Lockhart Plater Superintendent Port 'or:nsend, Washington Dear Sir: Because of the regulations of the U.S. Public Health Service regarding water supplies used on interstate carriers, it has been necessary to prohibit the use of the Port Towriselld hater supply for this nul-pose for the following reasons: 1. Inadequate chlorination control. 2. lie submission of monthly chlorination plant reports. On August 3, an engineer from this Department conferred with you and Mayor Harry Hirtzler regarding this t:tatter, and it was agreed at that time that the reason for not submitting these reports was the necessity of makin,r, daily trips to the chlorinator. It was further agreed that the chlorination plant reports could be submitted to this Department with as many determinations thereon as practicable; that is, chlorine weight and residual chlorine determinations two to three times weekly, and such procedure would be acceptable to this Department. The chlorination plant report forms for this purpose have been forwarded to you on a previous date, and must therefore be in your files. However, in order to fill these forms out completely it will be necessary to provide scales for the chlorine cylinder and t obtain a chlorine residual comparator for the purpose of filling out the residual chlorine columns. ibis comparator may he obtained through either the Wallace and Tiernan Sales Corporation, Terminal Sales Building, Seattle, or the Hellige Compan;l, Inc., 2lew+ York City. Upon submission of this chlorination plant report to this office at tile end of each month, it will then be possible for this Department to recommend to she U.S. Public Health Service that the Port 'o.wnsend water supply may be made available for use oil interstate carriers. You will be so advised at that time. If you have any questions regarding the foregoing recommendations, please feel free to call upon us. Very truly yours, MS0:TW ROY 14.

Levy, representing the Olympic Peninsula Packing Company, was read to the Council as follows: September 12, 1939. Port 'Townsend 'Rater Department Port Townsend, Washington Gentlemen: We would like to call to your attention a water bill for 6 wecks operation totalling w126.45 which vie have no doubt is your regular rate. On tlis basis of cost, it is most discouraging for the cannery to operate. Instead of helping local industrial programs, you curtail them with this exorbitant cost. Adequate facilities at the cannery are so arranged that vie use a minimum of water ---as littl as possible for our operation. I can assure you that unless these charges can be rectified and arrangements made for the future whereby tie can operate economically, there is great danger of this plant being dismantled and its machinery being moved elsewhere. The writer would like to see this project developed to a far greater capacity for the benefit of Jefferson County, but vie need cc operation from you as well an the other local departments some of which have already shown a willingness to help us carry out our project. What can vie expect from you? Please take this up with the city heads as soon as possible. Yours truly OLYMPIC PEIIINSULA PACKING CO. SGL:jf Sol G.
