Sewer Engineer
Says OK to
New Addition
Facilities adequate to
handle all increases
now in sight

There need be no hitch in Ken
newick's expansion program be-
cause of a lack of sewer facil-
tiles, according to preliminary
report made Tuesday night to the
city council by the engineers re-
Gently employed by the city to
investigate the situation. While
the report was not complete, ow-
ing to lack of data, the engineer
in charge stated that he was sure
that the present facilities were
adequate to handle everything
now in prospect. -
The engineer was informed of
the three hundred or so new resi-
dences now in prospect by private
builders, as well as the two hum
dred unit just authorized by the
public housing authority. He was
especially consulted regarding the
proposed addition east of town
where some Sky odd residences
are to be built in new addition
on Mob Hill. This unit was con-
sidered quite feasible with the
present facilities extended to that
section.
Before another council meeting
each member will be provided
a complete map showing the pos
sibilities of each branch line, so
that further extensions can be
estimated.
In the meantime the promoters
of the addition are assembling
materials and plan to rush COM
pletion as rapidly as possible on
the job, confident that the area
will be included within the city
limits when the proposition is put
before the voters at a special
election to be called as soon as
practicable.

Board Bans Swimming
In River and Ditch

It's a good thing summer is
about over, for kids and grownups
who like to swim are finding their
favorite spots along the river and
ditch bank posted with warning
notices. This week the Benton
Franklin Health department put
up placards along the ditch and
the Columbia river from the
mouth of the Yakima to the mouth
of the Snake. .....
Repeated tests show that the
Columbia is contaminated, the
health office reports and is un-
safe to swim in. Consequently
the posting of the signs. The
ditch is especially unsafe, a large
bacterial count showing up in
samples taken from that source,
the departments reports. So
even if there is no hickory limb,
don't go near the water. 80

Paterson Area
Scheduled as
Navy Range
Government to Use
26O, 900 Acres for
Training Program

A plan for naval leasing of ap-
proximately 100000 acres in
southern Benton and eastern
Klickitat counties for use as an
aerial gunnery range was an
nounced today by Capt. c. A. F.
Sprague, comrnandant of the naval
air center in Seattle. e. q
The announcement from COM
mandant's headquarters said,
without elaboration: Leasing OF
the land provides for the con-
tinuance of the naval air station
at Pasco as a training base for
fleet aircraft instead of for pri-
mary training. Acquisition of this
land will assure continuous train
ing of aerial gunners in both the
east and west portions of the state
to meet the navy's accelerated
program" NJ j.
Capt. Sprague reported approx
al of the large lease by the senate
and house naval affairs commit
tees and the secretary of the navy.
Richard Putnam, civilian repre-
sentative of the bureau of yards
and docks in Washington, D. c.,
has established headquarters at
Pasco to complete negotiations
with owners and lessees.
Appraisal of the many proper
ties involved is under way. The
tract is designated as the Paterson
ridge acquisition.

Look for 500
Increase i'm
Grade Schools
Facilities ready for
increased school
population

A cursory survey of the school
population in this area indicates
about fifty percent increase in
the grade schools, Supt. E. S.
Black estimates. This will require
facilities for upwards of two hum
dred additional pupils in the low
er grades.
However, preparations are be-
ing made to handle this number
with a provision or two-the big
gest problem being that of OBJ
tanning enough teachers to handle
the additional enrolment. In the
meantime, Black reports that he
has a full staff now engaged. That
is, a full staff based upon last
years enrolment. Some thirty
one teachers are now hired. There
have been one Or two designations
in the past week or two Black
reports, as the teachers have come
here to investigate the housing
situation.
In order to keep the teachers
now on the rolls, Mr.. Black is
making an especially urgent APP
peal to the patrons of the district
to really put themselves out so
that the teachers may find place
to stay. He points out that the
teachers must be housed and fed
and that they are not duPonters
by any means, as the school bud
gets are still where they were be-
fore the extra furry arrived.
Anyone who can make room for
a teacher or two is urged to call
Secretary Margaret Reymore at
the school just as soon as possible.
The teachers would like to be
boarded, too, if possible, but if
only room is available, please
give the teachers first chance at
it. ..->
School will open, as per sched-
ule on Monday, August 80, as has
been the custom. Mr.. Black is
asking that patrons be patient for
a day or two with the bus sched-
ues, as there is but little informa-
ton upon which to guage the re-
quirements. AS last year, the
seven buses will be operated, the
four larger ones making two trips
morning and evening. Should
this be not enough assurances
have been received from the du-
Points that suitable arrangements
will be made to handle the in
creased loads.
The athletic program will be re-
sumed this year as usual, with
Roger Jones in charge of the foot
ball squad assisted by Ray Nor
mile. In basketball, the positions
will be reversed, with Normile
in charge and Jones assisting.
Prospects this year are for small
er teams, not only here but thru
out the conference as the older
boys have all left for war activi-
ties.

2OO-Unit Housing
Project Authorized
For KenneWick
Government to build
emergency housing for
project workers

A two-hundred unit public
housing project has been author
lied for Kennewick, according to
word received by the local housing
committee on Saturday of last
week. The committee had made
application for a five hundred
unit several months ago. The
actual authorization has not yet
been received from Washington,
but the state authorities have
written that the project has been
officially approved.
Under the setup, the govern
ment can condemn suitable To-
cations by lease for the duration.
The government will construct the
units-which will probably be
four family houses, such as have
already been built at Pasco. The
government also provides all IA
cilities, even to furnishing some
of the houses. ~.
The buildings are of temporary
construction and will be removed
after the emergency requirements
have been met. They will be 10
Gated upon sites selected by
the local committee under approx
al from the state authorities. 1t
will require about fifteen or eigh-
teen acres, according to the ar
rangement of the Pasco unit to
construct the fifty four-family
dwellings. Preferably, the build
ings will be on one tract, but
not necessarily. Several sites are
under consideration.
The local committee was ap-
pointed by Mayor A. G. Anon
and consists of Les Babcock,
chairman, P. G. Richmond, H. E.
Oliver, H. A. Linn and r. E. Reed.

Passenger service on an expert

order by the State Corporation Com

Ending the much discussed ques-
ton of passenger service on the
line between Rosslyn and Leesburg,

commission hearing in Richmond.
still leaves in doubt the question of
whether the railroad will be able
to locate the necessary equipment.
Under the terms of the commits
sions order, the Associated Press
reported, the railroad was requested
to continue to make "diligent ef-
forts" to obtain the passenger
equipment and to report at least
every 80 days the results of such
efforts. II the equipment is found
the line was ordered to install i'm.

The order said the railroad ap-
peared to have made diligent efforts
to locate passenger equipment and
requested the Office of Defense
Transportation to assist the line in
its search.
Testimony concerning these ef-
forts on the part of the railroad
was offered at the hearing by G. c.

time of melting down some of the
Capitals statues, but this never got
beyond talk and was denounced
roundly. The success of the Nation
wide scrap drive has made the i'm
mediate needs of the steel furnaces
less acute, 1t was pointed out,
although salvage will continue
steadily.
Disclosure that some Of the old
guns would be melted up for scrap
aroused immediate interest among
patriotic and historical organizations
in Washington, which indicated they
would like to be consulted in the
matter.
Officials of the Sons of the Amer
ican Revolution referred the matter
this morning to special committee
which began study of the question.
Careful Study Urged.
John Clagett Proctor, who is chair
man of the District Committee on
Historical Sites, appointed by the
District Commission, said:
This matter ought to be gone over
very carefully, before it is finally
decided to melt up any of those old
cannon. Some of them no doubt
ought to be preserved. In case there
are duplicates, 1t might be possible
to let some go, and save one typical
