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 Planning Commission for a change in zone from RI to C! for J. B. MeClanahan in the Mt. View area. 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 Friday will be made on Saturday 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.
