Warden Fraser Says Conditions
Are Better Than Usual
This Year

PUYALLUP, Aug. S-Although Au-

period more than half passed, not a

yesterday in a run through the. near

has issued a large number of per-
mits to farmers and slashers who
wanted to burn forest material but
that SO far he has not been forced to

So far forest fires have done ,prac-
tically no serious damage in this
county. Mr.. Fraser attributes this re-
suit to- the general green condition OF
the timber and, the great amount OF
green tunderbrush that has been kept
fresh by the intermittent rains. From
the standpoint of safety, the county
timber Is in better condition than ii
has been in fors several years. AM
other element helping to protect tim

At various points in this valley

quantities of coal have been stored
and there will be little further oppor-

harvest along the line has begun to

railroad was caught short of coal in

County Commissioners to Receive
and Publish Figures for Year
by September

Making up of expense estimates for
the county is to be started soon by
the county commissioners, in order
to get the work done in the time re-
CURED by the law. The estimate
must be prepared on or before the
first Monday in September, and notice
given that at a meeting to be held
on the first Monday in October the
commissioners will hear all objections
to the estimates. Publication of the
estimate and notice of the hearing
must be made for two consecutive
weeks before the time of the hearing.
County Assessor b. F. McCurdy is
already ar>work preparing his figures
and says that his estimate for that
department will run about $4,000 less
than that of last year. Part of this
saving is due to the fact that real
estate is assessed only every two
years, and as the real estate assess
| ment was made this year, will not bs
repeated in 1919.
