Bridge Purchase
Awaits Auditing
Writes Hartley
Governor Discusses the Toll
Bridge in Letter to Com
munity Clubs; Appoint
Committee

Auditing of the accounts Of the
present owners of, the Kennewick-
Pasco toll bridge must be com.
pleted before the state purchases
the bridge, declared Gov. Roland
H. Hartley in a letter to the Pros
ser Community club in a letter
Tuesday. The agreement on the
purchase price depends upon the
audit, he said.
The letter was a reply to a res
olution recently passed by the club
and the Pasco Chamber Of Com
merce asking the immediate free
ing of the bridge.
Certainly no primary state
highway should he handicapped
by a toll bridge" the governor
wrote. "The travelling public is
paying enough for the use Of the
highways without paying toll
across rivers" A similar express
ion was also received by the To-
cal club today, and a special COM
mittee was instructed to commun-
icate with the bridge company in
an effort to speed up the work.

HoIeomb Thinks
Dens Favor Wet
Expects Declaration of
State Rights on Prohi-
bition Question

From the indications in King
county, the democratic convention
at Centralia will go on record as
favoring the removal of the pro-
hibition enforcement from the
hands of the federal government,
leaving it to each state to enforce
as it sees fit.
This is the opinion of c. L. Hol-
comb, Benton county representa-
tive to the Centralia convention,
which will be held July %. 1t is
also extremely probable, Holcomb
continued, that there will be a dee
mand for the repeal of the eigh-
teenth amendment, though the
changes for this are not as strong
as for the other.
cit seems to me-" Holcomb said,
''that the state rights declaration
may not be popular as vote get
ter-that is, it is open to suspic-
ion of sincerity, for the public may
regard it as motivated by exped-
iency rather than principle. The
Benton county delegation, as well
as those of other counties, has de-
clared itself in favor of the eigh-
teenth amendment, but with the
provision for state-by-state ref
erendum on the Volstead act.
"There is a widespread opinion
that the yolstead act went beyond
the intention of the voters, with
its arbitrary definitions. I believe
that a real prohibition can be ar
rived at more satisfactorily if a
higher alcoholic content than one
half of one percent, though not in
toxicating, were allowed, as well
as making lawful the use of al
coholic liquors for industrial, med
ical and culinary purposes"

Gas, Perhaps Oil
In Horse Heaven
Says Biologists
Burritt Gives Enthusiastic
Report After Examination
or Hills; Area One of The
Finest in Country

"Kennewick has exceedingly
good chances to become the cen.
ter of one of the largest gas-and
possibly oil-producing centers in
the country; as nearly as one car
tell from surface Indications" said
Horace r. Burritt, engineer and
geologist today, after viewing the
structures in the hills south OF
town.
while no man, geologist or not
can definitely make the assertion
that mere is or is not oil and gas,
nevertheless an expert at reading
the various signs put forth in ma
ture in her formations, can see
certain indications that make such
development likely. Without fear
of Rising my reputation, you may
quote me as saying that within a
few miles of Kennewick there are
indications for the development. Of
one of the finest areas of gas, and
possibly oil, that has come to my
acknowledgement / have visited
every important field in the Unit
ed States.
"With the structural formations
and he wells that have been sunk
in the vicinity, it is apparent that
you have every condition favorable
for the formation of vast pools.
Whether they will be confined to
gas or not can only be determined
by putting down the actual wells.
One of the most likely spots in the
entire district is that recently ac-
quired by the Shell company by
lease, out in the hills southwest OF
town."
Burritt, accompanied by his
chief, were in Kennewick today
checking up on some government
land out in the hills and were taken
over the district with view to OBJ
tanning his opinion on the pros
poets for development of the sec
ton.
