The committee began the days
session with adoption of a revolu-
ionary plan to require the chan

Jority vote Of the reichstag.
The present recommendations
OF the committee, therefore, on

accordingly request was made for
possession of about 1900 acres
which was selected near Dupont.
The problem presented of getting
possession of the land prior to
condemnation was very acute and
had to be settled almost at once.
The plan worked out, which waa
approved by you, was to rely on
the patriotism of the owners and
ask them to deed the land to the
county leaving the compensation
to be fixed in the condemnation
cases and paying them as liquidat-
ed damages for the use of the land
from the time possession would
be given by the condemnation pro-

be equivalent to interest at the
rate of 5 per cent per annum on

A nationwide food survey will be
the first step taken by the govern
ment after congress passes the
drastic food control bill advocated
by President Wilson.
The work will fall under the
combined direction of the depart
ment of agriculture and the coun-
ell of national defense.
The government will first de-
termine accurately the amount of
reserve food products now in
stock, where they are located and
how they can be most effectually
distributed. 1t is then the inten-
ton to compile an accurate esti-
mate of the probable production

PETITION FOR REPLAT

lying just across the city limits,
OF which he is owner, was taken
up by the county commissioners
at a hearing at O'Clock Saturday
afternoon
Ashton is asking that all dedi-
Gated streets In that immensely
valuable tract of land be vacated.
The reason he advances for ask
ing the change is that big indus

tideflats are demanding larger
tracts of lands than the ones avail

able.
The proposed replat provides
for only two blind streets running
across the property, and would
completely shut off access to a
great stretch of Tacoma's water
front.
Before the meeting 1t was init
mated that the county commits
sioners intended to compel Ashton
to deed the needed additional 40
feet for widening 18th street,
which he has refused to do I'M
less his petition should be rail-
