To. make-the-leasing especially attrac- overhauling the boats, building new docks A roar of protest went up against the one-sided lease, but in cases where it i8 sirable, the county commissioners work fast, and the whole thing was put over and in operation before the public really realized what was happening. Anderson's profits, for the first year of operation, were approximately $23,000. And these were the same ferries that, under his contro] when operated as a the head of is high time county utility, had gone so heavily in the lessee of the red. Now Capt. Anderson finds that busi- ness has lagged somewhat. The fuel oil back to the trol of the Kitsap County Transportation Co., a Sound ferry line which is making handsome profit, and the lake trade doesn’t interest him so much, Not so good to be bound by a contract to run where the profit is not so large. What could be easier then, than to abandon the lease? As drawn, Anderson can do this; the county cannot. So he naively announces that he never expected to operate the ferries more than two years, anyhow, and he thinks this is a good time to quit. The Star doesn’t believe King county people are in favor of granting any more all the in the red. of dollars in docks, laying subsidies to the many that Anderson and drawing already has obtained. It believes that he should either give service with the present ferries, or quit. And if he does quit, The Star is con- fident that there are other capable men who can and would take over the Lake Washington ferries as they are, and ‘MRS, SHEPHERD |S: HIDING made to allow her bail, Attorney Robert Stoll announced today Mrs. Shepherd is in Chicago, chee in hiding and will stay there unt ball is arranged, Stoll told police wt ficials.
