Parallel Parking
Campaign Starts

Motorists Wee reqested this
week 10 begin parallel parking
throughout the Avenue c area.
The movement TO inaugurate the
practice was given impetus by
State Traffic Authorities, who
noted that The state vehicle traf-
tic code requires parallel park
ing on all portions Of State High
ways within corporate limits Of
towns and cities.
Asking the cooperation of driv-
ers, Chief Of Police M. II. Ker-
shaw noted that many drivers
DO not appear to know the mean
ing OF parallel" parking, and
have requested instructions from
officers and workmen in the vi
cinity OF signs calling for that
type Of parking.
lie explained: Gears are to be
parked directly behind or ahead
OF other cars in a line Of parked
cars, with the right side of the
vehicle parallel to the curb
line"
City authorities have announc-
ed their intention to comply fully
with the state request for inn
mediate conversion TO parallel
parking.
Chief Kershaw also stressed the
need for immediate compliance
by stating that the Avenue c vi
cinity has grown into a busy
shopping district, in which traf-
fic checks have shown as many
as $4,000 passing vehicles in a
"A hour count. The side streets,
as well as the Avenue itself, de-
mand parallel parking, he point
ed out. ~.
The Police Department is
proud Of the fact that there were
no deaths caused by vehicles in
the city i'm 1947." the Police
Chief said, ''and due to that fact
alone we wish to thank the driv-
ers and pedestrians OF the city.
1t is an outstanding contribution
to the cause Of courtesy and
safety"
Commencing the agility Of
pedestrians, Chief Kershaw add
cd: MANY of our pedestrians
have been quick on the jump"
Improved parking conditions
and the modern type Of street
lighting soon to be installed on
Avenue c will, his statement
implied, improve visibility for
drivers enough that foot traffic
will be more adequately accomo-
dated in the future.

Wo Are Heard
On Question OF
Removing Trees

lily councllmen and Mayor
Pratt Tuesday night went forward
with their study of a street widen
ing plan for Kennewick avenue
today with new wealth Of info
rmation and ideas gathered sat
the reglar council meeting Tues
day night. E -..-
Opening the meeting with the
sircet widening question, the
mayor and council heard several
persons who said they Were in
terested. From some. they heard
that nobody living or owning
property i'm the section from Day
tona Street west to the irri-
! gaiion ditch bridge is opposed TO
the removal of the trees along
the avenue eff it is necessary"
From John Vibber they heard
request to take into considera-
ton the probability that speed
will increase over the avenue if
it becomes a wider street and
that the danger TO the many
school children who walk the
avenue will increase.
From Rev. John Coan came
the suggestion that First Ave
nue. be widened and extended
west to t:ke care of traffic from
the soutn. To this suggestion,
Mayor Pratt responded: THAT
is being given consideration"
Mr.. Vibber had signed state
ment with the names of 10 west
Kennewick Avenue property
owners and eight persons living
in homes along the streets but
not owners, stating that the trees
should not be removed until 9TH
er solutions are tried such as
limiting speed, limiting parking
to one side of the street, the
bridge be widened, waiting to
see if traffic does not decrease
when the Richland housing pro-
grams are completed. The state
ment said pedestrians needed the
shade which the trees provide.
Meanwhile, Charles Bateman,
owner of the Kennewick Hotel
on Kennewick Avenue, had the
large trees along the east side
of the hosiery removed this
week. This was the first major
step towards tree removal since
the matter was taken up by the
council.
City Street Commissioner Joe
Stradling said the city had au-
thority to remove the trees on
First Avenue but that it won't
be necessary to take out all trees
along the avenue because some
set back far enough.
Mayor Pratt stressed the need
for taking some action to take
better care of the traffic from
and to the west. He said: with
the street at its present width,
with cars parked on both sides,
and the speed at which cars are
driven, there is real hazard
| there" g. H. .-..

PUD To Sell $500, 900

Campbell said, by resolution APP
proved at the January Is meeting
of the PUD commissioners, and
the new funds will be applied
Immediately to improving and adj
justing the existing system and
to a long range program of ex-
pansion to meet the requirements
OF the fast-growing service area.
Work is already under way,
Owen w. Hurd, new PUD man.
ager, revealed, to effectuate
changes that will bring improve
ment in service to the greatest
number of consumers with min
imum expenditure of time and
equipment. Interruptions to cleo
irlcal service on Tuesday and
Wednesday mornings were ord
cred to make adjustments permit
ting present lines to more ade-
quately carry their all-time peak
loads. he explained.
Requests for new connections
are arriving at the PUD office
IN unprecedented numbers, Hurd
continued, new customers total
ing III were added to the lines
during December. and thus far in
January l66 applications are be-
ing serviced..
The long range rehabilitation
program will provide ample pow
er for new homes and businesses
during 1948, and advance enpin-
eerlng and design work on DOW
er systems to serve the new home
areas will start as soon as con-
struction plans permit, he assured.
The limitations of the existing
PUD system are fixed by trans
former capacity. Only installation
OF new Bonneville sub stations
can give permanent relief from
accelerating power demands, Hurd
stated.
Because major investments in
equipment and facilities must
wait On congressional approval
of current appropriation requests.
actual blue printing of future con-
struction work will not be at.
tempted until additional power
deliveries from Bonneville have
been made possible.
Commenting on the work of
Bob Cruzen, who has directed the
Benton county PUD since its be-
ginning, Hurd said: 81 cannot
praise too highly the splendid
record he has made in plotting the
PUD through one of the most
trying periods experienced by any
utility in the country. It was
made possible only by incessant
work. and a devotion to his re-
sponsibilities belond the ordin-
airy call of duty"
The same statement, Hurd
added, can be applied to the en-
tire PUD staff.
