out that both hoe-
)'itals here were now operating in
the black, and, there was no rea.
son to expect that a new hospital
could not do the same.
They also pointed out unless one
of the senior taxing districts in
the city of Shclton gave up pa.rt
of their millage under the 10-mill
limit, the hospital dist~'ict would
be unable to get any in the city
~nd consequently could not
levy in the county outside the city
limits.
Requests have been received
from six voting precincts to be
excluded from the district, Tahu-
ya, three Belfair precincts, Allyn
~md Grapeview. The district must
be formed on precinct lines.
The commissioners at their reg-
ular meeting Monday discussed
the problem of excluding the areas
which should be left out, but, still
keeping the district large enough
to be able to finance the $750,000
bond issue needed to build a new
hospital.
The commissioners Monday, first
passed a motion by Harry Elmhmd
that Tahuya and the three Belfair
precincts be excluded. Later, they
retracted this action by a ma-
jority vote.
A m'ottm by John Bariekman
that the district be countywide did
not get a second.
The commissioners continue to
study the problem, and must come
