flight of sixty miles over and

mean a sustained flying mile

about 100 times the consumption

much more fuel. Even IL Der

OFFER THANK YOU"


Editor, The Times: To The
Tacoma Times and staff writers
in Olympia, may we say thank
you from the bottoms of our
hearts for the splendid articles
which appeared in your paper
pointing out some of the basic
truths relative to vicious house
bill 81.
Your superb articles concern
ing the interest of Eddie Jansen,
as well as the public's interest in
this fight, were an inspiration
for us to carry on against odds
which seemed insuperable for a
while.
This atrocious bill finally died
in the senate rules committee
and we feel that a large part of
our success in its defeat was
due TO your splendid cooperation.
Please accept our thanks and
convey our gratitude to Mr..
Voorhees, and Mr.. Golden.

 The total amount reported was $560 less than at the second report a year ago.

 Neigi1borS in and around Luke and Fairmount streets certainly have something to complain about after the accidents between two cars which took place Tuesday evennig. This is the second of its kind in less than month, and 1t does seem as though the traffic squad could give this bad corner some serious consideration, especially in regard to the many school children who have to pass this way on their way to both St. Francis and Mulcahy schools. A stop sign or some sort of a caution should be installed there. The taxpayers on Euke street who use their cars all winter cer- tainly find 1t bad going up Luke street right at this corner with the ice and water which stalls there and then the freezing weather makes it very bad driving, now with that hardship out of the way, we have the automobiles to contend with.
