From the Park Boards Communication from the Park.Board was presented and read as follows: Port Townsend, Wash., Mar. 28, 1929 To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Port Townsend, Wash. Gentlemen: If the Water Department has the pipe on hand and to spare, we would like to obtain about 35 or 40 feet of 10 inch used wood pipe to carry the waste water from the end of the present overflow pipe from the City Reservoir, to where the ditch through the park grounds is lined with concrete. An unusual quantity of water has been coming from the overflow pipe and has been washing the banks of the ditch between the and of the over- flow pipe and the beginning of the concreted ditch and considerable damage could easily result. It would also be highly appreciated if the Water Superintendent and assistants could spare enough time to help place the pipe in position'as we have but one man avail- able for Park work and we have no suitable tools for doing such work. We are asking this favor because it is for the'proteotion of City Property and because we have no money available to pay for material or labor. Respectfully submitted.

Seattle, Washington March 28, 1929 CITY OF PORT TOViNSEND, WASHINGTON THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL: Gentlemen: We enclose herewith and submit for your approval, prices and specifications of our Reo two ton Speedwagon; for your Street Department. r Having already analysed your needs with Mr. H. W. Robbins, we shall not impose upon your time by entering into a lengthy discussion of the merits or demerits of our truck or any other. Reo products were already accepted some twenty years ago by the motorwise public as depend- able merchandise and representative of honest value. They have since that time enjoyed an ever increasing popularity due to their reputation for lastingqualities. Just as Reo pioneered the penumatic tired truck fifteen years ago, overcoming the general opinion that all trucks must run on solid rubber, they again in 1924 anticipated the need for faster - more powerful trucks and met that demand with a 6 cylinder speedwagon. Meeting with even greater resistance by the manufacturers of four oylin der trucks than t they did in 1914 by the manufacturers of solid tired trucks, our action has now been indorsed by practically all other factories by the adoption of 6 cylinder motors by them. In their hurry to meet the demand for our type of equipment passenger oar motors were and still are being used by some manufacturers. The Reo 6 cylinder speedwagon embodies speed, power and endurance. The Rea Motor Company is just large enough to benefit by quantity production but not large enough to be hampered' by demands of overgreedy stockholders. The Teo Speedwagons today represent more value per dollar and better satisfaction. Five W. years of building 6 cylinder trucks and twenty five years of successful manufacturing.
