People of the Tri-Cities should
know about how Congressman
Hal Holmes deals with the news
men. Holmes is a veteran in
congress and how he acts should
be of some significsnce.
Holmes dropped into Kenne
wick one day this week to chat
with a group of local men on
questions of outstanding im
portance to the community. His:
pct project. the Kennewick High
lands irrigation project which
would open up some 16,000 acres
south of the city for ‘farming,
came in for first treatment.
Holmes telephoned Frank Mau
pln. and soon a conference was
on. Gathered around a large
oval table in a Kennewick resta

union officials hfeat £3 admltr
ted they were “talking.” 1
Walter Taylor, local manager,
of the Interstate Telephone cong
my, reported that 'negdtf’atithT
resfimed Wednesday between In
terstate officials and officers of I
the union. .
The strike, which has disrupt
ed service in three states, start
ed at 6 a; m.- Tuesday and has
continued without letup since
that time.
CALLS LIMITED -
Taylor said supervisors were
attempting to handle all calls
coming into the local office but
that local_calls still have to be
limited'tO'those of an emergency
nature only. Long distance calls,
however, are‘ being handled.
’ Both .union _and company of
ficials seemed to agree that the
walkout came as a result of the
c'o'mpany’s refusal to okay a un
lon shop clause in a new con
tract being negotiated.
A union spokesman today ex
pressed the willingness of the
union to negotiate if “its pre
sent legal rights are protected.”
“We feel,” he said, “that giv
ing up the union shop clause
would reopen every clause in the
contract for renegotiation.”
. According to the union, a let
ter ..signed by C. E. Johnson,
president of the Interstate com
pany, has been sent to the Na
tional Labor Relations board in
Seattle. The letter, it was re
ported approved the union clause
desired by the union member
ship.
Now, says the union. manage
ment. will not accept the clause:
Union officials also claimed
an agreement was reached af
ter 11 weeks of negotiation with
the company but that manage
ment then refused to recognize
the contract and asked to rene
gotiate 51 clauses.
MGES RAPPED
A union spokesman told the
Herald that wages are still con
sidered by the union as a def
inite strike issue.
The present starting scale for
telephone men is 92% cents per
hour. The starting scale for op-~
erators is 77% cents per hour.
Top scale for an opera.
tor is 31.07% cents per hour but
it is necessary to work 10 years
to obtain this. A lineman must
also work for 10 years to reach
the top wage of $18796 per hour,
the union reports.
Trying for an appropriation of
millions instead of the paltry
$50,000 which has been allotted
to the project, Holmes said:
“We are certain of this at least
—that our project is as clean as
a hounds tooth, and for that mat.
ter I know of no enmity existing
win congress against the project.”
3 The congressman said: “We at
Ile‘ast have our foot in the door
!and I feel that now we should
start working for an adequate
gappropriation for next year."
.With this suggestion, Frank
iMaupin. Jay Perry and Charles

Suspect Admits
Bad Checks In -
Tri-City Area
A recent flow of bad checks in
the Tri-City area was explained
Thursday when Henry Hansen,
Who is now being held .in the
Walla Walla county jail on a
first degree forgery charge, con
fessed_ to passing tours bogus
checks, two in Richland, one at
the “Y” and the other in Ken
newick.
Sergeant G. A. Mumper of the
Richland patrol, noticed an arti
cle in The Herald about Han
sen’s arrest at Walla Walla.
Confronted with the local for.
geries, Hansen admitted his
guilt.
When Lester S. Randall, man
ager of the Groceteria Food
market, signed a “John Doe”
complaint after one of his relief
cashiers took a $53 check, a
search for Hansen, who was not
known at that time, was initi
ated.
The information gathered by
the patrol was turned over to
the office of the Benton county
prosecuting attorney.
Hansen also passed checks at
Campbell’s Food grocery- in
Richland, C and R market at the
Y and the Safeway store in Ken
newick. He left a trail of bad
checks from Yakima to Walla
Walla.
"I think We now have to lay
the groundwork for an appropria
tion in 1950,” said Holmes. “I
have cited ample precedents to
establish this project as an old
project. not new, but they have
thus far turned down all prece
dents—l kept at this a week
after the members of the com
mittee who were in Washington
left."
Regarding the construction of
a new bridge between Pasco and

run into difficulties because of

Pyramid
0! Taxes
lsSeen!
I! BILL BEQUE'I'I'E
E An opinion by the state at
itorney general virtually threat
rens to “hamstring" next year’s
operation of Kennewick area
; hospital and fire districts and the
Mid - Columbia library, The
Courier-Reporter learned.
The attorney general, Smith
Troy, held that property in rural
areas when fire, library and hos
pital ' districts were organized,
and which since have been an
nexed-i by Kennewick, still are
subject to levies for those dis
tricts. '
If applied, this ruling, 'accord
ing to Benton county auditor R.
E. Wise, would pyramid taxes in
those areas past the 40-min
limit. State, county, city and
school taxes in those areas now
total 37 mills. This would leave
three mills for the fire, library
and hOSpital districts, which
have asked for four, two am
three mills, respectively.
IBGARDED AS “LAW"
An assistant in the office of
Benton County Assessor Ira Hart
man at Prosser, who was absent
from his office Thursday, said
the attorney general’s opinion
was regarded as “law." He indi
cated that it would be applied.
So, in Troy’s opinion, the
county assessor must reduce the
millage of these three districts,
on a proportionate basis, so that
the total is three mills.
And, since taxes must be uni
form, the library district levy for
the rural areas of Benton and
Franklin counties would be only
two-thirds of a mill. This, it was
estimated, would not raise
enough money for even mini
mum library service.
"The Mid-Columbia library was
voted overwhelming]; by rural
residents of the two counties last

ing books since June to farm
homes throughout the two coun
ties- with a bookmobile—a “li
brary on wheels.” Several weeks
ago it moved its headquarters li
brary into spacious quarters sup
plied by Kennewick, which has
contracted with the new library
for service.
PICTURE rs 81.38!
The picture appeared bleak
also for the fire and hospital dis
tricts. The fire district, like the
library, has borrowed money.
Boards of directors for the
three districts declined comment
until they have had full oppor
tunity to analyze the opinion,
and its implications.
However, Wise wrote that “it
looks to me like this (application
of the opinion) will be disastrous
to all three districts, and I know
of nothing that can be done.”
The opinion, dated Aug. 25,
was addressed to Malloy Sens
ney, Benton county prosecutor. It
was in reply to 'a letter written
by Sensney Aug. 3 and it was
signed by C. John Newlands, an
assistant attorney general.
It contended that the conclu
sion of the opinion. according to
the constitutional provisions
willicl} it quoted, were “inescap

Flood Control
Pact Reached
Stanton Ganders, state senator
from the 16th district. told The
Herald Tuesday that the'city of
Kennewick and the state Depart
ment of Conservation and Devel
opment had signed an agreement
for flood control work in the
c ty.
Ganders, in a special dispatch
to The Herald, said that the total
amount of the project is $54,350
and that the state will partici
pate to the amount of $27,175.
The state senator said, “I am
very happy to hear of this as it is
the first one of its kind in my
district."
Dick Rector, city superinten
dent of Kennewick told The Her
ald this morning that the south.
western part of Kennewick, that
has suffered heaviest from the
spring flash floods, will be the
greatest beneficiary of the funds.
Among the flood control project
which are to be constructed, is
a dam in the Zintel Canyon on
West Tenth street.
Curbs, walks, drains and a de
pressed street surface will be
constructed on West Seventh
between South Vancouver and
South Rainier and on Seventh
street between Kennewick ave~
nue and South Rainier.

In Scope
Passage of an ordinance“
which sets forth definitions of
things the city will henceforth
term “nuisances" was completed
Tuesday night by the Kenne
wick city council.
The ordinance. which has the
overall job of aiding police and.
firemen in removing safety and
fire hazards, got through the
council without a dissenting
,vote.
Among other things, the ordi
nance prohibits the burning of
any trash or rubbish in any
street or alley; all unnecessary
noises including the “unreason
able ringing” of church or other
bells; habitual howling of dogs
and the operation of vehicles
with inadequate mufflers.
LONG mu: GONG
The ordinance was a long
time in the making and contin
ually has come up for discus
sion. However, all councilmen
agreed that the city needed it.
Observers pointed out the os
dinance covers a multitude d
objections.
“We are aiming this at any
thing which can be considered
objectionable to residents of the
City or Kennewick." ‘
‘ The ordinance hits directly at
prostitution. with a section ban
ning “all houses, rooms, booth
or other structures used as a
place of resort where women are
employed to draw customers and
are guilty of lewd and lascivious
behavior, or used as a place of
resort for dancing where women
or girls solicit for salary or com
mission the sale of intoxicating
liquors, or used as a place or re
sort for dancing where disorder
ly persons are allowed to con-‘
gregate. or» used are resort
where drunkenness is carried on
