Court Opens Canal Gates and Lowers Lake Washington Level
A superior court injunction halted further work on the Washington canal last week until a fuller hearing. The Lake Canal association obtained an order effective until January. The court may allow gates to open to lower Lake Washington to the mean summer level. Thomas A. Meade represents east shore property owners and did not oppose this part. The Oregon & Washington railroad, via P C Sullivan, opposed the modification. A further application to permit excavating work remains under advisement.
