To the Editor of The Sta ft would seem as though the present were a good time to renew the agitation for a separation of King county from the city of Seattie, by the formation of a Seattle county, the boundaries of which would be coincident with those of the city of Seattle. The remainder of the present county could be reorganized into a new King county, with some smaller town, such as Kent, for instance, as the new county seat. | One good reason for this to be found in the present anomalous condition of affairs with respect to police authority in King county,| both the sheriff's office and the city police force having compi: police jurisdiction in the city of Seattle. The present sheriff seems) —————__—__—. hes. to be acting on the theory that he should not butt into purely munici- al police affairs, in conflict with a settied policy of an executive who| is fresh from an election at the hands of the people, and it would seem that the sheriff is exactly right in adopting this course. Most people would regard his use of police authority in the city limits of Beattie as an unwarranted intrusion in civic affairs. But neverthele the dual authority exiats. Other sheriffs may and have looked at it differently. In the past there have been serious Clashes between the forces of the police chief and of the sheriff, and there will be in the future if the remedy of county division be not applied. Chief of the reasons why there should be a division, however, Ie that it should be possible by making Seattic a sepa to save vast amounts of salary expense. The pr: government could be done away with. Many city and county offices Gould be conducted under a single head. The policing of the county @ould be turned over entirely to the city police, and the sheriff's office, with a greatly reduced staff of employes, could devote itself wholly to the matters pertaining to the service of legal papers. The city and county jail could be made one. The city and county tre urers could be made one. The board of county commissioners could be merged with the city council. There would be no need of both a city and a county engineer's office. Seattie’s taxes would be spent in Seattle. At present, while Seattle pays nine-tenths of King county's taxes, there are three commissioners, of whom but one is chosen from Seattle, the others being from the North and South country districts. Seattie is put to heavy expense for the building and main-| tenance of county roads, which would be the part of wisdom if all of the county were tributary to this city, which it Ie not. Much of the southern portion of King county transacts all of its business in the city of Tacoma, which it adjoins. There are probably good arguments both in favor of and against the scheme of county division. Political considerations, or the fact that many political jobs would be abolished in this city if the change were made, will not have much weight with the taxpayers as opposing | factors.
