Real All-City Enterprise Tt was with satisfaction that The Star printed a letter Frank Waterhouse, the company’s president, ering a number of questions regarding the com- ml unity hotel. Mr. Waterhouse responded frankly to eve: question Phe Star had raised in a recent editorial, questions which been prompted by inquiries made of this newspaper many ‘stockholders, “His statement ought to be satisfactory to nearly every- ody. He assures the public that the Pacific Northwest sroducts will be used in the construction of the building ever possible; that a stockholders’ meeting will be just as soon as the state law permits; that due atten- n is being paid to the selection of a name; that both it d the choice of an architect wait upon the leasing of building so that the lessee may have a voice in these itters; that the stock and bond owners will be kept d of every step in the project. On the one point of whether a Seattle firm of architects outsiders shall be retained is his letter at all disap- Inting. To leave this choice too entirely up to the jes of the lessee does not seem necessary to The Star. ttle has firms entirely capable of conducting such an king, and their intimate knowledge of local needs d community peculiarities would overbalance any ad- e to be gained thru employing some eastern firm had specialized to a greater degree upon hotel con- u but which lacked this understanding. It goes put saying that if a Seattle firm is retained it would i expected to listen attentively to all the ideas the lessee > body else would advance. But at any rate Mr. Waterhouse has done a good job telling the public all about the company’s present is and plans.

Dear Fotks: I must admit I'm pretty keen for keeping lawns alive and green; and when the weather's dry and hot you have to sprinkle quite a ong when they try to sprinkle ME, I get as sore as sore can ‘be. The other night I had to go a half a dozen blocks or #0; and on the lawns along the way the sprinklers all were throwing spray; the way they placed them, quite a few were sprinkling all the side walk, too. They made me stop and walk around to keep from getting nearly @rowned; it made me think, “The nutty guy! Why can’t he keep the sidewalk dry? He doesn't care a darn, it's clear, about the folks who're passing here.” I made the trip with patient care, with many detours here and there. At home, the wire began to shout, “You'd better #et the sprinkler out.” And so I set it on the lawn, and went and turned the water on. To reach the edge, I must admit, I had to wet the walk a bit. I overheard a passing gink remark, “Why scatter all the drink? eee Maewalk ien’t made of grase—and other folks would like to And then I thought, “Tho big stuffed shirt! mH ow! “prea oe po gare Why can't he walk Seinen oie / Mora ving puch a fit?” And so the way the upon who owns the hose, “is oe en eee & contest to be princess of WaleaT some, tut omigosh what « colort sold to her first customer the haif | of ber stock and half an egg over.)
