Minutes Approved. The following communication frorn the Washington Surveying and Rating Bureau was read to the City Council: Communication from Surveying "Washington Surveying and Rating Bureau and Rating Seattle, Washington ! Bureau on March 19, 1940 fire Limits. "Ir. John G. Dorcy City Clerk Anacortes, Washington "Dear Sir:' "`de have for acknowledgment your letter of March 15, 1940 relative to a proposed change in the fire limits to permit the erection of frame structures in the area bordering Commercial Street north of Second Street. "We feel that this area should not be deleted from the fire limits to permit an inferior type of construction since the area now is highly congested with frame structures and subject to conflagrations. Furthermore, it is not a good ,policy to modify building regulations to accommodate certain property owners since such concessions frequently lead to a complete break -down of such regulations as may be adopted. Our surveyor will be glad, however, to make an investigation of this matter when next in your city, but ti^pili probably be a matter of four weeks before he will be in that territory. PJG:eo Very truly yours, J. K. WOOLLEY, Manager By (Signed) Paul J. Braun Engineer " After a short discussion a motion was made by Valentine and seconded by Okerlund that the above communication be tabled until the Field Agent from the Washington Surveying and Rating Bureau makes a survey of the fire limits in the City of Anacortes.

Dorcy City Clerk Anacortes, Ylashington "Dear Sir; ti "Replying to your letter of October 11, we will try and answer the questions asked in the order in which you stated them. "We believe the law relating to parks intends that the fund should maintain itself. In other words, as you say, you are entitled to levy 1 mill, but is our opinion that any miscellaneous revenues used to balance that particular budget should be derived from park receipts only. Other miscellaneous receipts would go to other funds that are entitled to them. "I will quote you from the State of Washington on the Relation of M. L. Morris et al., Respondents, v. The City of Seattle et al., Appellants, relative to the second question. This case is found in the "Advanced Sheets of Washington DecisionstA, Vol. 105, No. 5, of September 11, 1940, Page 230. The opinion is too long to copy in its entirety, but vie think the following excerpts from it relates to your situation. "This court in a long line of decision has sustained the right of the city council, in the interest of economy and efficiency, to abolish and consolidate civil service position; to impose duties on an employee which may embrace not only services of the position for which he holds a civil service rating, but services which; if considere C3 - 8 November 5, 1940 ((Continued) alone, might come within the purview of duties of position under other Communication -civil service classifications.

Mayor and City Council Anacortes, Washington "The condition of 12th Street from Commercial Avenue, west to Georgia Avenue, is such that it not only is a menace to the health of its residents, but also a very dangerous traffic hazard to the numerous passenger cars and truckswhich daily pass over this street. "In the past, attempts have been made to reduce this hazard, caused by heavy clouds of dust, by spreading oil, or pulp liquor on the street, neither of which have been satisfactory. "It is therefore the request of the undersigned residents that the City Council authorize the improvement of 12th Street by some form of per- manent surfacing, and due to the low cost, vie suggest that this be of the macadam type. This type will eliminate the necessity of operating the grader over the street, and will require practically no repairs or upkeep for many years to come. "We believe that the improvement of 12th Street as outlined bLbove, will benefit the City of Anacortes as a whole, and that if funds for such -im- provement, are not available, they should be made available at once." This petition was signed by 85 names of persons who desire to have this improvement made to 12th Street and Oakes Avenue. Mr. G. W1_ Krebs and several other persons living on 12th Street or,,0akes Avenue were present at the meeting and spoke to the City Council at this time. Mr. T. G.
