CITY WARNS ON
RIDING BIKES
ON SIDEWALK
Those Riding in a Careless
Manner to Be Prosecuted !;
One Injured When Run
Over by Bike Rider

At the regular meeting Of the city
council Tuesday evening the Ken
newick police were given special in
struction to pick up and arrest any
person, boy or girl, who rides q b.
cycle in a careless manner on any
sidewalk in the city limits.
A city ordinance prohibits the
riding Of bicycles on the sidewalks
of Kennewick, however, Mayor A.
c. Anon said this law would not
be enforced II bicycle riders and
roller skaters used the sidewalks in
an orderly manner. Re declard
that anyone on a bicycle, or roller
skates would have to give full right
Of way to person on foot.
No speedy or careless riding, or
the practice by many cyclists to
slip up to q pedestrian for the sake
of giving him q thrill or scare would
be tolerated and any violator is to
be punished by having their bicy-
Gle taken from them and a possible
fine.
The council does not wish to pro-
hibit cyclists from using the side
walks and forcing them onto dang
erous motor lanes, but 1t will be ne
cessary if the warning is not heed
ed.
One small girl has already been
quite seriously hurt when she was
struck down by bike, while sever
al others have had bad bumps.

OLD MAN SUN
CUTS LOOSE
P asst w EEK
No Reports of Heat Pr0stra-
tons Here, Although Many
Forced to Seek Points of
Refuge.

Although the weather prophets OF
Kennewick have predicted a moder-
ate summer, all their predictions
were blown to atoms, when "Old
Man Sunshine" cut loose last Fri
day and has virtually fried the dis
trict.
Friday morning temperatures
steadily rose until they reached past
the century mark and parks and
swimming beaches were overcrowd-
ed by throngs seeking relief from
the heat.
Sol almost set a new high record
for himself in this district, when
again Saturday and Sunday he sent
the red mercury line way up past
the century mark with high of
liz reported on Sunday afternoon.
Great numbers from the bridge
region took refuge again in the
parks and swimming beaches, while
still others more fortunate drove to
mountain resorts.
The first relief was noticed late
Monday evening, when just at the
time of the eclipse of the moon, the
skies darkened, and outlines were
made vivid by flashes of lightning
and finally hope of relief was
noted by a very short rain shower,
and residents had their first good
nights sleep in three long, hot days
and nights

CONSOLIDATE
FAIRGROUNDS
is CITY PLAN
City Council Moves to Com
bine Fairgrounds and Ten
mis- Courts at City Park
with Aid of Federal Money

One Of the requests for federal
money grants for local improve
ments will be for the building and
erection Of city playground and
tennis court at the city park.
The council feels that so long as
they hire a caretaker for the park
1t would be good plan to combine
the park into recreational center
by adding these new features at the
one location. This would make a
central point for everyone, and an
advantageous one for general up
keep.
An effort is going to be made to
secure the funds for this purpose
and it will probably be handled as
a labor measure by the federal gov
eminent.
A tennis organization meeting
win be held Wednesday evening,
July "a, in the Chamber of Com
merce rooms at 7:30 pm.

It has become a habit in Kenne-
wick by some motorists to either
absolutely ignore a siren sound by
driving straight through an inter-
section, or hogging the center of a
street, while other will race with
the siren car when a call comes In.
Any future violations of this type
viii be fully prosecuted, officials
said, and they are warning all mo-
florists to give complete right-of-
way, regardless Of where they may
be, when a siren is sounded. In
addition to breaking the law, they
could also be held responsible in
case of an accident, 1t was said.

A Real Need for Flood Control

Present antics OF the Rio Grande In its upper
reaches and predictions Of similar goings on in the
Valley section bring home once more to those who
live along its banks the real need for q rapid COM
pletion- OF the flood control and water conservation
program authorized by the West bill.
All realize, Of course, that this program cannot be
completed In a month, or in q year. but the sooner
the start Is made, the quicker the completion and
the bringing o. absolute surety to residents OF both
sides Of this international stream Right now i'm
portant work that would add to the security Of prop
erty on the Annerican side OF the river is being de-
layed because funds have not been provided the In
ternational Boundary commission, and this at q time
when a great national drive is being conducted to
take men off the dole and put them to work"
Representative West and other Valley leaders are
doing their best, but still the Works administration
does not jar loose from the money that would en-
able the State Department, father Of the boundary
commission, to proceed.
Neither has any word been heard from Washing
Ton as to the prospects Of early action on the all
necessary treaty with Mexico that win enable the
two countries to cooperate In working out the vari-
Gus proposals authorized under the terms Of the
West bill.
AL realize that these things take time, but on the
other hand, as stated above, the quicker action Is
taken, the quicker the thing will be accomplished.
The Valley must not rest on It's oars In this mat
ter Of flood control and water conservation. We
must keep everlastingly at it If the aims Of the bill
are TO be accomplished within the present generation

An Unfortunate Coincidence

It was indeed unfortunate that a Valley delegation
should have waited on Governor Alfred urging the
building Of the Kennedy county road and casting
aspersions on the State Highway commission on the
very day that the commission called for bids on the
first lap OF this road construction.
There have been too many differences Of opinion,
and too many unjust accusations cast on the high
way commission IN the past. for the construction OF
thus road TO be further delayed by Valley action Just
when the commission is settling down to build the
road.
Members Of the commission may rest assured that
The Valley as . whole appreciates their attitude In
the matter, appreciates the fact that they have
called for bids on the first project, and has every
confidence that they are acting in good faith and
irtend to complete the road at the earliest possible
moment.
