CITY SEEKING
NEW REVENUE
FOR LIBRARY
May Tax Beer Places and the
Nickel in the Slot Machines
to Get Additional Fund for
City Projects

The newly passed forty-mill tax
limit bill is already beginning to
have it's effect upon tax levying
bodies. It promises to put a SER
ious crimp into the city's expend-
itures and will preclude the pos
sibility of city support for the Ii
brary and the park, it is thought
by city officials.
In an attempt to bolster up the
city's income from other sources,
Mayor Alfred Anon suggested u
couple of new sources of revenue.
He proposes to tax all places in
the city limits where beer and wine
are handled and to require a stiff
license for the operation of the
nickle-in-the-slot games which are
becoming so numerous.
The mayor suggested a $25. IL
cense for the drink establishments
and 500 for the first and SIS for
each additional game machine. If
the present number of each is
maintained, enough extra money
will be collected, he figures, to
keep the library operating. An
ordinance to this effect will be
prepared and introduced at the
next meeting.

INSURANCE is
COSTING TOWN
FAR TOO MUCH
Per Capita Loss Three Times
National Figure; Should
Save Extra Cost by Careful
ness and Precautions

. Insurance rates in Kennewick
are at least fifteen percent too
high, and the per capita fire loss is
three times the normal national
figure, as a city we're terrible
housekeepers and we ought to perk
up and take care of things, are a
few of the many statements made
by N. L. Thurber this week to the
members of the Kiwanis club and
to the fire department and tine city
council.
That the people of town abso-
lutely control the cost of insurance
is his statement and policy hold
ers pay for something they do not
get as long as the present condi-
ton continues. Mr.. Thurber said
that with a little extra effort in
cleaning up the town, providing
better fire fighting facilities and
stricter observance Of the building
codes the cost of insurance could
be materially reduced.
He told Kiwanis members at the
noon meeting Tuesday that with
every premium payment careless
householders and auto drivers were
paying a toll which could and
should be materially reduced. The
universal custom of sticking the
insurance company" was not that
at all, ne said, but merely a mat
ter of raising insurance rates, for
it was the premium payers who
kept the insurance companies 60
ing and they were the ones to foot
the bills. He urged that greater
care be exercised in preventing
fires and accidents upon the high
ways.
To the fire department he told
of the inspection work which his
company was urging upon all city
employees. He said the time to
fight a fire was long before it
started to blaze. Then with effic-
lent fire fighting equipment losses
could be held to the minimum. He
urged that additional equipment be
provided and strict compliance
of the building and electric wiring
code be enforced by the council. He
also urged that several of the un-
slightly fire hazards about town
be condemned as a public menace.

DIRECTORS OF
DISTRICTS TO
SEEK MARKET
Committee to Study Problem
of Disposing of Products of
Area; Seek Federal Aid in
Marketing Set Up

Directors of seven of the eight
nearby irrigation districts met
Monday evening at the local Ma
,onic hall to discuss the disposal of
he areas produce. A distinct feel
mo of the inadequacy of the mar
teting facilities showed itself in
lie informal discussions which
rere held.
It seemed the concensus of opin-
lon, according to reports, that
unified agency, handled under gov
4nment supervision and pattern
ID after the cooperative plan,
would best serve the interests of
tie growers. Canning facilities for
the surpluses was also taken into
consideration and the need for such
IN Institution was shown by the
discussions.
It was also felt that the present
time, while other conditions were
m such a state of unrest, that it
vas splendid opportunity to seek
and receive governmental aid III
one way or another. That a cap
able representative of the depart
ment of agriculture could now be
obtained to conduct a comprehen-
siye survey was thought quite pos
dble.
To study out a plan and make
such arrangements as may appear
necessary, a committee was ap-
pointed from among those present.
One member of each board of di-
rectors was named on this special
Investigating committee, which
will function under the chairman
ship of M. N. Hudnall, who repre-
sented the Kennewick Irrigation
District.
L. A. Tweet represented the
Columbia district, w. c. Muldrow,
who was also made secretary, rep
resented the Sunnyside district, C.
A. Pine, the Burbank project, w.
S. Weber, Priest Rapids, c. F.
Fletcher the Richland district and
q member of the board Of Franklin
county district.
just what can be worked out
along the marketing line is of
course at present merely mat
ter of conjecture, but the aim is to
secure sure, safe, inexpensive
market for all the produce which
Is produced in the several adjacent
districts, with possibly a working
agreement for cannery products.
The committee will study the re-
port and attempt to work out q
satisfactory plan to submit to the
growers at a later date.

OPEN WINTER
PREDICTED BY
OLD TIMERS
Another Mild Season Forecast
by Observers who Claim All
Signs Point to Another Mild
Winter this Year

The warm weather being exper-
fenced in the valley this fall has
started representations for win
ter. While the foothills around us
have received snow and are reveal
ed in their cleaning Wilderness, the
real, genuine weather cooker-up-
pers are predicting another mild,
open winter for this district. One
of the most reliable of the local
prophets says:
"The winter" he said, will be
about the same as last year. There
may be heavy snow in the hills,
but / doubt whether there will be
much in the valley"
Meadowlarks and other birds
are still in the fields, he said, and
if a hard winter were coming they
would be gone. The small animals
which store away much food when
a hard winter is coming have not
paid much attention to their fu-
ture supplies, he added.
Another guesser also predicted a
comfortable winter, ex planning
that spiders, which usually hum
spaces in logs or walls or floors at
this time of the year, still are out.
In the meantime the weather is
similar to that Of spring and the
recent rains and warm days and
nights have caused lawns to be-
come green and the nearby hills
roundabout are turning green
again.

COURT DECISION
OPENS WAY TO
MOVE CID PLAN
Election to Ratify Refinanc-
ing Loan from RFC May be
Held in December; District
to Arrange for Loan

Plans for the refinancing of the
Columbia Irrigation District were
given a substantial boost this week
thru a supreme court decision re-
lating to election laws. The prop
osition can now shortly be sub
mitted to the landowners in the
district for ratification, no further
waits upon the legality of the cleo
ton is now standing in the way of
action.
The law which has held up the
proceedings is one passed by the
legislature in 1892 setting up
county election boards, with defin-
tie dates predetermined. The court
decision this week handed down
rules that this law does not apply
to irrigation districts. The same
decision also ruled that school dis
tricts did come within the meaning
of the law.
The irrigation district case was
brought before the high court in an
original action to compel E. F.
Banker, director of Conservation
and Development to purchase with
state reclamation revolving funds
$308,945 in bonds voted by the
Spokane county district and $685.
900 in bonds voted by the Chelan
county district as special elections
held this year.
The supreme court held that ir-
rigation district special elections
always have been exceptions und-
er the general election laws, since
they often consist of territory in
more than one county.
The ruling in this case now OPP
ems the way for the district to call
for a special election authorizing
the refinancing plans with the RFC
to proceed. The resolution calling
for such action has been prepared
and has already been sent to the
federal headquarters for approval.
Following its return, after Off
cial legal notice has been given the
election will be called which will
permit the further negotiations
with the government.

CHANGERS GIVE
MAYOR LOTS OF
FARM PRODUCE
Townspeople Bring Back Load
of Stuff Won at Grange
Carnival; Mayor Bilked of
Speech

Chickens, canned goods, fruits
and vegetables filled the cars of
the local city residents who return
ed from the Highlands grange car
nival at the club house last Friday
evening. A bingo game, wheels of
fortune, darts, fish ponds, etc.
provided the prizes and all were
well patronized.
Quite a representative group OF
Kennewick businessmen put in an
appearance at the carnival and all
report having had most enjoyable
time. BY the time the games ran
out of prizes the orchestra put in
an appearance and the dancing
was started and later in the eve
ming confetti and other carnival
features were introduced.
Mayor Alfred Anon was the
only one, apparently, who attended
who did not enjoy himself. He had
been asked to make a speech, but
there was so much hilarity going
on that it was deemed impossible
to have had him heard. He had
written and learned a speech sew
eraI pages long and had been wor-
rying all evening about having to
give it. Then when it was called
off he was sore because he didn't
get the opportunity. The armload
of produce he returned to town
with helped to ease the situation
somewhat and by the first of the
week he had recovered his usual
urbanity.
