New Pc Quarters
or Kennewick

Kennewick, at last, is TO have
new post office quarters. But
that, postmaster Walter Woehler
said yesterday, doesn't mean that
a federal building is to be erected.
Woehler posted notices in the
present post office yesterday ask
ing for bids for quarters covering
5000 feet Of floor space.
Sample bid forms may be seen
at the post office by anyone who
wishes to place a bid, He said.
But forms for submitting bids
must be obtained through the Of
flee Of v. F. Worthington, postal
inspector in Portland.
The building must be centrally
located and a five or ten year
lease must be given. There must
be suitable daylight and there.
must be a side entrance as well
as front. Bids for the building
will be accepted at the Portland
office until March 3. II suitable
new quarters are furnished, the
present quarters on Kennewick
avenue will be abandoned.
Woehler stressed this week that
this action has no bearing on the
question Of erecting a federal
building in Kennewick. II should
not affect the securing of feder-
al building one way or another,
he said. ~Ea -

Columbia Bridge
Bill Introduced

Representative Stockman Of
Oregon was to introduce this week
q bill in congress TO authorize the
federal government to construct
q 81, OO0, 600 highway bridge across
the Columbia river below McNary
dam.
He said the plan is that the
structure be constructed near
Umatilla.
Stockman said such bridge
would facilitate work on McNary
dam, as the nearest bridge to the
project is now SO miles upstream.
He said the proposed bridge, to be
near Umatilla, would increase
traffic between Washington and
Oregon and provide a convenient
route for tourists.
Last years disastrous flood in
the Columbia clearly demonstrate
ed the need for a bridge across it
below McNary," he said.
Stockman explained that his bill
will be an amendment to legisla-
ton enacted by the last congress
which authorized the appropriation
Of $1toOO,O00- for constructing
bridges upon and across dams. It
will specifically ask authorization
for the bridge below McNary.

who were here in other years
when there were hard winters,
say it was worse.
In 1919, the year when a man
drove across the Columbia on

was cold much of the winter and
water systems We're frozen until
March l, Residents reported this
week after reading in the Courier
about hundreds of water systems
in Kennewick and the Highlands
being frozen.
Water systems froze up also in
1887 but not as many as this
year, according to Odes Sloan,
local manager Of the Pacific

then. Eve used a transformer
