City Asks for
New Street
Lighting Contract

The main order OF business OF
the City Council was q further dis
cussion Of the extension Of the lines
OF the Columbia Irrigation District.
(For details see last weeks issue OF
the Courier-Reporter) ..a..
One OF the main drawbacks was
removed, as far as the council was
concerned when IL was announced
that the irrigation company would
take care Of all collections Of assess
ments, thus saving the City the ex-
pense of this added work.
The City Attorney was instructed
to draw up petitions, outlining the
new improvement district and have
such petitions ready for signing by
the fore part OF August. It will be
necessary for signatures to be on by
October / in order that the assess
ment work may be completed by the
time the Irrigation Company pre-
pares its budget Tor the next year.
To Cancel Assessments
It was announced that the city
could save some money by cancel
ling assessments on Drainage Dis
trict No. IL. The reason for such
cancellation is that the assessments
were made to retire bonds OF the
drainage district. All bonds have
been paid in full and the reason for
the assessments no longer stances.
The City Attorney was instructed
to go ahead with measures for the
cancellation Of the assessments.
p. r. & L. Contract Expires
It was announced that the con-
tract with the Pacific Power a. Light
company for street lighting had ex-
pired and a new contract should be
considered Roy Skill, local man
ager for the p. p. g. l.. promised to
have a new contract d rawn up for
presentation at the next meeting.
The council decided to have a dis
cussion regarding rates and service
with the company before the new
contract is signed.
Sprinkling rather than irrigation
of lawns was discussed and the
power company stated they would be
glad to present a sprinkling rate
provided enough people were inter-
ested In it. The council would be
glad to have your viewpoint. Many
believe that much OF the weed prob
lem in Kennewick lawns would be
eliminated were the residents OF this
city to use the city water system for
their lawns.
I. N. Mueller Resigns
The resignation OF I. N. Mueller OF
the city park b GARD was presented
and accepted with deep regret. Mr..
Mueller stated that the cause OF his
resignation was due to i'll health.
His presence on the park board win

Kiwanians Hear
State History

tereSt1ng history OF the State OF
Washington at this weeks meeting
Of the Kiwanis club. He made the
presentation human and gave many
facts not found in our average his
tory books.
He began by stating that the his
tory Of the State Of Washington Is
the history Of the Oregon Territory
which included everything from the
Rocky mountains to the Pacific
ocean. He traced In brief the his
tory Of the country from Magellan
to the time Washington reached its
statehood.
One Of the greatest contributions
to the exploration Of the country
now known as Washington was
made by Geo. Vancouver, who NAM
ed most of the mountains and
streams in this country, said DR..
Stone. He named Mount Hood and
Mount Rainier. In fact so or more
names that he gave to places still
stand as the names Of those points
in the State Of Washington.
DR.. Stone stated that the Lewis
and Clarke expedition did more to
establish the claims Of the United
States to this territory than did any
other exploring party. This group
did an outstanding piece Of explor-
alton due to the fact that they not
only traversed the territory twice,
but they did it without the loss Of
life Of any single member Of the
party.
A humorous incident was cited by
DR.. Stone when he said that negro
servant of Captain Lewis and an UNI
known violinist In the party enabled
Captains Lewis and Clark to hold
friendly meetings with the Indians.
Both negro and violinist intrigued
the savages who had never seen q
negro or violin before. One member
Of the party states that at the fork
of the Snake and Columbia rivers
the negro danced on his head to
violin music much to the astonish-
ment and pleasure Of the Indians.
We would think that the negro lived
before his day for he would have
been potential talent for Major
Bowes were he alive in our century.
DR.. Stone stated that the William
cite Valley was settled q number Of
years before California, this valley
being the focal point for the pion-
GERS who first came over the Oregon
Trail. One year 5000 came into the
valley to settle. When gold was dis
covered In California the VILLAIN
cite Valley lost about half its popu-
lation.
In closing DR.. Stone stated that
the most over-rated Of the early
explorers was Captain Bonneville.
He did nothing Of value In explor-
alton, but achieved fame because he
became q hero Of an early novel
dealing with the settlement OF the
Oregon territory.
It was announced at the opening
Of the meeting that the club would
act as q committee as whole In
supplying the program for the bal
ance Of the summer months. Next
week. Dr.. W. G. Herrstrom, world
traveller and radio preacher, who 4
tn conduct q week Of meetings u
Kennewick, win be the speaker ct
the meeting. Cecil Anderson wa
picked TO provided the program ion

D. C. CODE REVISION
URGED BY GERTMAN
Asks District Women's Bar Asso'
citation to Support Bill Pro-
vidinp for Study,

Revision Of many features Of the
District code to bring it up to date
were urged last night by George c.
Gertman, secretary Of the District Of
Columbia Bar Association, in an ad-
dress before approximately 80 mem
bers Of the District Women's Bar As
ISOLATION at a dinner at Wesley Hall.
Stating that a bill already has been
drafted providing for restatement and
codification Of District laws, Gertman
urged support Of the legislation. The
bill would provide for creation Of q
commission Of three members, ap-
pointed by the President, to study the
code and submit recommendations for
changes to the judges Of the United
States District Court.
Theodore Cogswell, register of wills
for the District, pointed out that pres
ent probate laws are obsolete in many
respects and, in discussing proposed
changes, declared revisips would prove
both time-saving and less expensive
in the administration Of estates.
"At present." he said, cit takes from
one to three years to settle an estate.
This period could be reduced to six
months"
A panel discussion followed the two
addresses.

down our speed Of travel that 1t was
clear we could not make Springfield
that night. Well, come to think Of
1t. why should we care whether we
made Springfield for the night or not?
Obviously. trying to make Springfield
was an atavistic throwback to the
mental habits Of pretrailer civiliza-
ton. We could travel as far as we
cared to go, comfortably by daylight,
pick out q slightly place by the side
Of the road-preferably with a creek
singing past our migratory doorstep,
and big trees to give Us sense Of
sheltered comfort. That was what
trailers were for: To avoid the neces-
sity Of getting anywhere at any partic-
