one half Of the road, Clarence w
Imeson of Rt. /. Box 336. Graham,
was fined $40 and costs by Justice
Clarence Layton Saturday.
State Patrolman f. F.. Estet
testified his captain is determined
to correct the driving part of the
situation by the arrest method
even if we have to fill the county
jail
Esteb said he can drive his
patrol car so miles an hour over
the black top" half of the road
without danger or damage to him.
self or the car.
Judge Layton held it is not UP
to the state patrol to put up signs
to make drivers stay on theii
own side of the road, and he sug.
gested the county commissioners
consult in getting the other hall
OF the road paved.
He let Imeson off for IS, how.
ever, but said he would owe the
other $3.50 if he ever drives or
that concrete again going the
wrong way. The state charge was
negligent driving"

among others. had asked him for
his views.
During all the years I was
commissioner" he wrote. TIA
coma's experience has proven that
the wisest course to pursue is 10
continue to build new generating
units when more power is required.
There is no doubt but that Ia
comas electric system needs more
power"
As to the Nisquslly site. he went
on: The department secured
water rights on the Nisqually river
years ago and has had in mind the
erection OF a storage dam and ad
ditionsl generating stations at Z

THE only question TO my min'
is that OF sound, economical con

Tacoma's leadership in the electri
field can be maintained.

ing Of an opinion BY Deputy
Prosecutor c.. =. Peterson that
the commissioners hsv. II In their
power 20 grant the request Of
Assessor Fred A. Smith for an
emergency appropriation. II they
find he needs IL 10 run his Offices
normal functions. His request for
four extra deputies for the rest Of
the year also is ION file"
Amount Too Much
Commissioner r. ID. Gleason
broke the silence after the sheriffs
request was read.
Il have no doubt work has In
creased there and that he may
need some help" Gleason sur-
sested. but I'd hate to say he
needs that much"
Purchasing Agent Fritz Geiger
estimated the sheriffs total re-
quest would amount to $4,000.
Il can't see any increase in the
Offices work" Chairman Guy r.
Melton responded. All these
military police in the city of Ia

A Market st. group of public
market operators filed bulky
petition against installation of
meters on their street, but as s.
Rosenthal. one of the spokesman,
pointed out, the protest was not
against the use of parking meters
elsewhere.
Market st. opponents included

asserted Market ST. now has 10
times the parking space turnover
of either Broadway or Pacific ave.
Makes General Attack
Currier attacked meters from
several different angles. He
asserted meters are a failure in
Portland and are ignored in Long
Beach. Calf, only coast cities
having them so far. He denied
need of more funds for the police
department. and asserted that in
the last four years, the police de-
partment has had more than
81 .Oo0. 900 TO spend and hasn't ex-
pended that properly.
Harry W. Andrews. speaking for
the civic traffic committee which
recommended parking meters five
years ago. and for the Chamber
| of Commerce trustees. declared
more persons have been killed ir
traffic accidents in Tacoma al
ready this year than were killed
in all OF last year. He said tbs
