UNFINISHED AND NEVI BUSINESS' Re: Hydrant'Near East Gate to Fort Worden' Councilman Sullivan reported that he had investigated the matter of the necessity for another -fire hydrant in the vicinity of the East Gate to Fort Worden, and that, in his opinion, it would be beat to place two new hydrants in the neighborhood under discussion provided, that the cost to the City should not be prohibitive.
