From Chief of Police The report of. the Chief of Felice for the month of April was presented, read and ordered filed. r, Port Townsend, kyashington, May 6, 1929 To the Mayor and City ,Counoil; Gentlemen: The Plat of National City Addition Number Two which was submitted to me by your honorable body for approval, Tuesday April 16th, 1929, is hereby returned to you with my approval as to platting and general layout. I would suggest that the parties owning this Plat be required to grade the streets, my reason for this being that the streets as laid out are only rough cleared, not grubbed, and not in any condition for traffic. The City has no equipment with which it can grade these streets so this would have to be let by. contract and could only be done by creating a Local Improvement District, so no money has been provided in the 1929 Budget for any work of this deaoription. When the lots are sold and houses built and the grounds improved the residents will expect the streets to be graded, Water Mains extended, eto., this they are entitled to when tMA Addition is accepted by the City Council and becomes part of the City of Port Townsend, even though -' the residents are willing to dig a ditch for the Water Mains, I would consider it unfair to them if the streets are not graded, to make them put the ditch on such a grade that will provide no assurance that the pipe would not have to be lowered when the streets are graded. There should also be sojpd Fire Hydrants for fire protection, provided when there are a number of houses built, these are of no use whatpver providing the Fire Department cannot reach them with its equipment on account of rough ungraded streets. I would also recommend that before the City accept any Addition that the owners thereof be required to place at least four permanent Monuments in the intersections of four streets so that in the future there would be no dispute as to location of streets and property lines When the City Accepts this Plat or any other your are responsible to provide the residents thereof with Police and Fire protection and such other public utilities as you control, and are responsible for any damages that may occur on account of the condition of the 'streets IN between property lines. 1 .•' I would suggest that the City Council or a Committee of the same investigate these conditions before accepting this or any future Additions. Yours truly, W. J. Sadler WJS/RV City Engineer Said report was referred to the Street Committee. i From Superintendent of Pipe Line. The report of G. A. Rose, Superintendent of the Pipe Line Patrol, was presented, read, and referred to the Water Committee.
