A. I believe that the
changes will come about
through giving the time and
effort that position of County
Commissioner demands. At
first, I would try to help solve
some of the many problems

facilities and with the state's
participation the costbe
minimal to the county.

license department of the
member of the Ritzville
Chamber of Commerce and
Ritzville Rodeo Association•
