E. Chambers On the eastern shores of Lake Washingtpn, lying southwest of Hunt's Moint, ts a shallow inlet of water known as Fairweather bay. Im | mediately south of this bay is a large tract of land belonging to the Claude | Rameay family, whieh land extends to the Medina community This land is bounded on the east by & paved road, on the south by a paved road, on the west for a major portion of the distance by a paved road, on the north by 4 graveled road and is interseoted by another gravel road, All these roads were paved or | graveled during the Ramsay term as county comminsioner. ‘The original plan for the buflding of the main highway, which now runs east of the property, called for building tt In a direct Hine between Kirkland and Bellevue, but this plan was discarded and the reason given that the cost of grading would make the route by the Ramaay property cheaper On the old route, there was only one grade, It waa an easy hill to cut nm, and its com would have been | loa# than the laying of a long stretch | of tile deemed necessary to grade the |low lands tying adjacent to the Mun | say property before the road could be | placed in tts present location. | Incidentally, it may be mentioned | that this tile rans thru the Ramsay property for hundreds of yards and is of great value tn removing the | water from the Rameay lowlands | that were in much need of drainage. The new route of this road increased the distance at least | one mile and the cost to the | county was the expense of ap- | proximately one mile of paving plus this dle drain, which is in ies who would eceupy this new building, but at last report there have been no takers, No one wants it A little leas than two and one half rafies south of Medina t» the beautiful Bellevue community, It has outstripped Medina in growth, having numerous stores, fine schools, churehea, and @ modern community club, together with many bundred of King county's best citizens, The ferry Leschi formerly served both Bellevue and Medina, making & triangular run. Here is & combinauon of facts that none can gainsay, Hellevue was attracting potential Medina residents, If Bellevue had no ferry and Medina had a ferry then the tables would be turned and Medina would be more attractive to future nettlers than Bellevue. More people coming to Sftedina would make a better market for one so fortunate as to have land for sale in that community. Now note these ¢wo singular colncidences: Commissioner Ram say has land in large quanti ties for sale in the Medina neighborhood; the ferry Levchl has been recently taken off the Bellevue run entirely and gives exclusive service to Medina. All this may bave been mere oo ineidence, The general program of development of rural sections may have been carried out without thought of the fact that Commis. sioner Rammay was benefited by it to such @ considerable extent. I am convinced that I do not over estimate it when I say that the im | provemen® made at the expense of | King county have Increased the value | lof the Ramsay property at least | $100 an acre, One of Seattle's best one of the largest King The value of a dock at each end | administration. | known real estate men confirms this | estimate, ‘The Ramaay holdings are approxt- . According to a» conmisiloner have benefited the Ramaay family to the tune of ap proximately $250,000! In 1912 the people of King county voted to build and operate the ferry Lenchi on the Bellevue-Medina and Leechi park run under the manage ment of the port commission. Belle vue people initiated the proposition, financed the campaign, and gave it unqualified support. A majority of Medina voters opposed the propos! ton. It wi be remembered that during the campaign jt was mentioned al most exclusively as the Bellevue | card or ferry proposition, Medina was lost in the shuffie, After all these years of operation, during which people have moved to | Bellevue, bought homes, and have made a happy and prosperous com. muoity, striking @ blow that paralyzes the entire section, They discontinued Bellevue ferry service. The Bellevie people took the mat- ter to court and it was ruled that the county must provide ferry nery- foe to Bellevue. The case was ap pealed and now awalts final decis fon. The county commissioners claim that while they took over the port ferries they did not take over their obligation to Bellevue, Petty hair spitting! The extra cost of the Bellevue run hae been estimated by Super. intendent Anderson as being the we find the comminstoners | price of 10 barrels of fuel ofl. This would now amount to around $18.50 a day, ‘The receipts from the small boat that ts being operated while final decision of the courts ts being awaited shows receipts running around $35 a day Here is another demonstration of the non-use of ordinary busi- ness intelligence, No private concern would for a moment think of leaving soch an open- County Commissioners Show Favoritism to’ Medina; Why Is it, Mr. Ramsay?) ments made during Ramsay's term ing for a competing line, even if the inunediate profit of tho business was not suffident im ducement. The residents of Medina are in no wise a party to the deal to rob Bellevue of their ferry service, They are a unit in their support of the ue elatm. While the commissioners may be right in their stand that there are no legal grounds against their de serting Bellevue, yet no man can deny the existence of moral grounds. When public officials have no re their moral obligations then God have mercy on the people! During the lest campaign both Ramaay and Dobson unequivocally | pledged the Bellevue people that, if | Ml they were re-elected, the ferry serv- tee would be maintained. ie While on the subject of docks and other things, let us jump across | if the lake and look at the new dock | iM at Leschi park. Last winter thin dock was replanked at heavy ex | if pense and in a few months it was |i all torn up and rebuilt. If it was to be rebuilt, it should not have been replanked and, if replanked, it | ay should not bave been rebuilt as| Mt long as in good condition.
