1977 ByGLENDICKASON Chronicle Staff Writer The Lewis County commissioners Thursday told John Panesko of the Lewis County Bar Association, they will not be interested in funding a legal aid service for the indigent of the area. The civil legal aid service, for persons in low income brackets, would have been offered free to those meeting the income requirements, had it been approved. But the commissioners said Thursday they are not in favor of setting up a new program when they are not convinced that there is a need for it. Commissioner Harold Cooper said. "There hasn't been a soul in here to ask for this service." Commissioners Gary Ely and Robert Jacobsen said that several people have complimented them on refusing to fund a free legal aid service.

The commissioners had been offered the services of Puget Sound Legal Aid Society earlier this fall, but the Tacoma-based operation pulled out when federal authorities said they might be funding a legal aid service for Lewis County in 1978. The federal program, however, will not be funded until at least 1979. leaving Lewis County without access to that service. Panesko Thursday asked if the commissioners would consider funding a program he estimates will cost about J15.0CO a year, set up by the Lewis County a Assoc ia lion. But the commissioners said the fear of abuse and of the program ballooning into another large government service makes them cautious about funding.

After listening to the commissioners' comments. Panesko said, "The bar association bis said it is willing to set up a legal aid service, but they are not ready to spend the money to support a legal aid program in 1978." He said no other professional group in this county gives free services and "we cannot afford to provide free legal sen ices any longer." The lawyers in Lewis County have informally, in the past, given poor people free or reduced rate services, "but there's only so much we can do for free," Panesko said. He said all such cases will, from now on, be referred to the county commissioners.
