By Mayor Charles 0. B-.ker
The Legislature has adjourned.
Many people throughout the State
must have given a sigh.of relief
at midnight, April 1st. Here in
Tukwila it was a time to cele-
brate. The Session was over and
S.S.-2Z4 had been defeated.
Teeieeht 1 have reviewed many
j. tars and articles -that were
for and against this proposed
meesure that would have permitted
a Port District to condemn and
acquire more than two thirds of
cur town. It is interesting:to
note ttat the Seattle Area Indus-
trieICouncil and some of the
Port Districts were apparently
tha mein supporters of this bill.
PeveSwing the o'eposition we find
many from private enterprise,
both large and small, who are
violently opposed to public or-
ganizations, such as Port Dist-
ricts, competing with private in-
dastry. Our support also came
from many individuals. Their
opinions can be summarized in the
statement of one man who comment-
ed Th pert " the conflict is be-
tween traditional concepts of
private property and the newer
sociLl planning concepts in which
it is assumed that the Government
can more intelligently manage
property than can private•owners.f,
Many factors contributed to our
saccess in defeating this bill.
some of these should be enumer-
ated. First, we found in our
district Legislator, kovery Garret
a man sympathetic to our cause
and willing to fight for us.
After our hearing on March 3rd a
constant barrage of pressure was
exerted on Avery in an effort to
release the bill. Throughout the
remainder of the Session he re-
fused to yield or have the bill
amended. His Leadership and
etaunch support was invaluable to
our town and our cause.
second, the vast majority of
our citizens still believe in
private enterprise and oppose the
ever increasing trend of govern-
ment ownership. They believe in
the right and freedom of an indi-
vieual or Company to either de-
veloe or sell the land held in
( Cont. to Coln 2, Pg- 3 )
Tukwila is YOUR TOWN
Are you informed on Town affairs?
,.:,,uestion. Will Ordinance No. 317,
relating to local improvements and
special assessments, increase your
taxes?

cation of Christianson Road?

ownership; not dn the condemnation
and land g:abs in the guise of
public improvement. These people
come to assist us in our efforts
tote allowed, to develop our land
in an orderly and American way.
Last, but not least, in our
effort to defeat this bill, it
became necessary for all who help-
ed to work night and day. Their
efforts were effective.
The victory won is but tempor-
ary. We have been successful
twice but the shadow of the Port
still lingers on. Every owner of
Valley land finds this to be true
when an opportunity comes to sell
his land. Prospective buyers are
told that the Port has not aban-
doned their plans. They will be
back with other bills at the next
session of the Legislature.
Any group or o,ganization that
takes away our freedom and
privileges as Americans is cer-
tain in the long run to destroy
us. The larger Government owner-
ship becomes, the smaller we, the
private owners, become. Our
heritage is government by the
people, not government ownership
for the people.
Remember our reasons for oppos-
ing this bill were basically be-
aause it deprived us of home rule,
it deprived property owners of
their land and the ability to
develop it, it removed this land
from the tax roll, thus creating
a greater burden on the remaining
property owners, it would take
away two thirds of our town. If
this can happen to one town, is
it not just as possible to happen
to another town, county, state or
to our Nation?
Remember we can go on winning
battles but without a lot of
support we may eventually lose
the war',
