Ask H0usehOlders to
Apply Now for Fuel Oil

Householders of Kennewick
were urged today by Mr.. Ridley.
chairman of the local OPA War
Price and Rationing Board, to re-
turn their next seasons fuel oil
renewal forms as promptly as
possible.
The forms were mailed out this
week by the board to all fuel
oil users in this area, Mr.. Ridley
said. "The sooner these forms are
filled out and returned, by mail,
to the board" he added, "the soon
er we can begin processing them
and issuing oil ration coupons.
We would like to have the forms
returned within seven days.
"The earlier these coupons are
issued, the BETTER" MIR. Ridley
said, because it is necessary for
consumers to order part of their
next seasons supply of heating oil
immediately. When dealers make
their first deliveries during the
summer, they are able to give
consumers better delivery srvice
throughout the heating year be-
cause it will help them solve their
pressing manpower and delivery
problems. More important, fill
ing consumers tanks early will
add appreciably to dealers storage
capacity and thereby allow more
Oil to be brought in now for use
next winter"
I'VE in the local board would
certainly appreciate it if all house.
holders here in Kennewick would
make special effort to return the
forms within seven days from
now" MIR. Ridley said. at would
help us, it would help the fuel
Oil distributors here and it would
also benefit all fuel oil users"

Canning Sugar Issued
To 10000 Local Residents

In order to reduce the extreme
ly heavy drain on our sugar sup
ply at this time, and spread it
more evenly throughout the sea-
son, it is necessary nationally to
split the canning sugar issuance,
issuing one-half the maximum at
this time and the other half, il
needed, after Aug. 2. This is not
to be interpreted as rejecting
tighter supplies of sugar or as an
attempt to reduce the amount you
may receive, but merely as a pre-
cautionary measure to guarantee
sufficient sugar to meet the cam
ming requirements throughout the
season.. If you find you need to
apply during the second period in
order to complete you canning pro.
gram, please include a statement
with your application showing the
use made of the sugar issued dur
ing the first period.
During the month Of April the
local rationing board issued $4,000
pounds of canning sugar to APP
proximately $500 people. From
May to "a there were 124,515
pounds issued to 7275 people. This
makes a total number of rations
something over 10000 for the two
months. BY the end of the month
the number for May alone is ex-
pected to exceed 10000 and appli-
cations are still being received by
the local board.

New City Well
Down zoo Feet

Considerable local interest is be-
ing shown in the progress of the
big well the Pacific Power & Light
Co. is drilling for domestic water
supply. Since the start of the OPP
erations a little over 200 feet have
been drilled. Because of the heavy
layer of basalt operations have not
proceeded as rapidly as expected.
However, the big drills dropped II
feet in one day this week when
the hole went through a strata
of mud before slowing up on an
other strata of basalt.
A chart showing the progress of
the well and the various strata
encountered is posted in the Cour-
Ter Reporter window and will be
cAeGt up from day to day as the
well progresses. It is an interest
ing thing to watch Local wise
acres are getting up bets as to
the depts water will be located
one smart one declaring that it will
be at $50 feet, although the COM
pany is expecting to go much
deeper than that. :

Local Streets
And n uIllbers
Easy to Locale
Simple system adopted
proves capable Of wide
expansion

Kennewick's system of street
naming and numbering makes it
an easy matter for strangers to
find their way about, if they UNI
derstand it. When the town was
originally laid out, Streets were
named for local citizens, fancy
places, flowers. etc, without re-
gard for any sort of unity.
Later, when the town assumed
the proportions of a small city and
mail delivery became possible, it
was necessary to rename many of
the streets and to formulate some
sort of a system for numbering
the houses. The following plan
was adopted:
With KenneWick Avenue as the
division line, all avenues in the
municipality run east and west,
with an alphabetical listing on the
north side of Observation-Disclosures
A, B. c, ETC., and south of the
dividing line, the avenues are
numbered from First to Tenth, at
the city limits.
The avenues are just plain ave-
nues west Of Washington street,
the dividing line. East of Wash
ington street, the word East is add
ed to the avenue: First Avenue
East, Second East, etc. When and
if the town ever expands past the
west city limits, the plan is to
have a First Avenue West, from
that point out, etc.
The streets follow similar plan.
With Washington street as the div
ision, the streets running north
and south are alphabetically
for towns in the state of Wash
ington: Auburn, Benton, Cascade,
Dayton, Everett, Fruitland, etc.
East of Washington street they are
also alphabetically named, but af-
ter trees: Alder, Beech, Cedar, etc.
Thus it is an easy matter to find
any street by merely counting
from Washington street or Ken
newick Avenue.
House numbering, too, is just as
easy to figure out. Beginning one
block from Washington or Ken
newick Avenue (the dividing lines)
the numbers start at 100. In the
second blockat 200, and so on. So
with the number of the house and
the street, it is very easy to find
the way around KenneWick.
