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 of two early-day up with an answer by the end a . , .ac ns were hen- of this week in order to get the )d' CitY,me.morialCalifgrovethis proposal on the ballot.. by Simpson Tim- enjoyment.
