Townsend, Wash. Dear Mr. Christian: I had expected to be able to call on you but have been prevented by circum- stances beyond my control, so am taking the liberty of writing to find out what pro, gress has been made on your building code for Port Townsend. The Pacific Coast Unilgorm Code is meeting with considerable satisfaction in this district. Eugene will pass the ordinance at the next Council meeting, it be- ing up for third reading now. At Yakima there is every indication that it will be adopted. Other cities who are seriously considering it are Lewisto%1,-Idaho, Aber- deen, Washington, Hoquiam, Washington and Salem, Oregon. Klamath Falls already has adopted the code. I would appreciate your writing us concerning the status of the code at Por Townsend., Yours very truly National Lumber Manufacturers Associatio rilliam D. Smith Field Engineer. Inquiry re: road on bench. Councilman Coyne made inquiry about the matter of a road on the pipe line bench and Mr. Baar stated that upon consultation with Forestry officials, he was advised that the Forestry Department could not contribute more that $1000.00 per mile which left the situation very doubtful owing to the prohibitive cost. Inquiry re: main line meters. Councilman Manson brought up the matter of installing meters on the pipe line and Mr. Baar stated that the ideal plan would be to install a meter on the main line and also on the supply line to the National Paper Products C.'s plant but suggested that action be deferred until a little later. 1 3 I° f i t +
