! The City Council have decided to
establish the city dock, or float, on
Tilton street. along the west side of
the turning basin and just north of
the Elswick bo2t-house. A drive
way will extend from Fourth street,
west of Horr's dock. The site
formerly selected, north of Percival S
dock, was deemed to be unsuitable
from the fact that the float would be
aground at low tide. A permanent
float and approach will be built at
an expense of 81, 200.

The old-time courthouse, on the
hill at Sixth and Franklin streets,
has been sold to Willard Lemon and
will be removed to another site near
the waterfront. This is one of the
landmarks of our city's earliest his
tory. 1t was built for q school house
in the early Sos, just after the Indian
war, to replace q one-story school
house that fell down one winter night
from the weight Of snow. Had it
fallen few hours sooner there would
probably have been o fearful loss of
life as there were about q couple
score of pupils in daily attendance.
The present building after many
years use as schoOl-house became
Thurston county's courthouse, and
on the erection of the building now
the capitol, was tenanted for several
years by the Olympiaa. 1t is still in
Q fair state Of preservation, which is
probably owing to its high site. 1t
was, when built, the most pretentious
school building in the then Territory.
