THE DAILY Hospital section to be studied PORT TOWNSEND Jefferson County Board of Commissioners have signed a contract with an Olympia firm to do a feasibility study on whether the county should purchase the four-story portion of St. John Hospital for a multi-service facility or construct a new facility. The firm of Bennett, Johnson, Selenes and Smith will include costs of renovating the existing structure to meet the housing needs of several county agencies, including public assistance, mental health care, Council on Alcoholism, juvenile probation and Olympic Health District. Under terms of the contract, the firm will also prepare applications for Washington Futures funds and design and supervise which ever alternative is selected by the commissioners. Port Townsend MAXINE Quilcene bond to be discussed QUILCENE A bond proposal for the renovation of the old Quilcene High School building will be discussed at two public meetings at 8 p.m.

Monday in the Quilcene High School library and at 8 p.m. Nov. 25 in Brinnon School. At the last meeting of the Quilcene School Board of Directors, architect Norman Aehle explained the renovation plans for the old high school building, noting the construction of a new high school would be twice the cost of remodeling the old building. The remodeled facility would last as long or longer than a new school building, according to Aehle.

Board members were told the wiring, plumbing and heating must be updated to meet state Codes of the Health Department, Fire Marshal's Office and Electrical Inspector. If the items are not updated, there is probable cause to condemn the building, according to Aehle. Bonds which financed the gymnasium and library-classroom building are now being redeemed and would be paid in full before the proposed bonds for the remodeling go into effect, according to one school board member. There would not be an increase in taxes, only a continuation of the present bond redemption millage. A tentative schedule adopted by the school board calls for the board to submit the bond proposal to the county auditor by Dec.

2 for the proposition to go to the voters Jan. 21. The purpose of the public meetings is to hear public ideas to assist the board in deciding on the submission of the proposed bond issue. Under the tentative schedule, work on the building would be completed March 8, 1976, provided the voters approve the bond issue.
