suit fayorably before the extension

COMMISSION GRANTS
RAILROAD CROSSING
Public Service Commission Grants
Permission to Cross DIV. II. &
\. Tracks to City Park

The state public service commits
sion has granted the city Of Pullman
permission to cross the O.-W. r. &
n. tracks to make possible an en-
trance to the city park. While the
original petition of the city, for the
right to cross both the O.-W. R. G..
~ and Northern Pacific tracks was
denied, the commission established
another crossing, farther west than
the one proposed by the city, which
makes it necessary TO cross but the
one track.
Under the agreement reached at
the time of the public hearing in
ullman the Northern Pacific com
pany viii pay one-half the cost Of
the fill necessary to make the cross
ing, While the other half of the cost
OF the fill and the expense of the
construction of the road will be
borne equally by the city and the O.
W. X. & N company.
While the crossing at the place an
proved by the city council will not
be possible under the findings of the
state commission, the crossing grant
ed viii fill the bill very nicely and
viii place the city in position to
proceed with the improvement of the
city park, which holds great posi-
bil'ties for development.

CHAMBER SHOWS BIG
NET MEMBERSHIP GAIN
Membership of Chamber of Com
merce Increased to $40 During
Past Term-Secretary
Reports

That the past SIX months term OF
the Pullman chamber of commerce
was one of the most successful in
the history of the booster organiza-
ton, with much real good accom-
plished, is indicated by the semi-an-
nLal report of Secretary E. w.
Thorpe, which was approved by the
chamber at its Tuesday session. The
report, which covers the period from
June 1, 1920, to December /, 1920,
is as follows;
The membership of the chamber
Of commerce at this time is 80.
During the past six months we have
lost IA members and have gained
80 members, leaving net gain of
rs members.
Cur luncheons, not counting the
Big Feed, have brought $693.50 into
our treasury and we have paid out
for them $775.01, which leaves a
let loss of $S1.51.
Telephone and telegraph has been
$2S.17
Stationery and stamps $44.65
Salaries, i. e. secretary and por-
ter, $4,000.
Membership in the Washington
State Chamber of Commerce and
dues, 1895.
Note on Vocational club and in
terest, $100,15.
We gave the American Legion
$4,000 to assist them in giving a
Fourth of July picnic and it was a
very decided success.
Prof. H. E. Phelps was sent as a
delegate to the meeting of the Wash
iugton Good Roads association,
which was held at Everett.
We spent $4,000 in d futile at
tempt to get new census rating.
The secretary was sent as a dele
gate to the meeting of the Washing
ton Association of Commercial Or
.ganization Secretaries at Yakima.
B. Fl. Douglas was sent to Ellens-
burg as a representative of the cham
Der to the meeting of the Washing
ton State Chamber of Commerce.
During October the Big Six COM
mittee and Col. Klemgard's aggrega-
ton put on a most successful mem
bership drive, ending up with fine
banquet where 900 members of the
chamber sat down to a bounteous
spread and later listened to an in
tensely interesting program.
During the past six months we
have assisted the college in housing
problems and have seen the compile
ton and occupation of the new Com
munity hall dormitory, which build
ing was sponsored by this organiza-
ton.
We as an organization have been
active in all civic and community
tasks and problems and have passed
through what perhaps has been the
most successful six months since our
chamber was started.
Our average daily attendance at
our Tuesday noon luncheons for the
last six months has been 81 20-27
which is, I believe, a record for a
town and an organization of this size

Dear Sir:
Since the passage of Referendum
Measure No. 2 by the people at the
election of November 2, there
has been considerable discussion
throughout the state as to the steps
which are being taken by the various
state officers to carry into immediate
effect the provisions of this act
The act provides for the issuance
of some $11, 100000 worth OF bonds.
Various legal objections have been
suggested as to the power Of the peo-
pie to authorize this indebtedness,
While it is my own personal view
that the act Ia valid, and have been
so advised by the attorney general,
nevertheless. in order to market these
Bonds, it will be necessary 10 OBTAIN
q decision of the supreme court OF
this state upon this question.
The act becomes effective upon the
proclamation OF the governor, This
prociamation can not be made until
the returns have been canvassed by
the secretary OF state. AS soon as
that canvass is had and the procla-
nation made, suit will be immedi-
ateiy Instituted in the supreme court
to test the legality Of the act. # the
decision of the supreme court is ia
vorable to the validity of the act, the
state board of finance will proceed to
issue and sell the bonds. Immedi-
ately thereafter every possible step
will be taken TO facilitate the early
payment of compensation to veterans
in the manner prescribed by the act,
In the meantime all possible prelim
mary action will be taken and ar
rangements made,
This communication Is addressed
to you for the reason it is thought
that you might deem it desirable to
transmit this information TO the yari-
Gus posts of the American Legion
throughout the state OF Washington.
Yours very truly,
G. w. CLAUSEN,
State Auditor.
