To have Walla Walla county taken
ties and placed in the seventh class
will be the first official at Of the Wal
la Walla real estate board which will
send a petition to the county commits
sioners asking the above change. Ac-
cording to the county auditor. all that
is necessary to effect the change is for
the board of commissioners TO pass
a resolution.
Walla Walla county has long ago out
grown the eleventh class, which is
determined on basis of populatio
$4,000 to 10000 population constitutes
an eleventh class county while 35,-
600 to 10000 population constitutes
a seventh class county. According to
the county auditor, this county is en-
titled to be in the seventh class on a
population basis.
Chehalis and Lewis counties are now
seventh class and on the basis of
school attendance Walla Walla coun-
ty has fror. 200 to 400 more pupils
than these two counties.
To change the county to seventh
class will mean an increase in salaries
of county officers, but this will not
affect the present officers and their
salaries will not be increased until the
government takes the census and this
will not be until after the present
terms have expired. To change the
class of the county at this time viii
not make additional taxation on the
taxpayers at this time, not until the
salaries shall have been increased but

business sections of cities are due to
unprotected openings in business

according to the speakers figures, is
not in proportion to the increase in
