For the last two years he has been the chair- man of the Queen's Coronation Banquet, which is sponsored by the Shelton Chamber of Com- merce. This year the banquet is to be held May 20.

Savage said i]e also expected to arrange with the Highway Die" partnmnt to have meetings u ith the several communliies in the counties previous to rheA' under- taking the study.

Savage said that the Depart- ment of Institutions has had dis- cussions with other states which could result in women inmates from Other states being housed here if the population from Wash- ington did not fill it to capacity. In his proposal for the new in- stitution here, Dr. Heyns stated that it would cost less than the proposed remodeling of the maxi- mum security facilities at Medical Lake, and, that hy utilizing some of the facilities of the already- [ established Corrections Center here, the cost of operation could be reduced. GEORGE HERMES ':['he Mason County Commission Monday voted to award to Jinl Pauley Inc. a contract to furnish the Sheriff's office with three new in a bid opening Monday morning.

Part of the pro- Ject runs in front of Mt. View School. Byrne told the commission the water and sewer installations were part of what would be needed to serve new developments in the area beyond the project, but, tl they were not put in before the street project was done, it would probably be necessary within a short time to get them in. PROPERTY OWNERS who would benefit from the installs tlons would pay part of the cost of the project when they connectec~ tip with the utilities, Byrne said. The commission approved a leave of absence for Fire Chic/ T. E. Deer while the Firemen'a Pension Board works out details on his request for disability re.

Collier was read in which the doctor stated that Deer could [continue to hold his position a.~ Fire Chief if his duties were lim- ited to a supervisory capacity. [ Since the Fire Chief's dutie: 'here include more than supervis dry activities, a leave of absenct. was approved. City Attorney John Ragan was instt~mted to check into a request from Donn Nelson that a fence blocking a city street on Capitol Hill be removed. I' The commissiou told Ragas that if the fence was actually T~locking the city street, to take the neces- sary action to have it removed.
