Three bend issue and special
levy proposals on which Mason
County voters casL ballots Tuesday
were approved while two others
failed because of lack of sufficient
voter turnout to validate them.
The proposal by the Shelton
School District to use some $26,000
now held in a fund for the con-
struction of a swimming pool for
improvement of physical education
and athletic facilities received a
favorable vote, 960 yes to 446 no,
but, did not get the necessary
voter turnout of 40 percent of
those voting in the last general
election.
The district saw a heavier-than-
anticipated turnout of 1,440 voters
which was still more than 200
short of the 1,693 which would
have been needed.
Southside voters approved a
special levy and a bond issue, both
of which will be used to finance
a new multi-purpose building at
the district's elementary school.
The vote on the bond ismm, to
raise $47,000 for the building 124
yes and 47 no, while the vote on
the special levy which will raise
about $9,000 was 117 yes. and 49
no. The election saw 177 voters
cast their ballots, 40 more than
the 137 needed for validatT6n.
Voters in the Grapeview District
approved a $49,000 bond issue for
the district's participation in thc
new North Mason High School.
The vote was 100 yes to 38 no.
Voter turnout of 138 was well
above the 86 needed for validation.

Mason County voters in the elec-
tion Tuesday approved proposals
which will mean more money from
property taxes for the 10 school
districts and the county current
expense and road funds.
The proposals which the voters
approved authorize tax levies of
the maximum of 14 mills for
schools, eight for county current
expense and 10 for county road
districts if assessed valuations are
raised to 25 percent of full value
by the assessor.
The increase to 25 percent is
necessary to comply with the new
formula for the allocation of school
apportionment money approved by
the state legislature. The vote was
made necessary by another law
passed by the legislature which
"freezes" dollar collections from
property taxes at the 1966 level
if the assessment percentage is
raised unless voters approve of
the continued collection at the
maximum mill levy allowed under
the 40 mill limit.

county propositions needed ony a
