Wide Variations i'm
WB Land Values
Shown in Court
Land owners protest
prices set on upriver
farms and homes

Hearings on the appeal Of the
Hanford-White Bluffs land con-
domination cases have been heard
in federal court in Yakima this
week. Government appraisers
figures, complained about as far
too low, were heard by the court
as opposed to the valuations set
by the owners who have been dis
possessed.
Wide variations occurred in the
figures quoted by each side. On a
20-acre tract owned by w. F.
Shaw in the White Bluffs area,
the government appraisal was
$500 to S4100. Shaw placed
value of $1,000 on his tract, while
L. A. Codding, another White
Bluffs grower, valued the land at
$4,000. II. T. Taylor Of Yakima
valued il at $10,500.
j. I. Preissner, r. E. Denslow
and II. w. Humphrey, appraisers
for the federal land bank in Spo-
kane, which set the government
figures, placed the value of a five
acre unimproved tract belonging
to c. /. Wright at $25. Wright
valued it at $3.50 and said the land
could be brought under cultiva-
ton easily. Other values placed
on the land We're $500 by John
Holechek, $500 by Jay Perry and
$500 by B. Salvini.
Alex Parke, whose 20-acre fruit
farm at White Bluffs was also
taken over by the government,
testified that the place was worth
S36,470. Government appraisers
had previously set $4,000 and
S13,250 on the same tract.
The cases went to the jury this
afternoon and as yet no word has
been received as to the verdicts.

Commission 10
Hold Hearinu
Monday Night
Seek sanitation mea-
sures along river above
water intakes -:

Citizens of Kennewick and the
Highlands, interested in improv-
ing the quality of the municipal
drinking water are urged to be
present at a hearing at the city
hall next Monday night. Upon
application of the city Planning
Commission the County Planning
Commission will hold the hearing
with the purpose of urging the
county and state to take steps to-
ward eliminating the dumping of
sewage into the river above the
intakes of the local water sys-
TENS.
After an inspection of the con.
ditions along the river road. the
state sanitarian suggested action
toward having proper facilities in
stalled within not less than 100
feet of the river as a method of
preventing large portion of the
contamination. Along with such
action is the request that the two
municipalities, the city and the
Highlands, install filtration plants
at the earliest possible moment.
DIR. r. w. Ripley, health Off
Ger for Benton and Franklin coun-
ties, appeared before the chamber
of commerce this noon to explain.
the situation. He, too, urged that
regardless of other actions, mea-
sures be taken to have the filtra-
ton plants installed. He made the
statement that the sewage dispo-
sal plants at both Hanford and
Richland were treating the over
flow before permitting entry into
the river and that contamina-
ton from these sources, there
fore, was negligible. He also stat
ed that disposal plants would be
required of other communities
farther up the river as soon as
construction was possible and that
eventually Kennewick and Pasco
would be faced with similar
demand.
Members of the chamber in the
discussion which followed DR..
Ripley's talk, were emphatic on
the point that the trailers were
wanted and that no action taken
should give the impression that
the district was interesting in hav-
ing them removed. Only thought
was that of improving the condi-
ton of the drinking water.

Captured Thief
ConfesSes 10
Local Robberies
Series of thefts ends
with arrest; local lad
implicated in jobs

Last week the local police force
had an exciting climax to the
series of robberies which proceed
ed. A burglar was found in the
office at the Potlatch Lumber Co.
office and the policeman emptied
his revolver at the thief. Leav-
ing for re-inforcements, the thief
got away. Since that time the
series of robberies has ceased.
Monday word came from The
Dalles that a thief had been cap
tured in store there. His de-
scription fitted the Kennewick
suspect and after grilling he adj
mitted that he had entered six
places here and two at Pasco. His
confession involved a local boy
who dug up some of the loot.
The thief, Earl Gaddis Wooley,
10, was also a deserter from the
navy. He enlisted from the Ken
newick Highlands early in AZ and
has been sought by navy officials
since.
His accomplice is being held
in the local Jail pending the ar
rival of Wooley. He claims not
to have been implicated in the
series here, but Wooley claims
he was with him in the office
at the Patlatch Yards and also
on several other occasions.
