TUKWI LA PARK Last summer a group of Tukwila res- idents worked at the park each Bbdu s - day cleaning out the underbrush and clearing the trails. There are many more trails and flower beds throughout the park to be uncovered. A great im- provement was made last year by a few and we Feel confident that with more workers a much greater improvement can be made this year. Pack a picnic lunch, bring your chil- dren and a few garden tools and you will enjoy a day working in the park and visiting with other residents. The improvement you will see at the end of the day will reo']y make your efforts worthwhile. If you cal -lit spend the dal , just come for a few hours; any help mil be appreciated. The work began on Gbdnesd:y, May 11, and will continue each 1'ediiesday throughout the summer when the weather permits.

Baker Immediately after the Supreme Courtts de^..i_ ion , declaring the two mill levy unconeedt,+1r,rai, the newspapers came out witn n. 'i r;7 v] eomy story eb,yi.t the future. for c']2' 1G alley. According to their statement^ t cnt*-two thousand acres of land ware forever lost. Sev- eral thousand jobs that might have been would now never materialize. Once again 'I called on my friend Byron Fish for assistance. His art- icle appeared in the Seattle Times on June 18, 1959. IiJa brought out the facts that no land had been•lost by the Fbrtto defeat. The land was still here, it had- always been and mould Continue to be. I•?o jobs had been lost because of the reversal. I(Eth the shadow of condemnation removed private ind'stry coni d. now procead with their development. Jobs would be created in the Valley nor ae early an 1960 Where- as the kbrtts program would not have advanced this far until 1275. 7nring these ,years their program would haVe been financed with tax payers' dollars. Today the• Valley is being developed by private enterprise with no cost to you, the land is still on the tax rolls A tax base is being created for the advancement of your Town and school district. YAth the Supreme Courtts decision the future of the Valley and its many problems tigers placed once again in our hands. Trohleme also existed that reached beyond our boundries. They could only be solved by working with our neighbor cities. Realizing that the responsibility was now snnaarely upon our shoulders, for our valley and its future, I call- ed a meeting of the Mayors of the four cities and discussed with them the ne- cessity of forming a Valley iidnst-_•ial Commission to cope with .flood control, drainage, chans.el za ;,iott, planning, etc. They were in agreement. Our Wiley Induetr_al Commission has now been in exic,<,:,'cc ro::, enteral months. Dering this per eed. we have made a study- of hiehweys. dna_nege and many other of our cam -ion prof:=.-ene, The organization. ie comm ,e i of six members frori e.a..c'n mrn.icipaalty, ap- eointed by t'_ic- hey yes. numbers are from all walk? of :. some are home o?mers, :;o7 -1e •re feet :.and. owners, others from Railroad C ;npanleo , Fewer Companies, Manu acte:ei ng Innuetetes Industrial Parks, Shopping Centers, thei nes, Banks and others too numerous, to mention.

Their fettree are best assured by a prosper- ous Volley with its retail outlets and diversified industry. They approach all rreblems with intelligence and a sincere spirit of cooperation. Recent- ly -!hey received a complar..nt in an editorial in the Renton Chronicle. The statement was, "This is the first time in the history of the Valley all four Cities have ever agreed on anything". This cane shortly after the Commission had successfully completed a joint Dnai nage Survey. The organization is in its infancy. It will be instrumental in our future development, CAL~NEAR F O.R JUNE _.1960 .1111,Q, Foster - High School 6 Town Council Town Hall Foster High School Fire Dent Neeting Fire Hall Foster Community Hall a Graduation' Ass ciated School Dismissed Com�aunity Club Fbt Luck Tukwila Park 2:30 P. h?. 8:00 P.
