Knight Some, who live at Sunset Beach on Chapman Cove, stated their beaches were muddy now, and if the extension was allowed it would further complicate the problem. Objections to the adverse effect on their beaches and views were also voiced by property owners on the other side of the bay whose property would face the extended log storage area. The Simpson officials stated they would welcome suggestions where the additional storage could be located at the Chapman Cove site to alleviate these problems. A question was raised as to why Simpson could not go to an entire dry-land operation, getting all log storage out of the bay. Roder stated the main problem was that the mills were built to receive logs from the water and that it was necessary to store a certain amount of logs in order to have the kind necessary for the various operations on hand when they are needed. Another thing, he said, is that Simpson buys and sells logs to maintain the supply of the type of logs it needs and that these logs must be transported by water. In order to get logs into the mills without using the water, the Simpson officials pointed out, it would be necessary to fill in in front of all the mills, which would also require a permit which would be almost impossible to get. The commissioners voted to continue the hearing until 7:30 p.m. August 27, arranging to have an evening meeting at the request of the protesting group, who stated there were more people who would like to attend but were unable to attend an afternoon meeting. Roder issued a statement Tuesday outlining the company's position. The statement said: "Simpson is continuing to improve its Oakland Bay log storage area. Since the installation of the company's log sorting area west of Shelton and the bundling of logs, giant strides have been made in cleaning up the bay. "All log loads, both from the sorting yard and from the contract loggers, are strapped by steel bands and lowered carfeully into the bay by cranes. This operation eliminates the breakage and loss of excess bark caused by the former loose log dumping FLOORCOVERING & APPLIANCE CENTERS Buy Qua ity with Confidence SAL ~ed on room ' Other Dining Room • 10x7 \ • Living Room • 15x12 Hall • 9x3 Bath • 6x4.

The bundled logs take up 25 percent less space than before and call for fewer rafts to be made. "A concerted effort has and is being made to eliminate as much storage space as possible within Oakland Bay. Simpson has already eliminated 60 acres of storage on Munson Point and has a tentative agreement to eliminate 30 additional acres, thus eliminating all log storage on Munson Point. The objective of eliminating the total of 90 acres at Munson Point will require the approval of the 30-acre addition as requested from the Mason County Commissioners. The 30 acres is proposed to be located in upper Oakland Bay and is an extension of the present storage there. "Oakland Bay is actually a very versatile business, recreation and home site community. Improvements are being made, and we are designing equipment to clean up past debris as our plans progress. Contracts have been underway for some time to pick up deadheads. Future use of the bay will continue. Many transactions are from outside the Shelton Working Circle and the interchange of log rafts is a necessary part of Shelton's economy."
