Thursday, March 26, 1959
A decision on the appeal of ousted Mason County .
]deputy sheriff David S. Clark will probably be made Men- TYKES ..'rn
day by the Civil Service Board. SEEK
A public hearing in the Courthouse Monday brought I BUNNY EQS
charges from Clark's attorney Frank Heuston that Sheriff Easter S,mday premiss fun
W. A. Potter had disregarded the Civil Service law in firing and excitement for all pre-
Clark. schoolers and elementary-level
chlhlren from one to eleven. The
Prosecutor Barney McClanahan, jail and the hiring of a jailer and annual Easter egg hunt sp0n-
rpresentlng the sheriff, contended matron to live in the Jail sore! by the Shelt(m Active Club
that cuts in the 1959 budget forced Budgeted cost of the kitchen, in- will begin at 1:$0 I).m. at the
cluding the two salaries, equipment Bolemtx Eleme*ary S c It o.e 1
and food, is $8',800. The food cost
in 1958 was $2,000, Potter ex-
pla/ned.
Civil Service board members
who will act o the appeal are
Eugene E. Taylor, chairman, Law-
rence A. Carlson and Oscar hevin.
the dismissal of the junior deputy
on the staff. Houston said that
since Juvenile Officer Harold
Brown, who serves part-time as
deputy, was hired after Clark, hc
would have been the person in line
for dismissal.
THE APPEAL was the first
brought in Mason County since the
approval of Initiative 23 in the
1958 General Election. The Initi-
ative, placing sheriff's deputies un-
der civil service, went into effect
December 4, 1958.
Clark testified that he had been
told by. ,tl¢.b2if,/ after December
4 tb look for another job. Clark
was written a formal letter of dis.
missal commendhg him for his
work.
Heuston asserted that since no
charge of misconduct was involved,
under the Civil Service Act the
only grounds for dismissal would
be junior status. Clark had been
on the force 18 months at the
time he was released, Brown, 14
months,
It is not mandatory that an em-
ployee be carried if funds are not
available, McClanahan argued. "I
don't see how you can reinstate a
man to a position that doesn't
exist."
Sheriff Potter said that he had
received "more complaints on
Clark than on other people." How-
ever, under heatec] questioning by
Heuston, Potter admitted, "No
member of the public complained
about Clark."
POTTER ANGRILY denied the
remark by Heuston that Clark
posed a political threat. Clark was
defeated by a small margin in the
November election for County
Clerk.
We all wished him luck,' Pot-
ter said. "If he had been elected,
would have solved the problem
the budget reduction."
Potter continued, "After he lost,
he said he would keep campaigning
for two more years. I told him if
he was not satisfied, he'd better
look for another job."
Potter said he had not included
Clark in projected schedules for
January because "I more or leas
assumed he'd found another job."
THE DELETION of funds for
one deputy's salary by the county
commissioners raised extensive
questioning of the Sheriff's Office
budget by Henston.
"It was stated Clark was dis-
missed for budgetary reasons; I
think we have a right to get into
the budget," Heuston snapped.
Potter testlfidd that the cut in
salary funds was prompted by the
addition of kitchen facilities to the

Fourteen pieces of property have not yet been purchased

Frank Porter told the Journal Wednesday.
Development of the junior
and senior high schools looms
as the biggest headache fac-
ing the Shelton school sys-

tendent of schools, told the
Political Forum Monday.
Oltman explained two more sev-
enth g'ade sections will be started
because of a large grade group•
Presently,' there are more sixth
graders in the school system than
any other grade group.
"THIS PROBLEM will be aggra-
vated with the same txth graders
entering junior and senior higlt
schools because accommodations
for students living In outlying
areas must also be made from the
seventh grade on."
The high school population is
growing, Oltman declared. He at-

The Committee is divided into
three sub-committees: an area of " ' ' '

of administration and personnel,
and an area of finance and build-
ing.
The superintendent continued t.o
outline two possibilities to ease
the influx of atudenL. They are
to keep seventh graders in ele-
mentary schools, and tn expand
present facilities of the two pro-
gram s.
"EXPANSION, however, of the
junior znd s'enibr high schools Is
impossible. Additions have been
built to the main .buildings al-
ready," OItman declared,
The expansl,m possibility Js real.

However, this would mean about
1900 students in this area and the
coneent]'ation of pupils will be

"If the plan to maintah seventh
.graders in grade schools is ac-
cepted, thLs would eliminate the
cost of erecting new buildings.

County Still Needs
14 Canal Properties
For Waterfront Road
Fourteen pieces of property have not yet been purchased
by the county for the first stretch of the waterfront road
along the North Shore of Hood Canal, County Engineer
Frank Porter told the Journal Wednesday.
Development of the junior
and senior high schools looms
as the biggest headache fac-
ing the Shelton school sys-
tem, R. W. Oltman, superin-
tendent of schools, told the
Political Forum Monday.
Oltman explained two more sev-
enth g'ade sections will be started
because of a large grade group•
Presently,' there are more sixth
graders in the school system than
any other grade group.
"THIS PROBLEM will be aggra-
vated with the same txth graders
entering junior and senior higlt
schools because accommodations
for students living In outlying
areas must also be made from the
seventh grade on."
The high school population is
growing, Oltman declared. He at-
tributed much of the growth .to
the recent recession which slowe, d

The Committee is divided into
three sub-committees: an area of " ' ' '
curriculum and materials; an area
of administration and personnel,
and an area of finance and build-
ing.
The superintendent continued t.o
outline two possibilities to ease
the influx of atudenL. They are
to keep seventh graders in ele-
mentary schools, and tn expand
present facilities of the two pro-
gram s.
"EXPANSION, however, of the
junior znd s'enibr high schools Is
impossible. Additions have been
built to the main .buildings al-
ready," OItman declared,
The expansl,m possibility Js real.
istlc in the case of Angle and Ev-
ergreen buildings, Oltman added.
However, this would mean about
1900 students in this area and the
coneent]'ation of pupils will be
heavy
"If the plan to maintah seventh
.graders in grade schools is ac-
cepted, thLs would eliminate the
cost of erecting new buildings.
