the military institution.

board would have come up for
election this fall as his four-year

The school board gave no
indication as to whether or not it
would appoint someone to the
position before this tail's election.
Bids were opened Tuesday
night by the Shelton School
Board for tennis courts and
athletic facilities at the new high
school.
The bids came in higher than
had been estimated.
The board set a special
meeting for noon Tuesday at the
Evergreen School Library to make
a determination as to what should
be done.
They also asked architect
John Richards to get cost
breakdowns from the low bidding
contractors to see where the costs
were and if some could be
reduced.
Apparent low bidder was
Lincoln Construction Company,
Spanaway, whose base bid was
$136,659. Abscher Construction

There were five alternates
with the bid, including

and D-A Construction $15,265.

contact Lincoln Construction
about the apparent error in its bid

REAL ESTATE ~ .,:::
showing your house
to a buyer Vince Himlie
HIMLIE REALTY
You don't have to roll out the red carpet. But there are
certain little things that anyone can do to make the visit more
pleasant for the buyer.
Avoid having too many people around if you know a buyer is
coming.
The owner should not accompany the Realtor and prospect
through the house unless asked. It s the Realtor s job to know
what features will interest the buyer and to point these out to
him.
Don't try to engage the buyer in needless conversation. And
don't make apologies for the way the house appears at the
moment.
Don't discuss price or other terms of the sale with the buyer
and refer him to the Realtor, who will have a better knowledge
than you of the sort of deal that will interest the buyer. Don't
"put the cart before the house" by attempting to discuss lesser
aspects of the deal -- such as sale of the furniture -- before the
deal has been completed.
And do keep the house free of such distractions as overly
friendly pets, noisy radios and scampering children. Always give
the Realtor a chance to do his very best for you. That way, you'll
have every reason to expect prompt and satisfactory results.
