TEACHERS APPOINTED
Seven designations from this Years
Corps Filled-Other Applications
Considered

At the meeting of the School
Board, Saturday evening the eight
cen teachers which compose the
faculty for the Kennewick schools
were appointed for the comiug year.
It was with sincere regret that the
designations of seven of the present
staff of teachers were considered, as
their work has been up to the high
est standard of excellence and it
was the wish of the parents. pupils.
and directors of the district that
their services might be engaged for
another term. Their presence will
be missed in the school and social
life of the city, as they have won
many friends during their residence
in Kennewick. Miss Marion Merri-
men and Miss Alice Montague will
be numbered among the missing
ones, Misses Delma and Josephine
Fonner will reside in Spokane with
their mother, the delicate state of
health of Miss Luth's mother will
necessitate her presence in their
home in Mt. Vernon, Miss Tegland
will enjoy a years vacation, which
will be spent at the home OF her
parents in Genesee, Idaho, and Miss
Vance will accompany her parents
to their new home in Arizona.
The three years of good servic e
which Superintendent Lewis has
given to the Kennewick schools are
the best testimonial which could be
furnished as to his abilities fer fill
ing the position during the 1911
1912 term, and the board is to be
congratulated on their good fortune
in keeping him with us longer.
Probably no other individual has
had the best interests of the city
schools more at heart than he and
it is recognized fact that he has
been the leader in the campaign
for better school facilities.
The schools are equally fortunate
in retaining Principal H. E. Groom,
principal of the high school, Miss
Valkanje Of the Latin department,
Miss Mary Paul of the English de-
partment, and Miss James of the
Historical department. Miss Mar
garet Wetmore will again fill the
position of musical director, and the
following grade teachers have been
retained, Misses Langley, Lucille
Annis, Frances Montague, Smith,
and Gertrude Showers.
If the new high School building
is ready for occupancy by the time
school opens, it will be necessary
to add several additional instructors
to the present staff and among these
will be two specialists in domestic
science and manual training.
New teachers who will take their
places in the schools next year are
Miss Bridget Mimback, Miss Kate
Williams of Kennewick, Miss Bern.
tina Wahl of Mt. Vernon, Mis-
Alice Ashum of Waupacca, Wis.,,
Miss Marion Morgan of Appleton
Wis, and Miss Della McCumber OF
Centralia, Wash.
| All of these ladies hold excellent
recommendations and have had sew
eral years. experience in grade
work. A number of other applica
tions are in the hands of the direc
tors and after further investigation!
have been made the remaining va
cancies will be filled later in ths
year.

those assessed and the amounts of their assess ment shall be again pub. lished and the same shall become due and payable thirty days after such mo- tice. Any sperson aggrieved by such assessment may appeal therefrom as is provided by section 3S concerning highways.
 Some objection was raised to having the payments become due and payable in 30 days, as it was said that it would work . great hardship oa some of the small property owners working for daily wages to meet the payment in a lump sum. It was explained that al- though the amount became due and payable, the council had the power to extend the payment as was done when the curbing assessments were first laid.
 Alderman Hawkins brought up the matter of the change of layout on School street from Providence to Me- chanics street. He said the committee wanted instructions. Work had got to be done and there was no money with which to do 1t. He said the trolley company were moving their tracks and the work would be done within week. The track is accord ing to the plan of layout adopted by the council some two years ago. The tracks are now $ inches lower than the highway and there is a space of seven feet where the tracks formerly were full of stones and dirt. The place was dangerous and something would have to be done and done at once. He said the stone eruSher would be moved onto the lot in the vicinity and that the crushed stone could be put on the whole length of the improvement, some 1850 feet, by hauls of not over 5oo yards It could be done more cheaply now than 1t ever could again and he was in favor of building a macadamized street. He was mol pre- pared to give an estimate of the cost but said he could get it for "Wednesday night. The council adjourned 10 We'd nesday night to take up the matter.
 At the adjourned meeting Wedncs- day night, the mayor presided. Pres ent aldermen Dady, Nichols, Hawkins, Broduer, Miner.
 Voted to empower the mayor to call aSpecial a city meeting to be held in the city court room, Tuesday, July 18th at 3 a. ul., to see fl the city will appropri- ale S950 for maeadamizing School street and seoo for crushing stone.
 The bill Of Percy Blake, engineer for the water commissioners, of Sl ,4o5.e6 was ordered paid. Meeting adjourned.

 After the Fred T. Ley Company withdrew their men from the city hay ing completed the new bridge, the se- leetmen found that they had not at tended to some of the details as they agreed to. The company was to re- move all of the old wooden piers and timbers from the river. It was thought that this had been done, but when the water got low it disclosed that there were timbers on the river bottom, and that the old piers had not been remov- ed. The roadway also needed repairs. The selectmen notified the company and men were sent here to take care of the matter. Apparently everything has now been performed, but the pay ment of the last installment of the con- tract price may be withheld while longer to see that nothing further de- velops.

the United States against coming hith-

are again being received as to such
openings. and it is well to repeat the
caution. The custom of foreign firms
here is to fill all important and we'll
paid positions with persons whom
they bring out under contract so chat

month The cost of living here Is
not less than in the states and the eli
