proposal that the White Bluffs
Water Works take over the care and
housing of the fire equipment in town
as we'll as the collection Of the fund
for the street lights, was recommended
by the Commercial Club at It's meet
ing Sunday afternoon
The club, through committee,
sponsored the purchase of the fire
equipment by voluntary contributions
last year This apparatus has been
stored in the White Bluffs Motor Com
pany garage but it is believed it would
be better to have it housed in build
ing by itself where it could be prop
erly looked after. And as every stock
holder in the water works is a property
owner in town, the club members feel
the care Of the fire apparatus should
be transferred to the water works. The
water company is confronted with the
necessity of constructing some kind Of
building for the housing of it's tools
and equipment and it is thought that
this building could be made large
The cost of the street lights in the
past has been borne by the business
men through voluntary contributions.
Inasmuch as these lights benefit the
town as a whole, and no one individ-
ually, it was argued that the cost
should be borne by the whole town.
D. S. Wilkinson, who is secretary for
both the Commercial Club and the
Water Works, said that the cost OF
the street lights could be covered by
adding about 16 cents per month to
the bill of each water user
Both of the proposals will be up for
consideration at the annual stockhold
ers meeting Of the Water Works which
is to be held Friday evening of this
week. 1t is hoped this meeting is well
attended so that whatever is done on
the proposals will represent the major
ity opinion of the stockholders
Sam Allard reported that he had
secured the passage the day before
i through the Benton County Pomona
Grange a resolution endorsing the
north and south highway through
White Bluffs, Hanford, Richland and
Kennewick to a connection with the
North Bank road.
