C. OF G.. OFFERS
SCHOOL HELP
Will Aid in Any Move to Sc
cure New Building
Facilities

Aware of the need for addition
al school facilities and feeling that
advantage should be taken OF the
government grant of aid therefor,
the board of governors of the cham
her of commerce was called Tues
day evening to consider the mat
ter. Supt. E. s. Black went over
the records for the past ten sea-
sons, pointing out the growing in
crease in enrolment In both grade
and high schools and Of the need
for additional space to house the
enrolment this coming fall.
He told Of the offer Of federal
grant for a new structure on the
basis Of the district raising 20 per
cent Of the cost, the remainder to
come from the government. 1t was
the opinion of the board members
that probably no such offer would
be possible another year, and that
If at all possible, advantage should
be taken Of it while it was still
available.
Petition for the funds, filed with
tentative plans for the improve
ment, are already on file in the
state headquarters. Should a plan
be found for the development, an
election will be called to authorize
it. The board promised every sup
port in any plan which was found
feasible.

THREE RIDEN
PATROL WAGON
Legion Grabs Local Men in
Publicity Stunt in Mem
bership Drive

The patrol wagons used by the
state police are not comfortable
conveyances, as can be attested by
o couple of Kennewick citizens who
were forced to ride In one last eve
ming. Resistance offered to the pa
trolmen is practically useless, too,
they discovered.
The American Legion, in staging
its membership caravan, enlisted
the aid Of two of the states patrol
wagons, and two motorcycle-mount-
ed officers. The caravan started at
Sunnyside and ended at Pasco,
where feed was given the "boys."
At Sunnyside a victim was selected
and thrust in the patrol. At Grand
view another was locked in. AT Pros
ser, Walt Sommers, former post
master and Loren Lape, were
Shanghaied from their lawns and
were added to the two in the wagon
When they got to Kennewick, Lar
ny Oliver, p. o. Stone and Ralph
Reed were loaded in.
The trip to Pasco was q rough
one. There the victims were taken
TO the air port to meet the Legion
plane, afterward returned to town
where a feed was set.
Moral is: Don't try to get funny
with those big boys in the khaki
uniforms, because the patrol wagon
is terribly stuffy.

issued from Mike Davidson, in
spector for the city on the new
road oiling program.
Mr.. Davidson, a member Of the

it takes ten days or two weeks

that in the meantime fast travel

Mr.. Davidson reports the work
completed this evening from
Kennewick Avenue to the high
way, and that it will take about
a week longer to finish the job.

HOVER MAY BE
MADE HEAD OF
NAVIGATION
UmatilIa Dam, as Now Put in
Plans, Would Back Water
to HOmily Rapids; Snake
Not Favored

Hover, q dozen miles down the
river from Kennewick, will be the
head Of navigation on the Columbia
river, under the plan which receiv-
ed the most favor at the open river
meeting held at Lewiston yester-
day This is the report brought
back to the Kennewick chamber OF
commerce this noon by the commit
tee which attended the sessions.
Plans for opening the Snake riv-
er to Lewiston for boat traffic are
likely to be abandoned, Judging
from the reports made at the meet
ing. The relatively small flow Of
the river and the numerous OBJ
Structions would make the channel
ization too expensive, it developed.
Army engineers who Rave been
studying the development Of the
two rivers have three plans for o
dam at Umatilla. The first, q low
dam, would be largely for flood con-
troll. The second, and the one most
~ likely TO receive endorsement, u
for seventy-foot structure which
would back the river up TO Homily
rapids, just above Hover, deep
enough TO permit river transporta-
ton. The high dam not only very
expensive to construct, would flood
too large an area, but would also
cause relocation Of railroads and
highways.
The "middle-sized" dam would
raise the level of the river TO the
310-foot stage, SIS feet below the
rails on the N. p. bridge. It would
create a lake from Kennewick to
Umatilla, navigable to Homily
rapids by boats Of six-foot draft,
and further upstream to smaller
craft. According to plans, 1t would
have the arrangements built in for
the installation at some future
period Of power generating equip
ment, not included in the present
plans.
In the opinion Of the local COM
mittee which attended the hearing,
this will be the recommendation OF
the engineers who are to submit
their findings TO the national plan
ming board In the very near future.
M. M. Moulton, A. r. Brown, Don
Thompson and A. /. Smith compos-
ed the committee.

Complaints

Is the net result of hearing be.
fore the state public service com.
mission Tuesday eevning on com.
plants of the city over the rate be-
ing paid the Pacific Power & Light
Co. during the past several years
The hearing, attended by represent
ativeS Of the service company and
the city council, brought an offer
for reduction in rate from five
to four dollars per month per plug
or would permit sixteen additional
plugs at the same annual rental
Complaints received by the city
from citizens about the increase in
fire insurance rates on account OF
the distance Of the risks from fire
plugs, and the fact that other mu-
inequalities seem to enjoy q lower
rate, caused the council to ask an
investigation by the state depart
ment.
The hearing brought out the
fact that the Kennewick water sys-
tenn was the only one the Pacific
company operates In this state, and
no comparable figures could be
given as to Justification for the
rates. However, the company vol
unfairly made the offer, explain
ing that 1t was their policy to Of
fer inducements for expansion of
their service and they wanted to
make 1t as easy as possible for the
city to provide additional facilities

also at the wholly unlocked for Of
