Performance, too. proves Chevrolet
the Great American Value

Notice Chevrolet Six in traffic. Watch
it step out ahead when the light turns
green-reach higher and higher speeds
without noisy effort-swing smartly in
and around other cars-and disappear
in the distance. Better still, drive a
Chevrolet Six yourself. See what easy
work it makes of hills-sand rOads-Or
any difficult task.
This big, modern Six is a fine performer.
1t does high road speeds at low, easy
working engine speed. Its valve-in-
head engine develops so horsepower.
Six cylinders enable you to creep along,
accelerate, climb hills, 60 fast-and do
it all smoothly, quietly-with little
shifting of gears. Owners, too, will tell
you that all this power and speed and
ability have been secured without
affecting ChevrOlet's well-known
economy.
If you have formed your opinion of
Chevrolet quality solely from the cars
fine appearance-step into Chevrolet
and drive. Because performance, too,
points to Chevrolet as the Great
american Value.

Children had to be very discrim-
mating to detect that the perfect
ly repaired and reprinted toys
were not new that were distribut-
ed by The relief committee. The
work was done by E. G. Anderson's
troop of Boy Scouts. The boys CO.
operated with the Al club girls
and the relief committee in col
lecting and repairing and the dis
tribution of a large number OF
games, books and toys to children
who otherwise might not have been
remembered.
The repair work was done by
the boys while the girls dressed
dolls and filled candy sacks. Near
ly 100 toys were repaired and sent
out along with 20 sacks of candy
The merchants of the city helped
generously and the work was done
under the direction of Mrs. Mary
Davis, county club leader.

A tank used for generating gas

part into the roof and busting out

standing with his back not two
feet from the tank when it blew
up. Why he wasn't killed is anoth-

TOUGH TIMES
In EAST STILL
Kiwanian Tells of Trip
Thru Eastern Marts;
Break Seen Soon

The worst is yet to come is the
opinion of George Tillbury, vice
president Of the Church Grape
Juice company, who has just re-
turned from a trip to the east il
the interests of his firm. That
there will be a turning point with
in the next six months is predict
ed by the men with whom he had
contact in the East. 1t may be that
the turn will be downward, in
which case the present depression
twill look like Mt. Everest" he
says. In his private opinion, how
ever, he thinks the turn will be up
ward, according to talk he made
Tuesday noon at the regular meet
ing of the Kiwanis club.
That commodity prices are now
low and going lower is the impress
sion he gathered on his trip. Mems
clothes, for instance, selling fol
six and seven dollars a suit, and
indications of still further cuts.
The bright spot in the whole sit.
uation seems to lie in the fact that
brokers, wholesalers and retailers
alike are all reducing their stocks
to the lowest possible points. This
would indicate that once the up.
swing has definitely started the
accelleration will be rapid in al
lines, causing a return to the busy
years just passed.
The Kiwanis club is planning q
special program next Tuesday
evening when installation of the
new officers will take place. The
ladies will be invited for this oc-
casion.

WATER RATES
ON HIGHLANDS
TO BE SAME
Additional Water to be De-
livered to Users; Domestic
Sytem to be Repaired; New
Manager Hired

Water charges for the Highlands
will be the same this year as last,
according to an announcement
made today by the board Of direc-
tors. Because of the fact that it
will be impossible to use the pow
er from the new plant at Prosser,
and also because Of the fact that
much of the, as yet, unimproved
land will not be able to take the
water, the charges will not be re-
duced this year to the Sill figure
as given out by the department
previously.
The additional water required
for the land already under the
system will be furnished at this
figure, however, as the added eff
ficiency Of the new pumps and the
larger pipe line will enable the
district to furnish the larger
quantity without additional cost.
The domestic water system will
be taken over by the district this
year and managed under the one
head. Owing to the depleted con-
dition Of the system an increase
will be made in the rates for do
mestic water.
E. j. Brand has been engaged
as manager for the Highlands
project. Mr.. Brand has been in
charge Of the Benton City unit,
known as the Sunnyside district,
for the past ten years, being sent
there by the federal reclamation
department for the purpose of re-
organizing the district affairs.
This he has done in a highly sat-
isfactory manner, the distribution
system being entirely rebuilt dur
ing his administration and the en-
tire system has been put back into
an efficient operating condition.
Because of his excellent work at
Benton City the local directors feel
the district is indeed fortunate in
being able to secure the services
Of Mr.. Brand at this time. He will
move here in the early part Of
next month, at which time he will
take over his new duties.

Tentative plans for two ware
house buildings to be erected near
the fair grounds were made at q
joint meeting Tuesday night of the
fair board and the newly elected
board Of port commissioners. The
plans call for two frame buildings

fair association, which will carry
the insurance and pay nominal de-
probation upon the property.

buildings will permit the fair as

CAN'TTRANSFER
DISTRICT COIN
G on Int y Commissioners
Authority Limited by
Legislature

Olympia (UP)-Three questions
regarding the right of commits.
sioners of drainage districts were
answered this week by assistant
attorney general, John Hurspoo,
in letter to prosecutor Charles L
Powell of Kennewick.
Hurspool held that money in
drainage district maintenance
funds, though not now needed
cannot be transferred to the "bond
fund.-" It can be used to pay in
terest on district bonds however
he said.
Powell asked if county commits
sioners when required to make a
levy for any assessment were au-
thorized to accept the equalization
made by the directors and levy an
assessment in accordance with ra-
tios found when no levy Of any
assessment has been made and di-
rectors may not make any.
eff no assessment roll has been
prepared, commissioners were to
prepare it, and if no equalization
of the rolls was made, they were
to equalize it, otherwise not, but
their sole duty would be to make
the levy" Hurspool said.
In answer to PowelPs question
that because action was brought
to have certain taxes declared
void because assessments were ex-
cessive, if the county commissions
ers could compromise with the as
sessed, Hurspool said:
"The legislature alone has au-
thority to determine how or when
taxes shall be compromised, re-
leased or RENTED and the county
commissioners have no powers or
discretion in regard thereto"
