Daulton Confronts Council Over Water Main Debate
Daulton, seventh ward Democrat and water rate reform advocate, faced sharp rebuke at the council meeting as Chair Rude moved to adjourn before his questions were answered.

The article also covers Labor Day festivities and transportation plans, including a 15 cent extra gate charge for the Labor temple fund and anticipated special trains for visitors from Tacoma and Everett.
