Fox Islanders
Want Service
To Discuss Ferry
Pluns Saturday

Fox Island all-year commut -
and summer residents alike began
workinr Monday on a petition for
ferry vice after opening of the
Narrows briage this summer at the
suggestion OF the county commits
sioners with whom a group of
islanders held a conference Mon
day morning.
The island residents are faced
with the loss of service when the
Washington Navigation Co. with
draws its Sixth Ave.-Fox Island
Point Fosdick ferries.
Favored plan of the islanders,
but one which has not yet met
encouragement from the state toll
bridge authority. is one that they
be given a small ferry between
the island and Wollachet bay and
a combination rate with the Mar
rows bridge toll.
Proposals to take up the abal-
doned boat service all involve
straight runs from the Sixth ave.
landing to the island. which would
require larger boat than the
short run suggested.
Heading the group of islanders
demanding adequate service Mon
day at the commissioners meet
ing were F. W. Ward, Ed Erickson.
Fred Phillips, Fred Firmin and Art
Francis.
They announced plans for a
meeting on the island Saturday
night to start work on a petition
to State Highway Director and
Toll Bridge Chief Lacey V.
Murrow.

Aid Defense Drive
Prentis Sends PIeu for
Plunt Amortization
To House Committee

The National Association Of Man
ufacturers has thrown its weight
behind drive to amend the tax law
70 that "the bottleneck which Is
keeping industry from expanding for
defense production" can be elimi-
mated.
H. w. Prentis. jr., president Of the
association, declared today In q mes
sage to members OF the House Ways
and Means Committee:
Prompt passage Of . nine-point
cost-recovsry amortization provision
would encourage the erection 81 fac
tories and machinery which must be
built to satisfy urgent national de-
fense needs, although these new
facilities be entirely worthless at the
end Of the emergency period"
At the same. time, however, Mr..
Prentis indorsed temporary excess
profits tax ITO help meet the costs
Of the emergency defense program"
He said that amendment Of the
tax law, to allow for plant expansion
would serve two purposes. First, he
asserted, production would be stim-
uleted. and, secondly, - sound
amortization provision win stimulate
business activity, put idle men to
work and produce badly needed tax
,Hvenue for the Federal Treasury in
the present fiscal year."
