gan to rise a brand new modern

bad as people have said they
were. But a new Gay is uawn.,i.

The outstanding example OF
the new era in trailer camp ar

Council Asked TO
Speed Plans for
Sewage Disposal

Kennewick city council was
asked by a state health official
last Tuesday night to take steps
to speed up installation OF a
sewage treatment plant to take
care of terrific increase in the
sewage flow" expected here.
The request OF the health de-
partment came from w. T. Elf
furt who told councilmen at
Tuesday nights meeting that
housing and sanitation conditions
in the area were real concern
of the department.
Mr.. Eiffurt asked the council
to instruct the city engineer to
prepare plans and specifications
for the sewage treatment plant.
He said one of the more simple
types would suffice because DOM
este water intakes are above the
points in the river where sew
age will flow.
Mayor J. c. Pratt said the city
had made some investigation for
a plant and one had been recon-
mended by the engineer. Coun-
Gilman Holden said decision on
a location had been held up be-
cause it had not been settled
what conditions would result
from the McNary dam.
The study being made of the
question is under the streets and
alleys committee comprised of
Councilmen Scott, Campbell, Cox
and Richmond.
Councilmen will meet Tuesday
night with a group of residents of
Island View community to dis
cuss health conditions and fire
protection. DR.. Charles Tudor
and Dudley Beall of the Benton
Franklin health district were
asked to attend.

Whiieway Lights
For Avenue !?

City council Tuesday night re-
ceived report that most OF the
easements had been obtained for
establishing alleys back OF the
business buildings on both sides
of Avneue c.
The report was received with
pleasure by Avenue G business
men yesterday who are looking
forward to the time when tele-
phone and telegraph poles may
be removed from the avenue to
the alleys and white way lights
can be established in 'front.'
Public utilities were said to be
cooperating in the effort to Sc.
cure the easements. Some had
held up new installations so that
they might be placed in the al.
leys and not have to be moved
again.
Appearing before the council,
Harold Fyfe, insurance and real
estate man, got from the body a
promise to look into the advisa-
bility of deciding tract of land
adjoining the Twin City Golf
course west of Kennewick back
to the Kennewick Irrigation dis
trict.
The land had been decided
in 1887 by the district to the city
with provision that it could be
used for golf course only. Now
that it is not to be used as such
councilmen said they thought the
city might give a quitclaim deed
to the district. Papers for the
transaction were said to be ready
for signatures. A committee 70
Councilmen Cox, Holden, and
Richmond were named to study
the matter for action at the next
regular meeting.
