Green Homes Petitions
For Inclusion In City;
Hearing Set March l
City Boundaries to Be
Extended to 10th Ave.
And Oak Street

Green Homes and Mob Hill will
soon be a part of the City Of Ken
newick following the collection OF
signatures on petitions for that
purpose presented to the city coun-
Gil Tuesday night.
More than 80 percent Of the
property was signed up which will
extend the city limits south Of the
canal to 10th and east from lateral
No. 10 Oak street. This will
square up ire townsite in that area.
At present the limits follow the
canal.
March / is the date set by the
council for a public hearing on the
proposition in the council cham
bers. Following the hearing an
ordinance will be presented to the
council and when passed will make
this section officially part Of
Kennewick.
Property in the area will be SUBJ
jected to a higher tax rate. How
ever numerous advantages will ac-
crue, it was pointed out. The city
will be required to maintain and
improve streets, provide fire pro-
lection with resulting lower in
surance rate, police protection and
other services that are part Of liv-
ing in a modern community.
Valuation of property In the
new area is estimated at Sis, 900.
OF this amount LOG, $50 is repre-
sented in the Green Homes addi-
ton.
"A check on fire insurance rates
reveals that savings will be SUBJ
stantial. AS an example on $4,000
at the present rate is $24.50 Under
city fire protection the rate will
drop to $3.50 for saving Of 500.
While this action will change tho
valuation Of the proposed rural
fire district it will not alter the
boundaries inasmuch as the word
ing of the proposition states that
the district will come up to the
corporate limits Of the city.
At present residents of Kenne-
wick are paying taxes amounting
TO l7h mills. However, the new
area, according to City Attorney
Ken. Serier, would not be subject
to the two and half mills that is
earmarked to pay off bonded in
debtedness Of the city, leaving
them q tax of Is mills. Also the
area will not be subject to the
three mills proposed tax for the
rural fire district.
The area will also be eligible
for connection to the city's sewer
system under local Improvement
district or straight payment.

''Title," and saying to each other,
Home. Our own home!" They
know that self-denial today bears
golden interest tomorrow; that mid
dle-age will be dignified and secure;
that they will not have to depend
upon their children for support, or
60 on into old age laboring YEARLY
for bread and butter.
Savings Pile Up Fast.
These facts are true America has
over million really rich families,
over Is million comfortably rich
ones. And there are other millions
who know that they need never
know real want.
All but one fraction of l per cent
of these fortunes have been made
by working folk, starting with moth
ing. 1t doesn't make sense, but saw
ing multiplies your money just as
extravaganza lessons it. The habit
of saving gives you other good
things; self-respect and the respect
of your tradespeople; interest in
your own future; knowledge of in
veStmentS - war bonds, real estate.
And also it draws you and the man
Of the house closer together: your
hopes and plans are one.
Lucky the man who gets a thrifty
wife, and the woman whose husband
will save as well as plan. But how
few they are! To most young
couples cosmetics, new cars,
movies, taxis, downtown dinners,
cocktails. poker debts are all-impor-
tant now, and doing what the rest
of the crowd does most important
of all!
In 1865 you'll have an entirely diff
ferent crowd, and may perhaps wish
that you had thought of that 1865
crowd a little more in these days

SAVE AND HAVE

As everyone kno,os, ,Uages haze
been high and overtime plentiful.
Profits Of businesses, small and
large, haze been good during the
last fve or sir years. Savings Of
individuals are at unprecedent-
ed levels. Each family has on the
average some $1,000 in bonds and
bank accounts.
Spending also, however, has
been and continues to be on an
open-handed basis. Many uho
neuer had more than enough to
live on haze been enjoying lux-
uries once thought Gu. Of reach.
While prosperous times are e1-
pected to stretch on ahead for at
least three or four years, the pres.
ent scale Of Uild spending can
mean hardship and ruin to many,
many families as soon as any
pinch comes.
Money problems account for
much, perhaps most, of the do
nestle strife in the land. Fe,o
couples can face the hard facts Of
income and expenses realistically.
1t is difficult to skimp and saue
,Uhen other people seem to be
having fun and spending freely.
Yet self-denial is the price Of fu-
ture security and comfort.
Savings mount up fast if the
budget is adhered to closely. The
temptation to make exceptions,
to buy this or that unnecessary
luxury. is always present. After
the first te,o years, however. the
nest egg ,ciH be big enough to
permit te,o departures from the
rigid early plan.

By KATHLEEN NORRIS

T is almost impossible for a
man and a woman, as hus-
band and wife, to agree up
on the proper spending of the
family income.
It is sometimes wiser, before
you marry, to agree that you
will differ upon this point, than
to fondly and blindly state that
you will discuss it fairly, and
agree upon it.
OF course it has happened that
. welded couple faced this problem
fairly and kept to their agreement.
But very rarely.
As general rule, the husband
makes the money, and the wife
fills a dozen places at home-cook,
houseworker, upstairs maid, ca
terer, nurse, bookkeeper. hostess
and gets no pay.
1t wouldn't make any difference if
she did get paid, for it is impossible
for a wife and mother to keep her
personal accounts separate from the
family's budget. She couldn't see
Tom wistful for money for his
tennis racket, and Barbara all
aglow to 60 to the Girl Scouts camp
and quietly deny them, and continue
to deposit her own dollars in her
own bank account. No, mothers
money is everyone's money, and
if she holds it out she merely feels
ridiculous, selfish and unhappy.
Anyway, mother can't be adequate
ly paid. Suppose her husbands
salary is $500 a month. How can
he possibly compensate her and
keep the home going, out of that?
One hundred and fifty dollars a
month would be low pay for what
mother does.
Budget Cramps Style.
So they 60 along very much as
everyone else does; sometimes they
get the bills out and decide to do
something about it, and sometimes
they even talk budget. But stay
ing inside a budget is what was
once described by brother of mine
as being like trying to dress in an
upper berth. You are cramped on
all sides. No sending flowers to
dear Nancy, sick in the hospital. No
taxis. The cheaper, smaller movie
houses. The cheaper cuts Of meat.
You feel that the ease and gracious
ness has gone out of life.
It hasn't, of course. A call on
Nancy, or a note, will be far more
to her than three dollars worth of
roses. The smaller movies are just
the same as far as the show goes,
and more comfortable as to crowd
ing and seats. The cheaper cuts of
meat take more careful cooking
and are more flavorsome.
But saving, living economically is
hard, just the same. Perhaps Tom
wants duck gun, feels guilty over
the extravaganza, tells you to get
yourself the little checked coat.
Jaw, what the heck!" says Tom,
tired of drudgery. tired of saving,
tired of seeing the woman he loves
counting pennies. So you get the
coat and he gets the gun and that
same month the old car just goes
to pieces, and-somewhat scared
now you're committed to pay every
month for that car! The payment
on the car and the life of the car
will terminate at the same time.
But now and then thrifty, sensi-
BILE man gets a thrifty, sensible
wife. They know that just as money
mysteriously melts away under
wasting, so it mysteriously accumu-
lates under saving. There's no ex-
planning this: it is simply so. They
know that the saved $316 that looks
SO puny now will be over. thousand
next year. and that some day they
