SUES CITY IN FIGHT
OVER GARBAGE DUMP
OLYMPIA SHINGLE COMPANY
WRANGLE INTO COURT

The several years fight of the
Olympia Shingle company against
the garbage dump maintained by the
city near it's property on the water.
front broke into court this week
when the company, through Attor-
ney j. o. Marts, fled suit to have
the dump declared a nuisance and
the city restrained from using it.
The suit is signed by L. Vaughn,
president of the company, and Attor-
ney Harry l.. Parr is associate coun-
sci.
For several years the officers of
the company have periodically pro.
tseted to the city council regarding
the dump and at one time threat
ened to move their plant away from
the city unless the situation was ad
justed satisfactorily. The differ.
ences would be settled temporarily
but difficulties would again arise and
meeting this month, officers of the
company addressed the councilmen
vigorously protesting against the
dump.
The city, city officials and council'
men are named as defendants in the
suit. The complaint charges that for
the past three months the grounds
have been used by the city over the
protests and objections of the com
pany, that the city has encroached
upon the company's property and is
Itrespassing on it, that the city is
using the dump in a manner inju-
rious to the health of the company's
employees and interfering with the
loading of cars by the company. and
that it is maintaining a nuisance
without specific authority from the
Legislature to use it's own property
for such a purpose.
Declaring that an emergency ex
lists, the company asks for a tempo
rary injunction, continuing in effect
until the court decides whether il
should be made permanent and the
city forced to abate the alleged nui
sance and pay the cost of the action
against it.

CONTINUATION OF ORIGINAL

Partial report made to the state

Aon OF Seattle of a resurvey Of the
new capitol buildings site recon

|proposed group of three structures,
Including the Temple of Justice, now
nearly completed, a main capitol
building and an administration build
ing.
This proposal reverts to the north
face design of the Wilder & White
plans, over adoption of which opposed
interests have clashed for the past 10
years. and overrules the Main street
entrance plan favored by the late
Governor Lister
Engineer Thomson finds it impos-
sible to use the old McGraw founda-
tion in his proposed grouping. which
is patterned after the triangular ar
rangement of the national capitol and
two y administrative buildings III
Washington, D. G.. In this adapta
of Justice would be the most westerly
of, the group, with the state capitol
main building dominating the high
point near where the executive man
sion now stands, and the administra
tion building forming the eastern foot
of the triangle.
Engineer Thomson remarks that il
the flight of marble steps from the
railroad station up the hill, rs drawn
in the Wilder & White plans. were
constructed, this grouping would
confront the visitor with command
ing view of the main building wher
he reached the top step. He favors
terracing and parking the hillside
down to the Sound both on the north
and east of the group.
In important particulars Engineer
Thomson's report supports the group
ing plan steadily upheld by Senator
P. H. Carlyon throughout the Ions
fight that has preceded prospects ol
actual construction. AS the report
was incomplete on account of delay
in obtaining contours. the commits
sion. postponed further consideration
until Saturday forenoon, when an in
spection will be made of the site by
/ the commission and consulting engi
neer for a practical demonstration
of the grouping proposed.
Engineer Thomson advises that the
main capitol building, designed fol
legislative use, be erected first, but
the commission believes that it will
lack funds necessary for this work
and favors construction of the admin
istration building to provide perma
nent quarters for state department,
work, leaving the old legislative halls
to serve for another so days session
not due until 1921.

HITS NORMAL GRADUATES.
Ruling Says Diplomas Do Not Make
Them High School Teachers.

High schools are not common
schools as that term is used in the
state school laws, and therefore diplo-
mas from normal schools do not en-
title holders to teach in the high
schools, the attorney generals de-
partment has advised Mrs. Josephine
Corliss Preston, state school superin-
tendent. They must take the regu-
lar examination, the opinion says.
The effect of the ruling, it is stated,
will be to compel normal school
graduates now high school instruct.
Ors to accept positions in grade and
rural schools, thus relieving the crit
ical shortage of such instructors.
High schools have had less difficulty
in obtaining teachers, it is reported

ST. MARTINS COLLEGE HOPES
TO CELEBRATE 18th ANNI-
vERsARY WITH OPENING

More than doubling the capacity of
the st. Martins College building at
Lacey. an extension for which ground
was broken this week will be COM
pleted next spring. The cost will be
approximately 100000. A Tacoma
contractor is handling the work, as
Olympia contractors were unable to
furnish more than one of the two
concrete mixers required by the spec
ifications. The large quantities of
lumber and mortar necessary will be
supplied by Olympia firms, however.
The new building will be 800 feet
long and go feet wide. and will form
the longer side of an l. of which the
present building is the shorter side.
The two will be continuous with
each other, the longer side of the
new building running north and
south. The colleges plans provide
that in the event of more room being
needed. another building similar to
the present one will be constructed
running east and west, so that with
the present building, the one now
started. and the church in the middle,
a huge E will be formed.
The scheme of pressed brick and
Gothic architecture used in the exist
ing building of the college will be
carried out in the extension. There
will be three stories and a basement.
The basement will contain the kitch-
en- and dining-room On the first
floor will be classrooms and the
chapel More classrooms will be on
the second floor. which will also
house the library. The reading room
in the present building will be con-
nected with the new library. On the
third floor will be the students dor
mitories. All these college facilities
will occupy the south 1S5 feet of the
building. The remaining lis feet
will be used as quarters for the fac
ulty.
Only the foundation will be COM
pleted before the fall rains, but 1t II
hoped to have the superstructure up
by April IL. which will be the twenty
fifth anniversary of the founding Of
the college.
The large new building is made
necessary by the growth in number
of students of the college, During
the academic year which closed this
summer 249 students were enrolled.
They come not only from local FAM
lilies, but also from Seattle and the
rest of the state, and several have
even come from homes in British
Columbia and Alaska to attend st.
Martins.

MENTS

The city fathers blew the dust
from off the scissors and slashed mer-
rily away on the city budget which
is now being prepared for the coming
year. at an adjourned meeting Tues
day evening. Aside from the city
clerks and city treasurer's depart
ments practically every department
considered by the council was cut
down.
The entire budget will be consid-
cred at the next meeting for. although
the council worked close to midnight
the members were not able to dis
cuss and take final action on the bud
get as whole.
The assessed valuation of Olympia
Is $3.2SS,661. This is about $4,000
less than last year. The decrease in
being taken over by the government.
The demands of the various offices
for the coming year bring the total
of the budget up to $69,7S4 plus
$3.50 for the city library. This
makes total of $75,144. The
amount that Olympia has to spend
and which the councilmen are figur.
ing on expending for the coming
year is $49,299, raised on Is mill
levy on the stated assessed valuation,
This means that the city council will
have to cut the proposed budget down
$25,845
The council voted to eliminate the
revision of the city ordinances. This
cuts down the budget 5000, as that
was the estimated cost of this work
The $500 to be paid the assistant
, city engineer was left out when the
position OF assistant city engineer was
eliminated rom the engineers de-
partment.
The city health officers proposed
budget asked that the salary of the
city health officer be placed at 5000
instead of $500 as he is receiving al
the present time. The council de
cided that the salary would remain
at 5000.
F. G. Blakeslee. chairman of the
city park board, appeared before the
council and urged the paving of East
Bay avenue and also stated that the
bridge at the park Is in need Of g
great many repairs.
The council discussed the city
library appropriation and practically
decided to allow the library only
$1,250. The library budget called
for $500. The city feels that with
the $3.50 from the city and the
same amount from the county and
$500 from the rent that is received
the library can be run in good shape

BRIDGE CONTRACT
IS FINALLY SIGNED
COMMISSIONERS CLOSE AWARD,
SUBJECT TO ALTERATION
BY CITY

The long-talked- bridge across
the Des Chutns river on West Fourth
street, which has been kicked around
ty and state the last three years, isn't
a football any longer-the county
commissioners Monday awarded the
contract for the construction of the
bridge to Charles G.. Huber of the
Union Bridge company, on bid OF
$132,75O.
M. j. Neylon moved that the com
missioners sign the contract and his
motion was seconded by Commission.
er James Sans. Commissioners Sans
and Neylon voted to award the con
tract, while Commissioner S. Y. Ben
nett voted against it.
The contract, as awarded, calls for
the construction of concrete bridge
with wooden approach from the
Westside. or the $132.750 the coun.
ty pays $124,OO0 and the city has
agreed to pay $3.50.
The city, however, is arranging to
hold bond election to vote the coun
ty $4,000 more. to be used in the
construction of the bridge. If this
election is successful then the coun-
ty will build the bridge entirely OF
concrete and eliminate the wooden
approaches.
Arrangements were made with the
Union Bridge company so that if the
bond election does fail they will put
in wooden approaches, and If it is
successful they will put in the con
crete approaches for the additional
$4,000.
Il voted against awarding the con-
tract at this time" said Commission
er Bennett, because l felt that we
should wait until the city could hold
a bond election, which would not
take long. and award the whole
thing at once AS 1t is now every
thing is up liz the air."
