1965 SHELTON--MASON COUNTY JOURNAL---Published in "Chr{stmastown, U.KAA::, Shelton, Washington AND CENTS Aspect 0f Hospital Exphi ed will be of Gen- ands needed to new and rood- County. In- of the not known at commis- would more will bids have hospital is from the All the above factors must be five years. The County Assessor evaluated to place an estimate on the tax obligation that property owners will assume in financing the proposed hospital. The laws of this State provide that Hospital Districts may not issue or sell general obligation bonds in excess ~bf 5 percent of the assessed valuation of the dist- rict. The hospital commissioners pointed out that the assessed val- uation of the hospital district, which is coextensive with the County, is $27,311,248. This would permit a maximum bond issue of $1:,365,000; however, the Board ~.ttributcs this increase in part to new construction and new pro- perry coming on the tax rolls and in part to revahmtions of existing properties. Since the. amount of money needed to retire any given bond issue remains constant, with every continual increase in the County's assessed valuation there is a corresponding decrease in the levy or millage needed to retire the bonds. For example, if it takes 2.94 mills to retire the bonds with the assessed vMuation being what it is today, in five years it would require only approximately two PAGE showing of Commisioners have decided to deficient ask the voters to authorize a les- and 'allowing ser amount, $1,100,000 which is with only 4 percent of the assessed val- licens- uation. General This brings us to item No. 2 . . . aned by the amount of funds needed an- , and neith- nually to retire the bonds. The .red suitable financial consultants to the hos- .

Let us now examine item No. 4 above . . . the Federal Aid. With the passage of the bond issue the District will be considered eligible for the receipt of a Federal Grant which could provide up to 40 per- cent of the cost of the new hos- pital. Since the Board which allo- cates these funds does not meet until after the election, it is im- possible for any applicant to de- termine who will receive this as- sistance; however, it is a known fact that the Shelton area enjoys highest priority in the State for these funds. Tim last factor and perhaps the most important one is the fact th~tt the new hospital will be op- erated by a public body elected by a vote of the people similar to ARCHERY INSTRUCTION--Archery instructions Left to right are Mrs. Vivian Query, Grapeview; the operation of a PUD or a Port are in the plans for Mason County 4-H membersNielsen, Joe Brown Jr., Mrs. JoJe Brown Sr. and District.

If he wants a hospital and is willing to pay his share of the bill, he should vote YES on the bonds, if he ~ [ ] doesn't, he should vote NO. The state law requires at least a 40 percent turnout of the num- ber" voting in the last general elec- tion and a 60 percent favorable vote must be cast to permit the bonds to be issued and sold.
