It also keeps lawns green the year 'round which gives the householder plenty of exercise with the old lawnmower. Golf courses are open the year 'round. Snow storms of any duration are indeed scarce. This climate has helped to make this district probably the most important pro­ ducer of poultry products in the country. Thousands of cases of eggs are shipped from Tacoma and vicinity to eastern markets and to foreign countries. The products are marketed by several large distributors, among which is The Wash­ inO"ton Co-operative Egg and Poultry P~oducers Association.

Page Eighteen A New Warehouse and Freight Office is now under construction, just east of Current News of the Railroad Seventh Street, in the same block with the Passenger Depot, which has been moved East to Sixth Street. The new building will be 50 feet in width by approximately 225 feet in length. The westerly 43 feet of the building will be used for a Freight Office and will have a basement for the location of the heat­ ing plant, record room, etc. The balance of the building will be used for Freight House and Vvarehouse purposes and will have a concrete floor. A new track will serve the south side of the warehouse and the north and east sides are equipped with doors serving trucks. A new track will be laid along the south side of the new building and will extend across Sev­ enth Street, along with the extension to what is called the "Stone Track" across Seventh Street. West of Seventh Street, these tracks will serve the relocated unloading plat­ form and also will provide a large space for team track. It is planned to complete this work about September 10.
