panied by their son Elmer and daugh-
ter Kathleen, left Tuesday morning
on an auto trip to Los Angeles, their
objective point. They expect to make
a very leisurely tour thru Washing

the winter in Los Angeles. DR.. and
Mrs. Crosby, who have during their
long residence here, taken an active
part in the social and civic life of the
city, will be greatly missed. Prior
to their leaving number of very
pleasant social affairs were arranged
in their honor. Included were a mo-
hostess luncheon at Hotel Kennewick.
a luncheon at Hotel Kennewick with
covers for twelve; an evening party
with Mr.. and Mrs. L. E. johnson as

practice will save a great deal of
confusion and trouble when once es-
tablished. Assessments now due 600
in December and 40 per cent in April
will then be due 500 in May and so
per cent in November. This gives
the farmer chance to get his irri-
cation taxes out of this years crop.
But, all bonded irrigation districts
have half their bond interest coming
due January first, and the other half
July first and the new method does
not bring in money in time to meet
these payments. So the law has pro-
vided for the building up of re-
reserve fund by each district, suffic-
lent to take care of it's obligations
during the half years lapse caused by
the change, and the change was set
ahead to 1924 so that the collection
of this fund could be spread over
several years instead of throwing so
heavy burden on one year. The
change will come after the 4O9e pay
ment due in April, 1924, when there
will be no further payments until the
SO per cent due in May, 1926.
Further explanation of the opera
ton of the assessments will be given
next week.
