administrator at its meeting
Wednesday night.
Richard Angle, chairman of the
commission, said final action on
the dismissal would be taken
unless ttopper submitted his
resignation, which would then
ntake the board action
unnecessary.
Angle said the commission had
received Ii applications for the
position of hospital administrator
and had interviewed several of the
applicants already.
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.
Three of the applicants, he
said, have master's degrees in
hospital administration.
The commission will continue
to investigate the top applicants
and probably conduct additional
interviews, Angle said.
A new administrator could be
named the latter part of this
month, he said.

City Signs Contract
For Street Improvement
A contract for surfacing about
85 blocks of streets in the city of
Shelton was approved by the City
Commission at its meeting
Tuesday.
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.
