prohibits the collection of i0
mills of 50 percent valuation is
completely ignored. Regardless of
all other factors this use of 50
percent (previously 25 percent)
has resulted in the artificial
elimination of 12 of the
thirty-nine counties from any
participation in Motor Vehicle
Tax receipts on the basis of
"Need" and results in the
distribution of 30 percent of all
Motor Vehicle Taxes among the
remaining twenty-seven counties.
Mason County is one of the
twelve counties which are thus
considered to have "Zero Needs".
Mason County is further
penalized in the computation of
"Need" by reason of the fact that
the Tax Commission has used a
hypothetical "full value"
appraisal of rural property in
Mason County which appears to
have no relation whatever to the
actual value. The Tax Commission
has apparently disregarded
completely its own sample
appraisals of Mason County
property and has simply assigned
to Mason County an unrealistic
"Growth Factor" of 1.72 for the
preceding 3-year period. For
whatever the reason, the Tac
Commission certified to the
Director of Highways (State Aid
Engineer) that a 10-mill Road
Levy in Mason County would
produce $1,445,864.67 in 1970.
(The corresponding figure for
Thurston County is
$1,489,108.36 and for Kitsap
County is $1,935,669.55.) It is
this writer's humble opinion that
these figures are absurd-in whole
or in part particularly when they
tend to show that Mason
County's local resources are
almost identical to those of
Thurston County and equal to
three-fourths of the local
resources of Kitsap County.
This rather tedious
recapitulation and comments
thereon of the statutory manner of
distributing the counties' portion
of Motor Vehicle Taxes is set
forth here in order that, as a
matter of public record, it will
serve as a means for the people of
Mason County to understand the
necessity for so grave a reduction
in road construction for 1970.
The "Gas Tax Formula" is also
used to compute the division of
Federal Aid Secondary Funds
among the counties. This means
that with the presently
anticipated annual gross amounts
available fo~ distribution tl~
annual loss to Mason County will
be between $160,000 and
$170,000. (FAS construction for
1970 will not be affected.)
"Unless and until some
readjustment of the current
distribution percentages is made,
it is imperative that the Mason
County Road Department revise
its construction program to the
extent of eliminating several
planned contract construction
projects county-wide. Such
reduction must be made now
without indulging in the hope that
some sort of relief is on the way.
A t the same time certain
maintenance operations will be
studied for reduction and some
reduction in maintenance is
planned; however, maintenance at
a reasonable minimum level is a
continuing absolute necessity and
is done by county forces. There
are presently two tess than the
normal full crew in road
maintenance. It is not
contemplated that these vacancies
will be filled now or in the near
future.
"The recommended program
has been discussed at considerable
length with members of the
Board. Contract construction
together with county-forces
operations involving large cash
expenditures for materials have in
general been recommnded for
elimination in order to preserve
sufficient funds to keep the Road
Department organization intact
and to perform essential
maintenance. Reconstruction of
critically needed bridges has been
recommended. Some hope is held
for some form of relief from this
drastic cutback and if relief comes
it will be retroactive to March I.
The detailed justification for, and
the problems faced in obtaining
any such relief are far too
complex to discuss here. If any
such relief should come, there is
scarcely any liklehood that it
would be in time to affect 1970
construction significantly."
Are Named
Attorneys were appointed for
two defendants when they
appeared before Judge Hewitt
Henry in Mason County Superior
Court.
Named to represent Floyd
Strobel, 31, Olympia, was Gerry

Oil Dumping
Irks City
Someone, either inadvertently
or intentionally, has been
dumping an estimated 200 to 300
gallons of waste oil into the city
sanitary sewer system, City
Engineer Howard Godat told the
city commission at its meeting
Tuesday night.
Godat said the oil causes
problems at the disposal plant and
said efforts are being made to find
where it comes from so the
dumping can be halted.
