MUNICIPAL BOAT
BOBS UP AND DOWN
Swatted by Ordinance, Bumped
by Budget, Little Craft
Tips and Dips

The municipal boat wherein ride,
one mayor and seven councilmen tin.
ped, dipped and bobbed up and down
a bit just after the opening of the
regular council meeting Tuesday eve
nlng. The calm, blue surface of the
municipal pond had been disturbed
and the stage set for little squall by
the refusal of City Marshal C. e.
Copeland and Patrolman j. b. Hav-
don to accept the warrants which
were handed them for their January
salaries, because said warrants bore
certain numerical authorizations and
failed to look like good old sshome
cookin'" to them.
1t seems that when last wears
council got out the official pruning
shears and started in to work over
the expense budget to make it fit the
revenues, they Topped slice off the
:ity clerks salary, sheared the nav
u the city attorney and duly recorded
heir action in an ordinance. When
ne police department was reached
hey made the marshal's salary look
ike $75 instead of $50 and the patrol
mans pay $65 instead of SIS, but thew
allied to make provision for these re-
uctions by ordinance. The salaries
+ $50 and SIS were fixed by ordin-
nee while this years budget carries
reduction of SIS month in these
wo items.
SO, there you are. What's the poor
ouncil going to do? The ordinance
ays they must and the budget says
ley can't. Is it any wonder the boat
pped bit? The task of rowing the

LIBRARY NEEDS
HELP OF PUBLIC
City's Appropriation Cannot be
Continued and Institution Is
Short of Funds

Ihe question of whether or not the
kennewick Public Library is to re-
celve any financial aid from the citv
TINS year was definitely disposed of
tuesday evening when the finance
committee of the city council reported
that owing to the diminished revenues
OF the city a library appropriation is
an lmpossibility. With the aid of the
city the association last year made
the library free to everybody and q
strenuous effort will be put forth Co
continue the institution On this basis
In speaking of the library situa-
ton, Rev. w. P. Osgood, president of
the association said:
The city council being very short
OF unds, could not appropriate anv
money for the library this year.
The library is certainly an insti-
tuition that should have wide public
support. The library association has
collected over HOO books. Their use
is absolutely free to school children
and charges of but one dollar a wear
Tor cards for adults. Last year $50
children and 80 adults took books
rom the library to the number of
.ooo. This was large increase over
ne proceeding years. An offer of a
arge reduction in the rent of the IL
'rary building has been received pro-
loed the rent for the entire year be
aised by March 1st. 1t is hoped that
very friend of the library will make
ONE generous gift for its support
nd kindly send it to Mrs. E. Shana-
elt early this month.
The free reading room is open
acn wednesday and Saturday from
80 to $50 and from z to 81

City Council Adopts New Speci.
fications and Calls Another
Public Hearing
COST OF IMPROVEMENT
REDUCED ONE-THIRD
Material Now in Street to be Used in
Preparation of Base for Oiled
Wearing Surface

Ihose Second street property own
ers who protested against the inn.
provement of the three blocks from
, washington street to Pacific avenue
Will be given another opportunity to
voice their complaints at a special
meeting Of the city council Friday
evening, February 10. Plans and
speclflcations for the improvement
have been changed so that it is es-
timated that the cost will be reduced
approximately one-third.
The principal change in the spec
ifications is the elimination of the ex-
cavation of the present street surface
inches below the established grade
and refilling it with river gravel to
furnish base for the wearing surface.
Investigations of the council led To
the belief that this was a needless ex-
pense as the present surface properly
treated could be made into durable
base. The specifications as now pro-
posed call for the removal of all sur-
face material which can not be con-
verted into smooth, hard base, two
inches below established grade. This
is to be spread with three inches of
gravel or crushed rock and rolled to a
firm and even two-inch surface and
then treated with sufficient quantity
OF 50 per cent asphaltum road oil to
NIL all voids. The oil is to be applied
hot and coated with clan, sharp sand |,
which into be rolled to smooth, hard /,
surface ''.' /,
. Although no detailed specifications
have yet been prepared nor estimates
'f cost made, it is thought the inn !
provement can be kept within the I
INIT OF one dollar per front foot on 4
he abutting property. q
In order to hasten the prel;minar- q
es the council at the regular meet a
ng Tuesday evening advanced an or t
finance legalizing the improvement,
0 It's third reading. In case the coun- c
IL concludes to go ahead with the inn s.
rovement after the hearing the 18th, Il
ne ordinance can be passed at the ii
egular meeting March and the cl
'ork started soon after that. tt
New Ordinance n,
10 allow the city to do this and a.
ther Improvement work by force ac- al
punt, should the council deem it ad-
sable, ordinance No. 1872 was passed L
uesday evening. The ordinance was
assed by vote of six to one, Coun- W
Imam J. Sercombe placing himself
record opposed to it.

Olympia, Feb. 3-The water cod

or NJ. E. Hays commission in 1910
and introduced in the 1911 and 191:
Legislatures without success, probably
will be passed at this session, sub.

ion Of Representative Grant Stewart
Of Benton county. As member of
the house committee on irrigation and
arid lands, Mr.. Stewart has been
working industrially on this measure.
which although not yet formally in
troduced, is being considered by the
committee and will be introduced with
minor amendments, as a committee
measure.
Some objections have been voiced
to the portion of the code giving irri-
CATION companies right of condemna-
tion but general opinion of legislators
Is that some comprehensive act def
initely fixing the status of present
water rights and providing a compe-
tent means for their determination is
badly needed, and prospects are that
minor objections will be ironed out in
committee so that the measure can be
passed.
