Scope and content
Governor Arthur B. Langlie takes the oath of office for the third time, Inauguration Day, 1953. He was the first chief executive in Washington State to be elected three times for four-year terms. Supreme Court Chief Justice Thomas E. Grady administered the oath of office during a joint session of the Senate and House of Representatives held in the House chambers. In Governor Langlie's address to the 33rd Legislature, he encouraged increases in local property taxes to finance schools and other local government functions. His overall plan was to balance the state budget without additional state taxes. He backed toll roads when appropriate and plans for new bridges across the Sound. ALBUM 10. (TNT 1-14-53, p. 1)
