City Adds Three
New Voting !.
Precincts. ! in all
Heavy registration is
cause of new action (;
change ward lines

We're getting too big for our
britches.
Election time some of the pre-
cincts were still counting ballots
26 hours after the last noble citi-
zen had cast his ballot. State
law, to prevent such situations,
orders voting precincts split when
more than $50 are registered. In
the recent elections Kennewick' S
four precincts each had more than
300, with the third having 488
on the books.
Now the city is to have seven
voting precincts. The first ward
is divided into two voting units;
the second ward will have three,
and the third ward two. This
action was taken by the city upon
request from the county that the
precincts be divided before an
other election and the special
committee made the above recon-
mendation, together with their
boundaries at Tuesday nights
meeting of the council.
At the committees suggestion
each of the precincts will have a
public building as a voting place,
except in the third ward.
The division of the precincts
also makes provision for the pro-
posed inclusion of the Green
Homes addition, should that pro-
ject become a part of the munich
pality in the future.
A slight change in the bound
airy lines between the first and
second wards was also included
in the councils actions Tuesday.
The dividing line as now projected
will be Benton street from the MP
tracks south to the canal, along
the canal to Washington street,
thence south to the city limits.
The former division was Benton
street to the city limits, which
now would run into the housing
project where the streets are at
an angle.

Pledges for Hospital
May be Paid Now

The hospital committee wishes
again to call attention to the fact
that donations to Kennewick's
new hospital are legal deductions
from income tax returns. They
suggest that pledges be paid be-
fore the first of the year in order
to take, advantage of the deduc-
tions allowed.
The pledge cards are at the
Harold G. Fyfe Agency office
where receipts will be issued for
payment. New pledges, of course
are also greatly desired as the
pledge list is far short of the re-
quired $4,000 which must be
raised locally before the hospital
can get under way.
