"As of today" said Mcmahon,
1927 heads of families are on the

Iland. And 900 additional family
heads are being processed by per-

living quarters soon.
Workers from all over the ma
ton are reporting to Hanford, he
continued, with the promise Of
dormitory housing until more per-
nanent quarters can be secured
for them. But dormitory rooms
are full.
Even a recent canvass of Rich

considerable number of rooms in

women has not filled the need.
"The last available room, Sc

Still Hot Issue

Promising the active support
of the Kennewick Pre-School
PTA in the campaign to fence
the open irrigation canal that
bisects the heart of the city,
Molly 10 Finnigan said today
that they will fight for ditch
fencing until the issue has fin
ally been settled one way or an
other.
eve consider that the proposal
to fence the canal is by no means
deadissue," Mrs. Finnigan
averred, "and we will continue
to fight for it until satisfactory
safety measures have been
achieved"
Agitation to fence or cover
the irrigation canal has existed
in the community for years. II
was stimulated into renewed
activity several months ago by
the tragic drowning of a four
year old boy.
Asked to comment on the canal
fencing subject, Councilman
Larry Scott explained that in
his opinion no individual council
man or city officials could ven
ture to speak for the electors OF
the community on the success
or failure of a bond issue.
"The matter is one OF vital
concern to the entire population
of Kennewick," he said" and j,
should be determined by the
majority vote of our people.
Only in this way, Scott pro.
|ceeded, can the proponents and
opponents of the measure ex-
press themselves conclusively
He voiced his hope that the
issue can be submitted to vote
of the citizens at an early date
