Motion carried. The letter is as follows : • Mr. W. R. Burke , ' , Chairman Water Committee Seattle , Jan. 10, 1930 . Anacortes , Wash. "Now that there seems to be an excellent chance to get together on the proposed new rates for water which precedes the sub- mission to vote of the people of the bond „i.ssue covering such I/ . new installation as the council may finally determine upon, we would like to suggest the following : that we be employed as your engineers for the project develop- . ment , upon the understanding that we will render assistance in preparing the plan and system ordinance that is to be submitted to the vote of the people and that we will immediately begin • the preparation of tentative design, which upon accptance of the council will become the final design. That for these services we will receive nothing should by any chance the • bond issue fail of passage upon final submission. If, However, the bond issue does pass and the project goes ahead; then we are to be paid our fees according to an ag- reement to be reached before we are employed. J t02 . i. January 21, 1930 "The reasons for making this suggestion are , One: the very limited time left before the next summer's demand will be upon you. Two : much time must be consumed by - legal requirements before you can definitely spend money on the project . Three : that the preparation of design , with all the painstaking care surrounding, takes more time than is easily accounted for to those who are not familiar with the infinite detail required. Four: Becuase we have confidence , inview of the vital necessity, that the bonds will be voted by the people . Five : t'_at if our suggestion is adopted the time used to satisfy legal requirements can also be used in the preparation of the design. Should this suggestion meet with the approval of the council, much extremely valuable time can be saved without in anyway costing the City of Anacortes anything. In other words, the gamble would be ours. rr,e would appreciate it if you, as chairman of the water committee , will bring this suggested offer to the attention of the various members of the council. We of course , are ready to come to Anacortes at almost any time we may be asked to come. " (Signed) W. C. Morse Co . by W. C . Morse.

'Your Judiciary Committee, to which you referred two ordinance authroizing certain betterments of of the municipal water supply system, using the Skagit River as the source of sypply, beg leave to report as follows : • The first ordinance submitted, providing for the issuance of ;'450,000 special water revenue bonds, annears to us to be deficient in as much as it does not provide the necessary )50, 000 for a new filter unit which must be financed and installed in order to make available any increased water supply in excess of three (3) million a.11ons er day. The cost of stand-by power for pumping equipment necessary to make Slhistle Lake reservoir opera ive under this plan , will needlessly increase the operating expense. The cost of filtering industrial water is so higlit ath c;reap rater can not be supplied to exiisting and future industries. The higher cost of operation will in our opinion result in .rater department expenses exceeding possible revenues. 'le therefore respectfully recommend the rejection of this ordinance. The second ordinance submitted providing, for the issuance of ;600,000 special revenue bonus and of ., 1Q0, .;00 general obligation bonds , provides a capacity of ten (lj) million gallons per day and has the advantage of, greatest simplicity and low cost of operation as well as rnaintenancc . It utilizes ..iiistle sake as . a settling basin nd also a 300 million gallon storage reservoir, substitutes a gravity tunnel outlet for stand-by pumping .rith its attendant uncertainty of oaeration , •eliminates all future filter units for industrial water with their excessiv operating costs, and piovdes a 20-inch industrial later main having more than double the capacity of a 16-inch main , will materially assist in reducing insurance rates, and will under all conditions produce surplus revenuer and will ultimately provide cheaper water rates 1/ • to consumers . "le therefor respectfully recommend the passage of this ordinance . " .

I hereby return the above mentioned ordinance to the city council with the following objections : 1st. Ordinance No . 77 calls for a 20-inch pipe line for the main sup1tly line from the SkagitRiver to the city. This size is limited to about five ( 5) ,aiwlion gal. of water per day, and I believe that a 24-inch main should be installed with a capacity of about ten ( 10) million gals. per day. " 2nd. Under equal conditions the friction loss of a 204inch pipe • is about twice as much as a 24 inch. 3rd. The 20-inch pipe is to be an 8-inch guage or about 1/8 inch. thick, while a 3/16 inch pipe should be planned to giale added strength and life. 4th. The plan proposed calls for a one million gallon reservoir or less than eight p(8 ) hours reserve , while in my opinion 'Whistle Lake with a three hundred (3u0) million storage reservoir should not be neglected, both on account of its position and size . 5th. . it.i a gravity flow* out of .ilistle Lake if it .;ere used as a reservoir and settlin;; basin the city need never fear a shortage. 6th. Any demand for an increase over four and a half millions can be pumped more cheaply through a 24-inch pipe even to a higher level 7th. Reduction in insurance rates can only be expected t3y. using Whistle Lake under a gravity system. Motion to bring A motion was made by Councilman McCracken, seconded by Burke , that the matter up under unfinished be brought up under unfinished business. Mayor Haley puled the motion out business of order, saying that the law stated that the council should proceed at once to reconsider the vote by „hich the ordinance was passed, and refused to put the motion.

"This applicant seeks from the city a franchise ,and the granting of a franchise I consider z serious matter and constitutes the granting of valuable property rights , therefore a matter that should be thoroughly considered by all city officials before it is finally granted. The applicants assured me sometime ago that they would furnish me copies of all franchises granted them in the Northwest but to date have failed to do so . The franchise as proposed by the applicant is very brief and after exmination of the situation I feel that I would have segera1 - suggestions to make to the Mayor and Council from a legal standpoint , I which should be thoroughly considered before a franchise is granted. However, the applicant not having furnished the information it has promised, I do not feel qualified to make such a report at this time . Regardless of the terms of the franchise , however, I feel that the • following legal point is conclusive of the entire question of the • matter in its present form. I call your attention to Ordinance No . 355, which provides that before the introduction of an ordinance granting any franchise • the applicant shall cause the same to be published in full for two weeks in the afficiP..1 paper at the expense of the applicant . Said Ordinance further provides that the applicant shall make a deposit of 500 for the purposes as set forth in the ordinance.

My attention was called to this statement by. an. agent in flee audience after the meeting last evening and I have taken occasion to check it through this morning and I find that the statement was an error, that surety companies not only can , but frequently do , coinsure on the same job. I have called up a aaupber of tie • surety companies, including the United Pacific , the larger of the two Washington companies , andhave been informed—that from a bond- • writing standpoint no objection is offered to the 100% coverage. Inasmuch as the vote was a tie vote , and I am inclined to believe that the erroneous statement that I made was the cause of the division , I have taken occasion in the letter going forward to contractors today specifying changes in the specifications , to have 50% stricken out and 100% written in in lieu thereof. I have taken this liberty because the time between now and the opening of bids is hhort and if the council does not desire to confirm this action on my part the door is not closed to the 50% coverage , but unless the notice goes forward immediately the doer would be closed for the 100% coverage. • Each bond man that I talked to , including the Washington Company, expressed his gratification that the clause giving preference to companies with local agents had been inserted" .

Minutez dispensed The reading of the Journal for the previous meoting-was dispensed with. with The Mayor opened the meeting with the following remarks : Mayor speaks " Before opening the bids for. our voter project , I would like to t,.ank the members of the city council for their patience and attention in getting the matter concluded as quickly as possible for the best interest of the people of Anacortes. ti+e have had many long meetings in discussing all phases of it and have reached the point of awarding a contract for the work. It has been the desire throughout these meetings that the people of Anacortes be given first consideration during the progress of the construction proper. ',le want local citizens to be employed, and especially those who have long - been residents here =,nd participated in our efforts to make Anacortes a successful, growing city. Following this same line of thought , it has been , and is now, our desire that all materials used in the carrying out of the work be purchased locally, where it is possible to secure these materials • in Anacortes. Of course, it will become necessary to obtain many articles elsewhere , but it is , and has been throughout our discussions , the wish of this body that where materials cannot be furnished within the State, that certainly the United States hold preference.
