BELLOWS GETS
WAREHOUSE SITE
Will Take the First Chance to Put
up Building Confident
Of City's Future

J. A. Bellows wants all the ware
house business that F. J. Arnold
can spare. He has purchased a fine
site from R. Stanton, and now de-
sires to erect warehoure.
The site consists of nearly three
acres and is advantageously located
for railroad facilities, being within
the triangle formed by the three
railroads, just east of town. Direct
access can be had with each road.
The deal was concluded this week,
Mr.. Stanton taking for his property
a fine farm near Olympia and other
considerations, amounting to some
eight thousand dollars.
Mr.. Bellows is certain that Ken
newick will become the greatest
distributing center in the Inland
Empire within a very short time,
and has made arrangements to get
in on the ground floor in the ware.
house line. While no definite ar
rangements have yet been made,
Mr.. Bellows stated that he certainly
would erect suitable buildings for
warehouse purposes just as soon as
there was business enough in sight
to warrant the expenditure.
The encouragement from the var
ious wholesale houses that has been
given the warehouse that is now
nearing completion. gives evidence
that the outside business men real
ize the importance of having sup
ply base at this point. One ware
house will not be able to handle
the volume of business that is sure
to come. Mr.. Bellows is preparing
for the overflow.
So firm believer am I in the
future of this place." said Mr.. Bel
lows yesterday, THAT l am dispos-
ing of the bulk of my holdings in
different parts of the state and am
purchasing Kennewick land for in
vestment. The time is almost here
for a big influx OF people to this ter
ritory, and l think that the men
who hold their property until that
time will reap the big benefits."

City COULD USE
MORE MONEY
E,t;mate Of General Expense Will
Require Pruning to Bring 1t
Within Income

The city council would like very
much to have the currency system
made more elastic or some sort OF
money invented which might be
stretched to meet existing conditions.
Ir this they are very like the rest
Of US, differing only in the feature
that they have to wrestle only once
yearly with the problem of making
both ends meet, while the average
individual is up against it once
every thirty days.
The city clerk presented his esti-
mate of general expense for the
coming year at a special meeting
last Friday night. The estimate
calls for s17 $50, which is about
$1,000 more than the 1912 expenses
will be. The principal increase is
in the item of street improvement,
$500 additional will go to the fire
department next year to provide an
adequate alarm system, and the
irrigation department is also figured
to cost more to operate.
Just how much the estimate will
have to be pruned will depend upon
what the city's assessed valuation
totals. The valuation will be be-
tween 5000, 900 and 81 900, 900, but
the exact figures will not be known
until the assessors figures are
passed upon by the state board of
equalization. Figuring on the basis
Of $500, 900 the revenue from tax
alton for the coming year will be
$1,000 at the maximum levy of 10
mills. An additional revenue Of
5000 from saloon and other
licenses brings the total to $14. 900,
so it is evident that about $4,000
must be clipped from the expense
account when the council meets
next month to fix the levy.
Five mills additional will very
likely be levied to care for the 81 $50
interest on sewer bonds and take up
$3.50 of the Indebtedness. This
will bring the total levy to Is mills.
Or the same as 1t is at the present
time.
The detaile'i expense estimate is
published in full elsewhere in this
issue.
