The third posi- tion up for vote on the board had no candidate fried. The position is now held by Ken Chapman.

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.

Voters in the city of l Shelton did not vote on the road district levy proposal since the road district levy is not collected in the city. The 14-mill levy proposal for the schools was approved by vot- ers in all of the 10 school districts in the county by good majorities.

Two Shelton High School juniors have been selected as applicants for a year oi study abroad under the sponsorship of the Amertcan Field Se~w~ce through its Ameri- cans Abroad program. Selected by a committee from the local AFS chapter were James Biehl and Bruce Wilson. Both are j~m~s at Shelton .High. Application for the program does not mea~::~!~at a student"will be able to go abi'oad. There are always many more U.S. applicants than there are available foreign families for the students to live with. LAST YEAR, the local AFS chapter submitted four applicants~ of which only one became a semi- finalist, but, was no[ able to be placed abroad because of a lack of families. The Americans Abroad is the re- verse of the program under which the local AFS chapter sponsors a foreign student here to attend Shelton High School for a year. This year's foreign student is Marlo Lodi, an Italian boy who is living with the Olavi Aho faro. ily in Shelton. The committee which~ s¢iected the two Americans Abroad appli- cants was headed by Guy Beck- with.

Oily Gels Cost Of Water Une Job The Shelton City Commission Tuesday received a report the cost of replacing the water main under Goldsborough Creek at 12th St. The work was done several weeks ago. City Supervisor Pat Byrne, in a report to the commission, said the final cost of the job was $3,644.76. Fire Chief Allan Nevitt reported that the No. 1 pumper at the fire hall ,had been out of service for five hours this week during re- pairs. He said that the commis- sion should be thinldng strongly of replacing the fire trucks since their ages made them subject te a lot of mechamcal trouble.

Final phases of Simpson Timber Cmnpany's $300,000 air improve- merit program in Shelton will gel: underway tomorrow, Oliver Ash- ford, power plant manager, an- nounced today. The work is ahead of schedule and will be finished by Christmas- time. It includes installation of two cinder collectors and complet- ing a hug'e fuel bin. Each cinder collector will serve three boilers. Friday three boilers will be shut down for two weeks to install the collector. 'I'i]e otlwr three boilers will be shill: down Nov. :19 for two weeks for installing their cinder collector. Meeting "Because it is necessary ~o l¢cep the power plant running and be- cause three boilers will be carrying the load from Nov. 5-19, it is like- ly that the cinder fallout will be !severe fox" that two week period," Ashford said. "However, we ex- pect the cinder fallout will be greatly reGueed after Nov. 19 when the first three boilers are turned on with the cinder collectors in- stalled." TIlE FUEL BIN, which will be one of the largest on the West C(,a:~!, is 80 feel in diameler and 66 feet tall with a 24 foot cyclone on top of it.
