In KenneWick Proposed

opinion on proposal to set up
city licenses for every business in
Kennewick.

much Roadway before it was dis
covered.

thankful for the effort and show
ed their appreciation by serving
welcome hot coffee with punkin'
pie to the weary fire laddies.
1.-THE boys were highly appreci-
alive Of this fine act Of hospital
ity," said Chief Herb Malchow.
Cause Of the fire was undeter-
mined. The new rural fire truck
got a second work out at 4:30
the same morning to a trash fire
west Of town where no damage
was done.
Five fire calls during the
month Of February resulted in
damage to a wide variety Of pro-
perty with loss estimated at
$50. Biggest loss was a cabin
at the Bunch camp while small
