CITY PLANST TO
INTRODUCE
SIDE PARKING
New Traffic Ordinance to
Limit Parking Time on
Main Street; to Bar Bikes
in Business Zone

Possibly the snow and slippery
streets has had something to do
with speeding up the passage Of q
new traffic ordinance. At any rate,
the city is planning to put some
drastic changes into effect.
The parallel parking rule and the
arterial stops viii be the most i'm
portant. Under the new ordinance,
angle parking win be permitted on
only three cross streets-Auburn
one block on Benton, and Cascade
streets. All other streets parallel
parking will be the rule, both in the
business and residence sections.
Stop streets viii be all arterial
lanes. This viii include Washing
ton street for its full length, Ken
newick Ave. for its full length, the
state highway for its full length
Benton street from Kennewick
Avenue to the highway, and Fruit
land from Kennewick Avenue to the
highway.
Another provision In the ordin-
ance which received its first read
ing Tuesday night. win be prohibit
ing bicycles on Kennewick Avenue
between Washington and Cascade
streets, either for parking or riding
on the sidewalks.
Reluctant to drive the bike riders
into the streets, the city will pro-
hibit parking on the main streets
in the three business blocks. On
other streets, riders viii be permit
ted to ride on the walks, with pc
destrians having the right Of way at
ali times. In case Of accidents, the
police will be empowered to impound
the bicycle involved.
Another new feature included in
the new traffic ordinance will be a
two hour parking limit. This will
drive the cars of clerks and other
business house employees off the
streets and permit freer access by
the country people. No longer will
the brave fire laddies be subjected
to the danger Of being thrown from
the fire truck, when the new ordin-
ance takes effect, for speed limit
will be set upon the fire equipment.
A two hour parking limit in the
three business blocks parallel park
ing on all but q few side streets,
prohibition Of bike riding on the
walks, and additional stop rules are
to be the features Of the new traf-
fic ordinance, which will go into
effect following final passage at
the next meeting.

Health Officer l.. @. Spaulding this
morning stated that he thought the
epidemic of flu had reached It's

opinion was that the schools could
reopen Monday unless the severe
cold made 1t impossible to keep the
children comfortable at the school
house.
In the meantime arrangements
are being made to start school again
Monday and the children are noti-
fled to be ready when the buses

REACH QUOTA
IN FUND FOR
FLOOD RELIEF
Half of C0unty's $1,000 Al
lotment Raised in Kenne-
wick; Response is Crafty
ing to Red Cross

Most gratifying have been the
collections locally for the flood re.
lief work being handled by the Ma.
tional Red Cross, according to re-
port made this noon at the cham
Der of commerce by Geo. D. Peters
local representative.
The drive being handled by the
Fraternal Order Of Eagles, turned
over to Mr.. Peters for transmission
to the Yakima chapter totalled just
under four hundred dollars, with q
prospect that before night the othe,
hundred of Kennewick's share OF
the quota would be raised.
The collections came in in
amounts of from one dollar to fifty,
many checks for ten dollars being
received. Many Of the donors. too
sent checks directly to the Yakima
chapter which contacted previous
donors directly by letter. Consid-
ering these contributions, it is likely
that the quota for this section has
already been raised. Most other
sections of the country have made
the same splendid response to the
appeal from the stricken areas. Fur
Their requests are likely as a more
complete check Of the damage ap-
pears.
OF the amount reported this noon,
about fifty dollars was contributed
by residents of the Highlands, the
collection being handled by the
Highland grange.
The chamber of commerce this
noon passed a resolution expressing
appreciation to all those who con-
tributed or had a part in the col
lection of funds and to the Eagles
lodge in particular.
