VASHON WATER SYSTEM
PAYS FIRST DIVIDENDS

Last Saturday morning at about
six thirty fire was discovered in
the storage sheds at the back of
the Smock building formerly occu-
pied by the c. G. Kimmel Store.
Following the alarm which was
spread by the telephone operator
a stream of water was soon flow
ing and despite the wind no dam
age was done except the destruc-
tion of the one small building.
The consensus of opinion is that
if the water had not been avail
able that Vashon would have Suf-
fered a real loss. The volunteer
fire company deplored the lack of
a ladder and pickaxe to better get
at the fire. This will be attended
to Immediately and your contribu-
ton will be appreciated.

was furnished by Mr.. Penny and
his orchestra while the dinner was
being served, and was greatly APP

The purpose of the dinner was
to raise funds to provide for the

this respect they were very sue
