Work In Behalf
Local Projects

AOO04 4 AVJCO4S
Regardless of how hard the,
try, congressman often find tina
they are up against the irrisist
able force when they set out t.
increase budget amounts for pro
tjects in their districts.
That apparently IS what con.
gresham Hal Holmes ana sen.
tor Warren G. Magnuson found
when they made an attempt tc
/ get the president and congress tc
raise that measley $4,000 which
had been allotted for work on the
Kennewick division of the Yak
ina Valley irrigation project. The
project would bring into use some
10000 acres of rich land south
of Kennewick.
Reporting on his efforts, Holmes
wrote the Courier-Reporter as
follows: ...-
"The house has passed the ap-
preparations bill for the interior
department for the fiscal year
1850 carrying a reduction of 15%
in the figures recommended by
the budget bureau. For the irri-
cation and reclamation program
in the fourth district, Roza is
to receive 1882 ,462; Columbia
Basin $59,075, 900; the Waparo
project $191,250 cash and in adj
dition contract authority for
$500, 900 for Status Unit 3; the
Yakima project is to receive $402,
600 for operations and mainten-
ance.
notwithstanding about eff
forts, including two letters to the
president urging favorable Budget
Bureau recommendation for an
appropriation that would permit
beginning construction on the
Kennewick project, the budget
recommended only $4,000 for
planning and this was included
in the bill. l urged the committee
to approve $2,225,000 which
would give the bureau an oppor-
tunity to bring into existence
the Chandler canal, the power
plant, and also start the facilities (
for the distribution of water on
the land. / also spoke on the floor
of the House in behalf OF this
project. The Bonneville admins
tration received $29, 500 cash,
with $4,O0O,O0O for operation and
maintenance, and SIS, 725, 900 con-
tract authorization. Although the
total for Bonneville was cut 15%
