NEW NARROWS BRIDGE ASSURED i
It will be good news to the Olympic peninsula‘
as well as the Navy Yard, Shelton and all points
to thenorth that settlement has been reached
without lawsuit between the insurance compan-
ies and the state, to insure early action on the’
Narrows bridge.
The companies will pay $4,000,000 as their’
part and turn over the piers and salvage to the
state; leaving the way clear for the engineering
department under Burwell antz to proceed
with plans for rebuilding a no and better struc-
ture.
Because of the urgent need for the new
bridge in use to meet the heavy public demand en—
couraged by the brief life of the first bridge, and
now for connection between Fort Lewis and other
camps on the Eastside with the Navy Yard and
the forts on this side, it is action that is needed.
. Engineers are already working on plans for
a four-lane bridge for which the existing piers
seem safe, and for a wider and heavier suspension
span, for which the government and state will
cooperate to speed the project, with prospect of
completion within two years, perhaps under
forced action within a year.
The fact that the first bridge proved a
money-maker while in service gives encourage-
ment for making available the necessary money‘
to carry on, and for the federal agencies to re—
lease the necessary steel and other supplies to:
speed work once the plans are completed and ap-
proved; =all of which is welcome news to Mason
County.
Let us hope there will be nothing worse than
the mimic warfare going on around us to disturb,
the peace and quiet of the Northwest. '
POWER CENTRALIZATION COMING '
Now the cities which have struggled to build
their own public power utilities, and the utility
groups which have taken over the private power
and sponsored Coulee and Bonneville in the ex-
pectation of making a power empire of their own,
are now finding out What was in the program
from the beginning, namely, that the government
intends to control all power out of Washington,
centralization.
“Honest Harold” Ickes, who is now out to
view the parks and power empire in the making,
in the Northwest, has a bill of his own in Con—
gress giving all power unto himself, while Sena-,
tor Bone, the father of public utility, seeks toi
have a three-man commission, but also subject
to Secretary Ickes, although he points out that
Ickes may not live and rule forever. Whatever the:
outcome it may be guessed that local control will]
be short-lived and under the guise of “defense”
every citizen, business and industry is due for
regimentation; which might not be so bad if it
were honestly and intelligently administered.
Judging by the boom in marriages so far
this year there is due a big crop of new babies
around next spring, running strong to boys if
this war hysteria continues.
SHELTON FACES WAR PROBLEM
Shelton faces a problem notmuch less serious
than actual war in getting busy on service to the
army boys who are here in maneuvers and likely
to get a day off occasionally to rest up, with no
place to go or anything for entertainment in
sight. I
At leisure and at times ahead of the chow
wagons the boys on the streets are hungry for
a change, and the few now here soon eat up all.
the candy bars, fruit and extras to be had in locall
stores, and the same is trueof country stores. .
‘ There is a job ahead for Shelton in providing
places for rest, reading and recreation, and plans
are making to open the Legion Hall, the old Post-1
office building and the Lincoln gym to provide
some needed facilities and for clean-up and baths,
and the public is asked to help out with reading,
matter and old furniture. '
I .While we may not know how the war is go-
ing 1t 18 said that the few troops moving around
Shelton are but the vanguard and soon manyl
l
thousandsare likely to be here and they will take
the town in earnest if something is not done to
keep them in good humor. All small towns face‘
the problem of treating the boys wéll who comei
that way.
