that the court can say as matter OF
law they acted in bad faith or failed

it will be seen that the board of county

the acceptance of the bid of the sue

Commissioners Clements and. McNeill

submitted do not under all the cir

claim Of fraud, or that the price for
which the bonds were contracted to
be sold, considering the fluctuating
condition of the bond market and the
other existing conditions surround
ing this transaction, is so high as to
raise the imputation Of bad faith, or
failure to exercise an honest discre-
tion and judgment"

NIGHT BLAZE DESTROYS
MRS. ANDREWS DWELLING
With Stairway Mass of Flames Three
Boys Escape Thru Second
Story Window

The home of Mrs. Minnie A. And
rews in Stanton's addition, was totally
destroyed by fire about midnight last
Friday night. The fire department
answered the alarm, but because of
the long run and the great distance
from fire hydrant no water was
turned on the fire. In fact the flames
had gained such headway before dis
covery that the three sons of Mrs.
Andrews who were asleep upstairs
were forced to escape thru second
story window. The building and con-
tents were completely destroyed.
1t is thought the fire originated
from a defective chimney or an over
heated stove. 1t was cold night and
before retiring the boys had built a
heavy fire to prevent water pipes
from freezing. Mrs. Andrews carried
insurance on both building and furni-
ture and the loss has been adjusted
thru the Office of Trenbath & Tweedt.

Kennewick's old council wound up
their little ball of yarn Tuesday night,
said goodbye to the cushions in the
chairs and turned the affairs of city
government over to their successors.

ing, however, as three Of the council
men held over and two succeeded them
selves as did City Clerk Mrs. Soth,
City Attorney f. r. Jeffrey, and City
Treasurer ]. L. johnson. Mayor Geo.

S. Brogunier and Second Ward Coun-
Gilman F. f. Beste are brand new per-
formers as no one of the three has
before held city office. The retiring
councilmen are HI. A. Bier and F. j..
Arnold.
In leaving the mayors chair l.. e.
johnson thanked the members Of the
council for their hearty cooperation
during his term of Office and express
ed the hope that those who went out
of office would continue to take an
active interest in the, city's affairs.
The city's officials, he said, were often
handicapped because Of the indiffer-
ence of the public.
AS soon as Mayor Sherk had taken
his oath of office and had administer
G. TIE 18th to the other incoming Of
ficers, he immediateffyS- effS- got down to
business by announcing the following

each. In order that the town might
be better policed at night he recon-
mended that the chiefs hours be from
6 p. m. until a. m. and the deputy
from IL p. m. until 9 am. In sug
gesting these hours the mayor ex
planned that there seemed to be bu
little need of a policeman on duty dur
ing the daytime and that the stree
commissioner would be invested wit
police powers so he could act shoul,
emergencies require it.
Chief Copeland interposed an OBJ
lection to the proposed hours, sayin,
that unless some more satisfactor,
schedule be agreed upon he would de
cline the appointment. Deputy Hay

sioners let the contract for build
ing a court house to the Ferro

The price of $l07, ,67s.00 bid by

; tract was let in disregard of

FIRE INSURANCE
RATES JUMPED UP
State Surveying and Rating Bu-
reau Boosts Rates eBcause
of Bad Fire Record

Because of the poor fire record dur
ing the five-year period between 1910
and 1916, mercantile insurance rates
in Kennewick have been boosted up
several points by the Washington Sur
veying and Rating bureau. Notice OF
the new rates were received this week
by Trenbath & Tweedt and are effec-
tive from Dec. 23rd, 1916, altho no ex-
isting policies will be affected.
The increases are from 10 to 100
per cent and in many instances the adj
ditional premiums runs into rather
big dollars. Trenbath & Tweedt ex-
press the belief that the new high
rates will not long continue because
of the fact that the last years of the
half decade show a much better re-
cord than the first half. During the
first years of the period the J. E. Tull
loss of $4,000, the Bellows loss of
between $500 and $4,000 and the
three frame hotel fires were written
,...s.S, ..S -s...:S ~ ;a.c.sard:
The rate increase is geneva. -t .-htr,,nut
the Yakima valley from Pasco to
North Yakima and some of the towns
Jared even worse than Kennewick.
The new dwelling rate instead of
being increased, is reduced, the reduc-
ton amounting to about Is cents per
hundred and lesser charge for ex-
posures. While the mercantile dis
trict was rolling up a poor record the
residence sections were making good
with the underwriters. There have
been but few dwelling fires and there
has never been loss from an expos
ure, as no two buildings have ever
burned at the same time.
1t is rather significant fact that
defective electrical wiring is assigned
by the bureau as one reason for the
increased rates. In the down town
district there is hardly building that
is given clean rating on this score
Even the buildings where the wiring
is in conduit have received defective
marks. " ~ -. -.-5a
