From Port Townsend Lodge No. 317 to -wit: April 16, 1963 Honorable Mayor, Dennis Sullivan and Members of Port Townsend City Council Gentlemen: As part of Youth Activities on a National Scale, the Grand Lodge of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks has asked all subordinate lodges to promote an activity in their respective areas on May 1 of this year to be known as Youth Day. Port Townsend Lodge No. 317 respectfully submits the following outline for such a program in our city to be effected on May 1, 1963. 1. Proclmation of Youth Day by Mayor Sullivan 2. Election conducted by members of the senior class of Port Townsend High School to elect public officials for that day. 3. Throughout school hours on May 1, students would occupy and perform, under supervisio duties of public officials as elected or appointed. 4. Complete publicity coverage by the local news media will be utulized. We feel that such an event will be well received and most certainly beneficial to the young men and ladies of our community, and seek your endorsement of this program. Respectfully, Sheldon Allen, Exalted Ruler After some discussion it was moved by Councilman Hoglund seconded by Councilman Rust that May 1st be known as Youth day and to comply with the request of the above communicatio Motion carried. From Port Townsend Park Board to -wit: April 13, 1963 Icon. Mayor and Councilmen City of Port Townsend Port Townsend, Washington Gentlemen: The conditions that developed from the several windstorms that have occurred since our 1963 Park Budget was prepared leave us with two important problems: 1. The removal of a large number of stumps. 2. The installation of 227 feet of chanin link fencing. With the removal of the trailer park and for the proper control and appearance of the park grounds, this seems desirable. Only one bidder is available on the stump removal program, since extremely heavy equipment is needed. This amounts to approximately $200. for stump removal and approximately $150. for loading stumps on trucks, since burning this debris in the park is impossible. The tot bid, therefore, approximates $350 for the task. Two bids ware secured for the fencing project. One from Cyclone Fence and the other from Anchor Fence. The Anchor Fence bid at $345. for material was the lower. Two bids were received for installing the fencing. Cotton's bid of $1.25 per foot IMN was the lower, amounting to $263.75 for the job. Winterburns bid was for $1.35 per food for installation. The lowest combined bids, from Anchor Fence people and Cotton Engineerin, totaled $62B.75. The completion of these two items will insure that normal use, planning and development can proceed. The Park Board feels that the completion of this work, as far as possible, before the Rohododendron Festival is desirable. The Park Board therefore respectfully suggests the City Council considers these projects and appropriate the necessary funds they see fit to meet current conditions.
