Commissioner William Nelson. Port Orchard, has told the local road committee. According to Mr. Nelson- the money Is assigned to a definite type of maintenance of roads by the state, although efforts were being made to find out just what projects could be undertaken. The allotment comes from thi^ state. Another sum of »150,000 is available for community projects, according to Investigation. This money Is an unspent balance grant-ed Kitsap County from the Wash-ington State Development Board. The money actually comes from a 20 million "blank check" given Gov. Mon Wallgren by thek 1945 state legislature. Projects requiring funds from the5|150,000 must be started Im-mediately with approval being sought as quickly as possible, in-terested persons stated. Poeslbillty of cutting off the money was for-seen as the 1W7 legislature ap-proaches, they said. Although the trend Is to reduce such grants from the state, some doubt has fund would be curtailed.

According to his statement, the state fund allotted that sum to each person within a city area. The money, whtch might have been as much aa $40,- 000. could have .been used for any local project.

In-volved especially is a desired change of departure from the pres-ent ferry leaving Seattle at 4:05 o'clock. More than 75 signatures had been secured early this week, Rob-ert Jacoby, Wlnslow, one of the leaders In the movement, reported. Contacts were being mAde both on the ferry leaving Seattle at 4:05 and at 5:30 o'clock. The commuters arc asking that the 4:05 ferry be changed to 4:25 or 4:30 aa a more convenient hour. Promulgators of the proposition defend the change with the argu-ment that more people could take the later boat They also say that crowded conditions on the 5:30 o'clock ferry would be thus allevl-ated and that parking space on the Seattle dock would be consider-ably helped. * The later boat would automatic-ally call for a change from the present 6:05 boat, moving it up probably 20 minutes. This, the commuters argue, would be of great help to workers employed until ^o'clock, who now must wait ' until 7:20 before leaving for the Ialand. Black'Ball officials would make no comment on the possibilities of a change although, in conference with a committee of commuters, they agreed that action would be taken should a petition carry enough signatures to-Indicate need for the change, be presented.

Friday night's Overtake game was the~ first basketball game of the season for the local squad, and the Saturday Jamboree was a demonstration play-off for all eight members of the Olympic League. Despite the two defeats, the fact that the Balnbridge High School gymnasium was crowded to capa-city and the Jamboree at Port Townsend saw the spectators vle-lng with players for room in "the building, wan an encouraging ink-ling that they were backed by avid fans. * The Spartans met' the Overtake Wolverines on better than even terms for the first three quarters of Friday evening s play, leading the visitors all the way. The Wol-verines, led by Bundle, star center who piled up IB points before the evening was over, began to pull up on the Spartans after the half and were tied at six minutes before the end of the game. During those final minutes the score was tied many times, with Overtake final-ly gaining and holding a four-point lead. Tom Woodman led the Island squad scorers with nine points to his credit. At the all-league Jamboree the Spartans met the North Kitsap quintet In the third game of the evening. Equally fine playing by both teams held the score at a ten point tie until a few minutes before the end when the Vikings hit a scoring spree with three bas-kets. putting the game on ice. Bob Sigle's five points was high for the" Spartan players. ' Other matches In the Jamboree resulted In the following scores.

In-volved especially is a desired change of departure from the pres-ent ferry leaving Seattle at 4:05 o'clock. More than 75 signatures had been secured early this week, Rob-ert Jacoby, Wlnslow, one of the leaders In the movement, reported. Contacts were being mAde both on the ferry leaving Seattle at 4:05 and at 5:30 o'clock. The commuters arc asking that the 4:05 ferry be changed to 4:25 or 4:30 aa a more convenient hour. Promulgators of the proposition defend the change with the argu-ment that more people could take the later boat They also say that crowded conditions on the 5:30 o'clock ferry would be thus allevl-ated and that parking space on the Seattle dock would be consider-ably helped. * The later boat would automatic-ally call for a change from the present 6:05 boat, moving it up probably 20 minutes. This, the commuters argue, would be of great help to workers employed until ^o'clock, who now must wait ' until 7:20 before leaving for the Ialand. Black'Ball officials would make no comment on the possibilities of a change although, in conference with a committee of commuters, they agreed that action would be taken should a petition carry enough signatures to-Indicate need for the change, be presented. Boatmen on the ferry have Indi-cated that they believed the pos-sible change could be made with-out confusion in Seattle as docking spacc Is ope* at the time Involved. E. W.
