Fire District Five
Asking Special Levy
Voters in the Allyn Fire
District, both the newly-annexed
area and the area which was in the
district previously, are being
asked to approve a one-year
special levy to raise $160,000 for
additional fire equipment in the
district.
The size of the district took a
substantial jump recently when
the Agate, Pickering, Spencer and
phillips Lake and Bayshore areas
were annexed to the district
which had previously covered the
Allyn, Victor, Mason-Benson
Lake and Lake Limerick areas.
The proposed special levy
would be on 1973 taxes. The
newly-annexed area will be paying
taxes to the district in 1973.
The commissioners of the fire
district stated the one-year special
levy method was chosen to save
the district the money which
would have had to be paid out in
interest if a bond issue had been
proposed.
Fire Chief Richard Knight
said the money would be used to
erect three additional substations,
buy additional fire engines, either
new or used, modernize and
purchase additional radio
equipment, purchase additional
nose and buy additional home
receivers to alert firemen to an
alarm.
Just exactly how much
money would be used for each of
the items is difficult to determine,
but, it would be used over the
next two years to attempt to
bring everyone in the district
within five miles of a recognized
fire station so they would qualify
for reduced fire insurance
premiums.
The general areas which are
proposed for the new substations,
if the special levy passes, would
be across Mason Lake from the
present substation, in the area of
• Pioneer School and in the
Yimberlakes area.
Providing trucks for each of
the substations would be the first
goal in truck purchases, with
replacement of the present trucks
at Mason Lake and Victor to
follow if enough money is
available.
The County Assessor has not
completed determination of the
assessed valuation of the new
district, but, it is estimated the
one-year special levy would be for
about eight mills to raise the
needed $160,000.
Nuclear power plants are safe

electrical energy for this country,
the Shelton Chamber of
Commerce membership meeting
was told last Thursday night by
Jack Lastrapes, a member of the
Monday Is
Veterans Day
State, federal, city and county
government offices in Mason
County will be closed Monday in
Observance of Veterans Day.
There will be no school in
schools in the county in
observance of the holiday. The
Post Office will operate on its
regular holiday mail schedule with
no city or rural delivery of mail.
Veterans Day this year has
been moved to the last Monday in
October, which this year is Oct.
The annual 1 l/l 1 Club
breakfast which celebrates
Veterans Day will be held
Monday at the Memorial Hall.
There will be a wreath laying
ceremony about 10:30 a.m. with
the breakfast scheduled for 11
a.m. There is a social hour before
the breakfast.
World War 1 Veterans will be
admitted to the breakfast free.
staff of the Washington
Department of Commerce and
Economic Development with a
specialty in nuclear energy
development.
Lastrapes said there had never
been any damage to a member of
the public in the U.S. from
nuclear energy.
People are frightened because
of the atomic bombs which were
used in Japan during World War II
and that there are many
mistatements which are repeated
in opposition to nuclear power
plants.
It will be essential if there is
to be continued growth on a
reasonable basis, he said, for
additinonal sources of producing
electrical energy.
Lastrapes commented that
there was a moritorium on
additional dams on the Snake
River and that the nation's
supplies of coal and oil for
powering electric generating
facilities would be exhausted in the
years to Come.
lie stated the heating of water
used in cooling nuclear operations
can be turned to an advantage.
One plant, he said, would result in
enough water to irrigate 100,000
acres of land at a temperature of
85 degrees. This warmed water,
he said, could also be used in
increasing fish production to add
to the world's food supply.
tie commented that a nuclear
power plant site needed 5,000
acres of land to permit a wide
fence to be built to satisfy public
demand, not necessarily because
of ally danger from the plant.

Schoening testified he had
examined the weapon when
Hadden had handed it to him and
had dry fired it a few times then
Hays looked at it and dry fired it
before it got back to tladden.
He stated he saw tladden

shirt pocket and saw Hays put the
gun in his (tlays') pants pocket.
Schoening stated after he was
struck by the bullet, Hays took
him to Mason General ttospital
where he was treated for the
wound.
He stated he was about four
to six feet from ftays when the
shot was fired and that only
about five to 10 seconds had
elapsed from the time ttays had
the gun until Hadden had
reloaded it and put it in his shirt

Hadden at the time the gun was
reloaded.
Schoening stated he did not
want Hays to lose his job over the
incident and told the Sheriff so
and that Robinson had used some
strong language to him during
their discussion.
Schoening said he received a
verbal reprimand from Robinson
for his part in the shooting
incident.
He stated he knew about the
sign which stated no guns should
be worn in the jail area, but, that
all of the deputies wore their guns
if they were only going to be in
the area for a few minutes.
Schoening said he enjoyed
working with Hays and had faith
in his judgement.
Schoening also testified to an
earlier incident in which he and
Hays had been reprimanded in
strong language by Robinson for
going to the Lilliwaup Motel
which was owned by Hays' father
to check an incident in which a
)X
man who had broken into the
business place had been shot by
the elder Hays during a struggle.
Robinson, when he took the
stand, stated he wanted all the
members of his staff to be
proficient in the use of weapons.
One of the basic rules of firearms
safety, he said, is that a person
passing a gun to someone else
inspects it before passing and that
the person receiving it inspects it
when he get it.
lie said members of the staff
had talked about weapons and did
do some dry firing in the coffee
room.
Robinson said he had read all
of the statements before he made
his decision to ask for the
resignations of the two deputies.
Referring to the incident in
which he had given Hays and
Schoening a strong verbal
reprimand about their going on
their own to investigate the
shooting incident at the Lilliwaup
Motel, he said he had assigned
Creekpaum to do the
investigation, and, that Hays and
Shoening had other duties which
they should have been taking care
of instead of conducting a
secondary investigation on their
own.
Robinson said Schoening
received a verbal reprimand on
the incident in the jail because he
was not involved in the transfer of
the weapon.
Robinson said he had no
personal dislike for Hays and that
he thod~ht" Hays would have
made a good officer and thath~, .......
was treated the same as any other
officer in the department.
Robinson said he felt Hays
action in connection with the
shooting incident in the jail
indicated irresponsibility and a
lack of maturity.

All stated as far as they knew,
Hays was a good officer and they
would have no qualms about
working with him.
Fred Hadden, the former
deputy who had put the gun in
Hays' shirt pocket stated when he
reloaded the gun ttays was
standing to the side and
somewhat in front of him.
Hadden stated he thought Hays
knew the weapon had been
re-loaded when it was put in his
pocket.

men hired out of a group of 19
who had taken the civil service
test at that time.
He first served as a jailor-radio
dispatcher, and, started as a road
deputy Jan. 1 of this year.
Hays stated his head was
turned away from Hadden while
Hadden was reloading the gun and
that he had no idea it had been
loaded when it was put in his shirt
pocket.
Hays stated he admitted he
had been negligent in the
incident, but, that he did not
think, he was as far wrong as to
get the kind of punishment he
did.
He stated he did not even
look where the gun was pointing
when he pulled the trigger and
that he knew the basic safety
rules of handling firearms.
