Outside of the Calendar there has been little news or editorials that you could digest. This monthly sheet was origin- ally intended to disseminate in - .formation on Tukwila Activities, but has starved for suitable material. This is regretable because there have been changes and act- i-vities''. of general :interest to the residents of. Tykwila. Un- fortunately the strictly volun- teer staff of the IIazeinut does not include an active- a." 1 full- time renc,rter. The dependent' oil corn rel` :^._ in - forma un_ from tt,;; s::. ces of news. We have a recent exatple:- The Town of Tukwila has adopt- ed a new Comprehensive Plan. We learned about this adoption by a legal notice in the Renton Chronicle. of -January 3rd, 1962. Being curious, we discovered that this ordinance (#347) had been read three times and then passed at the Dec. 11, 1961 Council meeting. - Town Council business must be published in a legal newspaper, and the use of the .Chronicle for this. purpose is fully understood, and there may be some reason for the =secrecy which withheld this news.from the Hazelnut. . The discrepancies between the map published in the-. Chronicle and the Tukwila zoning map bothers us. We have been assur- ed that the zoning remains un - .changed by the adoption of this ordinance, but are wondering why a plan was accepted that is in conflict with current and pro- jected'zoning.
