The suit of Chas. Mckay against
~ the county, for s., 900 damages
for injuries sustained by falling from
the bridge across the ravine in the
rear Of the court house last January,
was tried before Judge Joiner, of the
superior court, without a jury, last
Wednesday. Mr.. Mckay was repre-
sented by Attorneys Revele, of Sc
attic, Willett, of Ballard, and Gar
rett, of Friday Harbor, while the
county was represented by Prosecut-
ing Attorney Wynn alone. Quite a
number OF witnesses were placed on
the stand by both sides. Mr.. McKay's
case rests upon the alleged unsafe
condition of the bridge through the
absence of ratings along the sides.
He also endeavored to show, by his
own testimony and that of his wit
nesses, that the planks along the
westerly side, from which he fell,
were so uneven at the ends as to
leave in one place quite large open
ing through which, or because of
which, he claims to have fallen. The
county's witnesses, however, testified
that there was no such opening and
that the planks along that side
did not vary more than two to four
inches in length. It is the county's
contention that Mr.. Mckay, having
crossed the bridge thousands of times
prior to the accident, had full know
ledge of its condition and that in e.
deavoring to cross without light,
when the night was so dark that he
was unable to see the bridge, and
having in mind at the time the ab-
sence of a guard rail, as shown by
the evidence, was guilty of con-
tributory negligence. Mr.. Wynn
moved for non-suit and many
authorities were cited by coun-
sci on both sides in their arguments.
Mr.. Wynn quoted numerous de-
cisions of the supreme court SEEM
ing to sustain the county's contention.
Judge Joiner took the case under ad-
visment in order to further examine
the authorities cited.

Splendid Field For
Marine Research

Prof. Kincaid returned to Seattle
Thursday He is well pleased with
the results of his marine research
here this season and is hopeful that
the next legislature will make pro-
vision for the establishment of per-
manent marine laboratory here SINH
lar to the Harvard laboratory at
Woods Hole, on Buzzard's bay, where
the chief station of the United States
Fish Commission is located, and the
Carnegie laboratory at Coal Harbor,
o Long Island sound. Prof. Kincaid,
who is one of the cighest authorities
in America on insect life and marine
biology, says that there is no locality
on the Atlantic coast where the
waters are so rich in the various
forms of marine life, within radius
of few miles, as they are here.

WORK
IS CONFIRMED
NO CHANGES MADE BY BOARD OF
EQUALIZATION
Increase OF SEA, ,O88 Over Last Years
Assessment--Roche Harbor Limo
Company's Assessment Increased
About One Th1rd--Report on Live
Stock and Fish Trap Locations.

THE county commissioners held
~ their animal session as board
of equalization this week, all members
being present. No changes what
ever were made in the assessment
rolls as reported by the assessors
The total assessed valuation of real
estate as equalized is 1886, 71O and of
personal property $261,516, total,
81, 148, 226. Last year the real es-
tate assessment was 1926, 7O1 and the
personal assessment 1929, ,486; total,
81 ,056, 1877. Of the total increase
of $92, ,039, approximately one third
is on the property of the Tacoma
& Roche IIarbor Lime Company In
connection with this company's as
sessment, Attorney W. R. Garrett
appeared before the board on behalf
of the signers of a petition of taxpay-
ers alleging that, the company had
not hitherto paid it's just share of the
burden of taxation and demanding a
full investigation. Petitioners at
torney, however, stated that he be-
ieved the company's personal assess
ment this year to be fair and he fur
ther admitted that his knowledge of
the value of the company's real es-
tate was not such as to enable him
to say that the assessment Was too
low. The company made no protest
to the increase of about one third
made by the assessor and the assess
ment was confirmed as made.
The live stock assessment shows
that there were on the first of March
1909 milch cows in the county, val
ued, for taxation, at $34, ,705; 9O72
sheep, valued at $18, 1853; 639 horses,
valued at $36, 1896; 1896 hogs valued
at 81, ,095 and SOC stock cattle, valued
at S., 10. Fish traps and locations
are assessed at $4,000.

County Coroner
Replies to Criticism

EDITOR ISLANDER: A citizen Of East
Sound. in letter to the ISLANDER, criti-
cises my action as coroner in cremating
the remains of an unknown man found
on north beach recently.
He undoubtedly speaks advisedly in
saying that this county is able to give
human remains decent burial. The fact
that this method of disposal saved the
county expense was not the cause of it's
adoption i'm the case in question, though
it certainly was not an objection. If our
critic can tell us who stands ready to go,
with men to assist, to any isolated place
in this county, procure box suitable,
take charge upon request of coroner of
decomposed remains, transport it to q
suitable place for burial and bury it. all
within the legal limit of expense, tie cor
oner will be pleased to learn Of the man.
Bear in mind, please, that this man must
have no regular employment that, at the
time he is needed, would interfere. He
should also be accessible to calls by
,phone. to be of use at the proper time.
We will no doubt have the assent Of our
critic in the islander to the opinion that
where there is any probability that pos
session of RENAME may be desired by
friends or relatives, no reasonable effort
shotfld be spared to procure burial OF
the same, and this is the practice In this
county, but possibly we have convinced
our East Sound friend that this is not al
ways feasible In the case referred to,
every man in the neighborhood was ap-
pealed to to undertake the burial OF the
body. but no one would do so and it was
necessary to have the matter disposed OF
