The bonds and coupons should be perforated or marked "cancelled ' so that there will be no danger of them getting into circulation. • It will not be possible for us to send you an examiner for several months yet .

I am now in receipt of a letter from Admiral C . C . Bloch, Commander-in-Chief , United States Fleet , which reads as follows : "Unfortunately, the dates for the proposed visit cots at a time when the portion of the Fleet which has been operating in Puget Sound waters will have returned to its normal operating bases for intensive training. The detachment of a vessel to visit Anacortes on this oc- casion would seriously interfere with such essential training. "In making assignments of naval vessels to visit ports , it is my policy to assign vessels operating in the area from which the request is received and at the same time that the visit is requested. In this connection , it frequently occurs that visits can be arranged to Puget Sound ports by ships scheduled to arri ire •or depart from the Navy Yard at Bremerton . However, the current overhaul schedule at the Navy Yard indicates that no vessels will arrive or depart therefrom which could 11 be made available to visit Anacortes. • "In view of the above , I regret that it will be impossible to assign any vessels to visit Anacortes August 3rd to 5th, inclusive . "Assuring you of my desire to provide visits from units of the Fleet to ports on Puget Sound whenever such visits do not interfere with the essential training of the Fleet and its administration , I am" • "While I regret my inability to furnish you more favorable information , I assure you I have been very glad to take up this matter for you . • Yours very truly, (Signed) Lewis B.Schwellenbach" After reading the letter, a motion was made by Alden and seconded by Dildine that the above communication be accepted and placed on file .

Gentlemen : 876. "At the last regular meeting of the city council a petition signed by the Voitus Furniture Company, James Mc Lachlin and T. C . Brooks was brought to the attention of the city council which petition asked that certain amendments be made to Ordinance # 876, known as the Plumbers. Ord- inance . "This petition was referred to me to be considered and reported upon. "I have tale honor to report upon the same as follows : "The petition seeks an amendment requiring a plumber before he can receive a city license to do plumbing to produce a .certificate of competence iss- ued by any city in the State of Washington , or to furnish a journeyman ' s card. "This subject has been litigated in this state and passed upon by our supreme court, (Ritchie vs Smith, 42nd Washington a.te Reports, at page 237) in which the court said : that an act requiring plumbers to secure a license from an examining board infringes the state and federal constitutions depriving them of the pursuit of happiness and liberty to pursue their chosen calling. "This decision, however, does not prevent a city from having a plumb ing inspector with power to direct a re-installation of plumbing work where it is found to be faulty. The workmanship of the plumber is the best evidence of the plumber's skill. "The other portion of the petition seeks to extend and enlarge the scope of work that shall be designated as plumbing work such as the plac- ing of a hot water coil or a water back in a stove , the re-installation of a hot water tank, the repairs to or installation of water pipes. "From the standpoint of public safety, public health or sanitation I cannot see the necessity of having licensed men to do these odd jobs. • �..: 7 9 December 21, 1939 (Continued) (•City Attorney' s report continued) "I respectfully recommend that the petition be not granted.
