Wivell American Legion Post in Memorial Hall. The public is invited to sit in on an agenda which will award citations of merit for outstanding achievement to selected mem- bers of the city police, county sheriff's, and state patrol staffs. Ten agencies of law enforcement will be represented at the pro- gram, including, in addition to the three mentioned above, the state game department, justice, police, superior, and Skokomish Tribal courts, the city attorney, and the county prosecutor. The Law and Order program is a national project fostered by the American Legion as a mea- sure to restore public respect and support for law enforcement in the United States, an effort to reverse the alarming trend in this country today to disobey laws and resist law enforcement which has encouraged a rapid increase in the national crime rate.

Shelton-Mason Gounty Journal - Thursday, November 16, lg67 New Tahuya Post Office To Be Dedi • Tahuya's new post office will be dedicated at 1:30 p.m. Dec. 2 Postmaster Frances Huson an- notmced this week. The new facility, located at Tahuya is part of the Post Office Department's lease construction program, the local postmaster said. Under this program, invest- ment financing is used to obtain needed facilities which remain under private ownership, pay local taxes to this community, and are leased to the Federal Government. This gives the Department some flexibility in adapting its building program to changes in mail volume, transportation and population, Postmaster Huson ex- plained. At the same time, the need for large outlays of money from the Federal Treasury for New Commissioner Seated At Meeting Tuesday • Newly-elected Commissioner of Public Works Glen Watson took his seat on the Shelton City Commission Tuesday and Mayor Frank Trawls and Finance Com- missioner Dave Kneeland began new terms of office• The three were sworn in by City Clerk Alma Catto at the be- ginning of the Tuesday meeting• Mrs. Bert Sjoholm appeared at the meeting to discuss a prob- lem she has in getting water to her property from a creek on which she has a water right. She said that the creek had been running to the property for many years, and, a few years ago, the city installed a drainage line. In addition, a four-inch line was put in to provide for the @ater right which the Sjoholms have. city pay for clearing the line• City Attorney B. Franklin Hues- • ton told the commission he had looked into the problem when it was brought up previously, and, he felt that the city had pro- vided accessability to their water right to the Sjoholms, and, that the city should not be responsi- ble for getting water to the property. An appraisal of $8,907 for an easement across 12.23 acres of property asked by Bonneville Power Administration was re- ceived from Boone and Boone Real Estate, Olympia. A Bonneville representative had appeared at the commission meeting two weeks ago to ask for an easement for the installa- tion of a new power line.
