"Tukwila has, during the past few months, become the center of a great deal of interest. Some of this interest, unfortunately, has arisen through erroneous rmmors and misunderstanding. The people or Tukwila have always been happy when a neighbor community takes a step forward, and we know in our hearts that they likewise wish us well. We have always in the past and we do once again today, extend our open hand in friendship. We feel that anything which helps any single community in turn helps all communities. Our Comprehensive Plan, and it, along with a proper zoning ordinance, has been adopted by the Town Council. Our industrial zones allow for the building of industrial installations such as the Boeing Development Center, the Container Corporation, and many, many other kinds of large factories. Numerous other Washington towns and cities have done exact- ly the same thing without arousing any feelings from near and dist- ant communities. The Port of Seattle has a plan for their proposed development of a Duwamish waterway to extend as far south as 180th Street So. A portion of the Tukwila Comprehensive plan overlaps into areas which may be developed by the Port. It has always been the desire of Tukwila to cooperate fully with all interested agencies, including not only the Port of Seattle but the U. S. Army Engineers and any other branches of government as well. Tukwila has done nothing to stop or hinder in any way the Port of Seattle's powers of condemnation. We know that we are in perfect. harmony with the Port because of a statement made last Nov- ember llth by Port Commissionery E. H. Savage to the effect that he thinks the proposed private industrial development is "a good thing." Meeting recessed at 10:45 to meeton Tuesday, Lianuary 7th at 7 p.m.
