Much of the debate in the morn- ing hearing involved the value and admissibility into the hearing of the tape recording made during a meeting September 16 between Mayor Earl Moore, Chief Hinton and four officers of the force at which time a heated discussion about the handling of the Case of police officer K. P. Warner. War- net had been accused by Francis Beatty of furnishing him and other minorN with intoxicants. Warner had been ordered to re- sign by Hinton. In the statements by the at- torney representing the city com- mission in bringing charges against Hinton, the events leading up to the filing of the charges were out- lined as beginning September 6, 1959 when the police received a complaint from Larry Durkin that someone had entered his home. Investigating the call, Officer Baumgart found Durkin holding Francis Beatty by gun point. Beatty was taken to the station and booked, the officers said that he was drunk and began talking about drinking with officer War- ner. The officers then questioned Beatty's sister Barbara and a younger brother and took tape re- cordings of ,their statements im- plicating Warner. i THE OFFICERS investigating the charges made by Beatty against Warner were Baumgart, Booth, Nelson, and Santamaria. They stated that they notified Hinton about what had happened and he told Warner to resign or charges would be filed against him. They said later that Hinton as- serted that he felt action against Warner had been taken too hast- ily on the basis of the type of tes- timony against him and "that Warner had been raih'oadcd." IN REPLY to attorney Hatten's version of what started the trou- ble, Frank Heuston, attorney for Paul Hinton, said that it had ac- tually begun in August of 1959 when Sgt. Santamaria complain- ed to Hinton about reports of Warner sleeping on the job and Hinor hd Instructed Santmaria to get written statements verify ing the charge and the matter could then be placed before the civil service commission. This Heuston said was never done. It was also pointed out by Heu- ston that charges against War- ner would have been difficult to prove in court due to the fact that statements made by Beatty in his condition and tape recorded would never have been made admissible as evidence in court. ANOTHER ISSUE involved that of the hiring of a convicted felon by the police department was not gone into at great detail before the lunch recess. In Heuston's statements before testimony began he said that this matter had been brought up be- fore by Bernie Bailey and that Earl Moore had said that it is a dead issue and felt that Bailey should not "persecute the man." However, Heuston continued, on October 7 Bailey met with city at- torney Hatten, Mayor Moore and the question was raised again. Hatten reportedly told Bailey that he, as a citizen, would have to make the charge. Bailey went home and wrote the letter to the city commission. ON OCTOBER 8 he met again with Moore and Hatten and was informed the contents of the let- ter did not amount to charges and Hatten suggested that a let- ter drafted by himself and writ- ten in Bailey's hand be submitted instead.

Many Groups Favor Penal Site Locally Chamber of Commerce efforts to locate a proposed new state diag- nostic and rehabilitation institu- tion near Shelton is drawing sup- port from other local organiza- tions as well as individuals. WITHIN THE past few days, resolutions backing Chamber ef- forts have been adopted by the Veterans of Foreign Wars of Ma- son County and Local 38 Inter- national Woodworkers of Amer- ica, with several others expected within the next few days after the memberships have been presented with the idea. Mason county's 24th district legislator, Roy Ritner, has taken a leading role in efforts to con- vince state officials responsible for locating the institution that one of two sites suggested by the Chamber in the Shelton area should be selected. Ritner has the backing, also, of : his fellow 24th district legislators, Representatives Paul Conner and Dr. J. h. McFadden, and Senator Gordon Sandison. Shelton is but one of a dozen communities throughout the state seeking the proposed new institu- tion, among the others being sev- eral which already have penal type institutions in their areas. The proposed diagnostic and re- habilitation institution would em- ploy a staff of 175 to 200 persons. "THE CHAMBER feels such an addition to our community would be beneficial not only from the additional payroll it would pro- vide," Chamber President Dick S(,tzliere pointed out, "but it would also tend to diversify and stabil- ize our economic base because it is a type of operation not de- pendent upon available raw ma- terials or available markets." 4-H Member, Due Awards Over 300 Mason county 4-H members will reap the benefit of work done in 1959 at their Achievement Night this Saturday, Oct. 24, at the National Guard Armory in Shelton, beginning at 8:00 p.m. THE COMMITTEE planning this is headed by Mrs. John Mac- Rae with the help of Mrs. Andy Tuson, Mrs. C.

It's About Time Nation's Cats Due Recognition From Pub& November ,I-7 By Beve Wells "National Cat Week---it's about :ime," yawned the graying tabby cat. "Yowl it's about time they (Imople) gave us a little extra credit." " 'Course I'm not complaining, I've done pretty well. In my younger days I more than caught my share of mice and moles. "IT ALL began when I was a mere kitten and abandoned in a park, 11 human years ago. A young couple picked me up, took me home and fed me on pablum and baby formula from a doll bot- tle. Ah, those were the days. I had the run of the house. They reared me like royalty, even named me 'His Highness Tinus' 'Tiny' for short. "I lived up to my name and still do, but things have changed The first big chance for me was when I was banished to the kitch- County Budget Surplus Down After closely examining the 1960 county budget this week the board of county commissioners found their surplus for the com- ing year less than first estimated. THE FIRST 1960 budget had revenues from federal forest lands included twice which caused the surplus to be greater than the a.c- tual amount. It was first esti- mated the surplus would be about $17,000 but it is only $5,038.43. The county commission ap- proved an easement for P.U.D. One at McReavy's third addition for the installation of a powerline. Christmas tree rights were giv- en to Herb Allen for timber at the Union garbage dump for a fee of $10. The commission was informed that punchboard licenses for 1960 are nearly due. The commission decided to refer the matter to tim prosecuting attorney. Soouters Goal Of $1500 for 1959 More thau thirty Mason District scouters breakfasted together Wednesday nmrning at the Shel- ton Hotel and kicked off the bus- incss division of the 1959 Scout fund drive. DIVISION CHAIRMAN, Kurt Mann, and his canvassers have as a, goal the raising of $1500, Horace Gorton, a National staff member, was the featured speaker of the breakfast. Guests of the business division were the team captains of the res- idential division under the co- chairmanship of Jack Jeffries and Jim Barrom. Included were Bill Batstone, Larry Charrier, Archie en when tim baby arrived. That was alright because as the baby grew up, she liked to pet me and carry me upside down.

"After I lost my eye a mouse had the audacity to plunk himself in OUR living room but not for long. I caught him so fast my owners didn't even ace it until I growled at the door to be let out. "I don't hear quite as well as I did but now there are more cats at our house, who also live up to their nantes, Mischief, Snoopy and Nicky (he's an imp).

The vote approving the bond issue was nearly three to one with the final count showing 328 for the bond is- sue and 110 against it. Hood Canal voters also gave their O.K. for the sale of about $30,000 worth of surplus school property by a count of 364 to 90. The state law requires school districts to get the approval of the voters before school property in excess of $20,000 can be sold. Three hundred and sixteen thousand dollars represents the limit of bonding ability by the school district and it is expected that negotiations to sell the bonds will start immediately. THE BOND issue needed the O.K. of 60 per cent of the wters but received the backing of about 74 per cent. A breakdown of voting according to the individual areas in the district showed Lower Skokomish with 51 for the issue and 11 against; Uuion, 85 for and 8 against; Middle Skokomish,' 60 for and 23 against and Hoodsport 132 for and 68 against. The vote for the sale of school surplus property when broken down showed Lower Skokomlsh with 56 for and 6 against; Union, 85 for and 8 against; Middle Sko- l<nmi.h. 63 for nd 20 ngainst and Hoodsport 140 for and 58 against. The success of the bond issue has been the result of the efforts of P.T.A. groups, the Scimol Board, District School Superintendent John Pill, County School Superin- tendent Bill Goodpaster and nu- merous private citizens. The school district presently has liabilities of about $22,000 and this will have to be deducted from the $316,000 for building purposes. According to state htw, it is necessary for 40 per cent of the voters who cast their ballots in the last general election to take part in the bond issue. In this case it meant 312 voters would have to cast ballots on the issue to insure its legality. COUNTY SCHOOL Superin- tendent Bill Goodpaster was very pleased with the outcome of the voting and said, "I think this election shows an expression of confidence by the voters of the school board and the school offic- ials. When you consider that the last presidential election drew 700 voters from this district the 438 figure looks wry good. It was a rainy day also and nany times [his will hold down the number of persons who will come out and vote."

Many Groups Favor Penal Site Locally Chamber of Commerce efforts to locate a proposed new state diag- nostic and rehabilitation institu- tion near Shelton is drawing sup- port from other local organiza- tions as well as individuals. WITHIN THE past few days, resolutions backing Chamber ef- forts have been adopted by the Veterans of Foreign Wars of Ma- son County and Local 38 Inter- national Woodworkers of Amer- ica, with several others expected within the next few days after the memberships have been presented with the idea. Mason county's 24th district legislator, Roy Ritner, has taken a leading role in efforts to con- vince state officials responsible for locating the institution that one of two sites suggested by the Chamber in the Shelton area should be selected. Ritner has the backing, also, of : his fellow 24th district legislators, Representatives Paul Conner and Dr. J. h. McFadden, and Senator Gordon Sandison. Shelton is but one of a dozen communities throughout the state seeking the proposed new institu- tion, among the others being sev- eral which already have penal type institutions in their areas. The proposed diagnostic and re- habilitation institution would em- ploy a staff of 175 to 200 persons. "THE CHAMBER feels such an addition to our community would be beneficial not only from the additional payroll it would pro- vide," Chamber President Dick S(,tzliere pointed out, "but it would also tend to diversify and stabil- ize our economic base because it is a type of operation not de- pendent upon available raw ma- terials or available markets." 4-H Member, Due Awards Over 300 Mason county 4-H members will reap the benefit of work done in 1959 at their Achievement Night this Saturday, Oct. 24, at the National Guard Armory in Shelton, beginning at 8:00 p.m. THE COMMITTEE planning this is headed by Mrs. John Mac- Rae with the help of Mrs. Andy Tuson, Mrs. C.

It's About Time Nation's Cats Due Recognition From Pub& November ,I-7 By Beve Wells "National Cat Week---it's about :ime," yawned the graying tabby cat. "Yowl it's about time they (Imople) gave us a little extra credit." " 'Course I'm not complaining, I've done pretty well. In my younger days I more than caught my share of mice and moles. "IT ALL began when I was a mere kitten and abandoned in a park, 11 human years ago. A young couple picked me up, took me home and fed me on pablum and baby formula from a doll bot- tle. Ah, those were the days. I had the run of the house. They reared me like royalty, even named me 'His Highness Tinus' 'Tiny' for short. "I lived up to my name and still do, but things have changed The first big chance for me was when I was banished to the kitch- County Budget Surplus Down After closely examining the 1960 county budget this week the board of county commissioners found their surplus for the com- ing year less than first estimated. THE FIRST 1960 budget had revenues from federal forest lands included twice which caused the surplus to be greater than the a.c- tual amount. It was first esti- mated the surplus would be about $17,000 but it is only $5,038.43. The county commission ap- proved an easement for P.U.D. One at McReavy's third addition for the installation of a powerline. Christmas tree rights were giv- en to Herb Allen for timber at the Union garbage dump for a fee of $10. The commission was informed that punchboard licenses for 1960 are nearly due. The commission decided to refer the matter to tim prosecuting attorney. Soouters Goal Of $1500 for 1959 More thau thirty Mason District scouters breakfasted together Wednesday nmrning at the Shel- ton Hotel and kicked off the bus- incss division of the 1959 Scout fund drive. DIVISION CHAIRMAN, Kurt Mann, and his canvassers have as a, goal the raising of $1500, Horace Gorton, a National staff member, was the featured speaker of the breakfast. Guests of the business division were the team captains of the res- idential division under the co- chairmanship of Jack Jeffries and Jim Barrom. Included were Bill Batstone, Larry Charrier, Archie en when tim baby arrived. That was alright because as the baby grew up, she liked to pet me and carry me upside down. The sec- ond and third changes were two more babies and me)re maulling for me. "Scratch my young mistress and master--Only once, but even then I wasn't reprimanded. Any self- respecting cat would have done the same with two little moppets pulling your head and tail. What else could I do ? "Five years age), while I still in- dulged in arguments, I lost an eye but the work of a veterinarian patched me up, minus the eye but healthy. "After I lost my eye a mouse had the audacity to plunk himself in OUR living room but not for long. I caught him so fast my owners didn't even ace it until I growled at the door to be let out. "I don't hear quite as well as I did but now there are more cats at our house, who also live up to their nantes, Mischief, Snoopy and Nicky (he's an imp). Now it's their turn to be dressed in doll clothes, sleep in a (loll bed and get wheeled in a doll stroller: "I don't even bother to run from a barking dog. Maybe I'm getting too old for that sort of thing. Anyway, I'm used to dogs, at least the two who live here.

The vote approving the bond issue was nearly three to one with the final count showing 328 for the bond is- sue and 110 against it. Hood Canal voters also gave their O.K. for the sale of about $30,000 worth of surplus school property by a count of 364 to 90. The state law requires school districts to get the approval of the voters before school property in excess of $20,000 can be sold. Three hundred and sixteen thousand dollars represents the limit of bonding ability by the school district and it is expected that negotiations to sell the bonds will start immediately. THE BOND issue needed the O.K. of 60 per cent of the wters but received the backing of about 74 per cent. A breakdown of voting according to the individual areas in the district showed Lower Skokomish with 51 for the issue and 11 against; Uuion, 85 for and 8 against; Middle Skokomish,' 60 for and 23 against and Hoodsport 132 for and 68 against. The vote for the sale of school surplus property when broken down showed Lower Skokomlsh with 56 for and 6 against; Union, 85 for and 8 against; Middle Sko- l<nmi.h. 63 for nd 20 ngainst and Hoodsport 140 for and 58 against. The success of the bond issue has been the result of the efforts of P.T.A. groups, the Scimol Board, District School Superintendent John Pill, County School Superin- tendent Bill Goodpaster and nu- merous private citizens. The school district presently has liabilities of about $22,000 and this will have to be deducted from the $316,000 for building purposes. According to state htw, it is necessary for 40 per cent of the voters who cast their ballots in the last general election to take part in the bond issue. In this case it meant 312 voters would have to cast ballots on the issue to insure its legality. COUNTY SCHOOL Superin- tendent Bill Goodpaster was very pleased with the outcome of the voting and said, "I think this election shows an expression of confidence by the voters of the school board and the school offic- ials. When you consider that the last presidential election drew 700 voters from this district the 438 figure looks wry good. It was a rainy day also and nany times [his will hold down the number of persons who will come out and vote."
