CITY SEEKS TO
COMPEL SHOW
TO OPERATE
Want Better Pictures and at
Least Five Days a Week;
State Investigates Street
Lighting Rates; to Adjust

In an attempt to force the local
movie house to run its show at
least five days week, the city
council last Tuesday night into
duced drastic license ordinance.
The council explained that the &C.
ton was the result Of numerous
complaints received concerning the
frequency of the shows-or infre-
quency, rather and the class Of
pictures.
The councils new ordinance has
full grown teeth aplenty and the
provisions are drastic. 1t was CIV
en- its first and second readings.
Inasmuch as Irving Brannon, To-
cal manager Of the houses here
and at Pasco was present, the
council went into detail in its ex-
PLANTATION of the local situation.
The councilmen explained to Me-.
Brannon that Kennewick citizens
felt that the town was being dis
eliminated against in the show
business, that apparently, DELHI
crate attempt was being made TO
transfer attendance to the Pasco
house.
They were of the opinion that IL
the same class of shows was billed
for Kennewick as shown on the
other side of the river that this
community would prove itself as
good a show town as Pasco is. Fur
Their that the advertising was di-
rected to pull the attendance TO
the other side Of the river and TO
kill it on this side with a poorer
class of pictures.
Mr.. Brannon explained his side
of the controversy. He denied that
there was any such motive on the
part Of the management and on
the contrary that he and his CONF
pany were doing everything In
their power to rebuild patronage
at the local house with the hopes
that the attendance would soon
warrant a full-time reopening.
He indicated that If the license
was raised to the figures stated
in the ordinance that his company
would be compelled to close down
entirely. He said he spoke without
definite authority, but felt that
such would be the result of the
city's action.
He pointed out that the quality
of the pictures shown here was
steadily improving.
A communication was received
by the council from the state board
Of public works asking for COM
plete data on our street lighting
system. The letter stated that the
department would soon conduct an
investigation Of the street light
ing charges being made thruout
the state and that uniform rates
would be ordered in the near fu-
ture.
Complaint made regarding the
scattering of rubbish caused the
council to dig up an old ordinance
covering the matter. The ordin-
ance, still in effect, prohibits the
accumulation of trash and makes
it compulsory to burn 1t in suitable
containers. Police regulation was
ordered.

ALL SET FOR
JULY FOURTH
CELEBRATION
Band Concerts, Races, Ball
Games, Picnic Lunches All
to Be Features Of Big Day
at City Park

Kennewick and vicinity will have
q Fourth Of July celebration in
spite of the depression.
Representatives Of the various
civic organizations met Monday
night and got the matter under
way. A full days program has been
arranged and the finances for car
rying it through have also been
secured.
So great was the enjoyment of
the recent 500, 900 picnic that it
was decided to hold the Fourth of
July celebration in similar man
ner.
The day will start with group
of races of all kinds for the gids.
A little later the White Bluffs
band, an organization of 35 pieces,
will give a short concert to be fol-
lowed by the speaking program. At
the conclusion of the patriotic adj
dress, which will be delivered by
Judge Matt Driscoll, the picnic
lunch will be served.
In the afternoon, while the ball
game is being played between the
two ancient rivals, Kennwick and
Pasco, the band will remain at the
park for a concert for the enjoy
ment of those who do not care to
attend the ball game. At about
four thirty kitty-ball tournament
will be started with teams from the
various districts competing.
At this time also will be held
the blue berry pie eating contest,
the women's nail driving contest
and the now famous "Hittin' Hub
by" stunt which proved so much
amusement last fall. Prizes will be
given for all events and the con-
tests are open to all.
A dance in the eevning, follow
ing the picnic supper will wind up
the day, which it is hoped, will be
enjoyed by the entire community
in Kennewick's very fine little
park.
Concessions of various kinds will
be for sale for the day. Anyone
who is interested in securing same
may make arrangements thru the
chairman of the committee, w. s.
Green.

FINLEY HOVER
CONSOLIDATION
VOTE UP AGAIN
School Districts to Resubmit
Proposition; Date is Set for
June 80; May Use kenne-
wick School

Resubmission of the proposition
to consolidate the Finley and Ho-
yer school districts to the voters
has been determined upon. The
election has been set for Friday Of
next week, June 80.
In the recent election Hover re-
jected the measure by AZ to SO
while Finley favored it So to z.
Proponents of the proposition de-
clare that by the consolation
school levies will be cut in half,
while opponents claim this to be
an impossibility.
AS q result Of the controversy
many Of the patrons Of the two
districts are beginning to favor
the idea of sending the high school
pupils to the Kennewick school
as neither district will be able to
maintain their standing on the ac-
credited list. With consolidation,
an accredited high school may be
maintained with substantial saw
ing to each district.
From the county and state rec
ords we learn that Finley's real
and personal valuation is $114,15.-
90, while Hover's is $54,795.00. The
railway valuation is somewhat re-
versed. Finley has only $199,803.-
90 to Hover's $364,532.00. This
seeming advantage Of Hover's is
offset, however, by the greater in
come from Finley's attendance
apportionment. The attendance in-
come for Finley for next school
year will be $9,721.22. Hover will
draw $5,789.75. Some Of these
points were not made clear to the
Hover people before the election
last month. It is believed, that with
this better understanding Of the
situation, the election will carry in
both districts this time.

MORE DOPE ON
FARMERS
RECEIVED HERE
Geo. E. SeIlick, Secretary of
the Finley Farm Loan As
ISOLATION Gets information
on New Financing

Farmers of this county will be
interested in the statement just
received by. George z. Sellick, sec
rotary of the Finley National Farm
Association, from j. A. Scotland,
agent of the Farm Loan Commits
sioner, stationed in the Federal
Land Bank of Spokane, telling how
it is expected there will be a very
substantial scale-down in the debts
of many borrowers because the
farmers getting a loan will be able
to offer cash for settlement of
debts which he might not other
wise be able to pay.
Commissioners loans are being
made to reduce and refinance the
farmers debts on a longer term
basis, to supply working capital
and to refinance foreclosed farms.
The collateral accepted is first or
second mortgages upon all or any
part of the farm property, real or
personal, including crops. OF
course, before the Commissioner
makes a second mortgage loan he
will ask the holder of the first
mortgage to waive foreclosure
rights in accordance with the
Commissioners regulations.
Loans are limited to a maximum
of $4,000 each. These loans plus
all prior mortgages or other evil
dences of indebtedness secured by
the farm property may not exceed
rs percent of the appraised value
thereof.
During the first three years the
loans are in effect, borrowers will
not be required to make payments
on the principal if they are not
otherwise in default with respect
to the conditions or covenants Of
their mortgages. The loan must be
repaid in such annual or semi-an-
nual installments as will dis
charge the debt within the agreed
period.
The Commissioners agent also
points out that these are collater-
allied and not personal loans and
that the financial condition of the
applicant as well as his history
must be considered, including, of
course, the ability Of the farmer
to repay his loan. The properties
are appraised by the Federal Land
Bank appraiser and he uses the
same general values in arriving at
the value of the property to be Of
fered as collateral. The principal
difference between the Federal
Land Bank and the Commissioners
Loan is that the land bank loan is
made only on the farm property
and cannot exceed so percent of
the normal appraised value Of the
land plus 20 percent Of the insur-
ed, permanent improvements and
whereas the Commissioners agent
may lend up to rs percent Of the
normal value and accept second
mortgages and personal property
as security.
The agent points out that for
the convenience Of the public the
secretary-treasurer of the local ma
tional farm loan association has
been appointed as correspondent
and that farmers should find it
convenient and satisfactory to
make their applications to this
correspondent rather than apply
directly to the agent stationed in
the Federal Land Bank.

tinne ranching. These districts

fered what the bonds are now
worth instead of having to take a
