Port Townsend, Washington, December 7, 1937 Honorable Mayor and City Council City of Port Townsend, Washington. Gentlemen: - The Board of County Commissioners for Jefferson County expressed themselves to me this morning their willingness to assist in the grading of a road from Hastings Avenue West to a point on the bluff between Middle Point and Cape George for the purpose of pro- viding a more satisfactory and sanitary place for the disposition and disposal of city gar- bage. The land upon which the proposed garbage dump could be established is now the property of Jefferson County and, I am satisfied, could be purchased for a nominal sum. The Board of County Commissioners also inform me that they will take their road equip- ment out to Morrison's Park and obscure the mesa that exists there today and thus remove from the business of the Council a matter that has been a continuing source of annoyance for sometime last past. I suggest that an appropriate committee be appointed for the purpose of investigating the feasibility and desirability of the proposed dump change, taking into consideration, of course, the consequences that might develop from the present and existing contract with Mr. Lammers. Very truly yours, W. J. Daly, City Attorney. The matter was referred to the Committee on Harbor and Health for, investigation and report. November Salary Warrants.
