Sport Shots
by
Harry Whitlow

About here a few things should
be said about the rowing club
went down to the river last night
and watched these boys put through
their PAGES and brother let me tell
you this-those kids are in there
for blood. Joe McCrea who is coach
ing these kids from Roosevelt in a
Junior four really has them in top
shape. They go out on the river
twice a day now-six o'clock in the
morning and again at six at night.
They are training now for the
Central States races at Detroit next
Saturday and of course have to be
in the pink. Mount Carmel has an
eight going in and this crew is un-
der the supervision of Ed Kalisie-
wicZ. When those boys will work
like they have and the coaches and
all concerned will put in the hours
they have to make these teams a
success then this sport must be one
of the tops. Joe showed me their
boats and they have at the present
three tours and two Fights which
are in good condition and disable.
They are now trying to fix up two
Fights and one four which are not
in such good shape.
inquired into the cost of these
things and I find that a good boat
in the eight class will cost about
fifteen hundred smackeroos. In the
fours, eight hundred bucks will give
you nice boat. At present there
are about so kids that are down
there trying to make the name of
Wyandotte go around the country
as a winner. To much cannot be
said again about the time and the
patience required to put a skillful
crew on the river. These coaches
and Fred Bashore who looks after
the boats are down with the kids
every morning at six and give them
all of the help that is possible. The
new boat house is in the making
and when finished it will be a
dream. To mention the persons who
are doing gratis work on this gil
gantic project would be to great
but-there are some swell citizens
in Wyandotte

Work 10 Start
On Big Sewer
CONSTRUCTION Job

What is believed to be the larg-
est contract ever awarded to q
local contractor for a construc-
ton job in Kennewick is the big
trunk sewer job which will be
done by the Twin City Plumb
ing and Heating company.
Equipment to do the job Is on
hand and it is expected that work
will start Monday morning. City
Engineer c. D. Hall is completing
the necessary stalking Of the center
line of the sewer this week.
Paul Horsley, manager of the
plumbing firm, has stated that
it is his intention to rush the work
to completion in the shortest pos
sible time. The contract allows
five months for the job but he
hopes to shorten that time con-
siderably.
The trunk sewer will run from
Washington street east along Av-
enue B to a point east Of the N.
p. tracks and thence northeasterly
to the river. Lines will be con-
structed on Washington street to
connect with present sewer lines.
The city council has secured
right of way easements and there
appears to be nothing that will
delay the work. Funds for this
sewer job were raised by the
issuance of $500 in revenue
bonds in addition to a federal
grant of $4,000. The revenue
bonds are to be paid from funds
accruing from the newly enforced
sewer rate collection.
Steady increase in home con-
construction in Kennewick has
made present sewer facilities en-
tirely inadequate. In addition to
this many new business places
and packing plants have taxed
the sewer far beyond capacity.

r. B. Holden Is
Appointed As
City Treasurer

At an adjourned meeting of the
City Council Tuesday night, r.
B. Holden was appointed as City
Treasurer to fill the unexpired
term of II. E. Huntington whose
resignation became effective We'd
nesday morning. The council ac-
cepted Mr.. Holden's resignation
from that body and approved his
appointment to the new office.
In addition to the regular work
of the city treasurer's office the
council added the work Of collec-
ton of the new sewer rate. It
is believed that this will require
full time work. For that reason
the council set the salary at SIPS
per month. This will be in addi-
ton to the regular salary Of the
treasurer which was set at SOS for
part time work.
Mr.. Holden came to Kennewick
eight years ago from South Da-
kota. He was pastor Of the Bap-
fist church for seven years. He
was appointed to the city council
by Mayor A. G. Anon for the
First Ward and was elected to that
office at the next election. He
has served on the ration board
for two and a half years and has
been active in the Chamber Of
Commerce.
The council gave first readings
to two ordinances. One dealt
with the question Of insurance
and retirement pay for volunteer
firemen. This became necessary
because the recent session Of the
legislature passed new laws deal
ing with these matters and the
ordinance was drawn to conform
with the requirements.
The other established a fund
for the construction of the new
building addition to the city hall
which will house the fire depart
met and equipment.
City attorney Kenneth Serier re-
ported that details of acquiring
easements for right of way for
the new trunk sewer are practic-
ally completed.

Committee Set
For Postwar
Job Planning

A postwar labor planning
committee was established at the
Thursday noon meeting of the
Kennewick Chamber of Com
merce. Personnel Of the commit
te has not yet been named.
Purpose of the committee is to
cooperate with the u. S. Employ
ment Service in making detailed
survey of present jobs and job
possibilities in the futuere. This
will include q study of industrial
possibilities, large and small, bust
ness openings in all classifications
and q. complete picture Of the
agricultural needs and future
needs.
It is proposed that the informa-
ton obtained in the survey should
be fully catalogued and be made
available to anyone wishing in
formation on any Of its phases.
Primary purpose is to provide
jobs for returning veterans and
displaced war workers. Labor
needs of all firms in the area as
well as farms will be tabulated.
The task of finding places fol-
these workers has been turned
over to the employment service.
However that agency has no au-
thority vested in it to make the
complete survey of post war pos.
sibilities. For that reason the
Chamber is setting up the com
mittee to do this job.
The cooperation Of businesl
firms, packing plants, farmers and
individuals will be sought.
Personnel of the group will be
announced as soon as they are
named.

8oUAWA CAOo
In spite Of the oppressive heat
in their airless basement meeting
room of the local Squawk Club,
a very busy time was had with
a record attendance. So many
complaints were registered that
the whole meeting was turned
into q bedlam. However, one
especially vociferous member was
successful in making himself
heard above the din. His chief
complaint was the, to quote his
own words, complete disrespect
for public buildings in general and
the public school in particular. "
A recent public meeting in one
of the school rooms was cited as
a classic example. It seems that
the floor had just been sanded
rand vanished. Following the
A1eeting the whole JOB had to be
Re over because carelessly
3(omped cigarettes had burned
through the finish in circles
around several of the chairs.

oopsl OUR ERROR

It's q long story but well try
to condense it. Keeping Aspara
Gus remarks Of last week about
self condemnation in mind, we will
boldly admit we made an error.
1t seems that somebody else made
one first in the advertisement for
bids for the new fire hall which
first appeared last week. The
thing had to be changed and re-
published. However, due to the
extra pages required this week,
the first run came off the press
early carrying the second publi-
cation Of the notice. The curious
may find the faulty one on page
ten. We respectfully urge, how
ever, that contractors interested
in bidding on the job disregard
this one and turn to page II
for the corrected copy. Is that all
clear?
