Members of the league believe the Washington State Constitution requires reexamining state districts every five years. The state districts - in 1890 and 1910, said Mrs. Grable. The League of Women Voters have been anxious to have the district fair, she said. Men in Uniform Bruce A. Martin Bruce A. Martin, son of Mr. and Mrs. George F. Martin of Belfair, has received his first promotion in the U.S. Air Force. Martin, promoted to airman, recently completed technical training at Keesler AFB, Mississippi, and is now assigned at Ellsworth AFB, South Dakota. He serves as an administrative specialist with a unit of the Strategic Air Command. The airman is a 1970 graduate of North Mason High School and attended Olympic College in Bremerton. His wife, Kathleen, is the daughter of Mrs. R. G. Polhamus of Belfair. : (Continued from page one.) had been done, but lrrgang brushed them aside saying they weren't, adequate. Wilkens then said that the tate engineer still has to approve the well. If he doesn't approve it, the question will be referred to the department of ecology. Marley Young, county road engineer, told the audience that the development meets the road requirements, and there is nothing in the ordinances of Mason County or in the change of laws that would make the plat "null and void." Gary Chrey, the attorney for ARAB Inventors Inc., developers of the property, agreed with Young's statement. He also reiterated the county officials earlier comments that the project does not come under the shoreline act. That's because the water system does not come within 200 feet of the shoreline, he retd. ' The question before the board is the completion of the water system, he said Through the checklist that was filed it had been shown that no impact will be made on the environment, he said. : "Where the impact is, of course, is that the water system is one more step in development of the area," he said. It's up to the county to protect the people of the area, and they do that through building and health codes, he said. ; As a final point, Chrey said that Bill Herdman, who represents the investors, is a responsible real estate developer who has been in development many years. "No one can point to any development of his that has been a disaster," he said. "Developers that are successful aren't judged by how much money they make... :If the developer is irresponsible ... n0 one will buy property in the Michael K. Neyens U.S.'Air Force Staff Sergeant Michael K. Neyens, son of Mr. and Mrs. K.M. Neyens of Grapeview, has arrived for duty at Scott AFB, Illinois.

The sergeant is a graduate of Lineon High School, Tacoma. area.'" : Bill Herdman Sr. Spoke in place of his son who was actually handling the development. His son couldn't attend the meeting. One matter that had been brought up earlier, concerning eight lots that couldn't be built on, was cleared up by Herdman. Those lots, he said, would be combined with adjacent lots. He also said that the health, safety and welfare of the future owners of the lots were his primary concern, and "I'm well aware of those facts." : After some more discussion, Hershal Quattlebaum, a member of the Tri-Lakes Club, explained the pollution levels recorded at Tiger Lake. lfl the last six years, the lake has shown a dramatic increase in pollution - in 1973 the public access was closed because of the high coliform count. The source of the pollution has not been found, he said. And residents have even corrected lrainage systems without any effects on the problem. With the pollution picture as it is, it would be difficult to tell what impact the development would have on the lake, Quattlebaum said. The attorney for the developer said that the amount of water involved in the community lot is less than eight percent of the total lakefront. Also a letter from an engineer stated that Tiger Lake would not suffer from the same problems of pollution as Long Lake in Kitsap County. After some more testimony on behalf of the residents, one gentleman told the commissioners that there wasn't enough information available to issue a letter of non-significance. Commissioner Taylor said that when he first looked at the developers checklist, he had By HANNAH DEHLER 275-3512 been sunk 350 feet without water down ---"-'-----'-------------------- striking any water.

On the other hand, he said, if the developer was to withdraw his request for a water tower, the lots could still be sold. "People have the fight to build and drill wells. You'd have the same amount of people and more wells." : If the commissioners request an EIS, it would cause a four- to six-month delay on the final water tower decision, said Connolly during an interview Monday. : An EIS would cost the county $2,000 or more, and it would take about two months to write, he said. Then there would be a 4S-day review period. : In the end, the commissioners could still approve the water tower. : STEREO STOLEN Larry Campbell of North Shore reported October 30 that $1,550 in stereo equipment was stolen from his residence, according to a sheriff's report.

The wildlife agent urges everyone not to encourage raccoons to stay near, so that they may feed them. They are capable of killing a small dog without compunction, and are generally very destructive animals, he said. : Mrs. Frank DeMiero called to remind us to please contact her or any of the hard working ladies of the fire department auxiliary. She wants any names of young men and women now serving in our Armed Forces. These thoughtful women have sent packages to these young people at the holiday season, for many years, and we owe them a vote of heartfelt thanks. While she spoke on the telephone, in the background could be heard the loud objections of Sammy the parakeet. It seems that Tony, a grandson who hangs around grandma and grandpa's house a great deal, not only likes Sammy - he likes eats, too. Tony will feed the cat when grandma isn't looking - "We don't know the cat's name, as he seems to be a stray," she said. Now the cat won't leave, and sneaks in when Tony opens the door. "I feel sure you can't hear a word I'm saying," said Mrs. DeMiero, but Sammy can't stand that eat!" /lm.d Nov. 11th, 10a.m. • Arts g Crafts • • Needle Work • ' SNACK BAR oPEN Belfalr Community Bop NOIITIHI -- GENERAL AUTO 21ri.2121 mile w. of Belfair PERMS & FROSTS 15% OFF Allyn Center OPEN MONDAYS and qlo 27 ,ff/e TERIyAI+ Live Music Join the Fun Friday & Dance to The River PLENTY OF FIII Bar 2 a.m. 11 a.m. to2 a.a.
