VOTE ON PARK BONDS
At CITY ELECTION
Special Election Will Be Combined
with Municipal Contest of Bal
lots to Save Expense

At the regular municipal election
early in December, the voters of the
city will ballot on the question of
voting bonds in the amount of 500
900 for the improvement of the two
city parks. A petition signed by 81
taxpayers was presented to the city
council, with the request that the
matter be submitted to the voters at
the time of the general election on
November 2, but the city fathers
decided to conduct the special cleo
ton in connection with the city cleo
ton, believing that the expense will
be considerably less. The bond ques-
ton will be made part of the regu-
lar city ballots. A petition to the
city council, signed by 27 citizens,
asking the appointment of special
police officer, was tabled
Ordinances vacating a part Of
Webb and True avenues and provid-
ing a fine of not more than $500 or
80 days imprisonment, or both, for
drunkenness, for having liquor in
possession, or for giving it away
were passed. These ordinances are
printed in full elsewhere in this is
sue of The Herald.
The city fathers fixed the price
for city water for the O.-W. r. & N.
company engines at this point at $25
per month, with the stipulation that
a revised rate be fixed January I,
when the exact amount of water used
by the engines will be known.

trip, and that they were hidden in
the park while arrangements were
being made to start on the journey
Harry Busby, an Indian, was ar.
rested and taken to Colfax on a
charge of stealing the automobile
after his name was found written in
the dust on the back of the car in
several places. Busby was placed in

Preliminary Budget Prepared by
City Council Calls for $3770
More Than for Present Year
Increased Valuation
viii Hold Levy Down

Provision for fire equipment cost
$4,000, a second police officer at
1880, and $500 additional for both
park and cemetery maintenance pur-
poses is made in the preliminary
budget of municipal expenses for the
year 1921, yet the total to be raised
by taxation is less than $4,000 more
than the total required for this year,
The budget, if finally approved, will
probably call for a municipal tax
levy of 26 or 81 mills, as against a
24-mill levy made last year for the
year 1920.
The total estimated expense of the
city of Pullman for the year 1921
will be $29,O35, as against an ex-
pense of $19,015 for the present
year, according to the preliminary
budget just prepared by the city
council. A public hearing on the
budget has been set for Tuesday
evening, October 5, when objections
to the budget as a whole or any part
thereof will be heard by the city
fathers previous to their official
sanction of the various items. The
biggest single item of estimated in
creased financial requirements is in
provision for a fire truck, hose and
other equipment, the cost of which
is placed at $4,000. Another $4,000
will be required to construct a new
septic tank to replace the present
tank, which has been the object of
several law suits, while $3.50 will
be required to pay the salary of an
extra policeman for next year.
The items for park and cemetery
maintenance are both increased $500
over last years figures, being placed
at $500 each, while $3.50 more will
be required for city lights than for
this year and an item of 5000 for ex-
pense of the health department is
added to the budget.
On the other hand, the item for
$4,000 for the retirement of old gen
eral fund warrants included in the
budget for the present year is omit
ted, the last of the old warrants hav-
ing been retired last month.

and the deduction of $1640, the esti-

mated receipts from yarious sources
in 1920, reduces the amount to be
raised by taxation in case the budget
is officially approved to $27,615, or
only $3770 more than last year, The
assessed valuation of the city has in
creased some $4,000 over last year S
figures and it is believed that in case
the budget as prepared is approved
by the city fathers the municipal tax
three mills more than the 24-mil
levy of last year.
The budget as prepared includes
the following salary items: treasur-
er, $500; clerk, $40; attorney,
$500; chief of police, $3.50; health
officer, $500; street commissioner,
5000; hose company, $500; engin-
eer, $1,000; extra policeman, 1880
The estimated salary total is $3.50,
as against $500 for the present
,
man was not included in last years
budget, while $3.50 is added to the
salary of the chief of police and $3.50
deducted from the estimated eX-
pense for engineers services. A
part of the salaries for the treasurer,
clerk and street and water commits
sioner are paid from the water fund,
which is self-supporting
The total for lights in the new
budget is $3992. as against $3642
for the present year, $3.50 being add
ed to the item for city hall and mis-
cellaneous lights.
The items for street work are
identical with those of last year,
$4,000 for labor and $1,000 for ma
terials and supplies.
The items for parks and cemetery
are both increased from $1,000 to
$500.
In last years budget provision was
made for only $500 for sewer pur-
poses. while $4,000 is set aside for
1921 to construct a new septic tank
The estimated expenses of the
fire department, aside from salaries,
are placed at $4,000 for 1921, while
only $3.50 was set aside for this
years fire department expenses. The
item for public printing remains the
same $3.50, while the $3.50 estimate
for election expenses is eliminated
from the present budget. The esti-
mated expense of registering voters
is reduced from $3.50 to SEQ, and
$500 is added for health department
expenses.

FALL WHEAT AVERAGES
40 BUSHELS TO ACRE
Grain Men Estimate Bumper Crop
for This Vicinity-HaiI Cut Yield
in Some Fields

That fall wheat in the Pullman vi
entity will average close to 40 bush
els per acre is the prediction of pio-
neer grain men, and this estimate Is
borne out by reports of yields from
fields which are already threshed.
Yield reports ranging from 40 to so
bushels are numerous, while no re-
ports of less than 80 bushels have
come to the attention of the grain
men. In some fields the yield was
cut materially by the hail storm sew
eral weeks ago, few farmers re-
porting yield reduction of 80 to SO
per cent because of the storm. Con-
trary to expectations, however, the
wheat lodged by the storm filled per-
fectly and will yield a good return
as pasturage for hogs
Practically all of the threshing
outfits and combines are now in the
field and the harvest is being rushed
| to completion. Much spring wheat
is still standing, however and it is
expected that the harvest will not be
completed until the first of October.
Spring wheat and oats will not yield
up to the standard of fall wheat
The first carload of new wheat to
be shipped from the warehouses was
shipped from the Busbey warehouse
Tuesday to the George Ford mill at
Bellingham. The wheat was raised
on the Ford farm, east of Pullman,
is of the red hybrid variety, and
yielded better than 35 bushels to the
acre
Glenn Maggie, east of Pullman, Sc
cured a 46-bushel yield of red hy-
brid and w. e. Benedict reports the,
same yield of white club. Thomas
McMurray, on the J. L. Metsker farm,
who previously estimated IS bushels
per acre, secured an actual yield of
49R bushels of triplet, while Fred
SOb oCSolCu a fO-Dubncl NlHfu OL
hybrid No. 1913.
The local wheat market is decided
ly unsteady and there is no selling,
although inquiries by farmers are
numerous. Wednesdays quotations
ranged from $2OS to $2.15, showing
so per cent recovery from the de-
cline of Saturday and Monday. There
are no local quotations on oats and
barley.
The threshing machine operators
are experiencing no difficulty in Sc
curing competent help, reporting a
better class of harvest hands than
since 1916. Wages range from
minimum of So to $40 and $12 for
the skilled labor, while the charge
for threshing ranges from % cents
to % cents per bushel. Warehouse
wages are 81 per day for good men.
Sacks are selling for IT cents, as
against an early season price Of 221s
cents. This decline is due largely to
the light crop in the Big Bend dis
trict, which released thousands Of
sacks for the more favored sections.

PUBLIC HEARING HELD
ON GRADE CROSSING
CITY and Railroad Officials Differ as
to Most Available Entrance to
the City Park

The hearing before the state pub
lie service commission on the pro-
posed grade crossing to give an en-
trance to the city park was held
Tuesday, with an imposing array of
attorneys and officials present. The
commission was represented by Com
missioner Frank r. Spinning, who
was accompanied by a stenographer
and Robert Burgunder of the state
attorney generals office. The O.-W
r. & n. company was represented by
Attorney Arthur Murphy, Division
Superintendent VIM. Connolly and
Assistant Chief Engineer H. J. Rob-
erts. N. L. Mcdonald, assistant dis
trict attorney at Spokane, looked af-
ter the interests of the Northern Pa
cific Railway company and Attorney
D. G. Dow handled the case for the
city.
On arrival in Pullman the party
went to the park and made an inspec-
ton of the ground, later returning to
the council chamber, where the for
NAL hearing was held.
M. K. Snyder was the first witness
called and testified as to the neces-
sity for a grade crossing in order to
secure a satisfactory entrance to the
park. He told why the present en-
trance under the O.-W. r. & n. tres
tie is unfeasible and could never be
made safe and satisfactory and, in
response to questions by Attorney
Murphy, explained why an entrance
from Spring street could not be ac-
quired without a very heavy expense.
Councilman w. c. Kruegel was
called and outlined the plans of the
council for the development and i'm
provement of the park, retailed the
trouble the city had experienced with
the O.-W. r. & N. company in keep
ing open the present entrance, told
how the railroad company had closed
the entrance, so that automobile tour
lists in the park could not get out I'M
til the city removed the distractions,
and explained why the grade cross
ing petitioned for is an absolute ne
cessity.
w. L. Greenawalt, chairman of the
chamber of commerce committee on
parks and highways, gave evidence as
to the objections to the present en-
trance, the danger of an entrance
from Spring street, and the advant-
ages of the proposed grade crossing.
H. j. Roberts was the first wit
ness for the O.-W. R. & N. company.
He enlarged on the danger of grade
crossings generally and the one pro-
posed in particular and testified that
in his opinion an entrance to the
park from Spring street could be

years, Mr.. Coady introduced himself
as the first agent the Pullman
branch of the Northern Pacific rail-
way ever had and stated that his I'M

man was a struggling hamlet of
few hundred souls. The young men
of the community would work hard
all week in anticipation of a week
