LIGHT SYSTEM
OVERHAULED
Reconstruction Program of
p. p. & L. Co. Recon-
structs Whole System

The Pacific Power and Light COM
pany has entered upon reconstruc-
tion program which will take at least
three years and which will place new
and modern equipment in the entire
lighting system of Kennewick.
Altho the program as contemplated
will consume three years or more, the
work is handled by separate orders
at different intervals and divided ac-
cording to the Importance of the con-
struction. The first construction per-
iod includes the entire business. dis
trict of Kennewick. This work is in
progress at the present time under
the foremanship Of Mr.. Shinn.
Under the reconstruction program
there will be marked improvement
of appearance and efficiency. The
double poles that now stand are old
and obsolete and are treacherous for
linemen to work with. These poles will
be replaced with single forty-five foot
poles and the wiring done in the mod
ern way. New transformers will be
used giving more consistant and
higher voltage. In wiring the new
poles special attention will be cen
tered on the safety of the linemen and
better service to the public. This is
accomplished by modern "cut-out"
system which allows the workmen to
work with dead" wires and at the
same time give the public an added
efficient service.
The construction program COM
pletely overhauls the primary and
secondary system most of which is
taken from the sale of p. p. e. L.
local stock. The estimated cost of the
work to be done is $1,000.

BUSINESS GIRLS TO
REFUND MONEY
Dollar to be given Back on Presenta.
tion of Theatre Tickets to
Tanning of the Shrew"

The play "The Tanning of the
Shrew" was not shown at the Liberty
theatre last Thursday as per adver-
tisements. This was due to the fact
that wreck somewhere on the other
side of Pendleton made it impossible
for the show troop, the Moroni o.
son Players, to get here. This fact
was not known until telegram came
about six o'clock telling the girls
of the accident which made it i'm
possible for them to carry the news
to the public. Due to this fact they
did the next best thing in showing
a moving picture instead and promis-
ing the public that the money would
be refunded at later date for their
tickets.
The Business Girls wish to. an
nounce that the money for the tick
cts will be refunded upon presen-
tation at Vibber- Clifford Drug store
Friday and Saturday, February 20
and 81.

FIREMEN VISIT
LOCAL SCHOOLS
Representatives of the Fire
Department Study School
Fire Conditions

Last Friday afternoon Albert Haas
and Earl Ferrel, representatives Of
the fire department. visited the pub
lie schools and studied the conditions
there.
Fire drills were called in both
schools and the children filed out in
an excellent manner, showing no ex-
citement and the best of order. "The
fire drills in both schools were fine, -
says Haas.
First to be visited was the grade
school. The report of the department
sounds as if few things were need
ed to make our grade school safe
against fire trapping. According to
the report, children could easily be
trapped in the school if fire should
start in the engine room which would
block one passage altogether, the 9TH
er being too narrow to allow all the
children to exit with any speed. As
the building is, at the present time,
there are two exits, one in the east
and one in the west. Both stairways
are narrow and well worn. An en-
gine room fire of any size would
trap half of the children in the school
with but small chances Of escape.
There are but two one-quart, one
two-gallon fire estinguishers and a
number of canisters in the grade
building.
The committee recommends that
there be built, fire escape leading
from one of the upstairs windows to
take care of the children on the
west side of the building in
case of a quick fire in the
vicinity of the engine room, where
the fire will most likely originate.
In visiting the high school the con-
ditions were found to be better for
exit purposes. The building is equip
ped with three wide exits all of which
could be used in the ordinary fire and
if a large fire broke out in the en-
gine room sufficient to block the
east entrance the pupils could exit
in good shape through the other two.
The school contains but two two-gal-
lon extinguishers and number OF
canisters.
There is no fire hose in either build
ing. There is no need of fire escapes
in the high school, leading from the
windows.

WATER NOT YET
FIT TO DRINK
Boil All Water Used for Do
mestic Purposes Says
Health Officer

With the clearing of the water sup
ply, Kennewick people are not taking
the precautionary measures they
should with water used for domestic
purposes. DR.. C. D. Hopper, city
health officer has just received anot!,-
er report from the state board of
health which urges the boiling of all
water used for drinking purposes or
for cleansing cooking utensils, etc
And especially is this applicable to
the water furnished thru the High
lands domestic water plant. This wa
ter is absolutely unfit for domestic
use. The report shows that water TAX
en- from the high school building,
which comes from the Highlands
plant, has five hundred times as
much contamination as the maximum
allowed by the state board.
As both the Highlands domestic
water and that for the city mains
is taken from the Columbia river, it
is evident that the contamination is
acquired somewhere in the system
and every effort is being made to
locate the source that it may be re-
moved. In the meantime, the health
officer recommends that the water be
boiled until further notice from him
