Commissioners
Discuss State Gas
Tax and Pensions

A definite pay-as-you-go plan
seemed to meet the approval of the
county commissioners in regard to
old age pensions, as reported by
Jay Perry, who has just returned
from the state meeting held on the
coast. Considerable pressure was
brought by the King County group
to have the full $4,000 per month
paid in all cases and search. for
methods of raising the money later.
While this scheme was not generally
favored by commissioners from 9TH
er sections, it was one of the larger
items under consideration, and was
discussed at considerable length. It
will be the plan to use what money
is actually available and apportion
it in such manner to properly bene-
fit the greatest number of eligible
people, who actually need the as
SiStance.
The 10000 plan Of distribution
of state gas tax money was discussed
but no recommendation either for
or against this plan was or will be
made. The commissioners were
provided with charts showing the
actual distribution Of gas tax funds
to the state, county and city under
the present plan accompanied by
distribution according to the 40-40-
20 plan and the only counties In
which the city's apportionment
would increase would be King
Pierce and Spokane. In Benton
County the county itself would lose
in excess of $4,000 per year in road
money and the cities of the county
would receive about $4,000 more
than is received under the present
plan. This $4,000 would be dis.
tributed to all the municipalities il
the county.
| The medical and dental services O.
the counties as outlined in the So
cial Security Act will be retained
under individual county plans, &C
cording to Mr.. Perry, as no actor
was taken by the commissioners a
this meeting to set up a uniform
plan for the entire state.

Benton County
Utility Project
Allotted $4,000
Electric Service to be
Available for County
Farms Soon

Actual construction on the first
unit under the Benton County Util-
ity District will start very soon" was
the comment of Guy j. Story direct
or from this end of the county. s'The
contracts will be let within a week
or ten days and construction will
be started Immediately" The FORE
going statement was prompted by
the receipt of a telegram from SEN
ator Lewis B. Schwellenbach con-
firming a grant by the REA to be
loaned to prospective consumers
under the new district for wiring
homes preparatory to receiving the
electric service. 49, ID
Mr.. Story described the unit to
be developed as consisting of As
miles of transmission line costing
about $45, 1000 to serve the territory
lying north of Prosser and west of
Benton City. In the area so included
are about $50 families for whom
electric service will be made avail
able, of which 40 have applied fol-
this loan and the. balance, or 11C
families, will secure the electric SER
vice without government aid. The
grant made to which Schwellen-
bach's telegram concerned is in the
amount of $4,000 which provides
500 per family to cover wiring
plumbing, etc., required to receive
service. This amount is in the
form of a loan to the families fol
which they give their personal
notes, which notes are underwriters
by the REA.
The whole scheme is cooperative
in it's conception, and a contract ha!
been entered into with Pacific Pow
er & Light company for purchase o
power for this unit for distribution
Under the terms Of the contract
service will be supplied the users a
two set rates Glass A users will pa.
a minimum Of $3.50 per month 70
the first 80 XIV and &c per XIV 70
lany consumption above that amount
Class B users will have q minimum
monthly rate Of $3.50, and this ser
vice will be lights only and is plan
ned for two and three room home!

Soup for the School
Riddles

.
Soup for the kiddieS has claimed
the interest and time OF a goodly
number of local citizens, both mas
culine and feminine, for the pro-
duction of the Pseudo-minstrel show
Here Comes the Showboat," TO be
presented Monday evening, Novem-
Der % at the high school auditorium.
The Kiwanis club has been the
sponsor of soup for the grade school
youngsters for several years to the
extent of underwriting any losses
sustained thru serving to those who
were not financially able to partake.
When the thermometer drops to zero
1--WE hope it won't) the MONDAY bowl
of soup is what keeps the Riddles
healthy, and the Kiwanians and
their many helpers want to keep the
soup pot simmering.
The demand is heavy for the free
dish this year and the club decided
on the show to raise the money and
have some fun doing it. A Kiwanis
committee consisting Of Head-man
Erv Black, vane Wilder, Charlie
Powell and Frank Maupin, assisted
by Misses Virgil Hopkins and Hazel
Belle POINTER and Ed Mcdowell OF
the faculty, are hard at work with
night rehearsals from seven to
eight-thirty each evening whipping
the show into something to tickle
the public.

Cleopatra the colored cook aboard
the Showboat when she inspires and
leads the Jubilee Singers. Corston
Green patters from dawn to dusk
as the barker and ticket seller while
Larry Oliver guides the destinies
of his players as Captain Of the
Showboat. The adopted daughter
of the captain and the pet Of the
show is "Sippy," to be played by
Evalyn Koelker. Hal Stanton, play
ed by vane Wilder, is the love inter-
est, and his father, Colonel Stanton,
the mean banker is played by Ed
Neuman. MIR. Wilder and Mrs. Keol-
ker in their roles, hold UP the sing
ing end in a very pleasing manner.
Other cast members are John Neu-
man as Happy, the property man;
Catherine Maupin as Martha FRS
bee, lady Mayor of Riverport; Mrs.
Harry Love as widow from st.
Louis; Floyd Hutchins as the sher-
Tiff; Ben Galligan as the heavy"
actor; Margaret Galligan as the
stage-struck flapper; and Betty
Howard and Ed Webber as Doris
and Tom, interested members Of the
prospective showboat audience.
The show is alive with tuneful and
interesting songs both by the indi-
vidual characters and a mixed
chorus, including Kiwanians and
, members of the Schubert Club, and
promises its visitors real evenings
, entertainment. The sponsors OF the
. show are taking advantage of the
5 large seating capacity of the high
