I\ i/ `i; -bUL- Ik How adequate is our town fire protection? Can 24 men and 1 new fire .truck (plus 1 old one ) cover the whole Town of Tukwila efficiently? The question is not, whether the. Fire Department is doing a good or bad. job. The record of the Tukwila Fire Dept. is excel- lent. The men are well trained in fire fighting as well as first aid. But with the annexation of many new areas into the Town of Tukwila, it is understandable, even the best Dept. cannot cover such a wide area efficiently. Something has to be done before the consequences become too great: YOU aRE .ti L22,B R OF THE CITIZENS ADVISORY COUNCIL2 Every citizen of the Town of Tukwila is a member of the Ad- visory Council.

Tukwila to era- ;bar1: upoia a program of raising the dikea along •tile .riv.er through- out the Valley in order to con- tain the volume of water that will be released from the reser voir behind the Dam. The river - -::channel will require some straightening; sand:bars, trees and other debris must be removed to speed the flow of water. This is a tremendous undertaking and will be very costl•y•but neverthe- lbss necessary if we are to see our Valley land remain.useful for agriculture and industry. During the past few months our Valley Cities have worked with and encouraged the County Comm.. issioners• to create a Drainage District that will include all of King County. This has been ap- proved by the Commissioners and a bond issue (King County Proposit- ion No. 1) has been placed on the ballot to be voted on by all of the people of King County in the November 8, election. The officials of all four cities sincerely request your support and cooperation in working for this proposition. It is the only fair method to combat the yearly floods that oc- cur in all of the rivers through- out King County. Every resident of the County, directly or indUr- ectly, receives many benefits from our rivers and valleys. It i� the Valley land that houses almost all of our industries thus creating jobs for thousands of people, no matter where they live. It is our rivers that supply a major amount of the recreation for the city dweller as well as the valley residents. From these rivers come the very water that is used in the homes of almost everyone. It may be a little difficult for a person living,say in West Seattle, to realize that they do derive benefits from our rivers; that they also suffer financial loss when the floods ravish our Valley. We need the votes of these city dwellers. Un- doubtedly you have friends in Seattle to whom you may be in a position to explain our needs . Will you try?

To raise money for this they will raffle off 'a fJod barrel packed with groceries. The raffle will take place during the Christmas Party which is sponsored by the Firemen and is held at the Fire Hall. Raffle tickets will be on sale soon.

I- L 8 a4Ep OS r PI Ce. ti7 'Tape. ,Tukwila Fire Department is a volunteer organization icaied by- Chief Nick Heinz, Those Len donate their time to learn meth- ods of fire fighting and are on call all hours of the day and night to protect the homes and property of .Tukwila residents. Additional firemen are needed. If you are over 18 and interested contact a fireman for further in- formation. Fires in October: October 4. - small fire at Cent- ral School. October 28. - abandoned house. (cont. from pg. 3 - col. 1) Remember, by working for the passage of Proposition No.l your cost as a Valley property owner will be reduced. you will not be asking others to remove your re- sponsibility but only to share it because they also benefit. Last year the floods in King County caused ,,6,698,000.00 dam- age. This damage has occurred annually for many years. Isn't it about time we start on a pro- gram to prevent this useless cost to property owners and taxpayers? If this proposition passes it will give King County 0,000,000. 0o for flood control and other related problems. The Green River Valley will receive the largest allocation if the bond issue passes. You as a home owner will natur- ally be interested in knowing how much your taxes will be increased by Proposition No.l. When applied on all taxable property it will increase the taxes on a $10,000. 00 home less than 'pl.00 a year Your share will be small, the benefits immeasureable. Help us in our effort to stop the floods. Vote for and ,work for King County Imoposition No. 1.
