Should Eliminate all Poor
Land when Developing
Great New Projects
COMMUNITY CLUB is
HOST FOR BOARD
Commissioner Says Yakima
is One of Two Outstand-
ing Irrigation Projects

While advocating some form of
state aid in reclamation development
in this state, M. M. Moulton of Ken
newick, member of the board Of sur
vey and adjustment now in the val
ley, at a meeting Of the Prosser
Community club Tuesday night said
he did not think great bodies of land
should be opened up without all poor
land first being entirely eliminated
from consideration, says the Yakima
Republic. He advocated a policy un-
der which the state would grant aid
only where every acre to be taken
in is certain to give satisfactory re-
turns to the average farmer.
Mr.. Moulton said the estimate Of
the value Of the land should be made
on the basis of what the average
farmer could do with it and not what
an exceptional grower could accom-
plish. He urged every citizen to take
an interest in reclamation because
of its great Importance in this state.
About 100 persons attended the
meeting which was called in honor Of
the reclamation board. The other
members, T. e. Campbell of Arizona
and F. M. Goodwin of Spokane, were
also speakers. E. r. Wells, president
of the club presided.
Gov Campbell said that after trip
over the entire Yakima project he
was still convinced it should be held
up as one Of the two outstanding ir-
rigation projects in the country, the
other being the Salt river, in his own
state. He declared that in lecturing
about the country on reclamation he
always used the Yakima and Salt
river projects as examples of what
government reclamation could do. No
one should become discouraged or
think this form of agricultural de-
velopment is not success just be-
cause there are years in which the
waterusers get behind in payments.
Mr.. Goodwin also spoke, stressing
the Importance Of agricultural de-
velopment in the state to eventually
replace the lumber industry as the
leading business Of the state.

INSURANCE RATES
TAKE DECREASE
Twenty Per Cent Cut is Given Mer-
camille Houses and Contents
in Fire Limits


Insurance rates in the fire limits
in Kennewick will be reduced twenty
per cent after the first of the coming
month, according to word received by
Gascoigne & Fyfe this week. The
reduction has been made by several
of the leading insurance companies
in the favored cities of the state ow-
ing to the fact that fire control fea-
lures have greatly improved in the
past few years and their cost of do
ing business has been reduced. The
saving is thus returned to the in
surance purchaser.
The deviation is to take effect only
as of June 1, and will not affect pol
icies in force prior to that date.

STATE ID AWARD
 ROAD AID FUNDS
Southington Gets S7,500;; Berlin
 and PlainYiIle $lO,OO

Hartford, Oct l2.--Details Of the state highway departmental plan to distribute approximately $529'ooo for state-aid road purposes to Varl- ous towns fin Connecticut were made public today. By the transfer ot more than half-million dollars from the gasoline tax receipts ot the state government, it will be possible for these towns to participate in so- called state-aid funds to apply on the cost of roads already built by the towns in anticipation of tnanclaf assistance from the state,
 In number of cases the tndebt- edness of towns dates back seven and eight years, or throughout four appropriation periods. The result was that the highway department was besieged with requests to aid these towns to overcome the indebt- edness and it was powerless to re- lieye conditions as sufficient funds were not available.
 To Relieve Towns Burdens
 Commissioner John A, Macdonald outlined the situation to the board of control at its last meeting and on recommendation of Governor Trum- bull, the transfer of funds was de- cided upon in order that the flnan- cia burden of the towns involved might be reduced.
 It was announced at the highway department that as further funds are made available by the gas tax receipts, the department from tim Z to time. aS ifs budget will permit. proposes 10 apply for other transfers for state aid improvements. Many of the remaining towns in the state are seeking funds 10 carry out their road programs and 1t is hoped to give these requests attention at fu- ture date.
 The towns which will benefit inn mediately by the transfer are divid- ed into two groups. Those under "0nticipate1' and the towns which have operated under the unfinished interyal' law. The sum of $959.2G0 was authorized transferred to the anticipated state aid" appropria- ton for distribution 10 2a towns. In .thc second group are SC towns. but seven of these arc also in the

 Towns in the first class will re- ceive a payment of the $500 or s. 750 maximum permitted under state aid allotments in accordance with their grand lists. The statutes per init towns to ent3r into state aid agreements with the highway de partment under which roads are built, the state agreeing to refund the statutory proportionate' cost of the work from future appropriations. Towns with grand lists of less than S1,"50, 00O are reimbursed for snNen- eights of the cost of the work, while those whose grand lists arg above that figure pay for one~qnartor of the improvement
 Southington Gets $500
