Much Travel Through
That Street to WASH
ingtOn Park

Visitors to Washington Park
owe much to Archelas Lamontagne,
owner Of the property at the south
erly end of Dixie avenue, which adj
joins the park land at the swim
ming pool. Mr. Lamontagne has
converted what was originally a
rough piece of land into beauty
spot on which he has built a neat
eight room house. In doing this
instead OF shutting Off passageway
to the park, he has left a path
through his lot for the conven-
ience of patrons Of the pool and
the park generally. All the place
needs now to make It what 1t ought
to be is an electric light, SO that
folks can see their way during the
evening.
In fact there should be at least
two or three lights on Dixie ave-
nue., and the street, which has re-
Gently been graded with sand,
should be sprinkled to keep down
the dust.

For two years, at least, it will
be legal to bet your money on horse
races in this state. The bill passed
by the legislature making this
action legal will stand, for the pc
titions which were circulated to
have the matter placed on the gem
eral election ballot lacking a suf-
ficient number of signers. Profit
from the bettings were to have
been diverted to the old age pen
sion fund. Probably the fund will
not be overburdened from this
source. On the other hand, so great
has been the number of signers to
refer the so-called Bone Power
Bill to the people the secretary
of state has passed it to the ballot.
The idea of removing still more
taxable property from the rolls is
not proving a popular one. Prob
ably there will be a reaction along
this line. Instead Of removing the
property from the tax rolls, there
will be a strong tendency to put
some which has already been de-
clared tax exempt back to paying
like the rest of US.

gone the criticism which is SO free
ly given the power company. Yet
when a public hearing was held
here last week to get the views of
the farmers who are complaining
about their irrigation rates, but
one farmer from this. immediate
district was present to give his
story. The same apathy seems to
rule in the other organizations. No
citizen ever appears at the meet

gets criticised right and left about
things over which they have no
control. The chamber Of CONNER
ce comes in for its share, yet the
complainers ever refuse to air
their troubles before that body.
The way to correct the troubles, if
any there are, is to correct them.

Kennewick is beginning to grow
a reputation for being a "soft'
town for the unemployed. The
work of the state relief committee
in furnishing work has attracted
a drove of undesirables. Correct
i've steps have already been taken,
however, in cutting down the
amount each may receive and this
is beginning to have it's effect.
The work Of cleaning up the un-
slightly spots about town, regrad-

making wonderful difference in
