It would be part of a deal Scott is proposing which would give the county or state (whichever can come up with the money); a joint venture is being studied at present) a tract of land on Harstine Island with 3,600 feet of waterfront. Fifty to sixty acres of upland is included in that parcel but Scott is offering to throw in the 80-acre Belfair site, too, if his asking price of $485,000 is met. He estimates that the timber on the Belfair property is worth over $60,000. How the county could find funds to buy the property was one of the issues discussed at the August meeting of the Mason County Parks and Recreation Board which was held at Mason Lake. Only two of the board members appeared at the meeting, Ron Angus and Louise Ewart, but several Mason Lake area residents showed up and Scott, of Belfair. The problem of faulty boundary lines of the Mason Lake property donated to the county for a park and to the residents of Mason and Benson Lakes for a community center was discussed. One hundred-twenty feet seem to be in question. In answer to questions from the audience it was learned that: there are no funds nor present plans to remove deadheads from the boat launch area of the public access which is now part of the county park. Some of the people present complained of boats being torn by deadheads, others thought they should be left there to discourage speeding in the narrow waterway at that end of the lake. The fact that deadheads under the water also prohibits swimming from the public access was lamented by board member Angus who commented that it was a shame to spend so much on improving that park without provisions for swimming or boating. Hefelt it would keep people from using the park. the Mason Lake park will be for day use only; no caretaker will live there and closing hours will be 10 p.m. with signs with park rules posted. Who would enforce the rules and how well they would be enforced were discussed with no answers forthcoming. w Be " A football game between the Seattle Cavaliers, a semi-pro team, and the Vikings from Western Washington State College in Bellingham will be played on the local high school football field September 14 at 8 p.m. Sponsored by North Mason Kiwanis, ticket sales will benefit the patrol boat fund, a county-wide drive to raise money to buy a patrol boat for the Mason County Sheriff's Department.
