More Arrests, Less Fines
1,1962 Police Report Shows
There were more arrests, but
less collected in fines in 1962 than
in 1961 the annual report of abel-
ton Police Chief Paul Hinton to
the city commtsion shows.
City police made a total 386 ar-
rests during the year with 350
cases filed in police court. In 1961,
the comparable fignres were 361
arrests mid 337 cases filed.
The city collected a total of
$7.986.50 in fines and bail forfeit-
urea in 1962 compared to $8,938.50.
These figures do not,include bail
posted and later returned.
One indication of what may have
Postal Rate
Increase Brings
Sale Rush
It looked like "Christmas rlmh"
time in the Shelton Post Office
Monday and Tuesday as Shelton
residents stocked up on the five-
cent stamps now necessary for
first class letters and got one-cent
stamps to add to the four cent
ones they had on hand.
Postmaster Jack Gray said more
stamps were sold Monday, the day
the new postal went into effect,
than any day during tile Christ-
mas rush. There were $948.50
worth of stamps sold.
The demand for one-cent stamps
was larger than expected, Gray
said, and the Post Office was old
out by noon Monday. During the
afternoon all of the one-half cenl
stamps on hand were sold and pos-
tal clerks ended out the day run-
n]ng off one-cent meter stickers
for those who needed them to go
with four-cent stamps.
Gray said he had about 9,500
one cent stamps on hand Monday
morning.
Tuesday lie received 27,000 one-
cent stamps front Portland.
Tuesday 16,600 one-cent stamps
wene sold, Gray said and total
stamp sales that day were $780.
Gray said that the Post Office
does not have any stamped en-
velopes with the new five-cent
postage rate on them.
The 60,000 envelopes he ordered
from the overnment Printing
Office in Washington b. C. about
Dec. 1 have no arrived.
The Shelton Post Office was not
alone in its plight Monday, Gray
said, as the Post Offices in Olym-
pia, CentraHa and Clehalis as well
as the small Post Offices in Ma-
son County were also out of one-
cent stamps Monday.
influenced the drop in fines at
the same time the number of ar-
rests went up is the number of
meals served to prisoners which
jumped from 776 in 1961 to 1,176
in 1962. This indicates more pris-
oners were serving their sentences
in jail and less paying their fines.
ONE NOTICEABLE DECLINE
was in the number of arrests and
the amount of fines driving while
intoxicated violations. In 1961
there were 30 arrests for driving
while intoxicated and $4.117.50 col-
lected in fines for this offense
compared to 17 arrests and $1,-
862.50 in fines in 1962.
The income from parking meter
violations and parking warrants
fell also. from $787 in 1961 to $610
in 1962.
The number of arrests for being
drunk in public increased from 60
in 1961 to 96 in 1962 with amount
of fines paid for this offense $854
in 1961 and'S1,130.50 in 1962.
ARRESTS 1O1{ reckless driv-
ing, negligent driving, speeding
and faihn'e to make an arterial
top, vioiatiou of the operators li-
cense and vehicle laws. liquor law
violations, arrests for drunk, dis-
ordezly conduct and assaults and
for miscellaneous traffic violations
remained about the same for 1962
as fer 19961.
The number of burglaries was
23 in 1962 and 24 in 1961. Eight
car thefts were reported each
year. The mnnber of petit larcen-
ies in 1961 was 123 compared to
116 in 1962, The city police de-
partment handled 116 juveniles in
1962 compared to98 in 196i.
City Traffic
The nu • ' l .... ic accidents
in the City of Shelton took a big
jump during 1962, the annual re-
port of Police Chief Paul Hinton
to the city commission shows.
Almost all of the increase oc-
curred on Highway 101 in the
citv.
£here were 188 accidents in
which there was damage of $25 or

Simpson Plans
Shipment By
Foreign Ship
SEATTLE -- Shipment of 500,-
000 bd. ft. of fir and hemlock lum-
ber from the Port of Olympia to
San Juan. Puerto Rico. is .schedul-
ed for late February, i.he Simpson
Timber Compahy announced here
today.
Simpson was among four North-
west lumber firms granted foreign
vessel shipping rights by the U.S.
Department of Commerce last Fri-
day Georgia-Pacific of Portland
earlier had announced plans to
send 1,500.000 bd. ft. of lumber to
Puerto Rico this month.
Gas .Hubbard. Simpson traffic
manager, said "first refusal" noti-
fication was wired today which
gives two U.S. maritime associa-
tions and four U.S. shipping lines
five business days in which to meet
a rate of $40 per thousand bd ft.
negotiated with a Norwegian ear-
go vessel.
Hubbard said this rate is about
$17 per thousand bd. ft. below cur-
rent U.S. shipping quotations, but
still higher than British Colum-
bians are paying to ship their
lumber to Puerto Rico.
Simpsou's initial shipment un-
der the amended Jones Act provi-
sions relating to intereoastai ship-
ping climaxes more than two
.),cars of costly efforts by North-
west lmnber mills to convince
Congress and the administration
that U.S. restrictions have en-
abled Canadian producers to dom-
inate many U.S. lumber markets.
The Puerto Rican market an-
nually buys 100,000,000 bd. ft. of
lumber. The past severn . years,
British Columbia supplied ?5 per-
,o,, of this lumber and Southern
mills about 25 percent. Pacific
,orthwest mills have been com-
pletely shut out by shipping costs.
Two Captured
Alter High
Speed Chase
Two Ft. Lewis soldiers are out
on $500 bail each from the Mason
County jail on charges resulting
from a fight and a high-speed
chase early Sunday morning.
John R. Spencer, 20, Columbus,
O.. is charged with carL%,ing a con-
cealed weapon, disorderly con-
duct, aiding' and abetting failure
to yield to a red ligtlt and siren
and aiding and abetting reckless
driving. Frank R. Walker, 19,
Price, Utah, is charged with reck-
less driving, failure to yield to a
red light and siren and aiding and
abetting carrying a concealed
weapon.
%VALKER WAS THE driver and
Spencer a passenger in a ear
which eluded city, county and
State Highway Patrol cars in a
chase at speeds which at times
reached more than 100 miles an
hour to Quilcene and back to Pot-
latch. '
The pail. were arrested by High-
way Patrolman Start Sushak at
Potlatch at about 2:45 a.m. Sun-
day after the chase had lasted
more than an honr and a half,
The chase started when city
police answered a call that there
was a fight at Dorans Service
Station and found Spencer snuffs
ing with Dick Roberts, Shelton.
Spencer jumped into the car
driven by Walker and the pair
took off. They eluded road blocks,
narrowly missing a Mason County
Sheriff's car which set up a road
block at Hoodsport.
THEY WENT /S FAR. as Quil-
cene and then turned around and
were headed back toward Shel-
ton when they were halted by Pa-
trolman Sushal.
A loaded pistol was found in
Spencer's pocket.

THE MIqlJlAx LENGTll of stay

Statistics in tile report show
that there has been a. consistent
decline in the average age of pro'-

cilities, which "indicates a need to
expand the programs designed pri-
marily fez the younger offenders."
The average daily cost for main-

The report emphasizes the in.

solve the emotional and personal-

programs would require additional
psychological and social services,
the report states.
"Considerable progress has been
made in the treatment of adult of.-
fenders in Washington." the report
concludes, "but rehabilitation ef-
forts will be further jeopardized

Dr, He\\;ms added, however, that
the DiviSion of Adult Correction

rectional institutions i will col]-
tinue to be unable to provide ade-

City Seeks Federal Aid To Make
Improvements in Its Sewer System
The Shelton City Commission
Wednesday sent to the Housing
and Home Finance Agency Reg-
ional Office in Seattle an appli-
cation for $52,500 in federal aid
for a sewer project in the city.
The application was made un-
der the county's recent designa-
ti0n as a depressed-area because
of the rate of unemployment,
The city will add some $65.500
to the federal funds if they are
approved for work which will eli-
minate the Imhoff tank which now
empties into Hamersley Inlet and
repair part of the city sewer sys-
tem to cut down the overloading
of the city sewer plant from seep-
age.
The application to the HHFA,
a division of the Community Fa-
cilities Administration. was ac-
companied by several letters sup-
porting the need for the project.
THE APPLICATION will go
from the HHFA Regional Office
in Seattle to Washington. D.C.,
for final approval.
erie part of the project calls for
a new eight-inch sewer line from
the line which now mum into the
Imhoff tank running along the
Northern Pacific Railway right-
of-way to .connect with the city
sewer system near Rayonier. The
estimated cost of this section of
the project, submitted with the
application for federal aid, is
$51,000.
A second section of the project
calls for replaclng about 6,700 feet
of old sewer line in the lower, part
of the city. This sewer is in need
of replacement.
It is causing a problem in that
ground water seepage is entering
the line and overloading the sew-
age treatment plant.
THE CITY HAS been asked by
the State Health Department to
correct both conditions, the Im-
hoff tank and the overloading of
the sewage treatment plant, so
that only properly treated sew-
age is dumped into Hammersly
Inlet and Oakland Bay.
The city sewage treatment plant
is plenty large enough to handle
the sewage, but, runs into trouble
when' wet Weat}ler dumps a large
amount of ground water into the
lines ,b.C/us of their detewiorated
condition.
The city's share of the funds for
the project would come from $54,-
500 in revenue bonds to be issued
and paid off out of sewer reven-
ues and $11,000 budgeted for sew-
er work in the 1963 budget.

State R pres¢ tative
Savage, She ton, • rill take :
in the slat leg .lature
conveens at noon Monday.
State Representative Charles I each County a House member.
Savage, Shelton, will take his seat] This is about the only way that
in the state legislature when i we carl continue to have three
members from the 24th District
Tile Journal asked Rep. Savage
his thoughts on things of import-
ance to Mason County which
would be coming up in the legis-
lative session.
These are his connnents:
CORRECTION CENTER: One
of the most important issues for
Mason ounty; coming up in this
session of the legislature, will be
appropriation for phase two of the
Correction Center.
I will work to have these funds
appropriated from capitol land
grant funds because I share Dr.
Heyns' apprehension of the delay
that might be entailed if bouds
had to go to a vote of the people
pursuant to the recent Supreme
Court decision on bonds. Unless
Phase two is built. Dr. Hes told
me this week. we would have no
istitution and moYe than $7,000,-
000 is needed to build it. Dr.
Heyns informs-me that in addi-
tion to this capital outlay, The De-
partment of Institutions for the
state will need at least $87,500,-
000.00 for operation and mainten-
ance.
MONEY FOR SCHOOLS is go-
ing to be a touoh problem. Ma-
son County schools alone arc ask-
ing for nearly $3.000.000 in state
aid for the next two-year period.
The 24th District is requesting
about $10,000,000.00 for the bi-
ennimn. There will be great eon-
trovercy over the request for near-
ly $500 million of slate aid for
eonnnon schools in addition to ap-
propriations for schools of higher
learning.
REDISTRICTING: I expect to
support the Grange proposal to
amend the coneLituLion to allow
mid rural strength throughout the
state.
HUNTING & FISHING LIC-
ENSE FEES: The gam'e CommL -
sion :ill recommend that the Leg-
islature increase some of the fees
for hunting and. fishing licenss
or tags. I am reclined at fixst
thought to say ":No", but I will
have to study their proposals and
what kind of a program the com-
mission intends to develop before
definitely making up my mlnd. All
these fees go back into develop-
ing game and game fish.
TIMBER TAX: Another thing
