ceedmgs:

VASHON HIGHWAY
CONTRACT TO Be LET
Bids For Paving To Be Open
ed Monday, August 16-
Work Will Soon Start

Bids will be opened on Monday
the 10th for the paving of 612
miles of highway on Vashon is
land. This contract will cover the
highway from the north end of
the island to Center. The pave
ment is to be concrete, seven inch
es in thickness and l6 feet wide,
with 20 feet on the curves. A two
foot shoulder Of gravel is to fringe
the concrete. 1t is estimated the
whole expense will be about 5000,
600. or about 100000. per mile.
In this connection we might add
that the report of the receipts and
expenditures of the ferry Wash
ington for July shows that it is
not only within the estimated
budget, but is a revenue maker
showing an actual surplus of earn
ings over expenses. 1t is now
proven success, and we venture TO
suggest the next step will be for
a nlght service. Perhaps not this
season, but next season at the lat
est. j. l.. Anderson, Supt of Trans
'portation, has shown his ability by
results and not by words alone.
