who had received a number of re-
quests for additional elementary and

not see any need for additional school
facilities in that area at the present
time. He explained the student popu-
lation of the section does not warrant
an increase now.
DR.. Ballou discussed the projected
flve-year building program, explaining
that one of the most important as
poets of school planning is trying to
keep ahead of the development of

The association adopted a resolu-
ton urging installation of traffic
lights at the following intersections:
Vermont avenue and r street, Ver-
mont and S street, Thirteenth street
and Florida avenue. The measure
also asked location OF stop" signs
at Twelfth and N streets, Fifth and

RIG READY TO
CLOSELOAN. TO
COL. IRR. DIST.

According to kilograms received
by Columbia Irrigation District Of
ficials this week, closing papers of
the refinancing loan are now being
prepared by the staff of the Recon-
struction Finance corporation in
Washington, DC. It is the exper-
fence of other districts that have
used this method of refinancing
that, having reached this point,
final closing of the loan will be brot
about by the RFC as rapidly as pos
sible. According to this experience,
Columbia Irrigation District should
receive it's first payment during the
coming week.
Weather has been extremely fay-
orable for work on the districts
canal system, and with the excep-
ton of repairs to flume one, all
major jobs have been completed.
The gravel lining project on lateral
number three was completed last
week and the regular maintenance
crew OF the district is now engaged
in overhauling the telephone and
alarm system, replacing about 100
OF the poles supporting the lines.
To comply with the requirements
OF the RFC before agreeing to make
a loan to the district, the district
must agree to so handle it's finances
that in it's operation and mainten-
ance costs, cash must be paid for
every expenditure, excluding major
disasters. It is allowed three years
IN which to build UP this cash re-
serve to its required amount, and in
preparation for this contingency, the
district closed the year 1885 with a
substantial cash balance in it's ex-
pense fund.

To Start Soon
on City Building,

Word was received from the state
this week that the federal portion
of the money for the new addition
to the city hall would be forthcom-
ing in the near future. The COM
munication stated that all jobs in
volving concrete work were being
held up until such time as danger
of freezing was past, but that in
Kennewick the project might be
started sooner.
The city applied for PWA grant
at the time the city voted for the
fire truck bonds, about this time
last year. Under the plans outlin-
ed at that time, the fire station was
to be enlarged and the jail and city
offices rearranged, this work re-
quiring an addition to be built on
the east side of the present building.
The necessary property has been
acquired and the city is ready to
proceed with the work as soon as
the federal grant is available.

Crew Starts on
Park Roadway

Work was started on the city's
park project the first of this week,
according to report made to the
council Tuesday night by Ed Watts,
who has the job in charge.
A crew of men was put at work
clearing the ground at the west end
of the park where the new street to
the new school building will be To-
Gated. The new location will be
straight south of the bridge and will
be a part of the new road to run
along the south side of the park.
The park job also involves the
building of an additional bridge
across the canal at Auburn street.
This structure will also include a
foot bridge. Included in the pro-
ject is considerable improvement
in the park proper, as well as the
construction of the new road bor-
dering it and, if men are available,
the improvement of the river bank
along the highway in the city limits.

Piers to Replace
Piling, on Bridge

- Bids for new approaches to the
Kennewick-Pasco highway bridge
are to be called for this week, ac-
cording to a report made to the
chamber of commerce this noon by
Senator c. s. Stinson of Pasco.
Mr.. Stinson stated that the high
way engineer in charge Of this sec
ton told him yesterday that they
expected to have the new piers plac-
ed for the approaches on either end
Of the bridge in before they were
hindered by the high water. New
decking of concrete is also contem-
plated, although the contracts for
this part of the job will not be call
ed for until early summer, Mr..
Stinson said. ..I V
A recent trip to Olympia supplied
the information that Director Muir
row was planning to call for new
bids on portions of the North Bank
highway this summer, although
some of the funds were being held
in case Of flood emergency this
spring over on the coast.
The chamber indicated its willing
ness to assist as much as possible in
securing a surfaced road from
Eureka to Burbank, in walla walla
county. Kennewick and Pasco bust
ness houses receive a considerable
amount of trade from his section
and the road would also provide a
marketing outlet to the river for
the wheat raised in that section.

and much of the preliminary work
has been cleaned up. %sa-'

of the work, is anxious to rush the
job as speedily as possible and
states that as fast as the MRS cards
are issued new men can be put to
work. There seems to be some diff
ficulty in getting the cards releas-
ed from the Prosser office, but in
dications are now, Mr.. Hartman
says, that they will be coming thru
faster.
