THINGS AS THEY SEEM

create a new feeling of under-
standing that should eventually
clear away the doubts and give
other peoples the, same security
that we enjoy.
e
ECAUSE of population in-
creases brought on by the
development of war industries
and an influx of people who ac-
quired a liking for the State of
Washington during those times,
it may be necessary to soon re-
district the state to take care
of two additional congressmen we
will be entitled to on the basis of
population. That situation will be
hailed by people residing in coun-
ties like those of the Olympic
Peninsula and particularly Kitsap
county which has been the tail
attached to Seattle for years. An
ideal change in the state's con-
gressional division would be the
alignment of Kitsap, Mason, Jef-
ferson and Clallam counties in a
district, giving them a congress-
nmn of their own choice. Seattle
proper and Kitsap county are
joined to make up the first dis-
trict, a fact which has always
left Bremerton and Kitsap county
without much influence in select-
ing the man that would be the
national representative. In most
of the district's history, Kitsap
county had provided but a single
congressman; the job always go-
ing to Seattle. Mason county
would probably approve a change
of district that would bring to-
gether other eountie of close
relationship and mutuality of in-
terest. Any change in the congres-
sional setflp of the state of Wash-
ington can only be for the good,
and the new alignments would
:serve to give better representa-
tion to the state at large.

ASON County's expense fi-
nancing is in a very critical
condition anti unless intelligent
tiinking and action by voters anti
i.axpayers is resorted to in the
neat' futtu'e, the whole cotmty
government will be in a precari-
ous condition bordering on bank-
ruptcy. That is no cry of alarm,
but a situation based on the facts
of a study by County Treasm'er
Steve Smith. The disclosure and
lhe possible remedies for the dil-
emma as offered for public in-
terest by Treasurer Smith follow:
" Tile Mason County Current
Expense budget for 1950 indicates
that receipts will be more than
$40,000.00 less than expected in-
come. It also appears evident
that this current expense fund
through which tile county admin-
istration is financed will show a
debt of more than $60,000.00 on
December 31st. On this basis
it may be assumed that a $100,-
000.00 debt will exist before the
end of 1950. The Current Ex-
pense Fund is derived from two
sources (1) office fees and mis-
cellaneous receipts, which average
about $50,000.00 annually and (2)
the tax levy of a little less than
7 raills, which with the present
assessed valuation of approximate-
ly $11,000,000.00, adds $77,000.00.
The budgeted expenditures for
1950 are nearly $164,000.00 and
under existing conditions it seems
impracticable that they can be
reduced materially.
"The statutory debt limit which
may be ,,incurred by the county
commissmners is 1Vz% of the as-
sessed valuation. Presently this is]
approximately $165,000.00. So that
assuming that the county will face
1951 with a $100,000.00 debt in
the current expense fund and un-
less assessed values can be in-
creased by at least $4,000,000.00
with another unbalanced budget
in 1951, here are grave possibil-
ities that the statutory debt limit
will be reached and the county
government demoralized. It is of
course inconceivable that this
would be allowed to happen and
that steps will have been taken to
prevent it.
"Some help wouht be afforded
by cutting administrative costs to
the bone, but this would mean de-
priving the people of essential
public services such as law en-
forcement.
"Another means would be by
raising assessed values. One other
method which upon careful ana-
lysis appears to be to the best
interest of the people, is the au-
thorizatian of an additional 10
mill levy for one year. This would
provide $10,000.00 per million of
assessed valuation and since it
could not be effective before 1952
would just about wipe out the de-
ficit which will exist at that time.
Then with a moderate increase in
assessed valuation the county fin-
anqes should be on a sound econ-
omical basis. Failing in this the
only other alternative is to raise
assessed valuation very consider-
ably, the revenues of which only
about 25% benefit the current ex-
pense fired and 75% will go to
roads, schools, public assistance,
fire districts, port districts, etc.,
all of which ave in" a generally
satisfactory financial condition.
over long perio.ds of time. The citations were
given by Laurie Carlson, chairman, who headed
a committee of Elliott Spring, S. W. Price, Phil
Bayley and Bill Hawkins. Carlson declared that
"the Chamber is proud of Ktmbe/, Hadsell and
Huston for their continuous community services
rendered,"
