Dill, et al: The City Clerk presented and read communications from Senators Dill and Grammer, mid Congressman Hadley, relative to a resolution of protest against the taxing of receipts from City water systems, all stating that there was no likelihood of such action being taken by Congress. Said letters were ordered filed. Water Rights Information: A statement prepared by Mr. E. M. Starrett, relative to the standing of water rights for the water system of the City, was presented and read, as follows: The status of seven water -right applications: Permit No. 1021 (app. 1991) for 30 cubic feet per second from the Quilcene River take in Section 4, Township 26 north, Range 3 West. Certificate is O.K. and completed and final. Mr. William J. Daly Yebruary 15, 1933 Four other applications, 1990, 2533, 2851, and 2852, are temporary applications or rather temporary permits supposed to cover the time preliminary to and during the con- struction of the water system or power plant. These temporary permits call for reports every ninety days, These reports have not been made. I expect Tiffany was supposed to take care of those. Tiffany has not been employed in the Hydraulics Department for nearly two years. The four applications enumerated above expire March 1, 1933. Comment on the above applications: If the work has been completed, reports and other red tape should have been done and regularpermits secured that will cover all time. The City Engineer of head of the Water Depa�t and maybe, perhaps, the Oity Attorney should check the requirements for these reports, possibly by visiting the Division of Hydraulics here. Enclosed find a copy of temporary application with places for reports of conditions and limitations. These should be very carefully noted. Please note carefully the follow- ing fees for cost of permit applications: App. 1990 060.00 R. 2533 1.80 2851 200.00 R.2852 1.80 Total w b ,6 It seems to me that the completion of the application for the regular Permit is but a straight routine information only calling for a knowledge of the construction o the oper- ating plant. Perhaps the Zellerbach engineers will be able to help ,you out in this matter. Applications to renew temporary permits for water not already used may be renewed with fee by simply writing a letter to the Department saying work has not yet been completed. Application No. 1990 is for thirty cubic feet per second from the Little (ulleene Rive No. 2533 is a reservoir storage of 800 acre feet to be stored in the City Lake._ No. 2851 is an application for 100 cubic feet per second from the Big Quilcene hiver. No. 2852 is the application for 3000 acre feet (reservoir storage) -water from the big and Little Quilcene to be stored in Lords Lake, Application No. 1992, or reservoir permit No. 62, calling for 750 acre feet from the Little Quilcene river to be stored in Lords Lake. Time for the completion of this permit was extended to January 1, 1935. Whenever work on the project reaches the stage when regular permits can be secured, the regular permits should be taken as they are not liable, to cancellation.' Application 1020 calling for one cubic foot per acre from Rixon Creek, Section 9, Township 28, Range 2 'Pest. The work for this application was due to be started before March 1, 1928 and completed before November 1, 1930. I think it is the intention of the city to let those rights lapse. If the work was started on time affidavits should be filed. If the work of water diversion has been completed regular permits should be ob- tained. If no work has been done, the renewal of this permit should be made. A fee of 9"5.00 will be required. The only other application on file for the Quilcene ^iver:ie.the application No. 2261 by William E. Parker for 200 cubic feet per second from the One and One -Half -Mile Creek, a tributary to the Big Quilcene. Records show that no:work has been dohe. I would take this matter up with Lammers, Dr. O'Rear and others. The necessity of getting these permits and certificates up to date should be obvious. EMS:SLP Yours very truly, Eno. E. M. STARRETT After some remarks by City Attorney Scott, relative to the status of the water ques- tion, the matter was referred to the Water Committee, the City 'attorney and the Water Superintendent.
