When this committee comes up with its selection, she said, it will be the best site economic- ally and otherwise. The main point in Shclton's favor, she said. is that technical she can to see that it is not approved Mrs. Clocksin said. If the site selection is put into the hands of the legislature, she said, it Will become strictly pu- litical. The proposal for a new State MEMBERS of the almost all-male audience at the Shelton Chamber of Commerce meeting at Heinie's Broiler last Thursday listen (and look) intently as State Rep. Virginia Clocksin speaks. Patrol Academy is in the budget, and, if it is in the budget which is finally adopted, it will very likely be located at 'h( irport here, " With the facilities the State Patrol has here now, she said, and with the offer which has been made by the Shelton Port Commission on the needed prop- erty, no other location can offer nearly so much as Shelton. As chairman of the sub-com- mittee on pollution in the House of Representatives, she said, she had spent many hours working on a bill which, while not really satisfactory to any of the groups involved, was something which everyone could live with. This was all that could be done, she said, when starting with groups with views on both ends of the question. The legislative processes in the state are in need of reform, she said. Even though everyone knew a special session was go- ing to be necessary, it took two days to shut down the regular session at the end of 60 days and another two days to get back into operation after the special session started. There have been bills intTo- duced which would help the sit- uation, she said, such as the cross filing bill which would per- mit a bill to be filed jointly in both the House and Senate with sponsors from both houses. This would eliminate the sit- uation which occurs now when identical bills are introduced in the House and Senate and end up in each other's Rules Com- mittee since the sponsors from both houses want their names on the bill which is finally passed. Mrs Clocksin told about the program being operated for pre- delinquent youth at Ft. Flagler which she had visited. The pro- gram, operated by the State Park Department, puts t h e youths to work on park projects. Mrs. Clocksin and her hus- band, Duane, were introduced by John K. Bennett. Attending the meeting as new members sponsored by the 40 and 8 were Del Weston and John Luhm. Sheriff To Sell Shelton Hotel Friday The Shelton Hotel, a long-time Shelton landmark, beset by financial difficulties over the past several years, will go on the auction block in a Sheriff's sale at 10:30 a.m. Friday. The sale will be conducted on the east steps of the Ma- son County Court House. The sale comes as the result of a forclosure of a $36,- 735.34 mortgage by Capital Savings and Loan of Olympia. Suits filed in Mason County Superior Court at the time the hotel closed last year indicate that in addition to this first mortgage, there are additional mortgages, delinquent taxes and labor liens against the business. The hotel was closed late last year by creditors and state and federal tax officers. At the time of the closing, AMI Inc. was the owner of the hotel, the latest in a series of several over the past few years. After many years of successful operation, the Shelton Hotel Co., headed by E. H. Faubert, sold the hotel to Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Patterson who operated for a time before the company took it back in a court action. The hotel company then sold the business to Steve Sag- miller, who renovated the dining room and lobby sections of the hotel, and, who in turn sold to AMI Inc., headed by D. H. (Bob) Hoffman. i 81st Year -- No. 16 Published in "Christmastown, U.S.A.", Shelton, Washington '22 Pages -- 2 Sections ltterd u eond cintra matter at the post office at Shelton, Wahinffton 8584 10 Cents Per Copy Thursday, April 20, 1967 uader act of March $, 1879.
