SPEEDLAW TO
BE ENFORCED
IN KENNEWICK
County and City to Bear
Down on Fast Driving;
Council to Post Signs and
Watch ViOlatOrS

The state speed laws are going to
be enforced in the city limits, &C
cording to instructions issued to
the police by Mayor Alfred Anon,
following Tuesday nights council
meeting. The business of making
the road down from the Highlands
and the paved highway speedway
is going to be stopped, and the 9TH
er regulations in the city regard
ing traffic are also to be enforced,
the mayor says.
Yakima county has been rightly
enforcing the 40-mile limit recently
in an effort to reduce the number
of accidents, and the county Off
Gals have passed the ukase that the
highway from Prosser west is also to
be patroled. Now comes the city Of
Kennewick with request to make
it cover the entire county and as
soon as the warning signs can be
placed the ruling will be enforced
here, too.
Last Saturday night the weekly
race to town from the Highlands
was slowed down materially. The
patrolman's paddy car" headed the
procession to town and none of the
boys and girls who followed from
the clubhouse quite had the nerve
to buzz by and run the risk of los
ing his drivers license. For the
first time in years it was not dam
gerous to drive out of town near
midnight.
While they are at it the city is
going to have the police check up
on all the state regulations and
speeds greater than the permitted
25-mile gait are to be prohibited in
side the city limits from now on.

C.OFC.FAVORS
UNIT OF RED
CROSS HERE
Plan to Have First Aid Sta
tiOns in Several Parts of
County; Sponsor Life Saw
ing Glasses

The chamber of commerce went
on record this noon as favoring the
establishment of a Benton County
unit of the National Red Cross. Miss
Aida Bigelow, field representative
for Washington, was here the early
part of the week, explaining the ad-
vantages of local chapter. The
work in Benton county is being han
died through the Yakima chapter
at present and Geo. d. Peters is
the district representative on the
board.
Among the activities the Red
Cross is pushing at the present time
is the establishment of first aid
stations at strategic locations thru
out the county, with the suggestion
that the first one be placed near
Kiona on the main highway. Then,
as soon as possible, others at Ho-
yer, Richland and White Bluffs and
Hanford.
First aid courses, open to the gen.
eral public will be conducted, the
first one of which starts next week
and is being conducted by DR.. II. j.
Capell, from whom all details may
be secured. Another is the estab-
lishment of emergency depots in
several parts of the county, as well
as local representative to handle
emergency financial matters.
The operation of the swimming
schools is another of the activities
the organization is sponsoring and
the life saving classes are being es-
pecially stressed. Similar action in
Prosser will no doubt result in the
establishment of a local chapter.
