Lake Cushman Rd. 360-877-6881 Transit looking to expand Mason Transit is considering a proposed budget that would spend just over $6.7 million to pay for ex- panded services in 2008. Managers of the system have a plan to add another 7,000 ser- vice hours spread across fixed routes and dial-a-ride services next year. This represents an in- crease of 14 percent that would bring total service hours to 56,400. Spending would increase by 5 percent. That's according to information provided by Kathy Cook, admin- istrative services manager of the publicly funded bus system. Ma- son Transit operates 16 coaches on fixed routes, 21 smaller rigs that provide dial-a-ride service to callers who make an appointment, and 25 vanpool vehicles. The plan is to spend just over $3.8 million on salaries and benefits and just under $1.8 million on infrastruc- ture. The building plan includes spending $635,000 on a new refu- eling facility at its operations cen- ter on Johns Prairie Road. For the third year in a row, the rising cost of filling up finds the bus system spending more than projected on fuel. The board bud- geted $306,800 for fuel in 2007 but now expects to spend $377,423. Proposed for 2008 is the spending of $485,000, an amount 58 per- cent higher than what was pro- posed when the 2007 budget was approved toward the end of last year. A local sales tax is expected to provide 51 percent of next year's revenue, with state operating grants providing another 34 per- cent. The Mason County Transpor- "tation Authority Board will take public comment on the proposed spending plan at 4 p.m. on Tues- day, November 20, in the adminis- trative offices at 790 Johns Prairie Road. Board members intend to approve the budget at a meeting scheduleff for December 11 at the same location. 100 Years Ago From the November 15, 1907, Ma. son County Journal: Andrew B. Johnson, a rigging-sling- er in Simpson Camp 2, met accidental death Wednesday by being caught between two logs. He was brought to town on a special engine, but expired soon after arriving. This office has just printed a new telephone directory, which has been corrected to date and is being dis- tributed to all subscribers.
