Judge Rejects Motion In Marijuana Case Judge Charles Wright denied a motion to suppress evidence in the case of Jeffery Heinis, 18, Shelton, charged with possession of marijuana. The ruling came after a hear- ing in Superior Court on a mo- rion by Hetnis' attorney, Gerry Alexander, Olympia. Deputy Sheriff Tom Creekpaum who arrested Heinis the evening of Dec. 13, testified that he had a tip from an informant that three boys in a car answering the des- eription of and having the license number of a car which Heinis was driving, had tried to sell marijuana. Creekpaum said he had stop- ped the car at 7th and Franklin, near Shelton High School, and had placed the three youths in his patrol car, and, searched the vehicle in which they were rid- ing. He found, he said, a match box containing a vegetable sub- stance which he believed to be marijuana. Subsequent tests had proved it to be marijuana, Creek- paum sled. He said the informant who had given him the information had been the somme of reliable infor- mation in the past and he had good reason to believe his infor- marion was correct this rime. Creekpaum said that only Heinis was charged since he was the owner and driver of the .car. Neither of the other two youths had any suspicious .mater- ial on their person, he added, so they were not charged. Alexander told the court he did not believe the officer had rea- sonable grounds to stop the ve- hicle and search it and the oc- cupants  a tip tro an Infr- mant and asked that the evidence in the case be suppressed. Creekpaum did not have a war- rant for the arrest of the youths nor a search warrant for them or the vehicle, Alexander said. Prosecuting Attorney John C. Ragan told the court that the informant who had given the in- formation was the same one who had provided officers with infor- mation which lead to the arrest of George Gomtfeliow, Olympia, on a charge of possession of mari- juana. ellow, Ragan told the court, had pleaded guilty to the charge and had been sen- tenced last mmth. Ragan told the court he believ- ed that Creekpaum's actions were Intlrely within the law, since he did not have time to get a search warrant after receiving the In- formation about the marijuana.

The remain- der is contained in the regular fund request. Some money is available from an appropriation by the last leg- islature for planning and right- of-way purchase. The money requested for the next biennium would start con- struction where the present free- way leaves off in the vicinity of Cole Road and bring it around to connect with the present High- way 101 north of the Shelton City Limits.

Hospital Room R00es Increased The Mason County Hospital District Commission has announc- ed that room rates at Mason Gen- eral Hospital were raised $10 a day, effective Jan. 1. The new rates are $45 for a two-bed room and $49 for a pri- vate room. The commissioners, along with Cal Hopper, administrator of the hospital, discussed the rate in- creased at the Chamber of Com- merce Board of Trustees break- fast meeting Friday morning. The hospital officials said that the first three months the new Mason General Hospital had been in operation, there had been a deficit. There was an average of 31 patients a day during the time, the hospital offlcals said, and that an average of 41 would have been needed to keep the financial operation in the black at the old rates. They explained that the $10 a day increase would take care of replacing the deficit and of sa- lary increases for employees an- ticipated this year. The hospital officials explained that it takes a certain number of people to keep the hospital oper- ating no matter how many pat- ients there are. The room rate increases put Shelton in line with most other hospitals in the state, the hospital officials explained, where under the old rates, they were among the lowest in the state. WILLIAM O.

SLADE GORTON Aid For New Athletic Field Is Suggested I A proposal for a community eff:rt to assist the Shelton School District in developing a start on the new athletic facilities on the site off Spring Road was brought to the school board Tuesday night by members of the Shelton Boost- ers Club. Ernest Timpani and John Stentz, representatives of the club, told the board they believed that through the use of the some $60,- 000 the district has available for development of athletic facilities and through donated labor and other efforts on the part of the club, that a football field could be developed (m the new site in time for the season next school year. The $60,000 which the school district has in its building fund for the athletic facilities comes from the sale of the Lincoln School Property and the old swimming pool fund. The largest single item pro. posed development would be bringing the sewer and water lines from end of the existing main to the school site, estimated at $38,500 by the city engineer. Timpani and Stentz told the board that other cost estimates they had arrived at, which took into consideration donated labor and other items, was $5,000 for clearing and .grubbing 20 acres of the 40-acre site, $10,000 for fill and seeding, $6,000 for a sprink- ler system, $3,500 for lighting and $5,000 for blacktopping a parking area, a total of $67,000. The school board authorized Supt. Iuis Grinnell to negotiate with an architect for planning for the proposed facility so it could be determined what should be done and how it should be done. The school board indicated a willingness to work with the Booster's Club to use the avail- able money to get as much work done as possible on the project. Grinnell told the board that the moveable walls in the Bor- deaux building had arrived and should be installed this week. The board set 10 a.m. Monday for its final Inspection of the building and tentatively set an open house to give the public a chance to look at the facility from 7-9 p.m. Jan. 30 Grinnell said that student would be moved into the building as soon as a few items around the outside are completed. Grinnell reported also that the four-room addition to the Mt. View school was in the planning progress, and, that the hope ts to construct three classrooms and a library.
