THE LEGISLATURE proposes to
reenact the referendum requirement
on other county bond issues. This
means that no large scale road, park,
public building or other bond issue
program can be enacted into law
without submission to the voters on
the ballot. Continuation of this re-
quirement in the county law seems
actually to insure the protection
that those opposed to bond issues
have asked and the proposed exemp-
tons seem both equitable and econom-
ical.

Grass Price for
Cannery Not Yet
Decided Upon
Competition from Calf.
is Determining Factor
in Deal

The grass canning is still up ir
the air, no price having as yet beer
set by the California Gamers. ano
Mrs. Kitten, OF the local plant Is
undecided as to the amount to be
processed here this year.
Reports indicate that there is a
greatly increased production Of the
green grass from the California dis
tricts this year, which fact coupled
with the carryover of last years
pack, does not make the prospects
any too bright for this years oper-
alton, she states.
In the meantime the cannery is
running this week on an excellent
spinach crop and will continue for
another week or ten days accord
ing to present plans. BY that time
1t Is hoped that more definite in
formation can be secured regarding
the grass.
Representatives OF the American
Can Co. were In Kennewick today
comforting with Mrs. Kitten and
they report prospects for the sale
Of the canned grass as better than
last year, but not good enough to
plunge on. @ss ~ @
