LVIII—NO. 23 Bids Opened On 2nd Leg 4 ;Of Railroad Four Seattle and one Great ‘Falls, Mont., construction com- panies were apparently low bid- ders as figures for the construc- tion of the seCOnd half of the new Bremerton-Shelton railroad were opened last week in the public works division of the Pu- ; get Sound Navy Yard. Two of the I‘Seattle firms were joint bidders, ‘ so only three low bidders were re- vealed by naval authorities. Apparently the lowest of the bids was that of the Sound Con- struction Company and Peter Kie- wit Sons Company, both of Seat- tle, $2,341,340.57. An alternate bid, offered if the federal govern- 'ment provides certain materials for the work, was also submitted, aggregating $2,057,817.49. Other Bids The other two bids announced, and alternate figures, were sub— mitted by Bowen and McLaughlin, Greitt Falls, $2,395,405 and $2,- 124,410.59, and Guy F. Atkinson Company, Seattle, $2,576,859.93 and $2,276,177.08. The contract covered by the bids includes construction of ap- proximately 23% miles of track, from the Kitsap-Mason county line into Bremerton, including a line to the Naval Ammunition De- pot, as well as highway overpas- ses and other work. All of the bids submitted will be sent immediately to the Bureau of Yards and Docks at Washing- ton, D. C., where the award will be made. Construction of the first half of the railroad from Shelton to the Kitsap County line, already is un- derway and is being done by the General Construction Company of Seattle. Oyster Men File Damages Damage suits totaling $224,- 448.49 were filed in federal court Thursday by eight Olympia oyster bed owners against Rayonier In- corporated. The suits allege dam- age and destruction to the oyster crops in 1941 and 1942 and dam- age to future propagation of crops through pollution caused by .wood pulp and chemicals allowed to escape into the waters of Oak- land and Oyster bays and Ham- mersley inlet by the defendant’s pulp and paper mill at Shelton. Plaintiffs and the amounts they are seeking are: Olympia Oyster company, $100,009.39; J. J. Bren- ner Oyster company, $34,303.24; W. J.

Edgar W, Cole, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. 0. Cole, arrived home Monday on furlough from England, where he has been taking part in the pro-invasion bombing campaign against Ger- many. Edgar, a graduate of the Shelton high school in June 1941, was engineer—gunner on a. Flying Fortress, and successful- ly completed 30 combat mis- sions over the continent; and after a short rest will be off again for reassignment to new duties elsewhere. During his tour of operations, he distinguished himself on many occasions and was award- ed the Air Medal with four Oak Leaf Clusters; and just before leaving England-was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross, one of the top honors bestowed on Army or Navy airmen. . The citation given him with this medal reads in part: “For extraordinary achievement while serving as Waist Gunner on a. B-17 airplane on combat missions over Continetal Eu- rope. Displaying great courage and skill, Sgt. Cole, fighting from his gun position, warden off many enemy attacks and materially aided in the success of each mission. The coolness, courage and skill displayed by Sgt. Cole on all these occasions reflect the highest credit upon himself and the Armed Forces of the United States. Home ad- dress: Shelton, Washington.” Kiwanians See Desert Battle Film. The Shelton Kiwanis Club had a full house at dinner Tuesday‘ for the showing of the Navy ed film “Diaoert Victory,” secured by M. H. l‘lcodllam through the Coast. Guard. The film was leng- thy, requxring an hour to run, and was in the main of war pictures taken in Africa by the photogra- phers connected. with the British forces, and devoted mainly to that division of the big contest at Al- amcin, in which General Alexan- dcr outsmari‘cil the canny Rom- mcl and routed the German army. Some German film was included which was taken in that country showing conferences at home by high Nazis, and captured as part of the spoils of war. Real Thing The film was the real thing giving every phase of the prepara- tion and the skirmishes leading to the final battle, and the var- ious strategies were illustrated. The sound battle effects at times Were thunderous and gave some hint of what our boys have gone through in Italy and are now fac- ing on the invasion front in France. The big guns, the bombs from planes and the hand fighting by infantry and tanks on the desert sands presented a taste of purga- tory in which many lost their lives. There was no film of direct . American participation, but our troops were in the fighting, and their picture story will be shown later on when it is released. Included were glimpses of Churchill’s visit to the front. and scenes of factory production in England, where a large percentage of the workers are WOmen doing their bit with little evidence of any shirking. Organization of G.O.P. Work is Started. Thursday evening of last week a meeting sponsored by the Young Republican Club of Mason County was held in the court house for all precinct committeemen and their assistants, to complete their or- ganization.

PrOduc- ti0n chairman of the Red Cl‘Oss in Mason County, has ammunc- ed that all workers are to call for their summer Work at the in the Red own- ' 1 Council Works On Street_ Oilin g Oiling of city streets as a sum- mer program of the street depart- ment occupied the main attention of the City Council at their reg- ular meeting last Thursday eve- ning. Engineer Phillips recommended that not less than two applications of oil and rock be placed on the streets. He pointed out that last year due to the oil shortage, only one coat was put on many of the local streets and the coating did not hold up as well as previously. Mayor Catto directedfitheStreet Committee to convene with Phil- lips and Street Superintendent E. E. Brewer to work out a program of oiling so that streets now ready for application of oil would be taken care of. Those streets not down to grade, would be grad- ed up this fall so that they might be oiled next summer. waer Dangerous Councilman W. F. , McCann brought to the attention of the council the dangerous condition being created by the now" aban- doned watch tower on Hillcrest. He stated that he had received many complaints of small chil- dren climbing up the stairs, and pointed out the danger of their falling off the tower. Mayor Cat- to stated that the situation would be taken care of immediately and the tower protected in such a way that small children could not climb it. , The Council also granted per- mission to the U.S.O. for the use of Franklin Street between sec~ ond and third for a pavement dance on the evening of June 21 and directed that the block be closed off for the occasion. In answer to a. question put to him by Councilman McCann, City Attorney Charles Lewis, stated that in the matter of the bond of Jordan Clapper, charged with mis- l appropriation of city funds, he ihad filed suit against the bond- ,ing company because of their failure to pay the city’s claim, and that the matter would now i wait court action. i Some discussion was held as to , the future of the youth movement lin the city with the council ex- lpressing the desire to give all possible backing to any ,worth-' .while plan for youth recreation.

No Rest for The Taxpayer; Auto Use Tax Stamp go on Sale June 10 Auto use tax stamps in the denomination of $5.00 will be plac- ed on sale in all post offices and most Internal Revenue offices on Saturday, June 10, Collector Clark Squire announced today. The stamps will evidence pay- ment of the tax for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1944. They are required to be on cars in oper- ation on that date. The new stamps are serially numbered, gummed on the face and have provision on the back for entry of the make, model, serial number and state license number of the vehicle. To guard against loss or theft, Squire suggested that when af< fixing the stamp, the vehicle own- er dampen the windshield rather than the adhesive side of the stamp. The lower right hand cor- ner of the' windshield has been designated by the State Patrol as the proper place to affix the stamp. . u“ As a special precaution and to substantiate purchase in case of loss, the Collector suggested that each motor vehicle owner make a. record of the serial number of his stamp at the time of purchase. Every ,owner of. a motor ve- ' hicle which will be. used on the public highways in July will be liable for payment of this auto use tax for the full fiscal year. Post offices will sell the stamps over the counter for cash only. Officers of the Collector of In- ternal Revenue are authorized to accept cash, post office money orders and certified checks in pay’ ment of the auto use tax stamp. Uncertified checks will not be ac- cepted. The Collector also announced that post offices will no longer sell auto use stamps in a. denomin- ation less than $5.00. Post offices will sell the $5.00 denomination stamps only and motor Vehicle owners liable for payment of the use tax after July for periods of less than the full year must ob- tain their stamps in lesser denom- inations from the Collector of In- ternal Revenue. The law requires automobile owners not only to purchasa but to prominently display the stamps on their motor vehicles. For the sake of uniformity, they are di- rected to affix stamps to their windshields in the lower right hand corner. As in the past In- ternal Revenue Deputies will check cars in search of violators. Application for purchase of boat use stamps for the new fiscal year are now being mailed to boat own- ers in this district. The boat tax is determined by the length of the boat. These stamps must. be purchased through the office of the Collector. lFiith war 60 PER COPY; $2.50 PER YEAR Loan Will OpenMonday; Looal Quota Is $700,000 Paul Wood Jr. Is Listed As War Prisoner D-Day will live in memory for Mr. and Mrs. Paul E.

With a quota of $700,000 for Mason county, the largest yet given this 'county for the sale of War Bonds, the Fifth War Loan will open next Monday morning. Vt’alter M. Elliott, County War Bond Chairman announced yester- day that plans had been perfect- ‘ed for the local drive and that ihe expected this county to con- tinue its fine record. Mason county has never failed to exceed its quota in War Bond drives, and during the Fourth War Loan was the first county in the state to reach its $575,000 quota, and went on to exceed it by over $200,000. Two drives will be conducted in the county this year with the W0- men‘s Federated Clubs conducting a house-to-house campaign thru— out the county under the direction of Mrs. M. L. Watson, and the men organizing a sales group un- der the chairmanship of Laurie Carlson. Offices for the county drive will be opened in the H. L. Olstead Insurance Agency and anyone who is not reached by a solicitor may go there to purchase bonds. Elliott pointed out the great task before the people of the county in selling this amount of bonds. During the Fourth War Loan $300,000 was alotted to in- dividual purchasers and $375,000 was sold. This time the quota for individual purchasers has been raised to $400,000 and the main emphasis of the drive is being placed on this type of buyer. Mrs. Watson issued the follow- ing, call to women of the county in inaugurating the drive: “It’s to mothers, wives and sweethearts that the real invasion has started, and our boys are giv— ing their all, even life itself. We, must not fail them in this crucial hour. Mason county’s quota for the Fifth War Loan is $700,000 and the women of the county have (Continued on page two) iAWS Meeting on.
