Months Work

Grading of four and one-half
miles Of road up Weber canyon
east of Kiona will begin as soon as
WPA workmen are available, H. j.
Strandwold, Benton county engin-
eer, said Tuesday.
The cost of the road improvement
was estimated at $4,000, including
$4,000 the county will supply from
its share of the secondary highway
fund. The remainder is represent
ed in labor and will be furnished by
WPA. Considerable rock work will
be necessary and there is enough
work in the project to keep a large
crew busy for five months, Strand
void said. Cold weather will not
stop The operations.
The road would serve wheat
ranchers who have to haul their
crops over a crude trail, the engin-
GERS said, the trail often becomes
impossible in bad weather, and
residents Of that part Of the coun-
try have tried for many years to get
a new road, Strandwold said.

.PROSSER BACKS
STATE AID FOR
PATERSON ROAD
Seek 500, 600 to Connect with
North Bank Highway;
Ferry Crosses $4,000 Cars
a Year

Yakima and Benton county road
leaders pledged a united effort in
urging the state to develop the 81
mile Prosser-Paterson road when
they met near Paterson Sunday to
dedicate the new ferry tugboat and
to map a program to solicit state
approval, says news dispatch from
Prosser yesterday.
This was the first of series of
programs proposed by the Prosser
Commercial club to focus attention
on the road, which members believe
If improved would bring a large
amount of traffic into the state and
increase business in the Yakima
valley.
Cost Set 1t 100000
George o. Beardsley, one of the
speakers on the program, which at
tracted 100 persons, said the ferry
boat crossing the Columbia river
carried an average of $4,000 cars a
year across the river the last five
years and IL a first class road was
built between Prosser and Pater-
son that number would be at least
doubled.
The road, he said, is the only
unimproved stretch between Salt
Lake City and Seattle, and should
attract tourist trade that now goes
down the Columbia river highway
into Washington and through the
Yakima valley. The cost Of grading
and oiling the 27-mile stretch was
estimated at 100000. Officials Of
the Paterson Ferry Co. said that
increased traffic would warrant q
reduction In the ferry rate from 81
to so cents q car.
Tugbost Dedicated
Other speakers were F. o. Hagie,
managing secretary Of the Yakima
Chamber Of Commerce. Senator
George McAulay Of Yakima and
Representative Fred %. Kemp and
Andrew Brown Of Prosser. The road
leaders Of the two counties decided
to send q delegation to Olympia
November 20 to ask the Washington
Good Roads association committee,
which meets there at that time, to
put the project on the association
list for state aid.

In POWER BIZ
Utility District Manager Tells
Clubmen Cost of Juice Can
BE Cut 25 Percent by Action
Taken Now

The cost OF putting the Benton
county public utility district into
power business was estimated at
100000, exclusive OF the cost OF
high transmission lines, by j. b.
Whitehead, manager Of the district,
who spoke at the Prosser CONNER
cial club meeting Tuesday.
This would include an expendi-
ture Of 100000 for developing a
power plant at Priest Rapids, which,
Whitehead said, would care for the
power need Of the county at least
five years. He said the Priest Ra-
pids power site had unlimited possi-
bilities. Whitehead said he believed
the public utility district could cut
power rates IS percent under the
present rates.
Condemnation Proposed
Tracing the progress OF the Ben
ton county district, which was the
first in the state to be organized,
Whitehead said there were only
three men In the state capable OF
handling properly a condemnation
of private company power lines,
which is proposed by the lower val
ley district.
Kenneth Harlan of Tacoma has
acted for the district and the only
cash payment to him SO far has
been for expenses, Whitehead said.
When revenue starts coming in he
will be paid sos a day for the work
he has done or will do for the dis
trict.
The speaker maintained condem-
nation was the only way to get a
price set on the Pacific Power Sc
Light Co. property, which the dis
trict proposes buying. Residents
will vote on a district proposal to
condemn and purchase the Pacific
Power e. Light Co. properties De-
cember 5.
Revenue Bonds Planned
Harry Jones, one OF the candida
ties for director of the county dis
trict in the December s election,
said he was against the utility setup
in its present form, asserting he
was opposed to putting the debt on
the whole county. Preston Roger.
another candidate, maintained the
cost will not fall on the taxpayers
as the revenue for purchase OF lines
and power facilities will come solely
from revenue bonds. which will be
repaid with earnings of the district.
