Phinney Bay sewering petition will be prepared within a week. There is lots of enthusi- asm for it. It can't go according to Comprehensive Plan and we will have to determine a method of sewering this area that will suffice until we get main system in throngh Rocky Pt. and ~rine Drive.

Washington Ave. project, scheduled to begin January 11, held up by weather conditions, although contractor is moving in equipment and has obtained an old house on Washington for an office.

Cited highlights of the Police report for the year 1970, which had been circulated to the Commissioners, and commented that it was a good report for all concerned and he wanted to compliment the men in the field who are doing the work; also that it indicated a relation- ship between traffic regulation enforcement and the number of traffic accidents. Regarding the change of policy concerning games and devices to stimulate business, con~nented that, as a result of activities and rulings of the Attorney General's office, it is now the policy of the City of Bremerton that no more such games and devices--of a gambling nature--will be allotted in the City. Mr. Eddie Adams:- Inquired whether there had been any development regarding the problem of the transit subsidy tax on the Navy houses in Jackson Park, and Commissioner Clark advised there was no conclusion made yet but that it was in the hands of the Attorney. Raised the question as to status of the "Dog Leash" petition, and was advised by Mayor Jarstad and Commissioner Clark that there were many complications but that the City could not change it; could either pass it or fail to pass it within 30 days--in which case (if no action taken) it would have to be put to a referendum. We are awaiting advice from the City Attorney. Mr. Adams stated that his principal thought was that we have enough unenforceable laws now--and let's not have another.
