City approves street
vacation requests
The Shelton City
('ommissi()la held public hearings
and approved Ihree street and
alley vacation requests at its
laeeling Tuesday night.
The commission also heard a
report from City Clerk Helen
Stodden that the city's computer
had been repaired and would not
have to be replaced, as had been
believed last week.
(;ordm Smith, representing
Ihc Retail Trade Committee of
tile Chamber of Commerce,
appeared to ask for and receive
pellnission for the annual
sidewalk sale planned for August
5.
Smith told the commission
the committee would like to
block Railroad Avenue from
Sccolld to Fourth for the sale.
There would be more definite
plal]s laler, he said.
The vacations whidl were
apploved were Eighth and Ninth
Slicers from Euclid to
Wya,dotte. Approval was
conditioned on the city retaining
7!,5 feet on Euclid Street and the
applicanl, Waite Construction,
douatiug 7% feet along Euclid
'Street to the city for street
righl-o ['-way.
City Engineer Howard Godat
told the commission he would
recommend this since the
locatiou of property lines and
Euclid put the property lines
right at the edge of the surfacing
eta the stleel.
Also vacated was South Sixth
Street from Seattle to Satsop.
(;odat told the commission the
slreel is 11ol opened and drops
inlo a canyon at that location.
The city, he said, would not
have any use tkr the street.
Tile commission approved
wJcation of the alley between
12th and 13th south of Alder
Street while retaining a utility
easement recommended by the
Public Works Department.
The commission heard a
request tar tile vacation of Ninth
Street from Pine Street to the
alley. The street, Godat said,
runs up against a bank and is of
no use to the city. An easement
for an existing sewer line was
retained in the vacated street.
A representative of Kramer,
Chin and Mayo, the consultants
for the new city wastewater
treatment plant, appeared at the
commission meeting to explain a
change order which had been
held over from previous meetings
because of some questions.
The change order involves
the addition of pozalin to the
concrete in the treatment plant.
The consultant said the
specifications had called for
concrete with and without
pozalin, and the contractor had
selected the option of not using
it.
He said since pozalin helps to
prevent deterioration of the
concrete by hydrogen sulfide, it
had been decided to have it
added.
The cost of the change order
is $3,040.
He reported construction of
the force main has been
progressing rapidly, and that the
pump station and treatment
plant are also progressing well.
Police Chief Frank Rains told
the commission the new animal
control ordinance has gone into
effect and that dog licenses are
due to be renewed July 1. He
also said he plans to extend the
hours for the humane officer to
an eight-hour day on a trial
basis.
City Attorney Herb Fuller
reported he has started
bargaining meetings with the city
firemen.
Commissioner Brad Owen
said his name could be submitted
as a representative on the
Thurston.Mason Community
Action Council until someone
can be found to serve.
The commission approved a
request from the Mason County
Citizens For Animals for the use
of the Lincoln Gym parking lot
for a distemper clinic July 8.

too small for the purpose.
They had appeared before
the commission the previous
week and the commission had
asked County Engineer Marley
Young to check into the request.
Young said the proposed site
was not large enough and the
water supply was not adequate.
He recommended the group
look for property across the road
from the county shop where
expansion would be possible if
needed in the future.
Mr. and Mrs. Guyton had
presented the commission with
an agreement on the property
they wanted the commission to
consider.
The MCCFA representatives
asked the commission if there
was some reason why there was
no action being taken on the
request and if so to tell them
what it was.
