The Mason County Planner's
Office will be conducting a census
in about one-third of Mason
County as a part of its Trident
planning, it was announced this
week.
The area to be included in the
census is that which is most likely
to be affected by the Trident
operation.
It includes the area north of
Shelton and Hammersley Inlet
and east of Highway 101 and
Hood Canal.
Information being sought will
include employment, number of
people, the number of housing
units, the income ranges of
households and the age and sex of
the residents.
The census will start about
December 1 and will take about a
week and a half, according to
Brian Shetterly, Mason County
Trident Coordinator.
The census is being done with
a state grant, Shetterly said, and is
being confined to the part of the
county identified as the Trident
Impact Area.
The planner's office is looking
for persons to take the census.
Those interested can contact the

Mason County Assessor Willis

Commission Monday he had
discussed the under-extension of
Yule fund gets
first donation
The first donation to the
annual 40 and 8 - Journal
Christmas Fund has been received
as the annual project is getting
started.
The first donation was $10
from the Madrona Auxiliary
1462, Veterans of World War I.
The joint project between the
Journal and the 40 and 8 provides
Christmas baskets for needy
families in Mason County.
The Journal handles the fund
collection efforts and the 40 and
8 packs the baskets and
distributes them.
Anyone who wants to make a
contribution to the fund can
bring it to the Journal office at
Third and Cota or mail it to the
Journal, Post Office Box 430.
the North Mason School District
levy with the Kitsap County
Assessor and they were of the
opinion that it would be illegal to
put the uncollected part of the
special levy on the 1976 tax rolls.
Burnett explained that when
the amount of the levy necessary
to raise the money approved in a
special levy vote in the North
Mason District in 1974, the
estimated assessed valuation
which was used was about $2
million too high and, that as a
result, when the levy was
extended onto the tax statements
there was about $13,000 less than
the approved amount collected.
Part of the North Mason
District is in Kitsap County,
which as a result of information
provided by the Mason County
Assessor's Office, had the lower
collections also.
Burnett told the commission
he would work out some way so
the money could be collected for
the school district. He said a
supplemental tax statement might
be the answer.
