river was appropriated In the
interior appropriation Act for the
fiscal year 1929 and 1880, it was
stated that the program contem-
plated completion of the Kenne-
wick Division along with the other
units of the Yakima irrigation
project. It has been included In
all program reports by the Bur-
eau of Reclamation and favor
able feasibility report made.
"As I pointed out In my for
mer message, early completion
of this Division is highly import
ant because Of the great increase
in population resulting from the
personnel requirements at the
Hanford plutonium plant Of the
Atomic Energy Commission. This
project will replace some 10000
acres of very rich irrigated land
taken out of production and fur
nish a livable land area for many
of these new people, including
veterans.
81 most respectfully urge again
that the budget bureau give fur
Their consideration to the need
for funds to begin construction
of this extension and thereby as
sist in meeting the urgent wishes
of the people in that section Of
the State"

III part. t.-.
my contention that it Is not
a new project and that funds
may properly be recommended by
the Budget Bureau and appro-
priated by congress for the pur-
pose of extending an existing
project is based in part upon the
fact that previous appropriations
have been made for this unit Of
the Yakima Project. In the act
making appropriations for the
department of interior for the
fiscal year ending June, 80, 1881,
and for other purposes, approved
May IA, 1880, $640,000 was appro-
priated for construction of the
presently existing and operating
portion of this division of the
Yakima Project. The appropria-
ton act for the fiscal year 1892
authorized use Of the unexpected
balance Of this appropriation for
continuing construction.

City Aims 10 Have Adequate Wafer System
Dealing With
Two Owners Of
Systems Here

It DIDN'T take long, after Ken
newick started to grow, for the
community to outgrow its water
facilities.
Consequently, the city council
and city superintendent Dick
Rector have had as one of their
big jobs the working out of plans
for a new water system.
Working out these plans
haven't gone far because OF fail
ure of tn Getty council and own
ers of the water systems to agree
ON terms of proposed sales. The
Pacific Power G. Light company
demanded one price for their
system and the city council said
it was worth less. That is about
as far as the parties have gotten.
As for the Kennewick Irrigation
district, which owns the system
which supplies west KenneWlck
and the Highlands, there may be
no difficulty in coming to terms,
once the zeal with the PIP q l.
has been made. The K. I. D. will
remain in the water business at
ter selling its domestic water
system but only as Suppler OF
irrigation water. Secretary Ed
Brand of the K. I. d. said that
because of the fact that the 4. !.
D. will still be going concern,
I'VE can't give our domestic wat
er system away" He added that
they would have to get what 1t
actually is worth.
If and when the systems are
taken over by the city, city SUI
perlntendent Rector, said. q new
water source is contemplated.
That probably will be from the
river, but there will be some kind
of liberation plant, either me-
chanical or natural. A natural
plant would mean sinking wells
in the bed of the river and US
ing the sand and gravel in the
river bed as the liberation sub
stances. r ..r .e.,..
Cost of q mechanical liberation
plant has been estimated at
$500, 900 which may be more than
the council feels it can spend at
q time when so many other ex-
penditures for improvements are
being made.
The city is just winding up in
stallation Of two city sewer
trunklines. Lateral lines also are
being installed with the city
furnishing the plans and engln-
eering, property owners furnish
ing lines running to their pro-
perry. ..... .... 49,
City councilmen have stated
that they consider improvement
of the water system as one OF
the '.musts." They have pointed
out that the present systems are
inadequate and that if the own
ers fail to provide adequate sys-
TENS, the city must.

Watkins made q series of dives
at homes in the exclusive country

earthward, only to zoom back into
the sky. The landing gear scraped
fronds off palm trees on several
dives.
Finally Watkins flew back to
the airport, its runways lighted by
the headlamps Of police cruisers.
Flying low, the pilot opened the
cockpit window and shouted, Get

Then he made a perfect land

run to less than 100 feet. Police
heard q pistol shot, closed in and
found Watkins unconscious with
a wound in the temple, pistol on
