The Oct. 12 storm pointed out the inadequacy of the present building which is crowded with equipment. The building is at the city water tank on Angles/de. The building would house city and county emergency radio trans- mission and receiving equipment and would be financed jointly. THE COMMISSIONERS also plan to contact the Public Util- ity District and the Department of Natural Resources to see if they would be interested in joining. County Engineer J. C. Bridget was asked to draw plans for the proposed building so cost estimates can be obtained. Attending the city commission meeting were County Commission- ers Harry Elmlund. John Bar/ok- man and Martin Auseth, County Civil Defense Director Harry Car- lon and County Auditor, C. Nolan Mason. Elmlund presented the county's proposal for joint construction of the building. Carlon told the two groups he thought in light of present world events, that a county civil defense plan should be prepared. He said with protection surwval was possible, but, without some plan of organization fox' making it work, it would do little good to have protection available. Mason told the commission tlmt as the person who would be the chief ration officer in the county in event of an emergency, he sup- ported fully Carlon's views on tile necessity of a civil defense plan. Bid Asked On Equipment For Co. Treasurer . Thie Mason County Commission Voted Monday to advertise for bids for a bookkeeping nlachine for the office of thc County Treasm'er. Bids will be opened at 2 p.m. Nov. 5. The commission voted to aband- on about one-half mile of county road which has been replaced by new construction. The section of road connected the road to Mason Lake with Highway 14-A. The abandonment of the road was rec- ommended by County Engineer J. C. Bridget. A representative of the Har- st/he Island Social Club appeared before the commission to suggest that the county adopt an ordinance making it necessary for utilities to get a permit before spraying along roads to kill brush. The club recently sent a petition to the PUb-and telephone company pro- testing spraying done last month. Two representatives of the Mat- lock Grange appeared to ask the county to mprove visability at the railroad crossings st Dayton and Matlock. The commission was notified by the County Treasurer that the county's share of the forest re- serve funds had been received and would be held until the commis- sion acts on the apportionment of the money. C. Nolan Mason, County Audi- tor, told. the commission he thought Harry Carlon, County Civ- il Defense Director, should be com- plemented for his alertness and observations as to what could ap- pen in an enmrgeney as the re'ult of the Oct. 12 storm.
