Baker As we plunged into 1958 we drafted several very comprehensive News releas- es that were given to local papers after each Published attack from the Fort. Cur News released mere invari- ably cut or not printed. ithen they were published, sentences or para- graphs were deleted or given, out of context, thus giving a co 1pletely diff erent meaning to our articles. We then realized that it was impossible to work through the newspapers and give people an opportunity to study and ex- amine both the program of the Fort of Seattle and Tukwila. In one last ef- fort I called an old acquaintance, Byron Fish, and asked for an Article on our situation. :Jithin two days he published a very good Article covering both the Fbrt and Tukwila. It was thorough and to the pointe As time passed he again published a progress report for us. Through his Articles many people became better informed on the fight Tukwila was waging for Home Rule and the right to plan and zone. All of the articles we prepared for publication, but were unable to have published in the newspapers, remain in my files. Undoubtedly you would find many of them interesting, but in order to retain the continuity of these Articles, we must pass them by and go on to the next series of events. In those early days of 1958 some neer problem confronted us almost daily. Some were easily solved, others caus- ed us many sleepless nights. The for - warning of one such problem was pre- sented to me on January 22, 1958 in the following letter from the Legis- lative Council. "Honorable Charles 0. Baker Mayor of Tukwila Tukwila, vhshington Dear Sir: At the quarterly meeting of the Leg- islative Council at Spokane on January 11, 1958, it was brought to the Coun- cil s attention that a number of con- flicts and disputes have arisen in our state in regard to proper area plannirg and development. Amongst these spec - ;fir -r ..... L 1L_J The filings for the City of .Tukwila offices has been completed. For mayor is the incumbent Charles 0. Baker. Filing for the 3 four year terms of Councilmen are the following::hillier' Aliment, Stan Ninkler, A. G. Radford, Eugene Ives. For the 2 yr. unexpired term for Cour. oilmen are Stanley Smith and ••Jrrry Hamilton. Next month each candidate will pres- ent a list of his qualifications for the office. (Con!t from Fg.3 Coll) dustry, Trades, and :rofessions, was authorized to conduct a research ' of this problem, and he directed me to make inquiry of the interested parties to the cited situations, with the ex- pectation that the respective parties will express their interest and views on this subject. We recognize there are private inter- ests involved as well as governmental, and we are most anxious that all 'nay be given an opportunity to present their 'side of the cases. Initially, we are contacting those agencies and firms that have been noted publicly as having a direct interest in this matter and my information disclosed that your opinion would substantially assist us in resolving our immediate issue. We invite your opinions and suggest - tions in regard to this matter and if you .feel that you could more adequate. ly present your views by personal dis- cussion please advise the and I shall arrange to met with you. Sincerely yours, Robert A. Seeber Assistant Attorney". After exploring the reason for this request we found that lir. Frederidt Baker, 1brt of Seattle Pablic Relations Consultant, Had appeared before this group in Spokane and asked their assis- tance in the Tukwila iroblem. My reply to this letter simply stated that under lhshington State Law we were en- titled to Home Rule. This richt should be respected by all Municipal Corpor- ations, including the Fort of Seattle, __1 L_ ...w..
