FROST DAMAGE
UNDETERMINED
New Hort. Inspector Sees Par
tial Fruit Crop; Heating Helps
Save Many Cherries

G. A. Nagley, deputy horticultural
inspector for the Kennewick district,
states that it is hard to determine ct
this time the extent Of the damage
done by the recent frosts and freeze.
Some of he orchards showed damage
Of 80 percent and others as high as
20 percent, where they had not been
smudged. He seemed to be Of the
opinion that it would take some time
to determine the extent Of the dam
age, but where smudge pots were used
the damage is thot to be very slight.
The coolest was Saturday morning
when the thermometer registered %
above, and on Monday morning went
down to 25 above soon after one o.
clock, but did not remain long at that
temperature.
Mr.. Nagley was recently trans
ferred from Kettle Falls, where he
had been inspector in the Spokane dis
trict for the past four years, and has
been in the service for seven years
with three of them at Wenatchee. He
has had actual fruit raising and farm
ing experience, and he states he is
much pleased with the Kennewick dis
trict and find his work interesting and
diversified.
His family, which consists Of q
wife and three children, two sons in
high school and daughter in the eighth
grade, are still at Kettle Falls, but he
plans to move them here as soon as
he can find desirable house or place.
Mr.. Nagley takes the vacancy caused
by the resignation of H. A. Linn, who
was inspector in the district for a
number Of years.

ATHLETIC FIELD,
SCHOOL REPAIRS
COST BUT'LITTLE
District Pays Small Fraction of
Expenses on Building, While
Field Improvement Is Done at
No Cost

A splendid athletic field at no cost
to the school district and $1,000 re-
pair job to the high school building
are part of the advantages this dis
trict has gained as result of the fed
eral aid this winter.
The playfield, large enough to
house a quarter-mile cinder track, a
football field and baseball diamond
as well as room for tennis courts,
jumping jits, eac., has been leveled
and fenced, the irrigation plant in
stalled and the field has been seeded.
The concrete curbing for the cinder
track is being laid and row of fast
growing trees has been set out on the
west side of the park.
This improvement has not cost the
school district cent. Prof. E. S.
Black pointed out this week. The to-
tai cost to the people Of this section
was some two hundred dollars which
was raised by the student body, the
school district having not been called
upon for q penny for the improve
ment.
Mr.. Black reported that the entire
labor costs for the school repair work
had been paid by the CWA and that
he received word yesterday that ma
terial bills had also been allowed. The
total cost of the improvements within
the building were in the neighborhood
of $1,000.
The repair work consisted Of re-
flooring the entire building, replacing
some of the underpining and some inn
provements in the halls, etc. This
work was accomplished under the re-
lief program and the district has
paid but a small fraction of the total
costs.

One of the main objects of the as

of the new season viii be to obtain a
community center.
I'VE have noticed" said President
Gorrel, that other such centers
throughout Washington have been Or

Reorganixing the Government
Of the District Of Columbia.

OA klC OAoSIAGb Va NOAunUAas
n TANY ways have been sug-
.lN gested for changing the
form Of the local govern
ment of the District. To do this
Congress has almost unlimited
power. OF course there is 1imita-
ton on the powers which Con-
greSs may delegate to the District
Commissioners or any local body.
Congress has no power to grant to
District residents voting represen-
tation in Congress and the vote for
President and Vice President, but
these are matters of recognition
as national Americans and are
not involved in the question of
local government.
There are critics Of the trium-
virate commission government we
have now who advocate the sub
stitution of city manager. Some
suggest city manager and a city
council clothed with power to ap-
point the city manager and to
enact municipal ordinances. City
council plans provide for both ap-
pointive and elective councils. BY
some plans members of the city
council would be elected at large
and in others they would be elected
by and to represent different sec
tions of the District.
Some suggest city manager and
the three Commissioners city
manager as the single executive
head and the Commissioners to en-
act ordinances and pass on the Sc
lection Of heads of departments.
Some want three civilian Commits
sioners appointed as at present
and some would like them elected.
Some would want the Commission
ers subject to recall by vote of
the people if their services are not
satisfactory to a majority of the
qualified voters and there is even a
difference Of opinion regarding the
power of the recall. Some say it
should be mandatory on the Pres
ident and others that it should be
only advisory.
Then there is the question of the
several citizen boards. In some
quarters it is proposed that these
boards-Board of Education, Board
Of Library Trustees, Board of Pub
lie Welfare and Board of Indeter-
inmate Sentence and Parole-be
abolished or that they be stripped
of most Of their powers and the
authority be transferred to depart
ment heads under the District
Commissioners. Proposals to do
away with some of these boards
have been made in the past, but
failed because Of vigorous citizen
opposition. All these boards, with
the exception of the School Board,
are appointed by the Commission
ers and that by the justices of the
Supreme Court Of the District Of
Columbia Some advocate election
of the School Board by the people
and some would transfer the ap-
pointive power to the Commis-
sioners.
The above Is merely bird's-eye
view Of some Of the confused and
confusing questions involved in the
study Of the problem of reorgan-
izing the government of the Dis
trict from the standpoint of chang
ing the present form of local gov
ernment even in small way.

Preliminary Budget Not
indicative Of Final Amount.

ZONE seem startled by the pre-
y liminary budget requests of
the various departments of
the District government, which, in
the aggregate, exceed $50, ,0Oo. 900.
This fear is based on lack Of
knowledge of how these matters
have been handled in the past.
This very fear is in itself con-
elusive evidence that the Commits
sioners are following the proper
course in taking the public into
their confidence at this stage of the
proceedings. There will be mystery
aplenty as the District budget
moves along its tortuous way
toward final approval by Congress
and the President.
Heretofore, with the exception OF
the time of the Citizens Advisory
Council, the practice has been for
the Commissioners and the bud
get officer of the District to confer
in secret with department heads
and revise downward the amounts
as requested. Sometimes inf1uen-
tial citizens would get the ear of
the Commissioners and put in a
stroke for some pet project which
they hoped would be allowed
There was, however, no regular
method of giving the voteless tax
PAYERS of the District an oppor-
tunity to know what recommends
tions had been made to the Com
missioners and consequently no
way for these taxpayers, through
their civic-minded representatives.
presenting their views.
These preliminary requests rep
resent, in a measure, the approx
mate actual needs of the District
for the next fiscal year. No Dis
trict official or informed civic
worker is sufficiently optimistic to
think the amount sent to the Bu-
reau of the Budget by the Com
missioners, the amount approved
by that Federal agency or the
amount finally appropriated will
be within 10 or Is million dollars
of the amount carried in the pre-
hminary estimates.
This action of the Commission
ers is only q new cog in the buge-
tary machine. Organized civic
Washington is almost unanimous
in wishing this new cog had been
substituted for the Budget Buerau
cog. The Commissioners hope to
get some team work from the citi-
zens as a result of the forthcom-
ing hearings. Were it possible to
take the Budget Bureau out OF the
picture and lift the ban of secrecy
from the Commissioners final
recommendations, which would
then go direct to Congress, the
possibilities for team work would
be greatly increased.
There is no occasion at the pres
ent time for the people to get
worked up over a fear that the
preliminary requests mean a
heavy tax increase. 1t Is always
too soon to worry over something
which may never happen.
