at the intersection of Pierce and Blain Streets.

and in need of proper lighting. Every other .city church edifice has such lighting accommadations
at this time regardless of location in regard to the regular city lighting plan, and we trust your

From E. A. Sims - Re Paving:
April 14, 1930
To the Honorable Mayor and, City Council
Port Townsend, Washington
Gentlemen:
The paving of the Olympic Highway to Tyler Street at Port Townsend, has brought to the
attention of the citizens of this fair City the condition of its streets which has brought about
considerable conversation as to ways and means of improving the streets such as modern towns of this
size have. The main part of the conversation being directed to Water Street and the lower part of
the town.
Today I measured off the streets from the Standard Oil Company along Water Street to Mon-
roe Street, from Monroe to Lawrence Street, from Monroe and Lawrence and to Walker and Lawronoe,
from there to Washington and Walker and all the intersecting streets in this rectangle, and find
the distance to be about five miles. North and Westerly of Lawrence Street I €igure there are about
two and one-half, miles that should be taken in consideration making a total distance of seven and
one-half miles to cover the lower part of town, and all that part on the hill .to the foot of Morgan
Hill.
On the 15th of this month bids will be let for the oiling of the Olympic Highway from the
Keymes out -off to the end of the paving East of Port Angeles. This paving is of a new proven type
of a lasting quality of from four years upward, depending upon traffic. Taking into consideration
the width of our streets and what surface improvements'is necessary, I believe that.we could pave
the sections of town mentioned.for approximately $3,000 per mile or an entire total cost including
engineering eta. of approximately $25,000.00.
My suggestion is that you make an improvemento district including within the mileage given
above and proceed as fast as possible to make ,this a modern city.
Reverting to Water Street which has opened this subject to debate, I find it will take
about three -fourths of a mile paving figures: at 18 foot width basis, Water Street being 43 feet in
width. Should you in your judgment decide to include this part in the improvement as concrete, you
will have to add to the above figures about $12,000 to $15,000. .
The financial condition of;the city has raised the question.of possibility of concrete of
paving on aocount;of,inability.to,finance the Water mains neoessary.to be laid under construction.
The type of oiling paving just mentioned will eliminate this immediate expense as.it is susoeptiable
to be taken up and re-laid when the water or sewer improvements are necessary.
I believe this paving proposition will meet the approval of the citizens of this City, if
there is any doubts, in your minds, as to this being a fact, your should calla mass meeting for the
determining of the -attitude of the citizens on this question.
Trusting that this will be given sincere consideration, I am,
Yours very truly,
E. A. SIMS
