Mayor Baker reported one street light _ which had been - approved but which had been overlooked whennew lights were installed will be install ed, also; an additional street light Should: be, `placed on the test.

Zebra Fireworks of Tacoma Hays Fireworks Co. of Olympia Superior Fireworks Co Harlan Grohs of Seattle Great Northern'iovelty Co. of Ibrtland Oregon Mayor Baker read the written re- quests and stated there would be an in- formal Hearing on these requests on April 11, 1960, beginning at 7:00 P.M. APPY SOT-I`RS DAY Page 3 VALLEY 1 NDUSTR IA L COMMISSION By Mayor Charles 0, Baker Our last Article was a review of a • Hearing` before a Legislative Committee. _ .his_ Article...will be a continuation. of the Hearing. .. • - . After. Tukwila had presented their statements the other groups .preseri were given time to present their views. Then came the question period; ' It would. be interesting to relate the many questions directed to our.town but space will not permit. I will. pass on from this phase•of.the.•Hear ing with only this comment- we had made a thorough study of the PortTs.. program and were in a position to an- swer all 'questions directed to us.. • 'Alien the question period was over each_ group was permitted, time texere- buttal. .ib had made many notes during the entire Hearing and tried td.give- 'as complete rebuttal as possible . At last the Hearing was over. It had lasted four hours. To me it seem- ed an eternity. Perhaps the r..ieest compliment 1 received,, for reerecenL- ing .Tukwila, is given in Mrk errs• summary of the meeting. "I feel that Mayor' Baker of Tukwila presented by.' far.the most factual case. All of his statements were from actual. documents' pertaining to the development of the -Duwanish Waterway. None of his state - 'rents were in any qualified nor were they eor_trr.dicted. • • As previously stated all matters discussed in regard to this Hearing are taken from, ars eight page report compiled by ;tan ?Linkler. This report is a very interesting and decisive part of the store. of Tukwilato right for sur••ra.-ral. It will become cne of our most va' :-ab.'_e. documents. During this period of tur:roil we had gained many •o. •s7 . ormidable at' i ee in our fight against the Fort of Seattle. A Citizen's group had brought suit against the tart's ability to levy a two mill tax. There were many others from private ind,;stry who challenged public encroachment. Time passed so quickly it seemed im- possible for us to keep apace of the program of our opposition. Many bills were prepared to be presented to the Legislature, giving Port Districts more power. We appointed a Legislative committee in Tukwila. This committee sent let- ters to every Mayor and Councilman of every City • and Town in the State of Washington. Our appeal was always the same- "It is true that these proposed laws requested by the tort are direct- ed at Tukwila but remember that any legislation that tends to destroy our town will also destroy yours." The 1958 session of the Legislature was watched with great apprehension. (continued to Page3-Co1.2 ) CHURCH TUKWILA, BAPTIST Services are as follows Sunday School.

Every single bill, opposed by Tukwila, had been de- feated. Je shall always be grateful to our sister Cities for their assis- tance. During the remainder of 1958 we con- tinued to move ahead with our affairs.. In 1959 there was electrifying news for Tukwila. The Supreme Court had declared the two mill levy unconstit- utional. TFis was our opporcuw•tye eb had stated many times that the valley should be devoloped by its four munic- ipalities; Tukwila, Renton, Kent and Auburn. fe were now free. It was up to us to proceed.
