The timid soul Will be glad to know that each
heating plant is protected by number automatic
safety devices, and in three years there has not
been single call for the fire department occasion
ed by accidents to the heating system. All houses

Field Man Urges
More Action for
High Line Unit
Bureau has two men on
job gathering data con-
corning project to sub
nit to department

Prospective development of the
Kennewick division of the Yakima
reclamation project was discussed
Tuesday afternoon in a meeting of
F. o. Hag1e of Washington, D. c.,
secretary-manager of the National
Reclamation association, and j. S.
Moore, superintendent of the Yaki-
ma project, with the board of di-
rectors of the Kennewick irrigation
district.
A desire to have work started on
the construction of the Kennewick
division AS soon as possible was ex-
pressed by the board. The division
originally comprised 10000 acres,
but as approximately 1000 acres
have been developed provision
would have to made for $4,000 acres
of land.
The bureau of reclamation has
two men on the division, one CLASH
flying the land and the other gath
ering information on the economic
feasibility of irrigation develop
ment. The board members were
DESTROYS that when the report of
these men is completed the merits
of the development desired be given
consideration by the bureau.

Kennewick Avenue. The city
council Tuesday evening passed an
ordinance to this effect, with the
hope that this traffic can be kept
off the main street. With the
double lane of parked cars making
the traffic lane too narrow anyway,
the complication of bicycle travel
makes a dangerous situation. In the
hopes of preventing accidents, the
council has drafted this new ordi-
nance. "a. .5.H.s A.. @...=. =. ..
The law still forbids riding on the
south side of the street and even
the parking of bikes on that side.
Parents should cooperate with the
city officials in enforcing this Or
dinance. s--~ .--.a

Mayor Speculates Upon Problems
Facinu Successor so Years Hence

An interesting field of speculation
is opened by the stunt Monday at
the Prosser States Day ceremonies.
In dedicating the Indian monu-
ment at the park there, sealed box
was set in concrete. Inside the box
were letters from prominent men
in this section of the state, includ-
ing the mayors of the nearby towns,
addressed to their successors fifty
years from now. C.. A. Crawford,
for instance, addressed letter to
his successor fifty years hence.
Just what sort of a world will the
new mayor be living in? Will he
have the problems facing the world
and each little part of it, as we
have today? Will there be unem-
ployment troubles here fifty years
from now? How big will our munich
pality be N so years? Or will there
be what we know as a town here
at all?
Is it likely that the citizens of
that day will need to spend so
much of their money on street i'm
provements. fire departments, po-
lice forces? Or will there even be
any such thing as money? Many
people today think that some new
form of exchange is sure to follow
the upheaval now taking place in
Europe.
Will a new form of transportation
make road improvements useless?
Development of aerial transporta-
ton is making the same tremendous
strides in this war as it did in the
last. Perhaps after hostilities have
ceased We'll all be riding around
in air flivVerS.
New improvements in construc-
ton may make disastrous fire

Highlanders to
Hear Refinancing
Plan Discussed
Special meeting of proper
ty owners to be held at
club house on Monday,
September 16

HighlanderS-property owners I'M
der the Kennewick Irrigation Dis
trict-vitally interested in the
plans for refinancing should all at
tend special meeting on Monday,
September 16, when the plans will
be explained.
The proposition involves the is
suance of $252,OOO in bonds to re-
place those now outstanding, and
shortly to become due. Unless the
plans are successful, the district
faces an increase of five to six dol
lars per acre per year in addition to
the present water charges.
In 1881 the district issued $218,-
900 in bonds for the purchase of
the dam and water rights on the
Yakima river at Prosser.
Three years later another issue of
$4,000 was issued to complete the
distribution system and in 1886 an
other issue of $1,000 was authoriz-
ed to rebuild the domestic water
oySUCl1l Gl1C WIZ llllS plO-
ject involved the relaying of TO-
900 feet Of domestic water mains
and has been of great value in re-
ducing losses and increasing the
efficiency of the plant.
These issues totaled $265 900, up
on which $4,000 has already been
paid, leaving an unpaid balance Of
$252, 900. The proposition now be-
fore the residents is to reissue this
amount spreading the payments
over longer period, enabling the
district to make the bond pay
ments without increasing the an
nual water charges.
All these details will be explain
ed at the meeting arranged for
Monday night September 16 at the
clubhouse Every property owner
in the district should attend the
meeting and become completely in
formed upon the proposition before
the special election, notice for which
is published elsewhere in this is
