her Eskimos were more numerous

pears that simple business ex-

viii benefit most by a reduc-
ton. They should be served,

Persons interested in tide
flat indus trial development
are still at sea as to what is
holding up the program for
acquisition of county-acquired
tax-delinquent properties by
the port commission. Voters
approved overwhelmingly the
proposal for the port district
to take over these acres and
hold them, develop them, lease
them, and otherwise provide
a reservoir of industrial sites
for manufacturing plan t S
that could use the sites. The
project has been approved by
the courts, some transfers
have been made, but to date,
with time moving rapidly, the
industrial project hasn't been
completed.
Construction of new water
ways, filling in of submerged
areas, development of hard
surfaced roads and building
of utility lines of various
kinds cannot be started until
complete title to the county
lands is vested in the port.
The county commissioners say
they are ready and willing to
finish the job. Apparently
legal technicahties are inter-
fering. That is one report.
If so, steps to eliminate these
technicalities should be un-
dertaken, and at once. We
can't afford to halt industrial
development through legal
clubbing.
