1V1 club, at meeting Thursday night at Browns

State Salt Water Park on the Sound.
The club is comprised of residents along "the ridge
between Seattle and Tacoma. 1t organized to work
for scenic highway on the waterfront between the
two cities.
Members of the state legislature who addressed the
meeting said that the locating of state park half way
between the two cities would be the strongest club the
cities could use with the legislature in demanding an
appropriation for the scenic drive and that, without
such park to unity the attack of the two cities on
legislators they did not believe sufficient strength
could be mustered to get the road money.
The plan of the park Is this:
Citizens Of Seattle and Tacoma are being asked to
donate $4,000, in contributions of 81 and up toward
the $4,000 necessary to buy 80 acres of salt water
park land two miles south Of Des Moines, half way
between the two cities. The state park board will
contribute the other $4,000.
The state will take title to the land and begin imme-
diately to improve it, will put in caretaker and will

one and main object In going. to the

lege. At the legislature he sprang
into the foreground in this fight and
