On the payroll deduction plan

this figure is the highest on the
West Coast. It Is this type Of spirit
and cooperation as shown by the
employees that has enabled the
Point to achieve its splendid work
record and. civic cooperation.
Colonel w. r. Hazelrigg, Com
manding officer, made the state
ment that by the cooperation

Canal Fe ncinq
x.zSchool Aim

The Kennewick Pre- school
group met last Monday, July Is at
the Recreation Hall in Park View
Homes. The meeting was sue
cess with many interested mothers
present.
It was decided that the organ
ization should concentrate on
having the canal ditch covered or
at least fenced through town.
Some means should certainly be
taken to protect young children
from falling into the ditch.
AS a secondary project, the
organization chose the organizing
OF young girls into corps to take
care OF younger children. This
way 1t would standardize the
price per hour and the work ex-
pected per price. This would
clarity the situation for both the
mother and the girl employed.
The next meeting will be In
September.

Burbank Beach
Safe for Baillinq

Results of tests made of the Col
umbia and Snake rivers in this
vicinity are reported In q recent
statement issued by DR.. c. Tudor,
health officer for Benton and
Franklin counties. The tests
showed that the Columbia is un-
safe for swimming purposes but
Burbank Beach on the Snake was
satisfactory. 4.
The statement quotes q letter
from the Chief Of the Division OF
Public Engineering Of the State
Department Of Health which says:
IA review of recent bacteria
logical data on samples collected
at Pasco reveals q coliform bac-
terra count very much In excess
of that which is acceptable for
bathing areas. Therefore It Is
necessary for US to consider the
Columbia River at Pasco as un-
satisfactory for bathing purposes.
I'm regard to Burbank Beach
on the Snake River, we are Of the
opinion that this would be salts
factory for bathing. There are
no significant sources Of domestic
pollution ON the Snake River be-
tween its confluence with the
Columbia and the Idaho. Wash

ployment Service. The survey is
designed primarily to secure a

sibilties for returning veterans.
Mr.. Houston has been with the

area In connection with the Han.

Der of Commerce and other civic
groups.
"This will be department OF

munity," he stated.
Business places in this city will
be asked what their needs are now
and what they possibly will be
in the future. In addition the sur
vey will attempt to determine the
possibilities for additional indus
tries and business places.
"A population survey will be
made to show what the demand
isnow and probably will be to de-
termine what industries are feas-
ible.
MIR. Houston stated that the en-
ployment service will make use OF
the survey to advertise Kenne-
wick's needs and possibilities
Work will be done TO make use

Council Plans
City-0peraied
Garbage System

A spotlessly clean city is in
prospect for Kennewick with the
possibility of the city establishing
garbage collection service. Nc
action was taken but the project
was discussed at the regular meet
ing of the city council Tuesday
night.
It was pointed out that Sunny
side and Grandview both have
such an operation and are meet.
ing with success both financially
and in cleaner city. It would
eliminate the constant fire haZ-
ard of numerous trash fires in al
leys and back lots. Trash as well
as garbage would be picked up
probably weekly with daily SER
vice in the downtown area.
With trucks making regular
pickups at every home in the city
it would be comparatively simple
to keep alleys clear of rubbish
There was no discussion of rates
except that several councilmen ex-
pressed themselves as in favor OF
ASSPAAAS IAAS A0SCS oS INV dS WOO4O
be consistent with efficient opera
ton.
Max Walton, accountant, was
hired by the council to set up
books and supervise the first
months collection of the new
sewer rate charge. Mr.. Waltol,
has made a survey of the require
ments for the collection and out
lined to the council his proposals
for establishing the collection set
up. It will be done through the
office of the city treasurer.
A resolution was passed which
will authorize the city's finance
committee to establish sewer
construction fund. This fund
will handle the payments to be
made for the construction of the
Avenue b trunk sewer.
The resignation of II. E. Hunt
lngton as city treasurer was ac-
cepted by the council to become
effective October 1. It will be the
duty Of the mayor to appoint a
successor for the remainder Of
the term of office.
