City Declines
School Request
To Sell Land
In a letter to the Shelton School
board this week, the city commis-
sion told the school group they
ere not interested in selling the
area in Loop Field on which the
tennis courts are. located.
The school board had asked the
city about the possibility of pur-
Chasifig (hepYope+ty because the
school wanted to repair the courts
and did not feel it should as long
as it did not own the property.
CITY SUPERVISOR Pat Byrne
told the city commissioners he had
a list of a number of sidewalks
in the city which were in need of
repair and asked ff a city ordin-
ance under which property owners
can be forced to put in sidewalk
would also apply to replacing side-
walk.
The commission asked City At-
tqrney John Ragan to check the
ordinance to see if it would apply.
Byrne reported that the work
on the Angle Way slide area was
about completed and that the
street should be open today.
THE COMIIISSION gave first
reading to an ordinance to in-
crease the amount allowed a
prisoner serving out a fine in city
jail from $3 to $6 a day. The
ordinance also provides that pris-
oners serving city jail sentences
can be required to work eight
hours a day on city projects.
Ragan presented an opinion to
the commission that the Commun-
ity Concert Association would be
exempt from the city's admission
tax

to use foreign vessels to ship to
Puerto Rico. This is Simpson's

The importance of the lumber
industry to Washington's econ-
omy is evident in these statistics
from the State Department of
Commerce and Economic Devel-
opment.
The 700,000 bd. ft. being loaded
by Simpson represents a year of
mnployment for nine people, a
direct payroll of $41,125, employ-
ment for 32 people in supporting
businesses, three (lays of work for
39 longshoremen, products val-
ued at $126.000 and direct state

Athletic Field Study
The Shelton School Board Tnes-
day night voted $1.500 to have an
engineering study to get estimates
on the cost of a new athletic field
for the school system.
The step was taken as a follow+
np of an offer of a group of in-
terested citizens at the board
meeting last month to donate labor
and use of equipment in some
phages developing school-owned
property near Mt, View School as
an athletic field.
The engineering study will give
the board an idea how much
money would be required from the
school district and how the volun-
teer assistance could best be used.
SUPT. OF SCHOOLS R. W. eli-
man was instructed to look around
for a qualified engineer to make
the study.
The board opened bids on a
language laboratory for the new
Grant C. Angle School addition.
The bids were turned over to a
committee of school administrat-
ors and board members for study
and recommendation.
Bids were received from Audio-
Visual Center, Inc., Seattle;
American Seating Co., Portland
and Frank B. Cohen, Seattle.
The board was assured by school
administrators that there would be
no repetition of an eighth grade
English composition assignment
to which the board had objected
when it was brought to their at-
tention.
The assignment, taken from a
national scholastic publication
asked the students to write on
which two of four persons in a
fallout shelter should sacrifice
themselves so the limited amount
of food could be used by the other
two to survive.
The board adopted a policy set-
ting'*the.retirement age for.c'ool
employees at 65. +An employee
after that age could continue
working if requested by the school
administration and approved by
the board to do so.
THE BOARD VOTED to have
an appraisal of school property for
insurance purposes made. Rocky
Hembroff appeared at the board
meeting to discuss having this
done.
The board voted to ask the city
to do necessary repair work on the
tennis courts on Loop Field. The
school board had asked the city
about purchasing the property. In
a letter read at the meeting Tues-
day night the city said it would
not be interested in selling.
The board accepted the resig-
nation of Mrs. Laura Murphy as
clerk of the board, effective
March 31:
