LETTER TO NEWLAND
e: aeo ne ax xpenditures.

ence held by several of the Councilman, the Mayor and the City Attorney, the following lett
had been dispatched to Mr. Newland, District Engineer, Highway Department, to -wit:
Port Townsend, Washington, May let, 1935.
Mr. R. P. Newland, District Engineer,
204 N. Franklin Street,
Olympia, Wash.,
Re: City of Port Townsend
Dear Sir-
Zn compliance with further instructions from your office asking that information
be given concerning the budget for the.Street Department for the year 1935, and especially
the matter of purchasing a new grader, please be informed that on October let, 1934, the
City of Port Townsend adopted the following:
Estimated Expenditures for 1935, Street Department.
Total ..... $6,680.00, which includes "New Grader - $2,000.00.
Estimated Receipts, Current Expense Fund.
From State, from proposed new distribution of gasoline tax funds ... $2,000.00
From State Highway Fund, (Chapter 41,•1933 Laws) ................... 1,000.00
From State, for Primary State Highway Maintenance .................. 1,590.00
You can see from the foregoing that our cash available for expenditure in the
Street Department will be now reduced $4,590.00, so that if the city is permitted to go
through with street plans contemplated last October, the purchase of a grader will have to
be made from funds coming to the city from the Secondary Highway Act of 1935.
The purchase price of the grader is slightly in excess of $4,000.00 and the city
must pay for the same within two years.
The Street Committee feels that the greatest good to the greatest pumber will be
secured by the purchase of this grader and your department can see that this expenditure
was contemplated long before the 1935 legislature met and the city is not now buying new
equipment because of the new source of money.
Very truly yours
Attest: George Bangerter, Mayor
C. F. Christian, City Clerk.
