tion of the fourth and fifth innings

Burgh, Kennewick's kid pitcher, the
game was close and the play unusual
ly good for the first game Of the sea-
son.
Local fans are confident that Burgh
will give a good account of himself
before the season is far advanced. He
was not slated to pitch Sunday as
he has not had workout this spring
and his arm was not in condition. For
three innings he pitched good ball.
In the sixth he was replaced by Yed-
lea who finishd the game in fine style.
Yedica who caught the first part of
the game, was replaced by Higley.

Allen Says No Paving will
Be Done in Benton County
This Biennium
PROGRAM CALLS
FOR 1T NEXT
Hundred Thousand to be
Spent for Construction
in Two Years

Nothing doing. This in brief is the
word which M. M. Moulton and L.
E. Johnson bring back from their con-
ference in Olympia with James Allen,
state supervisor of highways. There
is no possibility of the states under
taking any highway paving in Ben
ton county during this biennium:
According to plans outlined by Mr..
Allen to the Benton county delegation
if the legislature appropriates enough
money to carry out his program, hard
surfacing of the Inland Empire high
way thu Benton county can be under
taken during the next biennium.
In general the information CLEANED
from Mr.. Allen is the same as that
given out some time ago by District
Engineer Nook.
The state will spend on highway
construction in Benton county in the
next two years approximately $780,
900. Forty-one thousand of this will
be spent on the grade between Benton
City and Prosser, the remainder will
be used to rebuild the Fallon Bridge
across the Yakima
There will be available for expen-
diture on the Inland Empire highway
between Ellensburg and Kennewick
during The biennium a total of 81 ,261,-
600 as follows: Sal, 900, reappropriat-
ed by the legislature for expenditure
between Prosser and Benton City;
$4,000 reappropriated for expendi-
ture between Buena and Dalton in
Yakima county; $315, 200 rappropriat-
ed for Yakima canyon; $40, 900 new
appropriation to be used between
Ellensburg and Kennewick. This
makes a total of $828,000 of state
funds to which has been added $685.
600 of federal money allotted to the;
Yakima canyon road. This is for con-
struction. The eastern district is to
receive $4,000 for maintenance of
the Inland Empire, the Sunset and
the Central Washington highways and
State Road No. s (the Mabton-Gold-
endale road). ~
