City Hires Attorney
For LID Bonding
The Shelton City Commission,
at its meeting Tuesday, voted to
hire the legal firm of Roberts,
Shefelman, Lawrence, Gay and
Moch as bond attorneys for the
street improvement LID which it
is preparing for this summer.
The action came on the
recommendation of City Attorney
B. Franklin Houston after City
Engineer Howard Godat reported
he would have the plans for the
LID far enough along by next
week so the commission could
pass a resolution on the formation
and set a date for a public hearing
on it.
Houston told the commission
that legal work in bonding was a
very specialized field, and, that in
order to be entirely sure all of the
necessary steps had been taken, it
would be best to hire a legal firm
which specialized in bond work.
The commission approved a
Fire Loss
Report Given
The fire loss in the city of
Shelton, at $58,465 for the first
six months of 1969, was much
higher than in previous years, Fire
Chief Allan Nevitt reported this
week.
The bulk of the loss, the fire
chief said, was from the blaze
which destroyed the building
housing Mac's Corner Tavern and
Lem Warren Refrigeration.
Nevitt said his department had
received 39 calls the first half of
1969, lower that in the past two
years.
The number of fires in the first
half of 1967 was 51 with a loss of
$451. For the first six months of
1968, the number of alarms was
47 and the loss $13,125.
The fire chief said the average
number of men at fires in the first
six months of this year was 10
and a total of 9,239 man hours
were spent fighting fires.
recommendation from the City

Mayor Frank Travis
re-appointed Tom Myers to the
Park and Recreation Commission.
Street Superintendent Robert
Temple reported there would be
no garbage pick up Friday because
of the Fourth of July holiday.
The pick-ups normally made on

Advisory
Council
Has Meet
About 30 persons attended an
initial meeting to reorganize the
Shelton School Advisory Council.
Those in attendance were
present members of the Advisory
Council and others who had
expressed an interest in serving on
the council in recent months.
The group discussed methods
of getting broad representation
from all segments of the
community on the council. One
suggestion which will probably be
followed would be to ask each
club or organization in the
community to name one of its
members to serve on the council,
Anyone interested in serving
on the council is asked to contact
Dr. Herbert HerBert, chairman of
the school board and investigate,
various areas of school operation.
The group set its next meeting
for 8 p.m.. July 28 in the
Evergreen School Library.
Two areas in wb./eh sub-
committees will most likely be
named are buildings and
curriculum.
ROOFS with wide
overhangs add beauty to a home
and protect windows from rain
streaks.
Julia Comments on Luml:,er Prices
Rap. Julia Butler Hanson said
this week lumber market
problems now reflect spirally
interest rates-not timber
shortages.
When lumber prices were rising
earlier this year, Rap. Hanson said
the Administration and Congress
were responsive in opening new
areas of public lands for sale of
timber. Demand recently has
slacked and prices have fallen.
"We now are seeing the results
of the ever increasing interest
spiral," Rap. Hanson said. "We
may be faced with another 'boom
or bust' 1929 situation.
"The entire timber industry
came to us earlier this year and
stated lumber was in crisis; tere
was undersupply and the industry
immediately wanted more lands
opened for sale," she said.
Rep. Hansen, chairman of the
House Appropriations
Subcommittee responsible for
funding operations in the U.S.
Forest Service, Bureau of Land
Management and Bureau of
Indian Affairs which all have
timberlands, said the
Administration and Congress
responded,
President Nixon, after a panel
study, requested special funds
which the Hansen committee and
the House quickly approved. The
Senate added its approval last
week. She said that "this reflected
the deep concern of everyone."
But even by last April 22,
when Ed Cliff, Forest Service
ChCChief, appeared before her
committee, the situation was
changing and Cliff testified: "The
plywood situation has just gone
crazy. Within the last month or
six weeks it has dropped from a
high of $144 down to $70...1
can't explain it."
In the testimony, Rep. Hansen
noted some plywood mills need
new equipment and she pointed
out that repeal of the seven
percent investment tax "will again
reflect in the manufacturing cost
of plywood."
Rep. Hansen received a letter
recently from a major producer in
Washington who told of plant
shutdowns in Washington State
and unemployment of forest
product workers. Tile manager
said: "High interest rates and
shortage of mortgage money have
Jacksons Get
Aw By Jury :.
combined to bring the sale of
lumber and plywood to a virtual
standstill."
The Congresswoman called
that letter to president Nixon's
attention along with her views
that:
"The country has a desperate
need for housing. Word must get
through to the Federal Reserve
BAnk and to tile banks of
America that they can't continue
to increase interest rates without
depressing building."
Rap. Hansen said she supports
efforts by Chairman Wright
Patman, of the House Banking
and Currency Committee, to get
the Federal Reserve Board "in a
more flexible position on interest
rates" and supports his opposition
to high interest rates.
"I remember in 1928 and 1'-)29
when certain bankers were
referred to, rather scathingly, as
'Mr. Eight Per Cent.' We now have
left eight per cent far behind,"
the Congresswoman said.
Sheriff Says Radios
In Need of Replacing
His department needs three
new radios for their vehicles and
has no money in the budget for
the purchase of them Sheriff
Wally Anderson told the county
commission at its meeting
Monday.
Anderson said the radios would
cost about $800 each. One of the
radios is completely worn out, he
said, a second is about ready to go
and a third is in dubious conditon.
About the only answer he has
been able to come up with, the
sheriff said, is an emergency
appropriation for the money to
buy the needed radios with.
The commission agreed to look
into the problem.
The commission set 11 a.m.
July 21 for the opening of bids on
Bulkhead
Permit Asked
Application has been recieved
by the U. S. Army Corps of
Engineers Seattle Office from
Frank Deemer, Star Route 1, Box
98D, Union, on behalf of Messrs,
Andrew J. Lauricella, Lloyd W.
Burchfiel, Andrew J. Demchok,
and Don M. Sharp, for
Department of the Army permit
to construct a bulkhead, and to
fill shoreward thereof in Hood
Canal north of Hoodsport.
Interested parties are requested
to submit, in writing, any
comments or objections that they
may have to the proposed work.
Tile determination as to whether
a permit will be issued will be
based on an evaluation of all
relevant factors, including the
, ffec of the proposed work on
.mavtion, fish and wildlife,
replacement of the boiler in the
court house.
A petition was received from
eight adjoining property owners on
Bayshore Drive in the plat of
Bayshore asking that the road be
vacated since it is of no use to the
county road system.
The commission set 11 a.m.
July 28 for a hearing on the
proposed vacation.
The plat of Tahuya River
Calley Division Two and Collins
Lake Division Four were approved
by the commission.
Both had been submitted by
Jerry Reid.
