That others also appreciated this tribute was expressed in a
letter which I received and from which I quote:
"But the thing that 1 thought was so fire for your city --and that
impressed me so much as we drove into the city --was the fact that the flog
was at half mast on the city hall."
Again thank you for this courtesy.
Sincerely,
HARRIET E. SIMS

From Glendale Dairy, to -tit:

October 4, 1945
The Honorable Mayor
and the City Council
of Port Townsend.
Gentlemen:
I would like to make formal request for permission to repair the side-
walk in front of the Glendale Dairy. I wish to suggest, with your approval, that
a Black Top mixture be used, and a suitable approach be built up across the gutter
to improve the truck crossing.
I have already discussed this matter with Nagle Construction Company,
and in the near future they expect to have this mix available, and have declared
their willingness to do the work. They have made the recommendation that Black
Top be used as there will be very little traffic tie-up during the installation.
Hoping for an early and favorable reply to this request, I remain,
„i Very truly yours,
L. CURTIS
7;LC/mb Mgr.
Following the reading of the foregoing communication, the question of advisability of
allowing such installation was raised by the Council. City Engineer, Lay, was called upon
for an opinion as to whether or not such materials would be satisfactory, Mr. Lay stated
that hot pre -mix asphalt could probably be used satisfactorily but that other types would
not give proper results. City Attorney, Daly, informed members of the Council that City
Ordinance provided for installation of' concrete sidewalks in an area in which the proposed
construction lies.
It was the concensus of opinion of members of the Council, that deviation from the
provisions of the Ordinance governing construction of sidewalks might.react unfavorably
particularly in view of the proposed installation of ornamental lighting system in the
business area.
Concrete Ordered for Sidewalk Repair
It ryas moved by Councilman Mueller and seconded by Councilman Steele that the Glendale
Dairy be instructed to install concrete sidewalk and to reinforce same with steel if used
as a truck crossing and that the Clerk notify said Glendale Dairy to that effect. Lotion
carried.

Honorable I,iayor and City Council
Port Townsend, Washington.
Gentlemen:
Thru sources, other than the City Council, I learn that presently an
earth fill will be made across the swamp to make a foot path and that the City
will be called upon to furnish two trucks and drivers, gas and oil, for a period
of about 30 days. If this work is ordered, it w111 greatly interfere with pre-
sent plans of the Street Department for tha balance of the year, as we have lined
up for completion between now and January 1st the following:
' First: Tar all expansion joints on the pavement from the city limits to
Tylers-f-reet.
Second: Open two blocks of city street, fill and gravel, between Scott
and z.eainey streets on Clay street. This work was ordered by the Council several
weeks ago.
Third: Fill sinking shoulder and -raise gutter on the Washington street fill
Sam between Elks building and Fillmore streets.
