A discussion followed relative to the manner. of supplying Hadlock and Irondble until the new pips line is completed. Mr. Baar made other recommendations relative to the supply an regulation of the' use of crater and that if the ester supply run short that sprink- ling should be curtailed to the minimum. He also stated that it might be neces- sary to furnish the Paper I.Sill with large amounts of stater at certain times and be- lieved the matter could be arranged. Mr. Baar, speaking of a temporary supply from the little Quilcene River,estimated that the cost.would amount to approximate- ly 15,000 to ,'20,000 and that Mr. Schoenwerk had advised against 'the expenditure. Mr. Baar believed that the Paper Company would be satisfied with conditions as be in now worked out. He further stated that'the big problem at present, is to fill th new pipe line again after it is flushed out. S-irinkling hours.

City Attorney Scott reported having met Mr. `./.J.?lorthington, Secretary of the Quilcene Irrigation District and found them to be willing to do all they possibly could to assist the City in its present water shortage and suggested that as the district was now using the maximum amount of w! ter required at any time during the year, that arrangements be made to measure the water used by the district at this time. City Attorney Scott presented the followring letter from Mr. R. K. Tiffany, State Supervisor of Hydraulics and requested that it be read and incorporated in th records, to -writ :' Olympia, 'lash., July 7th, 1928 Mr. Jas. W. B. Scott, City Attorney,' Dort Townsend, ',lash. Dear Mr. Scott: Your letter of June 27th, enclosing completed application of the'City of -Tort Townsend. to ahprohi•mate waters of the Little Quilcene River, is before rne. I have also a letter from .. J. „orthinvton, Sec.-Treas. of the Quilcene Irrigation CompanSr, of which cony is enclosed for your information. You stated. when in my office recently that diversion of sorle water from the Little Quilcene during the months of July, August, and possibly September of this year would materially expedite the construction and beginning of operation of the paper mill now., under construction in Port Townsend, as your construction on the Big Quilcehe River cannot be completed in time to serve the first needs of the paps mill. You expressed the view that you could probably arrange with the Quileene Irrigation Company for diversion in such a way that it would not interfere with ir- rigation. The Quilcene Irrigation Company has rights, :rhich. during, lour eater take practically the full flow of the stream. There remains the protest of the U.S. Bureo.0 of Fisheries th,.Iough Ir. Kern- merich, Superintendent of the local hatchery. Mr. Kemnerich in his protest sta- tes that the taking of any :eater from the Little Quilcene River by the City of Port Townsend would "result in the decrease of our source of egC su,)ply for the Zuilcene hatchery to such an extent that to continue fish cult.ural'opera.tions mould not be (iarranted and the station would have to be Closed." These two streams are the only available source of gravity water supply for the future needs of municipal industry and agricultural development of Fort Ton] send and its tributary territoyy and I am inclined to think that the use of these streams for these purposes is of more importance to the State than the maintenance of the fish hatchery and rearing ponds. `'e will not, however, issue a final _.er- mit: from the Little ui.lcene until we hear further from the representatives of the State and Federal Fisheries Departments. This letter may be considered, a tcm JOrapj 1)e rmit, under 'r:hich diversion of water from the Little Zuilcene 'liver may be made during the.months of July to Oc toter inclusive of the present year, subject to existing ri.-hts. It is understood that you will get in touch with the Zuilcene Irrigation Company and r:.ake no diver- sion of crater that ti:ill interfere with the needs of that company and that you will also accommodate yoUr diversion so far as may be done to the needs of the Quilcehe Fish hatchery. Copy of this letter is being sent to Idr. Kemmerick, Superintendent of the _;ui.lcene Hatclery for his infor:ation, and to others noted. below. Yours very rely R. K.
