Mead to Include Bid
For Appropriation in
Present Blu d ,g e t.;
Money Within Year
Water Charges to
Be Less than Now
To Build Power Plant
At Later Date; Sur
plus Juice to Pay the
Construction Costs

Immediate action toward put
ting the Highlands pumping plant
into shape seems assured by the
federal reclamation board, who had
their attorney in Kennewick the
last of the week to work out q
contract with the local board.
Project Manager Preston, Of
Yakima, stated that Director Mead
would make an immediate request
for an appropriation of approx
mately two hundred thousand dol
lars for the purpose Of granting
the Highlands the relief recon-
mended by the special investigat-
ing committee which met here re-
Gently to go over the project.
The work to be undertaken will
consist of replacing the present
obsolete type of pumps with more
efficient machinery, replacing and
enlarging the pipe lines and later
ais to a sufficient size to deliver
the additional fifteen hundred
acres of choice land within the dis
trict with an adequate water sup
ply. .ar. -~a5.
AS a part of the plan, the gov
eminent will take over the water
rights, dam and power canal right
of-way near Prosser and at a la
ter date will construct a power
plant at point two and a half
miles below the dam for the pur-
pose of generating electricity for
the Highlands plant, any surplus
to be sold and the proceeds to be
applied to the construction and OPP
Grafton cists.
The construction Of this plant
will enable the Highlands plant to
pump water with a power cost at
about half Of the present charge,
according to the preliminary esti-
mates by the government engi-
neers. With the completion of the
first unit of the works, the engi-
neers figure that the cost for wa
ter on the Highlands will be about
eleven dollars per acre instead Of
the fourteen they now pay, and the
quantity of water available will
be sufficient for all needs.
While there are several obsta-
cles to be overcome before the act
ual work can be started, members
of the board and others interested
are quite certain that they can
all be worked out in time to per-
NIT the work. to proceed following
the present irrigation season, SO
that the enlarged and rebuilt sys-
tenn can be in operation in time
for use next season.

Baseball Plans
Pushed Forward

Adolph Wegner was appointed
manager of Kennewick's baseball
team at a meeting last week. In
conjunction with the Fair associa-
ton, the team is putting a dia-
mond at the Fair grounds in con-
dition. The ready response Of the
business men, who have agreed to
help purchase uniforms, has en-
couraged the team.
A schedule Of games will be an
nounced in the near future, after
the four-team league has been
worked out. As soon as the dia-

will practice three nights week.

New Building Need
- ~ .~s
Of School, Hodge
Reports; Explains Why
Combination Gym,
Auditorium Will Re-
lieve Congestion of
Present Structure

That the development in the Ken
newick schools is hampered by in
adequate room and a need for
structural repair is the conclusion
of Warren C. Hodge, superintend-
ent, after an examination of the
high school building. The follow
ing is his report on conditions:
The high school building which
has already served eighteen years
is approaching the stage of needed
repair, remodeling, and added con-
struction to meet the needs of the
district. The roof covering has
passed the stage of practicability
of patching and the hall flooring
which was of poor quality when
laid, is in need of complete replace
ment. The plumbing which was al
ready Anticipated when installed
years ago, needs extensive re-
modelling in the interests of san
itation. Approximately there are
three hundred and fifty pupils
from the country bringing their
lunches who need suitable place
in which to eat, and place where
warm supplements to their lunch
may he obtained as soup, cocoa,
etc. Due to gradual growth, addi-
tional room space is also becom-
ming necessary.
It is possible to convert the up
per floor of the gymnasium into
class room space and to enlarge
to practical size some Of the
cramped rooms now in use. The
lower floor of the present gymnas-
ium could be converted into an
ideal cafeteria with very little ex-
pense.
The present gymnasium is quite
inadequate as either a gymnasium
or an auditorium. An additional
building to accommodate this phase
of school work is quite necessary
to further efficient development.
This type of structure is relatively
simple of construction where both
gymnasium and auditorium fea-
lures are combined in the same
room. The construction of such a
unit would make possible much
wider course of physical develop
ment, as well as provide place
in the school where it's theatrical
productions could be shown with
little expense. This construction
could be worked out as one unit in
a well-laid-out building develop
ment program, which could be ex-
tended in the future as the COM
munity gradually develops. The
matters mentioned will be extend
ed for general public consideration
and approval. .~.-.s

Ask Citizens to
Aid Enumeration

Kennewick in the census enumera-
ton is asked by business men and
civic organizations. Not only do we
want Kennewick to show its maxi
mum population, but we want to
secure it's true business and eco
nomic status, which will show up
on a complete census.
If, by April 10, you have not
been visited by the census worker,
notify Mrs. G. H. Shanafelt, the
post office, the Courier-Reporter,
or the Commercial club. By doing
this, you will be of help to the
enumeration and to the community.
Beginning April IL, the census
canvass will continue for two
weeks. The four counties in the
Yakima district are being covered
by 112 workers, who will make
daily reports to G. Dove McQues-
ton, director of this district.
Guesstimates on the census, COM
peting for the four prizes offered
by the Courier Reporter, have be-
gun coming in, showing that read
ers are getting out their pencils
and putting some deep thought on
the subject. The estimates for the
different districts vary consider
ably. The population of the coun-
ty is put all the way from 5000 to
10,903; Prosser, from Is to 1925;
Kennewick, from 1909 to 100;
and Richland, from 225 to 800.
Come on with your own private
opinion. Let's have some competi-
ton and computation.

have been somewhere near 90 feet!

schools. Although numerous pos
sible candidates have been men
toned for other elective offices,
asuirants for the offices have not

Keene has held an elective of
flee in the Benton county court
house for the past eight years. He

to win a match.
While a crowd of over $500
looked on, Shikat tossed Stein
born with body slam after 80
minutes in the feature attrac-
ton of the show at the Wash
ington Auditorium last night.
Up until the fall, it appeared
that Steinborn had the better
of the argument. Shikat seemed
dizzy from several spills, but this
is the former champions way
of tricking opponents into the
belief that he's exhausted.

foe and clamped him to the
canvas for the winning hold.

GIANT is CREEP
UP ON CUBS

All summer long the Chicago
Cubs were just humble, happy
family and then the Brooklyn
Robins died and willed them the
lead in the National League, and
today the poor Bruins are the
victims of much weeping, wailing
and gnashing Of teeth.
Indeed, a large percentage Of
the 10000 Chicago fans stuck
fingers in their ears and walked
out on Sheriff Blake yesterday
when the Bruin hurler initiated
a Zeppelin crossing the Siberian
steppes and allowed the Giants
so many runs they eventually
clicked out a 13-to-6 victory.
The Giants didn't do much
of anything except take ad-
vantage of errors by the
Cubs, starting the first inning
by scoring six runs, largely
on miscues and q whacking
homer by WalIie ROettger,
Giant OutfieIder.
The .McGrawless Manhattanites
are now only two games behind
Chicago, while Brooklyn is only
three and q half in the ruck,
gaining half a game yesterday
through the simple virtue Of be-
ing idle.
