Jim Jones, Sportsman's Club representative, wish and desire the bridge to be left there. I Commissioner Walt Kelly felt this bridge should be torn down and replacement be made elsewhere far fishing facilities. Commissioner Huntingford explained the bridge had been condemed several yeara ago _ any use since thon has been at own risk. Mr. Davis asked how much destruction of bridge would cost. Mr. Art Crews, Supervisor of Game Department, expressed desire for Bridge to be left and said State Game Department would buy property to put sanitary facilities. Bill Bates, Quilcene, said he was one of wheel chair patients who did part of his recouperating from stroke fishing on bridge. I Mrs. Ernie Lashua said she is from New York and bridges are used for fishing as well as travel. Mr. Law felt it was just the thing for old people to fish from. . New road is dangerous - curve too sharp - with ice, the trip downhill is near im- possible with improper banking and stumps on one side and steep drops on other. Mr. Crews said the Game Department would negotiate for land for sanitary facilities. I Mr. Lester West spote in regard to the new road and unsafe passage for school bus. He asked if he could build a ramp to open bridge for use of his six (6) chrildren. Mr. Munn brought in a sample of the bridge decking - Exhibit A-l; Exhibit A-2 _ decking; ~~hibit A-3 - decking; Exhibit A-4 - stringer (all wood conky); Exhibit A-S stringer; Exhibit A-6 another stringer; A-7 stringer; Exhibit A-8 - cap; Exhibit A-9 - piling; Exhibit A-IO - retainer sell (bulkhead). Mr. Munn asked that these exhibits be kept in the County A~chives (Auditor's vault) as long as statutes of limitations allow. Mr. Munn feels the Game Department should arrange to enlarge their own facilities and allow the rest of the lake (private owners) to en- joy their privacy. The end cut off does help the local residents as less garbage and debris to pick up. Mrs. Marjorie Venning asked that bridge be taken down, they plan to build 20' below bridge level - would hate to have no privacy on their deck. Mrs. Munn said fisherman haven't endeared thenselves to them by their discourteous manners Mrs. Munn feels it:is time for a decent cremation and restore the beauty of the land. .

Mr. Davis quoted Engineer stating bridge might last for ten tlO) years with foot traffic only. He feels it might last twenty (20) years. Mr. West felt the new road has depreciated the tax rolls instead of imoroving the tax rolls. I Mr. Crews said there is an interagency fund available that may come forth with finan- cial help to put in new facili tic:!s but it would take time. Mr. Daviswishes to r,ommen~ the Game Department for their efforts. The sportsmen app- reciate thoir effort. But said they weren't going to be pushed. They resented being treated like children.
