VaShOn Island
Boats Leave 7S
Autos on Dock
Trans-bay Service Is Inadequate
to Handle Labor Day
Holiday-make-s
BY C. LUCILLE BUTLER

IHTE WON'T get home till morning-maybe not
wv even then! Some sang it, some cussed it, while
the wise cleaned the shelves of the little dock
store to the last cracker and bologna stock scared
high.
Traffic congestion reached its elimination point La
Dor day, at the Vashon island end Of the Seattle
Vashon Heights-Harper ferry, owing to inadequate
service rendered by the Ktsap County Transportation
company's ferry.
But 10 autos were taken aboard from Vashon
Heights for Seattle between the hours Of 10 a. m
and 5:15 p. m leaving, by actual count at that time
rs autos lined up the dock and highway with but
gmmering hopes of reaching Seattle before the wee
sma hours.
How come? With two ferries on the run? Well
form your own opinion from the facts.
Being legal holiday the Sunday schedule was in
effect For the uniformed the ferries leave Seattle
make an hours run TO Vashon Heights. in King
county. On the return trip they load at Harper call
at Vashon, and back to Seattle.
All! You've guessed it-they load at Harper!

was lucky enough to be of the IA taken aboard
leaving far she could count up to the turn IN the
road-7S cars behind.
You see the ferries start home from Harper, and
take all the there are, and when they get to
Vashon they haven't any room for more-thats all!
Listen!
Three fifteen: The small ferry Liberty" pulls into
the dock with cars bullying fore and aft. She lets
off one car and takes two Chorus Means, groans
and Kisses from the waiting list) Inquiries develop
the fact that the large ferry Washington" which
made the 10 a. m call has been laying over at Har-
per thru the midday, when she could have made at
least one round trip in the meantime.
Three forty: Great excitement among the watchers

anxiety manifest. Crackers and sausage at rest in
mid-air while calculation rampant as to how

SHE WILL TAKE ON.
Down the dock, up the HILL around the corner-who
knows how far-the road is lined with And by
dnt of crowdng, crashing smashing-14 cars are
squeezed aboard-and the happy holiday seekers after
taking bitter inventories of busted tenders and banged
up radiators, sink back into semi-coma thru which
lurid thoughts ficker-not much because they had
to wait on holiday, but why, oh why don't they
give vashon island at least an even break with the
