Cascade Natural Gas Company Lets Bids For
Clearing Right-Of-Way, Shelton Lateral
City Measure
To Aid Water
Bill Collections
The Shelton City Commission
Tuesday passed a resolution whiDh
will prevent a person from getting
water turned on in a residence un-
til all previous water bills are
paid
The city had trouble in the
past with persons who run up a
water bill in one place, and then
move to a second and get water
turned on there because there was
no legal way the city could deny
service. Unpaid water bills become
a lein on-the property to which
the water was delivered.
ALSO PASSED was a resoht-
lution setting out sections of side-
walk which need repair and start-
ing action to get the property or, re-
efs to repair them. If the work
is not done by the property own-
er, it will be done by the city and
will be charged to the property on
the tax rolls.
Police Chief Paul Hinton was
authorized to hire an extra patrol-
man for the mzmmer months as a

Summer Reading
Club Begins At
5he/ton Library
Man's conquest of space is the
theme of this summer's Reading
Club at Shett0n Public Library. All
boys and girls from first grade
through Junior High are invited tc
join the club, for a summer oI
reading for fun.
Reading one book after June
is the admission to the Club: th
member then receives a member's
card with a map of space. With
each book read, a new sticker is
added to thc card. These stickers
picture the stages in man's ex-
ploration of space. The Club clos-
es on Sept 7.
Twelve books read entitle the
member to a ribbon at the end of
the shmmer, Eighteen books are
needed to complete the chart.
Books read for credit in the
club can be on any subject, but
must be titles owned by the Li-
brary, although a copy owned at
home could be used. However.
most members will probably want
to read at tea.st one book on sci-
ence, to learn more about the
Club's theme. There are many in-
teresting science books for chil-
dren in the Library.
A member, may join at any time
during the summer, but joining
early will give a head start t-
wards winning a ribbon. Joining
the club and. getting a library
card, are yours for the asking;
there is no cost involved.
The names of those winning
I awards will be published later m
the summer, Ribbons will be pre-
sented at'schooI next fall.
