KEXXEWICK, Wash., March 22.
(Special.) Governor Lister was the
guest and spoke to the members of the
-Kennewick Commercial Club at lunch
eon today on the state educational in
stitutions and good roads. He said
that the State University is being built
up to a high state of efficiency
through the efforts of Dr. Suzzallo, the
new president, and that the state is
now receiving fair returns on the an
nual investment of $500,000 for the
maintenance of the university. He
also praised the work of the board of
regents and that of E. O. Fechter,
president, whose term just expired. The
Governor announced that he would re
appoint Mr. Fechter.
In referring to good roads, he said
the policy of the state highway de
partment is not to construct a small
mileage of expensive highway, but
rather to build as much serviceable
road as possible. In speaking of the
need for a bridge across the Columbia
between Kennewick and Pasco, he said
that the completion of the trunk high
ways leading to this point would neces
sitate the building of the bridge.
