Mr. St. Andre has asked me to inform you that because there is no night ferry it will be impossible to appear at your meeting. Also, the Club does not feel that the cutting of these trees is a reasonable matter for debate, the ownership is in your hands and if you feel that our petition -is unreasonable, it is certainly within your legal kigmts to sell the trees. However, the Club will present an alternative if the Council would rather have the 440000 than keep the trees. And the alternative is that the Club will give $40000 to the City of Anacortes (at the rate of $10.00 per old growth tree) if the City will agree to leave them as they are and to resist any further : attempts to remove them. !

Sometime thereafter the property was bought from the county by Floyd A. Essley and by subsequent conveyance is now the property of the parties above named. The present owners desire to clear their title of any cloud on account of L.I.D. assessments and in order to do so I am authorized and therefor offer to pay the L.I.D. #146 in full, and L.I.D. 143 by pay- ing the principal thereof providing the city will waive the interest, penalty and costs.

At the meeting of the City Council held on November 16, 1943, the Building Comm- ittee was asked to contact Mr. G. N. Dalstad and the Recreation Committee to determine whether or not a unit of the United Service Organization could be established in Anacortes. At this time, Mr. G. N. Dalstad spoke to the City Council and gave his reasons why the program of the Recreation Committee would be better for the City of Anacortes than the program of the United Service Organi- zation if and when the U. S. 0. would establish a unit here in Anacortes. Under the U. S. 0. setup the City of Anacortes by subscriptions or otherwise would have to pay the salaries of the persons operating the Unit and this amount would be rather prohibitive and as thee are many colored men in the different branches of the Service of the United States located in the nearby Air Bases on 71hidby Island, a rather difficult race probleib mould be involved- All Service men regardless of their color are eligible to enter the U. S. 0. Units, while the program of the Recreation Committee would would allow them to make and enforce their own regulations in regard to the Service Men entertained in their unit.

Motion carried. I 608 December 28, 1941, Continued I The following Resolution was presented and read to the City Council: I TMEREAS", In July, 1907, there was created a local improvement district for the purpose of laying a trunk line sewer on N Avenue from 8th Street to the water frone, the said district being known as the ON''Avenue Trunk Sewer District #4, the total cost of the improvement being $3981.00; and TdI-1EREAS, the ledger account of the said district shows that all of the assess- ments in the said district were paid excepting in the sum of 077.98; and dREAS, On the assessment roll of the said district there are thirty-one descriptions of property where no entry was ever made of payment; and, VHERmAS, The assessment roll is the only recourse the City Treasurer has to determine whether the assessment on any particular property has or has not been paid. When the treasurer is called upon to certify as to the payment or nonpayment of an'assessment she cannot certify that the assessment has been paid because there is no entry on the assessment roll that it has been paid; she cannot certify that it has not been paid because there is no -.way to determine what property failed to pay the $77.98. As a result there is a cloud upon the title of thirty- one descriptions of property in the said local ittprovement district because of the failure to make the proper entries in the assessment roll of the district as the money was paid. Therefore, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL That the city treasurer be diredted to make an entry of payment in full as of* the due date opposite each description of property in the said district. where an entry of payment does not already appear.
