COMMITTEES TO keep
COUNTY WAR RECORDS
Clippings, Photographs and Manu-
scripts OF Historical Value to
BE Collected.

For every county in the state there
has been appointed a war history
COMMITTEES to gather newspapee clip
pings. photographs, manuscripts and
all other records which will be of
value in understanding local and ma
tional effects of the war.
The committee for Thurston coun-
ty consists of George E. Blankenship,
J. M. Hit and H. B. McElroy.
Records are deposited at the most
central and adequate public library
in each county. Although this makes
80 units for the state, each commu-
nifty retains possession of its own
records.
The national board of historical
service requested the state councils
of defense to undertake this work.
The Washington council designated
Edmond s. Meany, head of the his
tory department at the state univer-
sity, to organize 1t for Washington.
All records valuable for such pur-
poses should be sent to the local COM
mittee in order to secure complete
files and for preservation.

OLYMPIA ON CASH BASIS
after PAMNG BIG DEBT
Makes Net Gain of Nearly $50, 900 in
Two Years, State Examiner
Reports.

/ The city of Olympia now is on a
strictly cash basis for current ex-
Ilenses and has. bean for some time,
CITY Clerk w. A. Hoage stated to the
council Tuesday evening in submit
ting the report Of L. D. McArdle, ex-
aminer for the state bureau of in
spection, which shows that where
the city was $17.743.72 above its
legal debt limit in 1915, it has SO
handled its finances that it was
$42,118.72 under the limit January
l last, a net gain of $59,S62.44.
The principal reasons for the
city's saving, as cited by Examiner
McArdle, were: earnings of the mu-
nicipal water plant, repaying $13,-
900 Of the $17,743 over-indebted-
ness of 1915 which had been occa-
stoned in its purchase; the law of
the 1915 legislature requiring cities
of this size to levy s mills each year
to pay of Indebtedness, amounting
to $4,000 annually for Olympia; /;
and the careful handling of the
city's funds.
City Clerk Hoage expressed the
opinion that the record was the best
made by any city of the state during
the same period.

COUNCIL WRANGLES
OVER HIGHER WAGES
INCREASES PROPOSED FOR THE
FIREMEN CAUSE MUCH
DISCUSSION.

Though most of the councilmen
appeared to be in favor Of granting
Fire Chief Barnes and his cohorts an
increase in salary providing the city
can find way to do it, the council
Tuesday night reached no conclusion
on the question, after spending con-
siderable time talking it over.
The matter was presented to the
council by Councilman Masemore.
who suggested that Barnes salary
be raised from 500 to $50 month
and that his assistants be paid 800
a month instead of $S5. He pointed
out the necessity of fire protection
and expressed fear that the pres
ent firemen might quit If "raises"
are not forthcoming.
Then it developed that the city's
budget for the current year will not
allow for any increases and the point
was raised whether the situation Is
sufficiently of an emergency nature
to permit the city to go outside the
budget. No decision was reached,
but the councilmen generally ex-
pressed the opinion it would be bet
ter to retain the present force in the
department even If they want higher
salaries, than to try to break in new
men.

SIX MORE GO FROM
HERE NEXT MONTH
WAR DEPARTMENT CALLS ON
STATE TO FURNISH MORE
MEN FOR ARMY,

In addition to sending 26 men to
Camp Lewis Friday of next week, as
the local contingent under the April
draft calls, Thurston county is sched-
uled to send three during the period
from May to May and three more
from May 10 to Is, under additional
calls issued by Provost Marshal Cen
eral Crowder this week.
The contingents that leave during
the fore part of May will go to the
barracks at Vancouver. Wash, in
stead of to Camp Lewis. On these
calls, the third within a month, 49,
843 men will be mobilized into serv-
ice throughout the United States, in
addition to 10000 summoned the
last of this month.
1t is officially stated that more big
calls will follow during May, plans
having been completed which will
make 1t break all mobilization rec
ords for any month since the United
States entered the war. The state of
Washington will furnish 434 men on
the new CALL
In less than a month the war de.
partment has called upon the state
of Washington to furnish nearly 20
per cent-19.2 per cent to be exact
AS many more men as were in
cluded in its gross quota on the first
draft call last year. March 29 it
called for 63S men or per cent of
the number called into service last
year April 26 1896 more men, or
1875 per cent, 60 to camp, and, start
ing May 1, IL per cent go.
Contrasting this with the war de-
partment's original plan to move
about 5 per cent q month. the speed
ing-up that has been applied to the
mobilization of the country's regis
tered men in response to the appeals
of the Allies. is evident. Future
calls at this rate will complete by
midsummer the war departments
original plans to mobilize 500, 900
men this year.
Under the new policy Of the de-
partment recruits will be sent to
training camps in small units as rap
Idly as the trained fighters can be
transported to France.

WATER MAINS FOR
sL0AM'S DEBATED
COUNCIL FINALLY TELLS COM.
MITTEE TO SETTLE SERVICE
CHARGE QUESTION.

Considerable discussion of whether
to relieve the Sloan Shipyards from
$40 a month ready-to-serve charge
on its water supply resulted in q
divided vote by the city council Tues
day night and then reference Of the
question to the water committee. at
the suggestion Of Councilman Mase-
more who. after asking to be excused
from voting, said he would be salts
fed with whatever decision the COM
mittee reached.
The question arose when Council
man Draham presented the request
of officials Of the United States ship
ping board in charge of the plant.
for the extension of the city's eight
inch water main to the yard, supple
mentipg the present service, to give
added fire protection. Draham said
the shipping board is willing to pay
half the cost of the extension but OBJ
jected to paying $40 q month ready
to-serve charge in addition. and sug-
gested that as long as the govern
ment operated the plant the charge
be withheld.
Councilmar Masemore objected on
the ground that other local indus
tries have to pay a service charge
and no exception should be made of
the shipyards, Councilman Knox sup
porting this view with the further
statement that the city has always
met the shipyards more than half
way.
Councilman Draham, re-stating his
proposal, said that Chairman C. J.
Lord of the shipbuilding division Of
the State Council of Defense had
asked that the service charge be
dropped. Mayor Mills also expressed
the opinion that the charge should
be waived because the government Is
operating the ward. ss
When the question came to vote,
however, Councilmen Ramberg and
Knox voted against waving the
charge and Councilmen Forstell and
Draham In favor Of it, Masemore not
voting. Then the latter made his
suggestion to have the water COM
mittee settle it and it was adopted.
