A century-old Spokane County mystery rests in clothbound, table-sized books
at the state archives in Cheney. Auditor Vicky Dalton discovered a gap in
planning documents – about 150 in total – while digitizing old county
records a few years ago in partnership with archivists at the Washington
State Archives branch on the Eastern Washington University campus. From
September 1915 to July 1916, there are no county records for new
developments, despite real estate agents at the time reporting housing and
building booms in the pages of the Spokane Chronicle and Spokesman-Review.

"The problems of our economy have occurred not as an outgrowth of
laissez-faire, unbridled competition.
They have occurred under the guidance of federal agencies, and under the
umbrella of federal regulations."
Senator Ted Kennedy, in defending trucking deregulation in 1978.
