City Removes Bumps

Bumps in front of the bank
building are not so noticeable since
the city street crew burned off the
worst hummocks last week. In adj
dition to being a job forced by
necessity, this levelling is a tenta-
tive beginning of an experiment
with street surfaces which the
CITY council has under considera-
ton, upon which action may be
taken in the spring.

Police Take Charge of
Insane Ex-Soldier

Oliver L. Austin, shell-shocked
war veteran, turned himself over
to the police here yesterday and is
now in the Pasco Jail. He suffers
from mental lapses, and in one of
these alterations he left the vet
erans' hospital in Walla Walla and
wandered here.
Feeling an attack coming on, he
walked into the police station and
gave himself up. The American Le-
gion is taking the matter up in an
effort to get Austin transferred

Collect Memberships in
international Relief Or

The thirteenth annual Red Cross
roll cell, which has been going on
all over the country during the
week, will be concentrated in Ken
newick on Friday afternoon and
Saturday morning. A crew Of Boy
Scouts and Girl Scouts will go out
under the direction of G. H. Shan
afelt, head Of the local drive.
Because the campaign here will
be confined to such a short period,
all those who would like to join
may not be approached by a solic-
itor. In this case, either stop at the
post office with your dollar or mail
il to me-" urges Shanafelt.
Through the cooperation Of the
churches, those who fail to make
their contributions before Satur-
day night may do so Sunday morn
ing. There will be someone at each
church with receipts to take final
subscriptions. Kennewick's quota
is $500, portion Of the $500
asked of the Yakima valley. Shan
afelt hopes that the quota will be
reached Saturday, feeling that
more can be accomplished in a
short, concentrated drive than in a
long one. He wanst a prompt re-
sponse on the part Of every citi-
zen.

URGES CUTTING OF
FINANCIAL KNOT
MoultOn Speaks on Solution Of
Problem at Irrigation Institute
at Ellensburg in 1880

Outlining the financial problems
of the Washington Irrigation insti-
tute at the seventeenth annual
conference at Yakima Friday, M.
M. Moulton urged an immediate
solution through a compromise law
allowing districts to dissolve or to
settle with bondholders without
dissolution. Present laws are a
barrier to agreement, he claimed.
"a solution would be law di-
viding the bond issue proportion
ately between the owners of good
land and owners of poor land, Mr..
Moulton said. "The way it is now,
both ranchers must pay the same.
This; 1 believe, is unfair to the
owner of poor land, and in many
cases causes him to leave his
tract"
Action by the institute to bring
the attention of the state legisla-
ture to the state of affairs was
asked by Moulton.
Seven resolutions were passed by
the institute: pledge to aid invol-
we'd districts, world education of
irrigations worth, appreciation of
the appointment of Tiffany by
President Hover, commendation of
the formation of an organization
patterned after the Agriculture
Credit corporation of Minneapolis
and one in honor of C. C. Gignoux
and R. p. Bean, both of whom
died recently.
Ellensburg was named as the
convention city for 1880. Officers
elected were: presiden, A. L. B.
Davis, Ellensiburg; vice president,
f. A. Norton, Grandview; second
vice president, Eugene Logan,
Spokane, directors, F. A.. Kern.
Ellensburg, and A. E. Larson of
Yakima.

BIC WAREHOUSE
SUGGESTED AS
RENT-SAVER

Determined not only to
economic but also to provide for
more convenient arrangements
in the distribution Of Govern
ment supplies, the Bureau Of En-
ficiency is in consultation with
Col. U. s. Grant, Sd, director Of
Public Buildings and Grounds, in
connection with the erection Of
a huge warehouse to be used fo-
governmental purposes.
AS matters stand now, the
Government is obliged to pay
high rents to private owners Cor
facilities for storing government
owned property and valuable
space Is taken up in Government
buildings for storage purposes,
which otherwise might be en-
ployed to better use.
The plan as submitted to Col
onel Grant Is to erect a ware
house with railroad sidings in a
convenient section of the citv in
which would be stored all ma
terial used by the Government in
the various departments and for
building purposes. This arrange
ment would save many thousands
of dollars now being paid for
rentals.
1t is also planned to purchase
material needed by the Govern
ment in the bulk thus having the
benefit of wholesale prices which
would result in saving to the
Government of large sums OF
money. This proposed storage or
warehouse would be used FOR
discarded as we'll as new furniture
and supplies used in the various
Government branches and sucn
building materials which are
constantly needed for purposes
of keeping the many Government
buildings in proper repair.
The site for the warehouse has
not yet been decided upon but
Colonel Grant expects that this
will be done in the near future.
The Washington times., 1929-12-05

Uncle Sam takes good care Of
and provides well for the many
birds and squirrels in the various
parks in Washington, according to
Col. U. S. Grant 3rd, director of
public buildings and parks.
Two thousand quarts Of raw
peanuts are purchased by the
Federal Government every year
and are distributed in the park
by members of the park police.
In addition. 800 pounds of scratch
food for birds, a part OF. which
is consumed by the squirrels, is
also distributed
The feeding Of squirrels, accord
ing to Colonel Grant. is confined
to the larger parks for the pur-
pose Of concentrating the SQuir-
rels and preventing them from
crossing the streets and endanger-
ing their lives.
Complaints have reached Col
