OCtober or
attcnd the
Superin-
meeting in
commission that since McClana-
han was the commission's legal
representative, he strongly urged
them to follow his (McClanahan's)
advise.
McClanahan said he would seek
an Attorney General's Opinion on
the question.
The commission was met with
a storm of protests Monday from
representatives of the Belfair, A1-
lyn and Grapeview Fire District
Commissions who had circulated
and presented to the commission
petitions from residents of six
precincts asking that they be tak-
en out of the district.
William Seiners, Grapeview, act-
ing as spokesman for the group,
presented to the commission a
list of questions which had been
compiled at a joint meeting of
the three fire district commissions,
which asked for clarification ot
a number of questions.
The North Mason group pro-
tested they were being dragged
into the district against their will
and that the proposal had been
misrepresented by supporters ot
the hospital district in previous
hearings and statements.
UP UNTIL McClanahan gave
his recommendation to the coun-
ty commission last week, the corn-
party functionaries that his card
had been pulled. It is the practice
in the party to pick up the card
of any member running for or
serving in public office. This was
done to cut down the risk of dis-
closure."
Stevens stated in his affidavit
"On at least two oecmsions at
Frank Gallagher's home, Savage
was present at executive board
meetings".
Sherman W'he[zm, now of Pom-
eroy, stated that he had attended
what he was told were Communist
Colttinued on l:'ange 5
missioners and the supporters of
the district had both been under
the impression that some precincts
in the county could be left out
of the proposed district.
In fact. proponents of the hos-
pital district had felt that at least
part of the North Mason area
wmdd want out of the district,
but, indrawing up the petition
wanted to give these areas a
chance to be included if they
wanted.
What wasn't taken into con-
sideration was the fact that there
arc two separate statutes, one
dealing with the formation of a
county-wide hospital district, ann
a second dealing with the forma-
tion of a district which makes up
only a part of a county or part
of two counties.
By drawing the petition on the
basis of the statute for the coun-
ty-wide district, the petition it-
self then binds the county com-
mission to submit the proposition
on a county-wide basis to the
voters, McClanahan believes.
If the county-wide district goes
before the voters as it now ap-
pears that it will, it will have
to have a,heavy vote in favor in
the rest of the county to overcome
what will almost certainly be
strong opposition and a heavy no-
vote from the North Mason area.
AND EVEN if the hospital dis-
trict should be formed, which can
be done with a majority vote, the
question of putting over a $750,000
bond issue for the construction ot
a new hospital would be even
more difficult, since this would
require a 60 percent vote in favor
to pass.
The North Mason area repre-
sentatives left. the meeting Mon-
day with the intention of seeking
some means of getting their" areas
excluded from the district, and
if this was impo~qible, to attempt
to defeat the proposal at the polls.
The six precincts which have
petitioned to be excluded have
about 20 percent of the registered
voters in the county.
But, unless McClanahan is able
to get an opinion to the contrary in
in short order, the proposition for
a codnty-wlde hospital district
now seems headed for the Nov.
election ballot.
