because there was too much of a

not been devoted primarily to
highway matters, his committee
a~ignments being Parks, Educa-
tion, Appropriations and Social
Security, he indicated he had been
disturbed in recent years because
the long range highway planning
in the district had been principal-
ly in the northern two counlies.
: Savage stated that while he was
satisfied Mason County was get-
ting its share of the highway tax-
es, with the development of thc
current Olympia-Shelton freeway
and the completion of which he
feels is the first order of business,
nevertheless, there seemed to be
a Void in future planning for his
area and for that reason lm had
arranged with the Senate High-
ways Commit:tee, which is current-
ly writing the bill, to make this
provision for planning of the fu-
ture freewa.ys through Mason
County and around the, Sound.
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

After studying the bids, Sheriff
D. S. ISam) Clark recommended
the acceptance of the low bid
from Pauley. Other bidders were
Moll Chevrolet, $4,856, and Kim-
bcl Motors, $4,833.
A FR.~NCltISE £or a water
distribution system on Trails End

mission after a hearing Monday
morning.
March 1965 could well go down
in the weather records here as
the driest March in those rec-
ords. . .

It'S going to have to st a r t
raining soon and rain rather hard
to keep from establishing a rec-
ord. The driest March in records
~,,t since 1932 was recorded •
1941 when 2.30 inches of precip-
itation fell.
THE AVERAGE FOR March is
6.72 inches a n d the highest
amount in the records more than
12 inches recorded in three dif-

Tile Shelton City Commission
Tuesday approved putting in sec-
tions of wate," and sewer lines on
'K' Street so they would be in
before blacktopping of the street
later this spring.
City Supervisor Pat Byrne told
the commission that bids on tile
blacktopping project would be set
for some time in April with tke
work to start in June as soon as
school was out. 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.
[ tirement.
r
rhe leave of absen.,e was ap-
proved after a letter from Dr.
B. N. 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.
An application to operate a sec.
ond hand store from Reuel Miss-
Mer was approved after the eom-
mi.~sion was told that a vacant
lot next to his business building
trod been cleaned up after a com-
mission request last week.
