$500 frnm the bus depot, where
many people get their first I'M
messions Of Kennewick. She re-
msrks that Avenue c, long an eye
~ IN many respects, is getting 9

heiter buildings. She expresses
~ hope that It will be carried Tar
enough to provide some beautifica..

flowers.

We heartily agree with Mrs. G.
BM. and with many others who
have made similar suggestions.
However, it is difficult to get very
far with such a campaign when
there Is nothing more than civic
Ado IN carry Il along. We need
something with teeth and she sug-
vests that too. Her idea is to have
Tie health officer and the fire
chief bear down with regular in
spections and insist on cleanliness.
We are referring Of course, to the
entire city.
