S. Ar- my Engineers, Seattle office, Ac- companying him were county commissioners and about 25 resi- dents in the district. TURBULENT TONS of water streaming down the valley each year into Hood Canal wash out etch farm soil, eat into the banks and devour pasture and crop 'lands along the river's rims. Objective of the survey Friday was to determine whether or not there was justification for the federal government to supply flood control funds under the pro- visions of existing emergency leg- islation. DAMAGE TO structm.es along the river's edges was surveyed, but the farmers emphasized the more complete and irreparable damage done through erosion of the good earth. Arthur'L. Ward, county engin- eer, recalled that about eight years ago the federal government had conducted an extensive sur- vey of the valley but that applica- tion for funds with which to launch conservation projects had been turned down. In recent months Congressman Russell Mack revived the move which led to the survey Friday. SURVEYED WAS the area along the river from the bridge on Olympic Highway upstream three miles. "We hope to have a flood- con- trol plan worked out by next summer," said Engineer Ward, "but we don't know about the money." oow..o00,.IAdditi0 no, oo.

Bids for construction are sched- uled to be opened November 1. A total of $20,341.25 was pro- vided in the budget for 1949 for the addition, and this amount was carried into the 1950 budget where $25,000 is provided for its con- struction. The addition will provide for increased space in the firemen's quarters, and the police depart- mcnt will have a strcct-lcvcl en- trance. 01d Union School Remodeling Begun Remodeling of the old Union school interior to serve as a com- munion center has bone started by volunteers working under direc- tion of Ed Norling "Union school director. The old building, erected in the 1890'$, served as Union's fountain of learning until the new school was opened last year. Hammer and crowbar experts working with Norllng have torn out old partitions preliminary to building a stage and installing a kitchen and rest rooms. The work is being sponsored jointly by the Union school board, the commun- ity improvement club and tlc wonlea's club. Lud Andersen, well-known Union baritone, has volunteered to render some of the better-known classics at the first program in the com- munity hall.

That's the statement of Presi- dent Rudy Wet'berger, who for the sixth year, consecutively has been elected lea(l of the Mason County Forest Festival Association.

Officers include Harold Lakeburg, vice president, and Joe Hansen, tzeasurer. The ecretary has not been named.

County commissioners held an initial budget hearing Monday and are continuing t h e meetings through this week, while the City of Shelton and P.U.D. 3 approved their budgets by Tuesday. ABOUT TEN interested persons attended the city's budget hear- ing Monday. Keynoting the dis- eussion were Charle.s P uncres and Winston Scott who expresed belief that the tax rate could be lowered without putting the city's finances in the red. The city's share of the taxes collated amounts to 15 mills. Commissioners said that because Shelton has had increases in size and augmented demands on the existing facilities tim redtmtip in the levy was not 'feasib{e'." ..........

Total valuation for P.U.D. 3 comes to $1,299,849.87 compared to the valuation set for I)ecem- ber of 1943, $458,000, During the past six years the dollar growth of the utility has amounted to $771,849.87, the number of users jumped from 2,550 to 4,700, and tim kilowatt hours sold increased from 6,042,942 to 17,859,497.
