The county also wanted this bill passed because it would mean about $15,000 in extra revenue =dnce Mason county has about 122,000 acJ of this land. Those in opposition .to this bill were the Simpson Logging Com- pany, the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company and the Northern Pacific Railroad. OMAR COLEMAN, a represent- ative of the SimpsOn company in !Seattle, told the committee that the long range thinking of the company in terms of capital in- vestment was based on the acquis- Ition of classified lands and he said that it would not be in the best interest of the general econ- omy to pa the bill beCause it woful d ' discourage investment which means.so much to the areas where these lands are situated. Charles Cowan, representing the Washington Forest Protection As- sociation, esid that the counties were playing beth ends of the game When they try to pass this bill since a 12% yield tax is as- sessed against the owner of the lands when the timber is cut. He felt that if the valuation is in- creased the' yield tax should be reduced. DiCK WATTS felt that the val- uation on this land had not been increased since the bill was passed in 1931 and that an, increase in valuation was in order due to the change in general economic con- • tidns since that date. • Both Simpson and Weyerhaeuser admitted that the bill would not mean a large expense to them if it was passed although they favored the present valuation. It is esti- mated that if the bill was passed it would mean an increase of $40,000 throughout the state on taxes paid. Simpson owns about 200,000 acres of classified lands' County Hopes To Buy Shelton Navy Annex The Mason County Board of Commissioners made a motion Monday afternoon to try to ac- quire ownership of the Shelton annex of the navy shipyard at John's Prairie if the federal gov- ernment declares it surplus prop- erty. THE LAND m question com- prises about 470 acres and has a railroad siding as well. Accord- ing to law, the government can place the land under the surplus property act and make it available to local governmental bodies. The commission feels that this wonld make an ideal industrial site be- cause of the railroad sidin and will attempt to secure it if it is declared surplus. ! Nick Hein appeared before the commission giving a report on the heating system at the courthouse. Hein told the commissioner that the present heating system is not properly distributing the heat be- cause of leaky valves and stems and also because there is not enough steam presmre to move the heat throughout the building, Hein said that the heating sys- tem was designed for 10 to 15 pounds of pre.ure but the county has been using only about 2 pounds. He told the commission that the control on the boiler was not working right and that he had notified the Minneapolis-Honey- well company on this matter. THE COMMISSION decided to go ahead with plans to have the heating system completely checked and to make the neccqsary repairs in order to provide the building with proper heating. At the pres- ent time it is extremely hot in cer- tain parts oI the building while cold in other parts. COUNTY TREASURER John Cole reported to the commission that the county is $17,000 in the Mack and will not have to issue any interest bearing warrants in order to meet expenses.

City Sewer Repairs b Start Immediately The City of Shelton will begin work on major sewer repairs as soon as the weather clears and hopes to finish one major job and several minor jobs in 1959.

Thin job will cost about $10,000 and bids will be accepted for this work in the. ne%r future. Many of the smaller jobs can be done by the city and present plans call for all those jobs to be done with city equip- ment and manpower. The city, however, does not have the neces- sary equipment for most of the big jobs and has to have others do the work. The city will operate on a pay as you' go basis on sew- el" work. The City Commission Tuesday announced the appointments of a new recreation Ioard consisting of Gus Hubbard, George Dos.k, Carl Downing, Bernie Bailey and Mrs. Allan LaBisaoniere. Hubbard was appointed temporary chairman. A SECOND reading of ordinance 654 was made which provides for the increase in sewer rates from $1.25 to $2.50 a month. Chief T. D. Deer reported to the commission on the meeting held last Friday night in the PUD audi- torium for the establishment of a city building code. Mayor Moore said, "I believe that the city I should not take a stand on this ' matter one way or another until we have a chsnce to study the comprehensive plan." The city agreed to rent a $L950 loader for a month in order to see if they wanted to buy it at a later  date. The commission gave permission for the dirt-obbers club to do landscape work at the log monu- ment on the top of the hill over- looking the city. inarlan, reported that the poss'- ibility of removing the paint would remove the natural oils from the feathers and could be absorbed by the skin and could be fatal to the bird. With hopes that the bird will moult his feathers (if he will eat) it was taken to a sheltered beach, where he could swim and fend for himself, rather than killing him. (Jonrnal photo.) Ritner Offers New House Bill Representative Roy Ritncr has introduced house bill 451 which deals with the purchasing of li- quor. This proposed law would require a card ,)f identification stating the correct age of the person who wishes h) make a liquor purchase am well as his signature and pho- t.gra ph. The pmqose of this proposed law is to regulate and prevent the con:;uming of liquor by those who are nnder the legal age. Several other states have law, requiring similar identification. Rilner recently look over the ma, nagement of the house of rep- resentatives cafeteria in the capi- tol building. He is taking on this job without pay but, feels that it will give him an opportmity to meet many legislators wholn he would not get the chance to know in his normal COtlrsc fir duties.

THE MEETING concerned with the adoption of a city building code. wa represented by members of the sheetmetal workers, car- penters, plumbers, electricians and roofers unions as well as Fire Chief T.D. Deer and Chamber of Commerce president Dick Scullers. Several proposals were offered including the writing of a short minimum code, a basic code, the prent" Y'H' code and the Pacific Coast Uniform Code. Both Chief Deer and Scullers expressed interest tn the building code. Scullers said that the Chamber has considered the build- ing code matter in the pat and that they would help in its adop- tion if they could. It was decided that each union representative should discuss the problems connected with a build- ing code in their individual unions in order to get more background information and a wider range of views on the subject.

Thin job will cost about $10,000 and bids will be accepted for this work in the. ne%r future. Many of the smaller jobs can be done by the city and present plans call for all those jobs to be done with city equip- ment and manpower. The city, however, does not have the neces- sary equipment for most of the big jobs and has to have others do the work. The city will operate on a pay as you' go basis on sew- el" work. The City Commission Tuesday announced the appointments of a new recreation Ioard consisting of Gus Hubbard, George Dos.k, Carl Downing, Bernie Bailey and Mrs. Allan LaBisaoniere. Hubbard was appointed temporary chairman. A SECOND reading of ordinance 654 was made which provides for the increase in sewer rates from $1.25 to $2.50 a month. Chief T. D. Deer reported to the commission on the meeting held last Friday night in the PUD audi- torium for the establishment of a city building code. Mayor Moore said, "I believe that the city I should not take a stand on this ' matter one way or another until we have a chsnce to study the comprehensive plan." The city agreed to rent a $L950 loader for a month in order to see if they wanted to buy it at a later  date. The commission gave permission for the dirt-obbers club to do landscape work at the log monu- ment on the top of the hill over- looking the city. inarlan, reported that the poss'- ibility of removing the paint would remove the natural oils from the feathers and could be absorbed by the skin and could be fatal to the bird. With hopes that the bird will moult his feathers (if he will eat) it was taken to a sheltered beach, where he could swim and fend for himself, rather than killing him. (Jonrnal photo.)

THE MEETING concerned with the adoption of a city building code. wa represented by members of the sheetmetal workers, car- penters, plumbers, electricians and roofers unions as well as Fire Chief T.D. Deer and Chamber of Commerce president Dick Scullers. Several proposals were offered including the writing of a short minimum code, a basic code, the prent" Y'H' code and the Pacific Coast Uniform Code. Both Chief Deer and Scullers expressed interest tn the building code. Scullers said that the Chamber has considered the build- ing code matter in the pat and that they would help in its adop- tion if they could. It was decided that each union representative should discuss the problems connected with a build- ing code in their individual unions in order to get more background information and a wider range of views on the subject. It was generally felt that the city engineer conld handle the su= pervision of the code here if adopted. ..._.- for the SChool.
