The DroH Mr.. Higbee

The entertaining Mr.. Hgbee, who writes imaginative
fiction on waterfront subjects and publishes them in
pamphlets as campaign literature for use while he
for port commissioner, has broad vein of humor rum
ming thru all his works
For instance the subject of creosoted plng which
is one of his favore topics The Salmon bay terminal,
so he says, is going TO require NEXT YEAR (92i the
expenditure OF Sl25000 TO replace otted creosoted pill
ing.
The wit of this drol fellow The Salmon bay terminal
is situated in fresh water. II does not require any
soed piling. II has II did have any. Con-
sequeny it will not have TO be replaced either in 1924
or at any other date And the untreated ping in place
there shows signs of decay and good for many years
to come And all the png in the pier did not cost S25

Probably Mr.. Hgbee wrote his engineering treatise
