It appears that the. City owns three forty acre tracts, and Fox and Burrows are logging two adjacent forties. In order to log a portion of their timber and City owned timber, it is necessary to move logging equipment and establish property lines at considerable expense. It was the opinion of Mr. Taylor that if the City can save their timber by purchasing for a nominal amount, the small portion of timber mvned by Fox and Burrough, . the City should arrange to do so. Commissioner Taylor recommended that the purchase be considered and !!r. Taylor and Supt. Dodge will meet with the loggers for said consideration. Corrimissioner Taylor also discussed proposed re~financing of Elwha River Water Bonds, and abreement with Bonding Companies for the same. Mr. Taylor explained how the water system can be financed .for improvements by Te-financiog bonds and using contemplated water revenue. Attorney Trumbull summarized what the City would accomplish by re-financinc as follows: the difference of interest charged and making available $72,000.00 surplus for development purposes. The Commission then entered into bond re-financing agreement and affixed Signatures to the same. Port Angeles, Washington June 1, 1950 Blyth & CD., Inc.
