The applicants include, Angle said, administrators and assistant administrators of other hospitals in the state and some persons who have had experience in related work.

The contract was awarded to Pacific Sand and Gravel, Centralia, whose bid of $149,725 was low on the project. Other bidders were Interstate Asphalt (,o., Aberdeen, $168,820 and Ronald Wilder, Olympia, $189,590. Bids on the project were opened Monday. The award of the contract to Pacific Sand and (;ravel was on the recommendation of City Engineer Howard Godat. Godat said the contractor would be starting the work next week. "f'he first work, he said, would be on Arcadia St. and in the Angleside area. These arc the areas, Godat said, which the city has ready for the black topping. The engineer said the bids were within the engineer's estimate, but, were a little higher than tie had hoped for since all th:ee firms had bid on the basis of hauling the asphalt mix from already established plants. The project will be financed partly with funds from a lAD which was formed the past summer and the rest coming from city street funds. Residential streets will be paved with a two-inch thickness of asphaltic 22 feet wide. Arterial streets will be 24 feet wide. Also on (;odat's recommendation, the counuission approved resohttions making C St. a part of the arterial system and approving the six year street program as adopted last year with no change. Godat told the commission he had received a quote of $240 from Kimbel Construction Co. for doing some blacktopping at the log monument. The project had been approved by the City Park points which came up during a discussion of the city police court with a delegation Chamber of Commerce members the previous week. Two specific cases which were mentioned, he said, involved shoplifting in wtilch bail was set at $5 in one case and $25 in the el her. lleuston said that in each case, he had recommended and insisted on the low amounts of bail set and that the police court judge had objected to the low amounts. Another point, lie said, was the question of how a change in police court judge could be made. Since the judge is appointed, lleuston said, one of two ways would be possible, not re-appointing when the current terfn expired, changing the way police court is handled to eliminate the office and make other arrangements. The area is a touchy one, Heuston said, involving the separation of ihe legislative and judicial branches of government. He stated he did not think it would bc proper for a commission to remove a judge because they did not agree with the way tie was handling the cases which come before hint. and Recreation Board. The commission contract with Fire District 11 to provide alarm and communication service for the district when its fire truck arrives arid is in operation. Under the contract, the fire district will pay the city one-fourth of a mill on its assessed valuation for the service. City Attorney B.
