PUBLIC HEALTH
SURVEY IN CITY

Public health nurses and mem
bers of the pre-school division of
the PIT. A. will make a canvass Of
several hundred Tacoma homes
next week in a survey TO determine
the extent Of diphtheria immuniza-
ton and smallpox vaccination
among children under 10 years Of
age.
The survey was announced by
Or. Ralph Gregg. city health
director.
These visits to mothers will
serve to remind them OF the i'm
portance of securing immunization
for those children who are at
present unprotected" said Dr..
Gregg.
The survey will furnish data
essential to the national health con-
test sponsored locally by the
Chamber of Commerce.
THE results will also be of value
for appraisal and guidance of the
present immunization program"

Protests DiscOntinnance of
Water Service in Falkland

Protest Of Fred Geisler against
discontinuance of his city water
service in the Parkland suburban
district was read before the city
council Monday and turned over
to the city's legal advisers for
reply.
Geisler, resident of Falkland,
complained that he had received
notice as an individual user Of
city water that he would have to
find some other source of water
before summer as the city's nearby
Green river gravity trunk main is
to be relocated over a short cut
route some distance away.
His case is typical of that of a
large number Of residents of the
Falkland vicinity. who through a
mutual group. obtained handy
and inexpensive water source at
the time the city's first Green
river line was laid through their
district many years ago. They
merely made a connection 70 the
city's huge 60-ineh line. Since then
the Parklsnd system has been eX-
teiried over large area
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1939-02-07

Now the old line. badly decom-
posed in many places, is to be
abandoned and new line built
along a short cut. The question
now is one of the city's obligation
TO those persons outside the city
limits who have been supplied from
the city conduit
Parkland district people have
been urged by the utilities depart
ment to construct their own lines
to connect with the new city main
when completed. but this would be
somewhat expensive as about
mile or more of line would have
TO be laid.
Geisler complained in long
letter that he had spent more than
S400 on plumbing and water supply
al his home ana that at the time
he connected with the city. he re-
ceived no indication that the city
reserved the right 10 diSconnect
service.
Falkland leaders have already
taken up their problem with the
state public service department.

don and n. l. Kyle.
The authority would be en-
powered to buy any existing ferry

authorized to use eminent domain
proceedings against those refusing
to sell out.
Cities or counties could con-
tribute money. labor and material
toward establishment or operation
OF ferry lines by the state. The
authority could issue revenue bonds
to finance its operations, retired
out of ferry tolls, which IL could
regulate to return sufficient reve-
nues.
Private ferry lines would be
barred from operating within 10
miles of any state ferry route. The
would be given the
right to recommend purchase of
certain ferry lines but could not
require the toll bridge authority
