REPORT NUMBER l.

TO rne Ed1Cor:
Exception is taken to "A Year Is Too Long,, the
editorial appearing in the cooperator week,
which the editor appears to have attempted to re1e
gate to oblivion very alive transportation plan.
For his information offer outline Of
recent events.
The Transportation Committee, reporting to the
Citizens Association at regular meeting December
l., 1889, outlined the cooperative small unit plan
and submitted Herewith detailed working analysis
and balance sheet Of the proposed operation. Cen
era1 discussion resulted In a motion to appoint
review COMM ttee, which action entirely justi-
fled in view Of the Importance of the matter under
consideration, this being a proposed solution to
what the editor has indicated the commlni ty's
No. problem. Any proposed solution should be sub
mttted to searching scrutiny before wheels put
in motion.
With the holiday season closely following appoint
ment of the review committee, it not possible
complete its study of the Transportation
report in time to report to the Association in Jan
airy. Hence this action deferred until the Feb
ruary meeting of the Association. The review
mtttees report confirmed the findings Of the Trans
portation Committee and recommended approval Of the
cooperative plan the only feasible Of
plans viii ch had been considered.
The body Of the Association approved the plan at
this meeting and group of interested individuals
Immediately proceeded to take preliminary steps to-
wards working out the details of organi zation fl
nancing, selection Of equiment etc. Much progress
has been made and definite steps
they Will be publicized. In the meantime, all In
terested persons invited to contact the Chairman
of this Com1 ttee.
There is attached copy Of the Transportation
basis for setting up this operation. We feel that
this report should be printed in full, important

SUPPORT the Ordinance

The public health ordinance which Will be die
Monday night at Town Council meeting appears
be, after careful reading, model piece of leg
islation we'll suited to Greenbelts special problems
It is quite evident that Mayor Warner and Council
Wa1ther wrote this ordinance to carry from
the mark reached by the previous public health
dinance of June II, 1889. The new measure meets
certain shortcomings in the present set-up and
presents definite Improvement in several of its
poets.
There provided in the proposed ordinance q
part time public health officer at a salary Of at
least 800 year, full time nurse at salary Of
at least $500, and such other employees the
town manager agrees needed. protective clause
stipulates that the health officer shall Of
flee employment with any other governmental ag-
ency while serving In this capacity, and that the
shall devote full time to her duties. Both
plcyees must be Greenbelt residents.
Authority of the health officer is 1.-:reased in
his relations with other employees in his department
and in enforcement of quarantine and other public
health throughout the town. This should
prevent another impasse such occurred during
last year.
One aspect of the proposal which may be regard
ed by with criticism is the provtso for adv
isory public health committee. The idea itself is
cellent but in order to be fully Of
the town the comm tee would have membership of IS
according to the present plan. We have doubt
to the efficiency of so large COMM ttee.
Only praises, however, can be directed towards
the ordinance whole, especially for the careful
detail in which the duties and responsible of
the proposed health officer outlined. The next
Council meeting should draw packed house to hear
this bill analysed and to urge its adoption.

Bull Attacks
Spanaway Man

Gored by a bull that held him
prisoner for 10 minutes Friday
morning, Charles Thacker, 63-year-
old Spanaway rancher, suffered
multiple injuries.
Thacker was brought to Tacoma
by his son after escaping from the
enraged animal that attacked him.
He was gored in the left thigh, sus-
tanning six-inch wound. He also
suffered several fractured ribs and
mild shock from the mauling under
the hoofs of the bull.
DR.. Maglioli of the Pierce County
hospital staff said Thacker was
attempting to lead the bull out of
barn when the animal reared
knocking him down, and then
rushed the PROSTATE form.
Hackers son repeatedly came
to the rescue and distracted the
bulls attention long enough to
drag his father away from the
threatening animal.
