MAYOR URGES
SPECIAL LEVY

Street improvement work should
be paid for out of city funds rath-
er than made an assessment upon
local property owners, in the opin-
ion of Mayor Alfred Anon, who
spoke at the chamber Of commerce
luncheon this noon. Mr.. Anon ex-
planned that the special election for
an extra five mill levy on city prop
erty was for street improvement
work and urged the residents Of the
city to work and vote for the pas
sage of the proposal.
The special levy will come under
the law which provides that go per-
cent of a majority of the numbers
Of voters at the last gubernatorial
election favor the levy. Four years
ago, the combined vote inside the
city limits for governor was 627.
Three fifths of half of this num-
Der must favor the levy or it will
fail.
The city will hold its regular an
nual budget meeting on the first
Monday in october, at which time
the various items in the budget
will come in for revision. Any tax

LIONS INVADE
DAYTON PARK

Last Fridays clash with the
smaller and inexperienced team
from Connell wasn't much Of a foot
ball game, in the opinion Of the
special sports writer for The Cour-
ier-Reporter. The only redeeming
feature was a look at the Lions re-
serve, in which Butch Meeker"
Fyfe, subbing for Oliver, put up q
great exhibition. With the help OF
Quasi, Walters and Rowland, the
second string has served notice to
the starting backfield to not loaf on
the job.
Aside from the kick the crowd
got out of pulling for Fyfe, the most
interesting feature Of the game was
the way Coach Slater sent the first
and second strings to the showers In
the last quarter. Forty kids are
wearing orange and black uniforms
and about thirty Of 'em had been
sent in, leaving only the freshies
left to carry on. Proud papas renew
ed the thrills of their school days
when they saw their youngsters
line up in a regular game for the
first time.
The Lions are all set for the game
at Dayton tomorrow (Friday), ac-
cording to the reporter, who thinks
that Coach Slater has one Of the
fastest and hardest hitting teams
ever to represent the local high
school. The probable lineup will be:
Brown, Reymore, ends; Potts and
Pardini, guards; Silliman, center;
Jones, Talbot, halves; Oliver, quar-
ter. and Na0lev at fullback.

NO MONEY IN
VIEW FOR WORK
ON HIGHLANDS
Project Must Take its Turn
for U. S. Grant; State Also
Short of Funds; County
Has Fared Well

While all agencies have agreed to
cooperate in the matter the re-
building of the Highlands domestic
system, the work is not, apparently,
to be started Immediately. After
twenty-five years of use the wood
mains have worn out and the sys-
tenn is badly in need of repairs.
Under the federal grant offer
made last year, the district agreed
to bond itself for the SIS percent re-
quired, voted the issue and COM
pleted the preliminary work. Word
from Congressman Hill states that
the project has been approved by
the department, but that the grant
must take it's turn with hundreds Of
others of similar nature. No def
mite date has been arrived at as
to when the district could feel safe
to start the work.
The district, on its part, had ar
ranged with the state to sell its
bond issue to the reclamation re-
volving fund. The state, too, is hold
ing up action, due to the fact that
the fund has been depleted, altho
satisfactory returns are being made.
G. j. Bartholet, who was here last
week, pointed out that the large
loans already made to Benton coun-
ty irrigation districts had helped
to make this situation. He pointed
out that the Richland district had
secured $142,570 from the fund, the
Horse Heaven district $4,000, the
Sunnyside district 100000, the XII
ona district $29,908, the Kennewick
district sos, 900 and $29,908 at an
other time, while the Columbia dis
trict got $4,000 on the repair work
a year or two ago. This makes over
100000 which Benton county has
received from the states reclama-
ton funds.
