CAN-CAN GIRLS GREET
RETURNING G I's IN SEATTLE
SEATTLE (AP) — The can
can girls are back in the line
again for the boys just out of
the line—and how the GI Joes
love it.
The fancy-kicking can-can
dancers, their skirts swirling to
'give a peek-a-boo glimpse of
shapely legs, made their return
appearance at dockside yester
day as a transport brought 1.553
soldiers home from Korea.
There were wolf whistles,
cheers and split-face grins as
the combat veterans lined the
rails of the Pvt. Joe Martinez.
The dancers had welcomed
two of Seattle’s nearly two doz
en rotation troopships, but their
routine was dropped after let
ters of protest were received
by the semi-official civic group,
Greater Seattle, Inc.
Back they came yesterday in
answer to what an official of the
group said was “popular de
mand.”

rived at the physical valuation
of the property. The report was
in two parts, one giving the ac
tual value of the existing lines
in view of rehablitation costs
to the present owners, the other
detailed costs of duplicating the
facility by the city.
Mr. Petrovich stated that the
company could not possibly en
ter into the expensive rehabili
tation plan under the existing
rates. “You cannot get blood
from a turnip” lie said, “and
the system does not bring in
enough revenue und; r existing
rates to permit extensive re
pairs and extensions.”
Petrovich stated that the o
pening of new streets, and the
increase in home building, which
make extension of water lines
mandatory, is putting more of a
strain on company finances than
piesent r venues will stand. He
stated that the company is en
titled to a reasonable return
on capital investment, which is
not possible under the present
setup.
The offer to sell, and the
flat terms of the sale took the
council by surprise. The city
attorn v was instructed to in
vestigate all water rights and
easements and to prepare a con
tract of sale in the event that
Seward taxpayers accept the
offer.
