Benton County
Utility Project
Alloted $4,000
Electric Service to be
Availlable for County
Farms Soon
“Actual construction on the first
unit under the Benton County Util
ity District will start very soon” was
the comment of Guy J. story direct
or from this end of the county. “The
contracts will be let within a week
or ten days and construction will
be started immediately.” The fore
going statement was prompted by
the receipt of a telegram from Sen
ator Lewis B. Schwellenbach con
firming a grant by the REA to be
loaned to prospective consumers
under the new district for wiring
homes preparatory to receiving the
electric service.
Mr. Story described the unit to
be developed as consisting of 45
miles of transmission line costing
about $45,000 to serve the territory
lying north of Presser and west of I
Benton City. In the area so included
are about 150 families for whom
electric service will be made avail
able, of which 40 have applied for
this loan and the, balance, or 110
families, will secure the electric ser
vice without government aid. The
grant made to which Schwellen
bach’s telegram concerned is in the
amount of $4,000 which provides
SIOO per family to cover wiring,
plumbing, etc., required to receive
service. This amount is in the
‘form of a loan to the families for
which they give their personal
notes, which notes are underwritten
by the REA.
The whole scheme is cooperative
in its conception, and a contract has;
been entered into with Pacific Pow-‘
er 8: Light company for purchase of
power for this unit for distribution.
Under the terms of the contract,
service will be supplied the users at
two set rates—Class A users will pay
a. minimum of $3.50 per month for
theﬂrstßoKWand lcperKWfor
any consumption above that amount.
Classßuserswmhaveaminimum
monthly rate of $1.50, and this ser
ivice will be lights only and 1s plan

Paris, France—No definite an

inimation that their arrival here
would be the signal for unfavorable

Commissioners
DISCIISS State Gas
Tax and Pensmns
A definite pay-as-you-go plan
seemed to meet the approval of the
county commissioners in regard to
old age pensions, as reported by
Jay Perry, who has just returned
from the state meeting held on the
coast. Considerable pressure was
brought by the King County group
to haVe the full $30.00 per month
paid in all cases and search» for
‘methods of raising the money later.
‘While this scheme was not generally
favored by commissioners from oth
er sections, it was one of the large:
items under consideration, and was
discussed at considerable length. It
willbetheplantousewhatmoney
is actually available and apportion
it in such manner to properly bene
fit the greatest number of eligible
people, who actually need the as
sistance.
The 40-40-20 plan of distribution
or state gas tax money was discussed
but no recommendation either for
or against this plan was or will be
made. The commissioners were
provided with charts showing the
actual distribution of gas tax funds
to the state, county and city under}
the present plan accompanied by!
distribution according to the 4040-!
20 plan and the only counties in
which the city’s apportionment
would increase would be King.
Pierce and Spokane. In Benton
County the county itself would lose
inexcessoiszOpOOperyeai-inroad
money and the cities of the county
‘would receive about $4,000 more
than is received under the present
plan. This $4.000 would be any}
tributed to all the municipalities in
the county. ‘
The medical and dental services or
the counties as outlined in the So
cial Security Act will be retained
under individual county plans, ac
cording to Mr. Perry, as no action
was taken by the commissioners at
this meeting to set up a uniform
plan for the entire state. '
First‘Debate Friday
The first high school debate ON
the season will be held in the audi
torium with Selah, the local high
school taking the affirmative side of
the question, “Resolved That The
Several States Should Adopt a Uni
camera] System of Legislature.” This
debate is open to the public and
‘there is no admission charge.

In Honor of Those Who Fell
Today prosperity and good-will hold sway
over millions of lives enveloped in the se—

peace from war and strife, lets us recall
the heroism of those called to the battle
fields, the patriotism which so nobly car
ried them onward into the face of death,
and the devotion to their cause which in
spired them to make the world a safe

Better than 25 children were ab

to the health officer within 24
hours of illness. 1
Symptoms are fever runny time

Before returning to school each
child must be examined by the
health officer and receive an admit

Soup for the School
. Kiddies -
Soup for the kiddies has claimed
the interest and time or a goodly
number of local citizens. both mes
culine and feminine. for the pro
duction of the Pseudo-minstrel show
“Here Comes the Showbost." to be
presented Monday evening. Novem
ber 22 at the high school auditorium.
The Kiwanis club has been the
sponsor of soup for the grade school
youngsters for several years to the
extent or underwriting any losses
sustained thru serving to those who
were not financially able to partake.
When the thermometer drops to zero
(we hope it won't) the noonday bowl
of soup is what keeps the kiddies
healthy. and the Kiwanians and
their many helpers want to keep the
soup pot simmering.
The demand is heavy for the free
dish this year and the club decided
