COuncil1men Shy
From Voting Pay
For Themselves
Recent "bundles" cam
paign recalled; next
year plan will be legal

Mindful of a recent bundles
for congressmen" campaign result
ing from congress voting pensions
for members who failed to get re
elected, the city council decided to
postpone passing an ordinance Gre
ating pay for themselves.
Dnder a recently passed law, pro-
Vision for payment of councilmen
and mayors has been made legal in
cities of this class. Last fall at bud
get time, the local council provided
an item in the budget for payment
for their services, but whether ii
was legal to accept pay was being
fought out in the courts the first
Of the year. Recently a decision
has been handed down which per-
mits the payment, but only to
councilmen who were elected after
the law was passed. This cuts out
all Kennewick,s present aldermen,
three of whom have been elected for
four year terms.
Next year, however, 1t viii be an
other matter, for in the meantime
there will be another election and
even If the short term members are
reelected, they win be eligible for
the stipend.

Council Discusses
Plans for City
Water Extension
Talk deal to buy supply
from Highlands
domestic system

The long discussed plan for tax
ing over the domestic water system
popped up in the council Tuesday
night again. This time there was
a new angle. Mindful of all the talk
about q great influx of population
in this area, an extension of the
city limits to the west has been
suggested. -.
The suggested extension would in
clude the area from the Bremmer
Service station-pres west limits
Ito the Kadow corner at the top of
the hill. This would include the old
golf course, now considered the dis
trictis most desirable residential
area.
Because the city could purchase
at wholesale rates, water from the
Highlands system, cheaper than it
could pump. the plan suggested was
to make some such deal with the
ultimate idea of taking over the en-
tire domestic system now operated
by the power company.
There was no action taken on the
suggestion, nor even any plans made
for extending the city limits, but
was suggested as a possible means
Of expansion for the future.
The city is also planning to par
ticipate in a planning council, to-
gether with representatives from
Pasco, the county, state and fed
eral representatives.

Capt. Tom Brown
Says KenneWick
Ideal Airport Site
Has just returned from
flight to Washington;
sees parents on trip

An interesting letter from Capt.
Tommy Brown, who is stationed at
FeltS Field. Spokane. states that he
has Just returned from a flying trip
to washington, d. c., returning by
way OF FL PaSo, Texas and Los An
geles. He says things are hum
ming at the capital where it Is q
turmoil of activity.
"I have flown over KennewicS
several times lately" his letter con-
tinues, usually at a rather high al
titude and we are now using a type
of aircraft which requires a good
airdrome for landing. I have always
felt that Kennewick Is an ideal To-
cation for an airdrome inaSmuch as
it is centrally located with respect
to other army bases in this area and
also that it possesses good flying
weather in contrast with the coast
region,
TT seems 10 me, that with the
current air corps expansion now be-
ing undertaken, your city should
have no difficulty in securing the
assignment of an army unit should
adequate airport facilities be provid-
ed. If I can be Of any assistance in
any way possible in this respect,
please do not hesitate to let me
know in what manner I may help"
Capt. Brown had apparently not
heard that Kennewick's new air.
port site had been leased to the
Sand Point naval station, who ex-
pect to develop its facilities within
the very near future.
He saw his parents in Los Angeles.
Said they were enjoying their vaca-
ton, but that he would not be sur
prised to hear that they had decid-
ed to return to Kennewick In q
month or so.

Lions Close Casaba
Season in Tourney
Blow Up at Wapato
Lose to Ellensbulrg
and Cashmere; missed
many shots

The Kennewick Lions didn't look
at all like Southern Glass "A" cham
pions in Wapato last Friday night
to the better misunderstanding by a
count of IS to %. Saturday night the
Lions journed back to Wapato to
meet Cashmere, and lost the most
distasteful game of the year by a
count of 10 to II. The Lions team
play was of the usual good form,
but their shooting was nothing short
of terrible. The home towners had
exactly 81 good shots at the basket
and dumped the big sum of 4 for
an average of 78 percent. The
yearly average for the Lions ran
near Is percent or 1 made for every
four shots attempted. The tourna-
ment play for%the Lions was one of
a "heartbreak" nature to those who
were connected with the team, par
ticularly to Coach sNormile after
the second successful season at the
helm for the Lions. So much for
the tournament and outside of it the
Lions had a very successful season
and we wish the boys luck for their
seasons in the future. . =.
The, following boys played their
Swan song" as far as competition is
concerned last Friday in Wapato:
Sid Brownell, diminutive guard,
Bill Hoppy, guard; Allen Smith, for
ward; Arthur Evett, forward and
Gavin Jones, forward. These boys
have been regulars for the bigger
part of the season; therefore Coach
Normile will have one regular back
for next season and that being Asa
Hays, however, Lorin Aman has
been in the game so much that he
might be classified a semi-regular
but he started few games. There
fore, next season the coach will
have the task of building a winning
combination out of the following
reserves: Bill Kirk, Lorin Aman, Ed
CARRIER, Calvin Liebel, Wallace
Preston, Robert Lewis and Buster
Faulds. Hays being the only starter
back for the 42-43 season.
