CITY STREET, PROJECTS NEAR COMPLETION
OFFICER M'HARD
 UP ON CHARGES
Was Prepared to Answer One Yesterday But An-
 other Was Presented
HEARINGS POSTPONED

The trial of Patrolman Frank McHard, which was scheduled to feature a meeting yesterday after noon of the board of police com rnissloners, was postponed until next Monday. In addition to the charge of drinking while on duty, as preferred by Captain Frank R. Cutting through Superintendent Joseph H. Mclean, McHard now faces a more serious complaint.
 McHard was prepared to submit his answer to the drinking charges yesterday when a new angle devel- oped, causing postponement un- til next week to permit him time to reply to the following letter sent to the board by William O'Connor of Riverside street.
 "I bring charges of conduct un- becoming an officer against Patrol man William McHard on the ground that he came to our home as a friend of my mother-in-law and all the time he came he was working to get my wife away from me because he has steady job and I am only working for the un- employed.
 "He told her what he could give her and what could not and while all this was going on l was treating him as friend until l came home from work one night and she was gone away with him. I couldn't find them that night but the next morning l found them at his cottage at Lake Zoar. wouldnt press charges thinking 1t was all over but he came after her agaln and took her to Ohio where I had to go to get her.
 "Now as a group of gentlemen and public servants I think you will do right by this case as have a baby. to protect and do not think this man a fit one to do public duty" e,
 (signed) William o'Connor."
 The affidavit was witnessed by Mrs. Harriett o'Connor and was sworn to before Notary Public Martin Dunn. A communication was received from Commander Morris Shapiro of Corporal Frank Coyle Post, American Legion, requesting that A detail of patrolmen be sent 10 the American Legion state conven- ton in New London on Saturday, August 26th. The platoon of pa- troimen and one of firemen VIII lead the Waterbury division. which will include the local posts drum corps, legionnaires, Disabled Vet erans, Yankee Division and mem hers of Wheeled-Young Post, Vet- erans of Foreign Wars.
 A protest was filed with the com by residents of the Mid dlebury road over autoists speed ing along the highway and the un- necessary use of auto horns late at night. .. .a,. , Owing to the absence of some of the members of the board or fire commissioner the scheduled meeting was postponed. The only business slated was a request or Donate Covielfo for the instal:ation of a Are alarm box on Walnut street extension and a request sim. liar to the one sent to the ponce board, asking that a detail or nre' men be authorized for the Amerl- can Legion parade in New London on Saturday, August 26th.

 Bait for Fisherman

Boise, Idaho, (UP) - Joseph Jenkens, Boise fisherman, has perfected a novedl plan to carry his fish bait into remote spots of lakes.
 Experimenting on Lakc Howell, Jenkens attached line to a one- foot toy sail boat. The small craft carried tba line far out into the lake.
 "When the fish takes the bait" Jenkens explained, "all I have to do is reel him in."
 Jenkens confessed he has yet to catch a fish in this manner but insists his sytem Is practical.

Four Boxes of Perfect Speci-
mems to Form Part of This
States Exhibit in ChicagO's

Of asparagus in the past hundred
years.

asparagus grown and packed in
Kennewick. The shipment will be
a part of the states exhibit which

perfect stalks, selected from the

ton of perfect asparagus.

Calyx Spray Should
Be On By May Eighth

The calyx spray should be COM
pleted in most orchards in this
district by May s to be on before
the calyx cups close, says Harry
A. Linn, horticultural inspector.
This spray should be followed by
the first cover spray to be COM
pleted within 10 days after the app
plication of the calyx spray. Two
pounds Of lead arsenate to the 100
gallons Of water for the calyx
spray and pounds to the 100 gall
Ions for the first cover spray is
recommended. First moths were
caught in Benton county April 26.
First brood control should be
stressed this season more than
ever to eliminate the necessity Of
late July sprays which complicate
problems at packing time.

PASSING BILLS

FOR CITY DADS
rovr TO Be Without a Day
Policeman; Citizens Owe
Huge Sum in Back Taxes;
Mayor Brags on Cherries

possine the usual grist Of
nortbly bills for the city proved
, - b. too undressing Tuesday
r !, and but three of the coun,
eiImen were present. This approval
a hills when there is no money
nth which to pay them has be-
come a monotonous and depressing
rsstime to the councilmen
perhaps its for that reason that
nono of them have aldermanic pro-
nortions. Every one of the cltys
representatives is skinny lnclud-
inc the mayor-with the possible
exception of /. S. Gleason, and ne
hasn't served long enough yes to
have it get him down.
While waiting for the others to
show up Tuesday night, Mayor Al
fred Anon brought up several
items which were being considered.
The lack of appointment of a dep
uty sheriff for this end of the
county will put Bert Moores back
on the night job and the town will
be without day officer for the
time being.
With the everincreasing burden
Of debt caused by nonpayment of
taxes, the additional demands be-
ing made for the care of indigents,
the council is faced with an almost
hopeless task of preparing the
budget for next year. A check Of
the city's books recently shows
that over $4,000 in city taxes are
delinquent. Interest of the OUT
standing warrants is increasing
the amount and still greater cur
tailments are in prospect for the
coming year.
Not all the "off the record" talk
Tuesday night was depressing,
however. The mayor reported that
cherry prospects in the Garden
Tracts were better than normal.
BE reported, for instance, that his
neighbor, Oden Staley, expects to
harvest at least ten tons of cher
res from his two-acre trace and
that the mayors own home place
would produce at about the same
rate.
A rainstorm in which the then
younger city attorney nearly
drowned while sitting out the rain
storm in buggy, was mentioned,
while the mayor recalled that he
once saw some ducks drown in a
rain storm, while couple of 9TH
ers recall seeing some post holes
sticking up two feet in the air fol-
lowing a windstorm here last sum-
mer,
The meeting was adjourned un-
a they could all get together

PETITION FOR
REFERENDUM
ON POWER BILL
Taxpayers Relief Committee
is Against Removal of Prop
erty from Tax Rolls; OBJ
ject to Further Extensions

Referendum petitions for repeal
Of the so-called Bone Power Bill,
passed by the Legislature, over
protests of the press Of the state
reflecting public opinion in the
home communities of all counties
outside King and Pierce, are now
in the hands of taxpayers. "
This referendum is being under
taken by the Taxpayers Relief
committee with headquarters in
Everett. Secretary Joseph H. Smith
says the number of signatures re-
quired is at least 10000 and PEI
titions must be back in hands Of
the Taxpayers Relief committee
by May 81, in order that they may
be checked for filing.
County organizations are now
being formed and the first to be
formed is in Lewis county, under
direction of j. T. Alexander,
well-known farmer residing near
Chehalis, who is also a member
of the state executive committee.
1t is interesting to note that
headquarters of this movement TO
prevent Seattle and Tacoma from
shifting still more of their inor-
dinately high taxes to the rest Of
the state, is in Snohomish county.
Snohomish, Skagit and Whatcom
counties have suffered particular
ly because of Seattle's municipal
power plant going into those coun-
ties and taking large amounts Of
property off the tax rolls. The
same thing happened in Mason
county when Tacoma's municipal
ly-owned power plant took so
much property off Mason county
tax rolls that the schools were SER
iously crippled in that county.
Taxpayers Relief committee is
a non-political organization, hav-
ing for its purpose the protection
of property owners all over the
state from unreasonably high tax
alton. Their first work is to get
the Bone Power bill repealed by
vote of the people, so that taxes in
all parts of the state will not be-
come still higher.
