Tide Lands Extension Probed by Thurston County Board
About thirty citizens attended a Thurston county tide land commission meeting in the Chilberg building. Capt. McMicken succeeded H W Andrews as chair and sworn in, with opinions urged on platting the tide lands to conform to the city plat. Opinions favored extending streets 60 feet wide over tide lands and 250 feet apart for east west streets, with some proposing larger blocks to reduce streets. The board planned a field tour of the waterfront and the local appraisers will begin valuing tide lands tomorrow, with methods to be determined.
