Power Boating
Activities Due
Restrictions
The Mason County Board
of Commissioners agreed to
a request of the South Kit-
sap Investment company to
keep power driven boats off
of Prickett Lake which is the
site of a realty development
of that organization.
Russell Sweeney, Phil
Botch, P. E. Schultheis and
Mel Alexsich, all represent-
ing the company, "appeared
before the commission Mon-
day afternoon seeking the
acceptance of a road built by
the firm by the county.
THE COMMISSIONERS have
been very much concerned with
the meter boat problem in Mason
county and agreed with the Kit-
sap group that many of the lakes
in Mason county were too small
to allow power boating without a
danger to public safety.
County Prosecutor McClanahan
has been working on a boating
ordinance for the past couple of
weeks. The commissioners may
adopt an ordinance that womd
make power boating illegal on
some of the smaller lakes and re,
dace POWEr boating activities In
areas which they consider tz be
unsuited to major water spm
operations.
GIB RUCKER and Fred Snel-
grove of the Simpson Logging
company appeared before the
conmission for permission to al-
lo log hauling over the Vance
Creek bridge in the Skokomish
valley which was recently dam-
aged by floods.
Later in the afternoon, Glenn
Correa presented an agreement of
two independent loggers, Glen
Butler and Arthur Johnson, who
are under contract to Simpson to
use the bridge for hauls of over
eight tons.
The commissioners handed it
over to County Prosecutor Mc-
Clanahan who wrote another con-
tract agreement on the matter
The loggers agreement accepted
full responsibility for any damage
to their truck or personnel but
the county was worried that a
heavy load of logs might weaken
the bridge and cause it to fall in
when another vehicle passed
across it later.
COMMISSIONER C. W. Streck,
enbach reported that the Hsrstine
ferry will be back in operation by
today or Friday. He said there
was little repair work needed on
the vessel except painting and
some chalking.
A hearing was held on the sale
of county surplus property andit
was decided to hold the sale on
May 18 at 10 a.m. on the steps of
the county courthouSe. Most of
the prgperty consists of trucks
and coflstruction equipment.
