Dear Sirs: -- ~._-~ - ... ~----._- Aug. ~, 1966 to-wit: 26 ---- -- -- - - MINUTES OF REGULAR SESSION OF AUGUST 2, 1966 CONTINUED. --- ----- - - ----- ~----- -- ------ ---------- - -- - - --- - -- ----- - -------------- -------- ---------------------- --------- - - - ----- -,,-- As chairman of the Park boö.rd, I am making a request to have the watering restrictions remove!d from Chetzemoka park, as I feel it unjust to expect Mr. Roberts to get up at 5:00 A.M to water City property, there by making his work day, much more than eight hours. Evening regulations are difficult to comply with, due to the public 1.:_seing the park. I would like this matter to be settled, not only for t is year, but for the future also. Thank you, Mrs Margare~ J. Keehn Park Board Chairman Councilman Ruby asked if there was a meter at the park and if there was not there sllould be one put in to take care of the situation. Councilman Carter said that he had met with the park board and as long as it was citys property we sho Id go ahead and water when it was convienent. Councilman Carter made a motion seconded by Councilman Ruby that the park water when it was convenient. Upon the question it was brollght out thö.t the city set a policy on certain watering hours and they should not be the one to break the rule. After some further discussion Councilman Carter withdrew his motion Councilman Ruby withdrew his second. Mayor: pro-tem Siebenbaum referred the request to the water committee for a report at the next regular session. From W. Orson Banfie~d, Bancouver Canada, to-wit: His Honor Mayor Dennis Sullivan, Port Townsend, Washington, U.S.A. Your Honor: We visited your city after an absence of some ten years and were delighted with what we saw. Both Mrs, Banfield and I remember the rort Townsend of shortly after the war, when the Armed Forces of the U.S. had left the various buildings and the resultant loss of activity showed very clearly in the City of Port Townsend, On this trip we registered at the Port Townsend Motel and were immediately provided with several booklets and rochures on the City, and urged by Mrs. Eaton of the Motel to look about the area. We decided to follow the pictures~ue tour of the City. This turned out to be both veey interesting and, at the same time, frustrating, because we had ßifficulty in finding the street names on. the corners to guide us to the approved route. Maybe this was effectibe in making the tour a slower one, and afforded more time to løok around at the delighful old architecture and historic sited in your City. I do think that some effort should be expended in marking the tour. route by special signs, or making the street names on the corners more legible. In any event we were delighted wi th what we, saw. You should be proud of the results of the renovat ions to ghe old buildings and the marking of his toric spots. Keep up the good work., Tourism does pay dividends, and the youth of today will appreciate the events of yesterday wheni these events are properly recorded and displayed. Yours sincerely, W. Orson Banfield, Alderman Mayor Pro-tem Siebenbaum reported on the communication saying that Mr Russell Baker was chairman of a committee that was placing tUI~ the signs and that he was working with the police in placing the signs so the places of interest could be found more easily.
