, with an exceptionally good at
.,tendance at this weeks session
a. the local gripers in spite OF the
~ sueltering heat, it was especially
appropriate that a group willing
- Al something about the weather
should take over the meeting. And
that's exactly what they did. One
Spokesman frog-licked his way
onto the platform, clad only in
trunks brilliantly decorated with
naim trees and hula girls. "What
we want to know" he beloved,
ajs what happened to the swim
ming pool campaign. Here it is
almost budget time again for the
the city and we're just where we
were q year ago. We crave some
action!" When the chairman tried
to get in a word of explanation,
the swimming opponents prompt
" pushed his head under again.
aAction, that's what we want!'
they all chanted. .
BUDGET
. By way of review, we might re-
mind that the city last year bud
s,seted $4,000 for a swimming
pool. IN addition to this about
$1,000 has been raised by individ-
uals and organizations. That is
far from enough to build a swim
ming pool but it is a healthy
start. When the city was asked
for the fund last year it Was with
promise that the community
would support the program and
augment the fund. On the surface
it would appear that there is not
enough interest for pool in Ken
newick.
CIRCUMSTANCES
However, there are many ex-
tenuating circumstances. In the
first place shortage of materials
and high cost of construction
make the project a doubtful in
vestment at the present time. In
the second place, the ditch-fenc-
ing proposition has clouded the
isue. Which job should be done?
Should both be undertaken al
lne same time? Which is the most
important?
COUNCIL
How will the council look at the
situation? We can't have any way
way OF knowing until they act on
II. However, it would seem the
better part of good judgment fol
me War Memorial Committee, in
whose hands the project lies, to
ger busy and impress upon the
council that the community still
wants and needs a swimming pool
unless some action is taken we
would not blame the council toe
aluen II it comes to the conclusion
nat the pool is dead duck.

Can a married woman who runs

The United States Tax court,
impressed by a Texas woman
who banked savings of $27, 900
from a dozen years Of boarding
house operations, came up with
a resounding Eyes" today.
It also got off some philosophy
about the institution Of the board

Running a boarding house is

MACON, Ga. W.I-simply by
ripping down a posted order
raising the price Of milk here e
two cents, an irate customer left
legal brains stymied as to
whether the order could be en-
forced.
The order, posted by the State
Milk Conrol Board, was su p
posed to have remained on the
courthouse bulletin board 10
davs before becoming effective,
according to law. But it was
torn down a couple Of days aft

Mrs. Louise J.Neumann of Sim

a marked degree" said the
court.
With that, it ruled that the gov

tance taxes against $27, 1000 of the
$96, 788 estate left by her hus-
band, Frank D. Neumann, be-

Of a boarding house," the court
said firmly.
With apparent regret, the
tribunal said it didn't have
enough evidence to hold
that Mrs. Neumann was entitled
to the whole $96,788 free from in
heritance taxes.
It remarked, however, that the
record indicated the estate was
run up from a farm bought by
the Neumans with her $27,-

The court said Neumann chad
