HOW TO DO 1T
Of all the lows in the Yakims

or all the lows in the Yakima
Valley, Kennewick has the
worst streets of any, with the pos
sible exception Of Sunnyside. The
surfacing on the main street was
done very cheaply at time when
road building methods had not
developed to the stage they are
today. We have had our moneys
worth from the job, however, and
it certainly is time We had some
real paving.
We all realize this fact, and
none, perhaps, quite so well as the
city council. But, and here's the
rub, how to do it? The city tax
levy is as high as the law will
permit each year and the bulk OF
that money is spent by the street
and alley committee. The city has
just about reached the limit OF
its bonded Indebtedness and we
couldn't pass substantial bono
issue if we wanted to. It's entirely
