Davis Construction Co., Olympia, for the replacement of the porch of the Memorial Build- ing. The Davis bid of $2,683 was the lower of two bids received Mon- day. The other bidder was How- ard Peck Custom Builder, Seattle, with a bid of $3,518. The commission received a let- ter h'om J. XV. Goodpaster, county superintendent of schools, outlin- ing a recommended division of Federal Forest Fund money. The recommended division, Goodpaster said, was arrived at at a meeting of interested school board mem- bers. Principal Clyde Brown announc- ed today, two seniors at Shelton High School have been named Se- mifinalists in the 1965-66 Merit Scholarship competition. The students cited fin" their high achievement arc Christine McMil- lin and Reid ]'reppcrnau. They are among the highest- scoring students in the state of WashingtQn on the National Merit Scholar:~hip Qualifying Test, ad- ministered last March in more than 17,600 schools m~Lionwide. iM.ore than 14,000 Semifinalists were appointed across the country. To become fim~iists, the stud- ents mnst substantiate their qnal- ifying test perfornmnce on a sec- ond examination, snbmit recom- mendations by their schools, and fulfill routine requirements. All Merit Scholars for 1966 will then be selected from the Finalist group. "Much of our future le~adership will come from these young peo- pie," said John M. Stalnaker, pres- ident of the National Merit Schol- arship Corporation. "Semifinalists are representative of our country's most intellectually able young peo- ple. "In honoring them, we should remember that others have contri- buted significantly to their success: by encouraging the characteristics which produce high achievement, including energy and hard work. The Semifinalists bring honor not only to themselves, but also to their families, their teachers, and their communities."

The two cases, which have been combined for the court determina- tion, were filed by Cascade Olym- pia Construction Co., against the City of Shelton and against How- ard Harstad and Associates, archi- tects. The company seeks $24,614.96 from the two defendants for work It claims was done on authoriza- tion from former mayor Earl Moore and the architect. THE ACTION was the result of an advertisement for bids for the construction of a new city hall by ~he city commission tn 1961. The city intended to sell bonds to pay for the new buil'ding. Cascade Olympia was Lo have had the con- tract for the work. About the same time bids were opened and the city started to sell the bonds, petitions for a referen- dum to put the issue to a vole of the people were circulated success- fully. In an election July 16, 1961, the proposed bond issue was defeated. Cascade Olympia claims it was told to go ahead with the start of construction by the mayor and architect before the referendum petitions were received and then stopped from going ahead with the project. It claims the damages for work performed and for time lost waiting for the outcome of the vote.

School districts are asking that their mill levy be continued at 14 mills even if property assessment rates are raised to 25 percent as provided by one of the two state laws. The other law, wtlich nulli- fies, in effect, the assessment per centage increase, freezes dollar collections from property which has no improvements at their 1966 levels. THE COUNT1' is asking voters to approve a continued levy of eight mills for the current expense fund and 10 mills for the road de- partment even if assessments are increased. County Auditor Ruth Boysen has received resolutions from all school districts and the county commis- sion asking that these proposals be put on the Nov. 2 election bal- lot along with candidates for school board. Voters in the ShelLon School District will be asked to decide on another proposal at the Nov. 2 election, also. The school board at a special meeting Thursday night voi.ed to )ut before the voters a proposal to transfer $26,000 from a fund now held for the construction of et swimming pool to be used for the improvement of physical edu- cation and athletic facilities for the high school. The plan is to de,,clop facilitica on property now owned by thc school district adjacent, Lo :ML. View School for a high school foot- ball and baseball field. Some work has ah'eady been done in the area through the ef- forts of the Shelton Fullback Ch.lb. Also slated for use in the de- velopment of the field is the pro- ceeds from the sale of the Lincoln School property, which is in the process of being put up for bids by the district. VOTERS MAY II turned down a proposal to take the money from the swimming pool fund for use in the ~hool general fund. The mo- ney originally came from a bmM issue voted in 1944, but, never used because of lack of additiona1 money for the construction of a swimming pool. The mill levy proposal which will be on the Nov. 2 ballot is a means of keeping school finances in the districts from being hurl by two conflicting laws passed by the last session of the State Lcg- islature. The proposal which will appear on the ballot is authorization Lo continue the school millage rate at 14 mills even if the assessment percentage in the county is raised to 25 percent. One of the conflicting laws state that the assessor must raise pro- pmty assessment rates to 25 per- Fesdval Annual The annual meeting of the Ma- son County Forest Festival Asso- ciation will be held at 8 p.m. Sept. 30 in the PUD 3 Conference Room, president Clive Troy annovnced this week. Business of the meeting will in- clude election of officers of the association for the coming year and the start of plan~ for the 1966 festival. Everyone who bought a Forest Festival Button last spring is a member of the association and is entitled to a vot~ at thc annual meeting. PLEDGED Richard E. Mackey, Shelton, was among the students pledged to fraternities at the University of Puget Sound at the beginning of the fall semester. cent of the full value, while the other frcezcs the amount of money which any piece of property pays uu(ler the 40-mill limit to the amount paid this year, unless there have be~n improvements to the property. Another section of tile law in- stzucting the assessors to raise Lheir assessment ]'aLe to 25 per- cent contains the fornlllla under which state apportionment money for seh(~)ls is distributed. Under this formula, if a school district does not assess the nlaxinllliTl of 14 mill~, its apportionment mo- ney is reduced the amount which would bc raised if the 14-mill levy were used. UNDER TIlE I,AW freezing tax revenue at the amount collected this year, if the assessor raised tim percentagc figure hc uses from the present 20 percent to 25 per- cent, a lower mill levy would have to be used so the amount of tax dollars would not get above the level aL which they were frozen. If this were done, the school district would theu loose part of its state apportionment money sines its millage would have to be below 14 mills .to stay within the limits to which tax revenue were frozen. The proposal which will be be- fore the voters would authorize the school district to continue its mill levy at 14 mills even if as- sessment rates were raised to 25 percent, if "~pproved. The county, while it would not be faced with the loss of state revenue in addition to a. ceiling on tax revenues, wonld bc faced with the problem of how to meet the growing needs of the county with limitcd increases in assessed wtI- ua.tion to produce additional rev- enue. St: Edwards Catholic Chm'cll wasn't quite the same last Sunday. Father Mark ~asn't in his ac- customed place m the pulpit, a place he has occupied with punc- tuality, dedication, and distinction sines 1935. Fathcr' Mark had been retired from his duLics as head of the Shelton parish a few days earlier, shortly after his 90th birthday, and is now living in comparative ease at St. Martin's Benedictine Abbey at Lacey, where he is oc- cupied with writing his memoh's, hears confessions and says daily Mass, and wllere "they treat me like a king", to use his own words. FATItER MARK Wiccllmann will be missed by other than his parishoners. Patients at Shelton's hospitals and nursing holnes re- ceived daily comfort fron~ his eheerfnl, spirit-lifting visits. He missed no one, regardlessof church affiliation. Punctuality was one of his oIlt- standing characteristics. St. Ed- wards pari,*honers knew exacA;ly to the minute wi~en Mass would begin. Hospital cmployes knew ex- actly to the minutc when he would arrive. Bank personnel knew ex- :acLly when he would be on haled Monday morning ~;ith Snnday's church tythings. Just n month ago yesterday his 90th birthday was honored at a vecept;ion from 2 to 4 p.m. Father Mark arrived exactly aL 2:00 and left at exactly 4:00. Now he is retired from the heavy responsibilities of head of a sizeable parish. 'But you can bet your last dollar he ,will do whatever retirement brings to him on a strict schedule. His successor at St. Edwards is Father Gabriel Donohue, who comes from St. Martin's College. I I Member F.D.I.C.
