The following resolutions were adopted
last week at meeting OF the citizens:
ABERDEEN, WASH, Nov. is, 81
To THE HONORABLE BOARD OF HARBoR
LINE COMMISSIONERS, Olympia, WASH
Gentlemen We, citizens OF Aber-
deem and vicinity, in mass meeting as
sembled, would recommend that the
harbor lines for the city of Aberdeen be
established as follows: Commencing at
the westerly line to be established on
the north bank of Grays Harbor as
shown by the accompanying map. We
would recommend that the outer harbor
line be established fifty feet into the
waters Of Grays Harbor and the Cheha-
lis river from the line indicated on said
plat. as being six foot or one fathom
depth. the same to extend to a point OPP
posite the west line of the prolongation
of Garfield street in the city of Aberdeen,
and that the inner harbor line for said
distance be extended back from the outer
harbor line 400 feet, except where the
same interferes with the government
meander line; in such event. to conform
to said meander line.
Within this space described we would
recommend three 500-foot water ways,
300 feet in the center and 100 feet on
each side. to extend from the outer har-
Dor line to the meander line of the
shore of Grays Harbor, as indicated on
said plat.
We would further recommend that the
easterly END of the inner harbor line, as
previously recommended, be extended
from its point of intersection with the
westerly line of Garfield street, south
wardly along said line of Garfield street
extended, $50 feet, thence eastwardly as
nearly in accordance with the red line
indicated on said plat to the mouth of
the Wishkah river, it being the inten-
ton of your petitioners that said line be
located to just conveniently clear all of
the improvements on the north bank of
the Chehalis river in the space indi-
Gated and that the outer harbor line
for the same distance be located fifty
feet outside OF the inner harbor line as
indicated.
Again commencing on the east side of
the mouth of the Wishkah river. we
would recommend that the inner harbor
line be located 220 feet into the waters
of the Chehalis river from the meander
line of the Chehalis river, and the same
be extended eastwardly sufficient dis
lance from the meander line to conven-
iently clear the Improvements now ex-
listing inside OF the said line, until said
extension shall intersect the section line
between sections nine and ten, township
seventeen north of range nine west.
Thence easterly from the point on said
section line, which will give sufficient
depth of water for convenient naviga-
ton along the north bank of the Cheha-
lis river, eartwaraly, to the mouth of
Elliott's slough. Again beginning at
the east bonk of Elliott's slough and
Chehalis river, we would recommend
that the inner harbor line be extended
southerly along the bank of the Cheha-
lis river, sufficient distance from the
meander line to give sufficient dethp
of water for convenient navigation. And
we would recommend for the outer har-
Dor line from the mouth of the Wishkah
river to one mile beyond the city limits
on the north bank of the Chehalis river,
that the same be established fifty feet
outside of the inner harbor line as
above indicated.
For the south side of Grays Harbor
and the Chehalis river, we wonld rec
ommend as follows: Commencing at
the western extremity of harbor lines to
be established, we would recommend
that the outer harbor line be established
fifty feet outside of the line of six feet
depth, and extend eastwardly to the
south side of the section line between
sections nine and ten, township seven
teen north of range nine west, and that
the inner harbor line for the same dis
lance be established 200 feet inside of
the outer harbor line Indicated. And
we would recommend that three water
ways be established, as indicated on
said plat, to be 300 feet wide, with 100
feet on each side.
Again commencing at the south line
of section nine, township and range
aforesaid, at point where the six feet
depth intersects the same. we would
recommend that the inner harbor line
be established eastwardly, then south
erly at distance from the meander
line, that will conveniently clear all ex-
listing Improvements on the south bank
of said river, and in no case less than
100 feet from the said meander line to
the easterly limit of harbor lines to be
established, and that the outer harbor
line be established outside Of the inner
harbor line, as before indicated, fifty
feet.
We would further recommend that
the inner harbor line on the Wishkah
river and Elliott's slough, be established
on the meander line, and the outer har-
Dor line for the same be extended to a
sufficient depth for convenient naviga-
ton, and, if within the limit OF the law,
to make the same water ways
