REPORTS OF OFFICERS.
Letter from Attorney Daly,
relative to proposed traffic code.
Explanatory to a proposed traffic ordinance,
City Attorney Daly submitted the following letter, to -wit:
Port Townsend, Washington, January 4th, 1938
Honorable Wayor and City Council,
City of Port Townsend.
Gentlemen: -
At your order, I transmit herewith for consideration a draft of a proposed or-
dinance providing a traffic code for the City of Port Townsend.
The attached effort generally follows the provisions of Chapter 188 of the Laws of
Washington, 1937, with such changes, omissions and additions, as should meet the present
and future needs of the city insofar as traffic regulation and safety features are concerns
I realize that several items will become the subject of bitter strife between council-
men and between citizens and it has been the thought of the writer to raise as many contmo-
versial matters, now, as I could thinF of, and thus stimulate sufficient thought and action
among all the people of Port Townsend as might ultimately result in a document that will be
the bestest for the mostest."
The draft as presented has been gone thru item by item by the undersigned in the pres-
ence of Councilman Naughton, Judge Alexander, Officer Bolt, the Chief of Police,and Patrol-
man Bartl.
Respectfully, W. J. Daly, City Attorney.
