COUNTY PLANS
TO APPEAL
POW Err CASE


Notice of appeal from the superior
court decision ordering Benton
county commissioners to certify the
budget of the Benton county utility
district and spread a power levy
of three-tenths of a mill over the
tax roll was filed Tuesday.
County commissions maintained
they were without authority to make
the levy on account of the 40-mill
limit provided by initiative No. 81.
They plan to take the case to the
supreme court to settle the ques-
ton. .ze,s,rsz-srs .szq-sasz..
Judge T. A. Paul of Walla Walla
wrote the superior court opinion
holding that the power district
commissioners made the levy and
the county only collects it. The
three-tenths of a mill would raise
$500.

TO BE STRICT
ON LICENSES

Benton county motorists who have
been laggardly about getting their
1896 license plates had better make
their applications before next We'd
nesday or leave their vehicles at
home until they do, according to
State Patrolman Marvin Carnahan,
who states that the force has been
given strict orders to enforce the
law in this respect.
Beginning January 2, we viii
start making arrests Of those driv-
ing with 1885 license plates" Carn-
ahan said. "Only a comparatively
few motorists have the new plates
so far, showing a great number Of
motorists have been careless"
Owners who have not obtained
their certificates of title from prev
ious owners are also in for a little
trouble, Carnahan states, for their
cars will be tied up until both their
title and 1896 licenses have been is
sued.

CARS SUFFER ,
SKIDDING OFF
SLICK ROADS

Automobiles crashed into fences
and bitches and even motorists who
travelled at extremely low rates of
speed lost control of their cars Tues
day afternoon and evening when
the pavements were covered with
sheet of ice. Rain and sleet fell
all afternoon and froze on the
roads soon after it fell. 81 "a,
The highway bridge between here
and Pasco became an extremely
hazardous venture and several col
lisions and jams resulted from the
slippery surface. In one jam on the
bridge in which a truck was side
sWiped and caused a jam into which
slid two other cars caused report
to be circulated locally that three
persons had been killed, which was
changed yesterday morning to four
injured with one fatality. A check
this afternoon failed to produce
anyone seriously injured in that
nixup although several other mis-
haps are reported. ~.
AS Lewis Carpenter and his fam
lily was driving from Walla Walla
Tuesday the car skidded on the icy
pavement causing the car to turn
completely over twice. The car was
badly damaged, but not enough to
prevent Lewis driving on to Kenne--
wick where they spent Christmas
with his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. G. A.
Carpenter. The occupants of the
car escaped with a few minor
bruises. a &.
{ Cars driven by w. r. Kennison of
Grandview and w. E. Parks of
Richland were reported to have
skidded into the ditch this side of
thes approach to the bridge Tues
day afternoon. The occupants were
said to have escaped injury, but the
cars were damaged considerably.
A. F. Berrian of Berrian skidded
off the road on the Umatilla high
way near the Herb Owens place
Saturday evening. He escaped with
minor injuries, but the car was bad
ly damaged.

is ISSUED ON
SCHOOL HOUSE

No injunction has been filed
against the building Of the new
school house, and there is but little
likelihood that one will be filed, ac-
cording to the latest information
obtainable.
In spite of the Yuletide season,
when peace on earth and good will
to men is supposed to be the theme
uppermoSt in every mans heart, al
most the universal topic OF street
conversation the past week has been
the injunction. All kinds Of reports
were being made and the discussion
waXed fierce.
So stirred were some residents
that meeting was called and it was
determined to hire an attorney TO
file the papers. Further discus
sions, however, with more COM
plete and authentic information
caused the project to be abandoned.
Most Of the objections were rails
ed over the matter Of taxpayers
getting work on the new building
although no small amount Of the
talk related to the increase in the
cost Of the new structure, it being
originally understood that the build
ing was to cost in the neighbor-
hood of a hundred thousand dollars,
while the contracts as let called for
Sl30O00. 60
H. j. Hartman and j. F. Graham,
Of the Standard Construction Co., Of
Tacoma, who have the general con-
tract for the building, were in Ken
newick tonight, making arrange
ments for the beginning of the act
ual construction a week from to-
day. "You may assure the people in
this district that we will cooperate
in every way possible toward giving
local taxpayers jobs with us on the
new building" MIR. Graham stat
ed. when your board promised that
they would also do everything in
their power along this line, they
agreed with us that this was no more
than just and you may be assured
that we will live up to our prom
Uses in every particular" Mr.. Gra-
ham said. .-
"As soon as we get under way we
shall be able to use 20 or IS labor
ers and about an equal number of
mechanics. OF course we shall give
preference to local help wherever we
can, always having believed that
this is the best policy in jobs Of
this kind. We point to our federal
job at Prosser, where only the fore
man was brought from outside the
county, all the rest of the job be-
ing done with local help. Your peo-
pie here need have no fears on this
point" he continued.
On the matter Of increased cost,
when it was explained that the in
crease from $4,000 to $4,000 in the
federal grant and the further state
grant Of $5,8l8, with the promise Of
still more state funds made up al
but something in the neighborhood
of $4,000 of the contract price,
much Of the opposition from this
source was eliminated. The latter
sum has been included in the dis
trict's approved budget for capital
outlay, representing actual savings
during the past couple Of years OPP
erations and portion on this
years budget. This sum had been
set aside for new heating plant
in the present building, in case the
new structure was not authorized.
The money, in this case, Mr.. Arm
old explained tonight would still 60
into a new heating plant, although
it viii be located in the new build
ing which would heat both build
ings.
