Mason County Residents Voice Varied Opinions
On Harstine Ferry Hike And Proposed Bridge
Among the now common correspondence to the County Commissioners regarding
the proposed Harstine Island Bridge and the proposed Ferry rate increase several differ-
ent opinions were voiced at the last regular meeting of the commissioners. From the
myriad of letters three have been chosen that seem to voice some of the less common
views. These letters are printed verbatim blow.
Honorable Sirs: community rather than & she.ok
The Harstine Island ferry and
bridge discussion is bringing the
following to a rapid boil.
If the type of unbance in ac-
quiring and using bounty tax
moneys persists as proposed by
the allowing of free rides to "foot
passengers' 'on the ferry to Har-
stine Island, I for one of several
am going to work toward a many
times suggested change. If we are
going to be required to participate
heavily in the paying for a bridge
for that area which would be of
little use to the general County
public I feel tllat it is time to
carefully consider tile same
change.
The North end of the County
forms a peninsula of considerable
size. We join Kitsap County on the
ndrth-eLSt. It is more and more
evident that this part of Mason
County is being exploited as a
means of tax moneys from which
it,derives little benefit. I realize
that this began under the leader-
ship of anothel' Commissioner in
our district and feel that Mr. Elm-
hind is trying to do a good job
for us. However. he is only one
man and this thing has begun to
snowball to the extent that I for
one am tired of having to fight
for every bit of what should be
one's inalienable rights.
Our road is billow the standard
of most roads. There is the new
two mile piece in it which ac-
centuates the rest, like the band
around an angle worm. We suffer-
ed for months on end while that
was under construction. The north
end of that tapers off to the beach,
which was an antl-climax and in
very poor judgment as far as the
overall picture of any future road
building. Our late engineer earned
no laurels by his road building
which brought the North Shore
Road around to Dewatto by. some
devious method of slnweying which
makes the beach property which
it shoul serve inaccessable from
it, unless one owns a helicopter•
I am sure that the County Assess-
or, with his eye ever faithfully
glued to the property owners'
purse strings, could have assisted
in the location of that road so that
the County could have derived
much more tax money from the
area.
If you care to compare the val-
uations in our isolated, ignored,
unserviced by anything but tele-
phone and electricity and now and
then the Toad crew, part of the
Cotmty ad-any ether'benefits you
cam.dig up for us to be grateful
f(rfith "Oie of t-tarstine Island
I think you will find some startling'
differences. Milch of our peninsula
is in excess of forty miles from
Shelton. Compare that with the
distance from Harstine Island. We
tried for many years to show
loyalty to our County. It became
one-sided; particularly since our
taxes have become so painfully
high. We lmve found that We can
save time, traveling expense and
purchasing costs by patronizing
Bremerton• Much more of the
money spent in ffie area is from
Kitsap County people rather than
those in other /)arts of Mason
County• Many in our County, have
never been here nor do they even
know Where Tahuya is or Dewatto,
or that there is a road around the
beach now. There is a place or two
along the Canal near here where
a bridge would help a large num-
ber of persons; and a ferry has
been hoped' fop frOm time to time•
As usual we have been bypassed
bY any helpful little jestures of
this kind. We didn't ask for free
passage either; nor are we in an
area tlmt leads to a jumping off
Place of no continuation such as
is the case with Harstine Island.
We have been, paying 'for the ac-
cess to that island for Io these
many years as tt is, while they
enjoyed, (tAll recently they have
had a change of heart.) their ex-
clusiveness• The change I spoke
of is that of working with those
whoiwould like to see our peninsula
as a part of Kitsap County, There
'ae many who would liF-to see
this change take place• Until fe-
el
fly or
starve, we may as well stretch ou
little used wings and see if we
can fly the coop.
So go ahead and penalize us for
trying to be good citizens; for troy.
ing to help develop this part of the
county; for so far being among
those who have paid their way as
which would devaluate tile area. If
we are to be "used" like we are
being presently and have been for'
some time now, we may have an
opportunlty to be used by Kitsap
County, which in many ways has
been good to us. Do any of the
Mason County Foresters bother
with us? No, but Kitsap Foresters
do and have helped us many times.
Do we have free toll for phoning
Shelton? No, but we do to Brem-
erton and that whole area. D. we
find any saving by being serviced
by Public Utility District N0. 3
than we did when serviced by
Puget Sound Power and Light?
No. It was supposed to give us
better service and clleaper rates
progressively. Not only do we pay
as high rates as before, but we
pay taxes on the Public Utility
District. Puget Sound Light and
Power on the other hand paid
taxes TO the County. We would
have that service if we were in
Kitsap County. Do the services
that supply our stores and homes,
such at bread "wagOns", dairy
deliveries and the like come from
anywhere in Mason County? No.
They come from Bremerton or
some other place. Do the gas, oil
and fuel companies come frmn
Shelton to us ? No. It is Bremerton
who sends most of them, or Pierce
County•
Would Shelton like to give us
all' these servises? I am sure the
answer is NO. It is a nice, easy
working thing the way it is going
now. Only, just hope that the
people don't get interested in how
come this and how come ttlat. The
more I think of the whole situation
the better I like the idea of be-
longing to Kitsap County. Do not
think that this is a fly-by-night
idea that just came to me out of
the blue• There are a great many
more .who are thinking along these
lines than you imagine. You will
perhaps say that it is not any
doing of yours that this part of
the County is where it is and situ-
ated as it is, and that you are
doing the best that you can do
for us. It was none of our doing
either, and I am wondering just
whose doing it was in the first
place. It is an extremely foolish
arrangement in my opinion. So
perhaps there will be some chang-
es made, thanks to such small
straws as our ambitious assessor,
the Harstine ferry free ride idea
and bridge and other such straws
that finally accumulate and some,
times break the camel's back.
Sincerely yours,
Ranks S. (Mrs. H. L.) Rends-
land
Honorable Sirs:
We. the officers of Overtaxed,
Inc,, of Mason County, represent-
ins hundreds of County tax-payers,
wish to protest specifically the
proposed free use of the Harstine
Island Ferry for so called "foot"
passengers, whicl we understand
to mean all those persons using
the bridge besides drivers of ve-
hicles. As the proposed bridge ties
in with any discussion of access
to Harstine Island, we include our
thinking on it as well.
The following figures are ack-
nowledged to be approximate.
They are those quoted by you, and
our deductions are taken from
those figures. The approximate
cost of a bridge to Harstine Island
fox. example, could mean that the
bridge,might cost not $662,000, as
you approximate, but could cost
$700,000 or $800,000.
The total asses.ed valuation of
Harstine Island is about $631,000.
This is $31,000 less than the cost
of the bridge as estimated, The tax
return to Iason County from the
whole Island is about $2,000 per
year. You have mentioned raising
the assessed valuation. If the
e wele
drastic raise of even 500 "
added; which would also raise a
howl oflprotest from many tax-
payers on the Island; --- it would
still only raise $10,000 pet" year, or
an increase of only $8,000 per year'.
Pertaining to th'e proposed
bridge; the $24,000 per year loss
frvn the ferry, plus the $8,000 that
you would expect to gain in taxes
amounts to $32,000 per" .year. At
this rate it would take over
twenty years to pay for the bridge•
It would probably take longer
than 20 years as there would be
some maintenance on the bridge.
You will likely attempt to raise
the taxes -- bridge or no bridge.
Certainly it is our opinions that
yoU should at least charge a Just
fee for ferry users in the interim.
Most other ferries and toll-bridges
in this state charge a fee for all
additional passengers in cars and
for pedestrians, and adjust their
rates so as to try to make the
ferry or bridge nearly, if not com-
pletely, self-supporting. It does not
appear to us that you are trying, if
you do not charge for like passen-
gers, If the proposed ""free" rides
obtain, what move will you make
to cover a bus run to the Island ?
Do you have figures on any other
ferries which do not charge for
foot passengers to, compare in your
evaluation? It is our belief that
s concerned t is no more a part
of the r'oad system than are all
other ferries or bridges. We have
to pay to ride those ferries or
cross toll-bridges. Possibly more,
..... at least mgny persons are in-
terested in visiting Webb Look-
out which has a one-way, one-car
at-a-time, approximately 15% or
more grade road) than want to see
Harstine Island as far as anyone
clamoring for access to it. It is
similar to most parts of tile
County as fat' as being a place
wllere non-residents would wish
to go. As flu' as new projects
versus old ones, there are many
other existing parts of the system
in the County wtlich need improv-
ing and which are used by many
more persons in and out of the
County.
Ill sumnmtion, we strongly pro-
test bearing the blunt of further
burden of taxes which not only is
of no real benefit to the County as
a whole, but which gives those who
profit from the "free" rides no
part in paying for them. We ask
that you reconsider your decision
to allow free passage--by anyone,
unless children -- and make a
charge which will be commenstu'-
able to ttle service given and the
cost of maintenance. We also pro-
test the building of a bridge that
would cost more than the value
of the area it would serve, not-
witttstanding that we realize that
specifications made mandatory by
the Govmment heighten the
probable cost. Thank you for your
time and courtesy.
Respectfully yours,
Miles E. Staley, President
Overtaxed, Inc. of Mason County
To the Honorable Board of County
Commissioners of Mason County.
Shelton, Washington
As a resident of Mason County
I would like to comment on the
proposed raise in rates on the
Harstine Island ferry. Surely it
ts not unreasonable to ask the
residents of this island to bear
a substantial share of tile ex-
pense for the transportation which
serves them. In this Puget Sound
area there are many ferries serv-
ing many areas, including' several
islands. If the argument of the
residents of Harstine Island that
the ferry is only tlle extension of
the dounty road i. valid, would
not the residents of Vashon and
Bainbrldge islands for instance,
be entitled to free ferry service
also? That the distance is short
is undeniably true but the pro-
posed rate is conimensurately low.
It is not expected the! island
residents, will maintain the com-
plete expense of a ferry. But the
taxpayers of Mason County, many
qf whom will never or seldom use
the ferry, should not be expected
to do so either. Some of the ex-
pense should be defrayed by the
people whom it; serves and who
nee it most often as is the case
with our other' Washington ferries.
Yours truly,

1 8-YEAR-OLD DRIVERS
LICENSE MINIMUM ASKED
As a parent of three growing
children I am very much concern-
ed with the juvenile problems in
Mason County. I would like'to see
my children grow up to live full,
helpful lives and add to our com-
munity.
I think the juvenile problem
stems from the lack of something
for our children, to do with them-
selves rather than standing on
street corners and malting a gen.
eral nuisance of themselves.
We have in the past had teen-
agers drinking, racing around
town, breaking lights, windows,
and entering homes. I remember
as a boy myself that I did things
when in a group that I would not
have done alone.
I would like to make a suggest-
ion for juvenile control. As we all
know, the car is a very big lead-
er to these troubles. I think we
sholfld do everythfng in our pow-
er to get a law. passed that a
boy or girl be 18 years old before
they could get a drivers' license•
When teenagers are going to
school until they are 18 years old
to have a car while in school puts
a burden on the parent financ-
ially and the responsibility is too
much to endure if that car is in-
volved in an accident. If the par-
ent does not have the means to
support and buy gas, oil, tires,
etc, for the car the boy would
have to get a job to support it.
I maintain that a boy going to
school and working nights can not
do his school work as it should
be done and drive that car around
and support it too.
I know this is not going to make
me very popular with the teen-
agers. I can remember when I was
in school the boys with cars were
popular with tile girls. As
a parent I think we should tell

'Good For Wood' Week In Washington
Mrs. Hansen Describes Efforts
In Congress For Timber Industry
By Congre.swom'm Federal timber sale procedures
Jtflia Butler |lansen
This has been a "good for wood"
week in Washing ton. Certainly
not since I was elected to repre-
sent the Third District--and not
in recent memory of the many
people Wild have spent years ar-
ound the Congress--have so many
issues affecting the West Coast
forest products industry been re-
viewed in the national capitol•
Previously, I have mentioned my
concern over the very serious
problem of Canadian competition
.affecting the logging and saw-
milling of Washington and Oregon
and introduced a bill several weeks
ago proposing a selution to cargo
lumber shipping from West Coast
sawmills to the great markets of
the Atlantic Coast.
The cargo lumber problem,
which grows out of the fact
American shippers must use high-
cost Americau merchant marine
vessels under long-established
maritime laws while Canadians are
scot-free to ship lumber in any
vessel they can hire. was contin-
uing to recmve close attention
here all week.
SENATOR Magnuson and other
members of the Pacific Northwest
delegation quizzed Conlrnel'ce Sec-
retary Hedges relative to this sub-
ject on Tuesday•
It is now apparent that with
the lnolnentunl flow behind the
hrmber import subject here in
Washington, D.C., there will be
public hearings on proposed legis-
lation within the nexl few weeks.
A second problem of the himber
industry affecting even more op-
erators than ]unlber alone is an
adjustment of rel.ationships be-
tween timber buyer's and the
United States Forest Service. A
national rally of more than 50
timber operators, large and small,
from all parts ,of the country,
expressed their feelings to Agri-
culture Secretary Orville Freeman
here Wednesday morning.
I was pleased to receive invite-
which inhibit purchasers from de=
veloping long-term approaches to
problems of product quality and
development, protnotion, utiliza-
tion and financing tend to cause
increasing instability in employ-
ment m the industry on which so
marly communities are dependent.
Continuation of these unfavorable
conditions is destructive to the
nation's lumber industry."
THE LUMBERMEN asked the
Secretary to do five things: (1)
set forth objectives of national
forest timber management with
dtle regard for stability of depend-
ent communities, continuity of em-
ployment and a healthy wood pro-
ducts industry; (2) an orderly pro-
granl of timber sales; (3) a new
and improved system of timber
sale appraisals; (4) a new appeals
procedure dealing with problems
between timber buyers and the
forest agency and (5) a new
timber sales contract form "pro-
"riding for a normal buyer and
seller relationship."
The pt'oblems and suggested
changes earnestly presented by
this gathering of lumbermen, de-
scribed by Doyle as the largest
ever to meet with the Secretary of
Agriculture, received a wide ex-
pression of interest from Senators
and Congressnlen attending. I
jpined ore- Northwest Senators in
urging the Secretary to give
prompt attention to the problems
enumerated by industry spokes-
men.

The cold weather was indirect-

cussed a nUmber of special events
scheduled for this year.

vention schedule• It was preceded
