Streck- enbach feels like Mitchell that tile county should try to develop this potential source of revenue. Streckenbach was very much concerned about the future of lo- cal government if some new sources of valuation are not found to help support governmental ex- penses. While both the county and city have been faced with higher operaling costs, their revenues have been going down instead ot up. This has caused both the city and county to cut budgets in or- der to keep out of the red next year. "With higher costs, more de- mands for services provided by government, we are going to be in a tight squeeze for some time unless new valuation is found t:o absorb these coats," Streckenbach added. WITH THE LUMBER business depending to a large extent on factors which cannot be control- led locally, it would seem that the best hope for Mason county lies in the development, of tourism to add to its income. The Simpson company payroll means a great deal to Mason county but there is no evidence at the present time that they in- tend to add to it. There is always the possibility that a new Simp- son product like Forestone could hell) the general picture and the insulating board plant has ideas along this line but new products often times fall flat even with the most exhaustive studies and labor- atory tests. What the federal congress will do in regard to interest rates on building it still a question and tile people of Mason county have lit- tle influence in that area. TIIE NEW TATE park at Lake Cushman and tile continued de- velopment of waterfront property are healthy signs in regard to at- tracting tourists to the county. No one can tell at this time bow national and even the internation- al picture could change and ef- fect the cmmty tremendously. However at the present time it looks like the promotion of the connty's recreational facilities is the best bet. New Year's Eve Dance The public is invited to attend the potluck dinner and dance spon- sored by the Agate Grange this evening in the Grange hall.
