The county 'board granted the continuance when the producers presented convincing arguments of their inability to get as yet proper equipment to make the im- provements called for under the ordinance. The board denied a petition made by Jessie B. Pritchard ask- ing for vacation of a portion of an avenue in Lilliwaup Falls ad- dition when Frank Robinson of Liiliwaup pointed out to the board that the avenue was not a dedicat- ed thoroughfare and therefore the board had no right to act on the request. October 14 at 2 p.m. was set for public hearing on the petition of H. E. Lockwood et al for loca- tion of a 2¼-mile long, 60-foot wide road across the south fork of the Skokomish below Cushman Dam.

Oscar Levin, chairman of the reforestation cdmmittee, was given the task of investigat- ing the report.

Over 500 telephones were put out of service, according to J. R. Gibbons, manager of the Shel- ton-Olympia district of the Bell Telephone System, and some have not yet been restored to operation in the Bayshore area as this is being written. Bayshore apparently suffered the brunt of the storm violence with several t;eported lightning strikes in that area. Other light- ning strikes also were reported on Hlllcrest. Warren Lincoln, owner of the Bayshore Resort, relates that a tennant of one of his cabins re- ported mattress and bedcovers in his cabin were singed and burned apparently because lightning had struck the ground wire of his radio which was attached to the bedspring. The tennant was not in the cabin at the time but found the premises full of smoke upon returning shortly after the storm subsided. A radio ground wire attached to the plumbing system also was the cause apparently for sparks flying from the kitchen range in the Martin Stevens home near Bayshore, while in the same neighborhood Mrs. Claude Jack- son said she saw a ball of fire roll across her kitchen floor and all fuse plugs were blown out in the house when lightning evident- ly struck the electrical wiring or radio ground. Bark and limbs were peeled from several large trees as fur- ther evidence of lightning strikes at Bayshore. PubIic Utility District No. 3 linemen and maintenance crews were kept busy restoring power service when power lines and transformers were knocked out by lightning in several Shelton and adjoining districts. Rayonier's weather recording station regis- tered 0.63 inches of precipitation for the 24-hour period covering Sunday with over half an inch of that total estimated as occur- ing during the 20-minute duration of the storm.
