THE short sightedness of
our City Fathers in toler-
ating a sewer outlet at the
head of the city waterway is
inexcusable.
That sewer has officially
been called a menace to pub
lie health It's certainly old
fashioned enough to disgrace
Tacoma's civic pride. Besides.
it smells.
However, there is more to
the story than just that. This
week that sewer cost Tacoma
in industrial payroll and
materials-exactly a quarter
of a million dollars annual
income. The Martinolich Ship
building Corp. is closing its
plant on the city waterway
and moving to San Diego
after 40 years successful
operation in Tacoma.
For five years the pioneer
concern has protested the
black. sticky, nauseous, filthy
muck which issues from that
sewer and befouls their ship
wards and the splendid boats
they build. They could find
nobody in officialdom who
would listen.
So Tacoma has a so man
payroll chopped off. 1t has
lost a valuable market for
thousands of dollars worth of
materials. 1t has lost face
if you please, to California.
Money talks,
ALTHOUGH the roads lead
IA ing the Narrows bridge
on the peninsula side leave
much to be desired, the Ia
coma approach on this side
likewise needs serious atten-
ton. Efforts to get paving
action on Sixth Avenue have
begged down very badly up to
the present. Nothing appar-
entity is being done to get this
much needed improvement
started.
The highway from Proctor
street west is too narrow, the
present paving is full of ruts
and what otherwise might be
a fine approach to the bridge
is only passable. We can't get
any compliments from tour
lists on that score.
Sixth avenue from Proctor
street east, to at least Sprague
needs widening, repaving,
and, of course, those street
car rails need removing. Traf-
fic on the thoroughfare has
increased tremendously; driv-
ing hazards also have in
creased.
The situation cries out for
action. Public officials, city,
county and state-all are con-
cerned-should get busy i'm
mediately and get this i'm
provement under way. The
summer weather, ideal as it
is for construction, won't last
forever.

Made For The
Teachers

In the closing hours of the Vir-
ginia Assembly the State Senate
and the House of Delegates both
passed by rather decisive votes an
increase from the state for teach
ers' salaries. In round figures each
county, Dickinson includede, will
receive about $50 extra for each
teacher unit fro mstate revenue.
A rough estimate would indicate
that Dickinson County will re-
ceive from the state to augment
teachers salaries about $4,000.
The Assembly also specified that
this increase from state funds did
not license school officials in coun-
ties to make a corresponding cut
in the county's share.
1t is our understanding that re-
gradless of what the county is pay
ing teachers from it's own sources
of revenue that the amount of
money coming from the state is
to increase the county's fund for
paying teachers. This is the spirit
of the law, and it is our firm be-
lief that the representatives of the
people assembled in Richmond, in
Guiding our own, voted for an in
crease in teachers salaries and not
to provide a loop hole whereby
local school bodies can finance
transportation and more school
buildings. 1t was voted for the
teachers and the teachers should
have the increase in pay.

Three-Mile Limit

The idea Of a three-mile limit OF
jurisdiction off the coast was first
set down by Hugo Grotius, bril-
liant Dutch lawyer, in 1908, in his
Mare Liberum," wherein he OBJ
served that the sovereignty and
jurisdiction of any state extended
as far over the marginal seas as
those who sail in that part Of the
sea can be compelled from the shore
as il they were on land" A little
later Cornelius van Bynkershoek,
a judge of the supreme court of APP
peal of Holland. in his de Do
minion Maris Dissertation, Caput II,
pages 1854, 365, expressed Grotius'
idea by saying that the control Of
the land over the sea extends as
far as cannon will carry and that
''the control from the land ends
where the power of mems weapons
ends"
