DRASTIC CUTS
DUEIN SCHOOL
OPERATIONS
Transportation and Text
Books to Go; Halliday
Sessions in Grades and TUT
ton in High Are Planned

No more free text books, no free
transportation, half day sessions
in the grade schools and tuition
for the high school, is the prospect
facing School District No. IL for
the coming year, according to w.
C. Hodge, local superintendent.
The 4O-mill tax limit law which
was voted last week will force
these economies upon the district,
he claimed, unless new sources Of
revenue are provided.
The city is not in such bad con-
dition as a result Of the passage
of the measure. Under the new
provisions, the city levy is limited
to Is mills and Kennewick has,
for the past several years, kept
within this limit. Retirement Of
bonded Indebtedness and interest
payments are not included within
the limit and the extra millage
which the city has levied, making
a total of a fraction over % mills,
is for this purpose.
The county, on the other hand,
will have hard time to keep with
in the ten mills which are allowed
under the new law. Most of the
functions which we now expect
from the county will have to go
by the board.
The state has a levy this year
of II mills. From this fund the
school districts derive large por-
ton of the money for operation.
This amounts to something like
$40 per pupil per year, and this
sum will be curtailed by from 80
to 80 per cent, depending upon the
method of prorating the five mills
which will become the limit as soon
as the new law takes effect.
Whittier this law becomes effect
i've for this term is yet to be de-
termined. The case will be rushed
thru the courts to get a ruling up
on it. Most officials agree that
the budgets and levies have already
been made for this years opera
tions and therefore the law cannot
be made operative until next year.
Others contend that it is unlaw-
full to collect, even this year, taxes
in excess of the 40 mills.
Unless other means of providing
finances for the school districts
are provided, Mr.. Hodges dismal
picture will become fact in the
local district. Undoubtedly such
drastic curtailments Of the states
educational system will not be per-
mitted.

District Champions Getting in
Shape for Seasons Sched-
ule; Two New Stars

Curran Chellis announces that
the Kennewick town basketball
team is now holding practice in
preparation for the 1892 season.
The team last year mounted to the
top of the ladder when they won
the, Columbia Basin championship.
Chellis said the team will be
built around four of last years
veterans, Nat Witt and Joe Brown,
forwards; Omar Lincoln, guard;
and Carl Precht, 6-foot-3 center.
The aggregation's strength has
been increased considerably by the
addition of Lowell Peter, a for
ward who made a name for him
self in high school basketball here
two years ago. Boyd Jacobs, ath-
letic director Of K. H. S., who is
to hold down job as guard, has
made a reputation for himself for
his long basket shots and lightning
speed.

Asparagus Goes to
Many Foreign Ports

That American canned aspara-
gus has the distinction of being
shipped to more foreign countries
than any other food product ex-
ported from the United States is
revealed in a survey published by
the foodstuffs division of the COM
merce department, according to a
story printed in the Pathfinder
this week. Out of total of Ill
markets for which export records
are kept, canned asparagus ship
ped from this country went to 101
in 1881. The Value of the ship
ments. in that period were $4,000
900 and reresented about one-fifth
of the canned asparagus amounted
to about 80 percent of the 1881 to-
tai. In the peak year of exports,
1929, the value of the shipments
of grass to these ports was $780,
900.

"when we opened our new store,
this being our first business ven-

hoped that we would be able to
serve well the people in this dis

by the splendid support we have
received. As q matter of fact. we
have done nearly twice the volume
we had hoped for during the past
year"

Prosser q year ago, has built up
a fine business here, has improved
his store fixtures until he has one
of the best equipped clothing stores
