In
A suit, pending six years, over
alleged damage to oysters in sou-
thern Puget Sound from the Ray-
enter Inc. now non-operative pulp
mill here. got underway in Feder-
al Distrlct Court in Tacoma this
week.
The suit, for $334,175 damages,
was brought by Olympia Oyster
Compauy. Selection of the jury
for tile trial was completed Mon-
day. Judge George H. Boldt is
presiding at tile trial.
The oyster firm claims that
between 3m~e, 1955 and October,
1956, waste effluent from the pulp
mill dumped into Oakland Bay
destroyed oysters in its beds there.
The Rayonier pulp mill here was
closed down in 1957 and all ot
the equipment in it sold this past
sum:net at auction.
IN HIS OPENING statement
Glenn Correa, Shelton; attorney
for tile oyster company, contend-
ed that the defendants did not
follow several state regaflations
in their operation, primarily one
which required reusing or burning
sulpbite waste liquor after it had
been used in cooking wood chips
into pulp.
He contended that the sulphite
waste was carried by the tides
into the oyster beds killing the
oysters.
The first two witnesses called
by Correa were adverse witncsses,
both Rayonier enlph)yees here.
Edward $. McGill. plant super-
intended to be done on streets not
in the arterial street system. The
city several months ago approved
a six-year arterial street program.
The city can use %c gas tax
money from the state in work on
arterial stre~s.
The street program which was
approved Tuesday is that which
will be done largely by city
crews during the next three years
and financed by city funds.
INCLUDED in the program for
1964 is the repair of the concrete
ms'face and providing drainage on
Fourth Street from Cedar Street
100 feet south; regrading, ballast,
shaping and crushed stone surfac-
ing on Laurel Street from N• 13th
Street to K Street, J Street fl~)m
Olympic Highway North to King
Street and G Streel Prom Olym-
pic Highway North to Kink Street
and filling on D Street from Olym-
pic Highway North to Laurel
Street and E Street from King
Street to N. 13th Street.
Scheduled ill the program for
1965 is regrading, ballast, shaping
and crusbed stone surfacing on F
Street from Madison to Jefferson
Streets. Jefferson Street from F
to G Streets, E Street from Ad-
enue from Eighth Street to Ninth

and Pioneer Way from Roosevelt
to McKinley Streets, Roosevelt
Street from Fen•y" to Boundary

cade to Dearborn Avenues and
Tenth Street from Turner to Eu-
clid Avenues.
The Euclid Avenue section ot
the work planned in 1966 is sched-
uled to be hard surfaced under the
arterial street program during
1967.
Estimated cost of the work is
$7,730 for 1964; $3,220 for 1965
and $6,100 for 1967.
Also in the qine of street work,
the conlnaission instructed 13yrne
to go ahead with getting price
quotations fl•OFll contractors ell
equipment rental for widening Pi-
oneer Way and insttdling a storm
sewer system on it.
BYliNE SAIl) thai: hard sur-
facing Of part of Pioneer VVay was
planned under the arterial street
program for 1965, and, that lie-
fore that: was done a drainage sys-
tem would have to be install•t~,d.
The plans call for widening the
street, he said, and, ti would be
easier to widen it to the desired
width when tile storm drains are
iustalled than to do it later and
have to move them.
