The village wa- ter system was extended and a water softening plant built at a cost ef $60,000, A $100,000 bond issue was voted for an addition to the high school. Year-round gar- bage collection was started cn a tax basis. A referendum on teachers’ housing was voted on and the cemetery should head the list when the action phase began. Five hundred people turned out to beautify thelr cemetery; 26 trees of saw log dimensions were cut down, heavy brush was removed ant tons of rub- bish carted awa: New shrubs wate planted and grass and flowers now grow where once was wild bush. Its townfolk learned the need for attracting new industry to replace the lumbering that once made their sectlon prosperous. They have started an experimen- tal farm and found new grasses for pasturage, grasses that farm- ers already are using with con- success, plan ty-th lots were bought in the village and the utilities extended. A number of small factories, all locally own- || ed and financed, have been est- ablished, Winlock, Washington: In one day the Winlock peop- le painted every building in the town proper.
