when he entered the home, and before
medical aid could be obtained passed

of his death.
Mr.. Pierson was for many years a
resident of Vashon and was well known
all over the Island For several years
he had been the local representative

capacity had served the residents of
the two Islands.

UP-TO-DATE MINIATURE GOLF
COURSE

This week transfer Of property oc.
cured at Vashon when Elmer Harmelinn
purchased from Mrs. Sarah Eernissee
the lot south of the J. M. Siivey
property.
Work will start soon on the erection
Of an up-to-tte -minute Shell service
station, with public rest rooms, and all
desirable present day features. Happy
Jack Wendler will be in charge of the
establishment.
The service station will occupy the
front Of the lot. while in the back will
be first class miniature golf course,
tennis courts and picnic grounds, all
of which will fill a long felt want.
Vashon Island being unique in its lack
of these.
Mr.. Harmeling feels that the tourist
trade of the past season more than
justifies his venture, and anticipates
that the people of the Island will well
come having an additional attraction
of this nature.

BUSINESS MEN WORRIED OVER
FINANCIAL CONDITION OF
SEATTLE CITY OWNED
STREET RAILWAY
Banks Are Asked to Accept Warrants
Covering Expenses to Prevent
Default on Bond

Seattle, (SpeciaD business
leaders of the City of Seattle, to whom
Mayor Frank Edwards has committed
the financial problems of the municipal.
street railway system, wrestled with
the problem of making the public-own-
ership venture stand on its own feet
and not bog down and become bur-
den on the taxpayers of the city, there
was gathered together o total of
Sl2s.OOo and sent to New York last
week.
Thus the city saved its face tempor-
arily by averting default on its bonded
obligation. The immediate financial
crisis has passed. it is declared by City
Treasurer Collier. If the banks and
business houses of the city will continue
to accept warrants covering payroll
expenses until revenues catch up with
expenses, the lines may not be COM
PEELED to borrow money from the banks,
he said.
Face to face with the open hostility
of irate citizens whose protests con-
tinue to deluge ti's city council, arous-
ed by the proposal that a general tax
OF mills be levied in support of the
municipal car lines, the sponsors of
municipal ownership are struggling to
avoid the necessity of such tax.
Despite the apparent futility of
avoiding such action for long, it is their
contention that such movement
would arouse storm of disapproval at
time when statewide campaign to
put the public further into the public
utility business is being waged. and
that it would reveal as an object lesson
in the largest city of the state that
such publicly owned properties eventu-
ally do become an additional direct
burden on the taxpayers.
This is the situation to which
straight-thinking business people of
the City of Seattle point when asked
for their support of initiative No. 1, the
district power bill, to be voted upon at
the November election. 1t is section
six of that measure which provides
that three all-powerful commissioners
in any district can levy direct tax
each year in an unlimited amount
upon all property of the district to
make up deficits in operation and bond
interest and bond redemption.

ARTEsIAN WELL is OPENED ON
MAURY ISLAND

Recently A. M. Rivers, after digging
only about twelve feet below the sur
face Of the ground. opened. up am
/. artesian well that rises four feet
above the surface OF the earth and has
flow of 1900 gallons of clear, cold,
pure water day. In opening up this
main vein Mr.. Rivers struck four
smaller streams of water, but feeling
certain that artesian water could be
obtained he kept on until he opened
up the large well.
The origin of the water is mystery.
Mr.. Rivers feels that 1t cannot be from
the Island and it is hard to believe that
1t comes under the Sound from the
mainland to emerge 200 feet above sea
level on the Island.
1t is encouraging to know Of the eX-
istence of such stream of water, and
means a fine supply for the people Of
the community.

1881 Budget to Provide
Extensive Road Work
On Island, Says Brinton

The following letter To the News
Record from County Commissioner
w. B. Brinton is self-explanatory, and
shows that vashonA Maury Island Is
slated to receive It's share of the coun-
ty road money, II the present plans
are carried out.
I'm carrying cut the policy inaug-
urated last year, l am attempting to
keep the newspapers informed as to
what progress is made in the budget
for the needs Of their localities.
"As you no doubt know, the vashon
Commercial Club co-operated with us
in advising as to the needs of the Is
land and emphasized the necessity
of making provisions for the two APP
proaches to the Island. I have kept
that in mind in making the prelimin-
airy budget for 1881. In the Wharves
and Docks budget provision is made
for $4,000 for a new landing at Va
shon Heights.
"In the Road and Bridge budget for
the ensuing year is $4,000 which has
been set up for the Burton Tallequah
road This is more than we intenueu
to spend on this road but because of
the bids for the Farm to Market pro-
ject on this road being rejected the
tenders being too Might've have in
creased the budget for this year in the
hope that the road can be built with
our own men and equipment. The
$1,000 that was in the Farm to Mar
ket budget for the Burton Tallequah
road has been transferred to the west
side of the Island road and $4,000
more allotted for the coming year.
"In the Road District Budget we
have included the Marshall Armstrong
Road, Krokset Petition, Magnolia
Beach, the road from Rosehilla to
Manzanita, Glenacres and the Colvos
Dock
This total makes very heavy pro-
gran. for the island for 193l-amount-
ing to $56,30O, which, with the main
tenance of existing roads means a
much larger expenditure than has ever
before been made on the Island. I
hope we will be able to retain each of
these projects in the final budget
without any increase in the tax levy.
Thanking you for past cooperation.
