"We built the bridge to save
the lumber so people would not
steal it."
Such was the statement made in
the county commissioners office
by Road Supervisor Samuelson to
a citizen who was complaining yes
terday about the extravaganza of
the me and Mettler" regime.
And Peterson, who was present,
did not DENY it.
Peterson had a bad half hour
when Louie Finbo went in to de-
mand a relief from the alleged in
competency of the commissioners
in handling the road business of
the west end of the county over in
the Glen Cove section.
Finbo lives at Lake Bay but is
foreman of the Wilson logging
camp up by Elgin.
There is one main road running
clear from Gig arbor up around
the head of the inlet down
through Elgin, Glen Cove, Lake
Bay and clear to Long Branch.
And Commissioners Peterson has
closed up that road.
Over nine weeks ago he sent
.Samuelson out there with a gang
of men and they ripped the plank
off the Glen Cove bridge which
was in daily use and put this main
road out of commission. Finbo
cannot get to his work now with
a team.
Business has been practically
stopped in this whole community.
Frank Vonderhaden lives just
above Glen Cove on w. w. Sey-
mour's dairy farm. e marketed
his milk and cream in Tacoma
and now he cannot get it to the
boat as the bridge is torn up.
There are at least six children
in the Vonderhaden and Lackey
families that cannot get to school
now.
There was absolutely no need
of tearing UP that bridge. Itwas
in use. There were a couple OF
piles that were going bad but they
could have been replaced for less
than it cost to tear up the bridge
and they would have lasted foI
years." said Finbo.
