elimination of the Hollywood and Meenach overflows into the Spokane River as well as the expansion of sewer plant capacity to handle 29 other storm sewer overflows into the rivsr. DOE's 1979 project list would assign $540,000 in state and federal grants for design work on the elimination of the Meenach and Hollywood overflows, which account for about 81 percent of the storm sewer overflows into the river. Glenn said that DOE's new project list would allocate $900,000 in state and federal grants for Hollywood-Meenach design in 1980 and $180,000 in state and federal grants for design in 1981. He added that the Spokane sewer project is scheduled for state and federal construction grants of $4.4 million in 1980, $7.4 million in 1981, $5.4 million in 1982 and 1983. Glenn pointed out that the state has assumed it would receive annual federal grant appropriations of at least $73.3 million for the years 1980-1983.

Speculation has risen that federal sewer grant appropriations may fall to $53 million next year because of Carter Administration budget cuts, he said. Sterling said that the DOE also is presently awaiting an EPA environmental impact statement on the storm sewer overflow project. The environmental impact statement was expected last November and could be a crucial element in the existing court action against the city to ban any storm sewer overflows into the river, said Sterling. The final 1979 DOE sewer project list included more funds for a Pullman sewer project, providing state and federal construction grants of $1.1 million for two Stadium Way sewer interceptors, Glenn said. Last November DOE has proposed to assign only $225,000 in state and federal grants to the Pullman project.

But the final DOE 1979 project list shifted a $360,000 state and federal grant for design work on a Deer Lake land disposal project to 1980, Glenn indicated. OLYMPIA A final 1979 state list of municipal sewer project grants has delayed the proposed construction schedule of a North Spokane County sewer project from 1980 to 1983. The project list was submitted Monday to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency after the state Department of Ecology rewrote the list four times this fall and winter. It would assign $89.2 million in federal grants, including $73.3 million in new appropriations, and allocate another $13.3 million in state matching funds for 1979 municipal sewer projects, said Norm Glenn, head of DOE's water quality management section.

He said local governments also must provide matching funds equal to 10 percent of the state and federal sewer project grants. The project list would shift the proposed start of construction of a North Spokane sewer project from 1980 to 1983. Glenn said DOE officials now have concluded that it will take several years to obtain necessary local funding for such a project and to determine the best possible system to handle North Spoiane County sewage. However, he said that the North Spokane has been assigned $450,000 in state and federal grants for design in DOE's 1979 project list. The North Spokane project previously had been scheduled for a $3.75 million state and federal construction grant in 1980, but Glenn said that DOE now has alloted the construction grant in 1983.

Rhys Sterling, environmental quality division supervisor in DOE's Spoiane office, said the department wants to increass the capacity of the city's system and plant before starting a North Spokane project. "We expect the city won't be ready" for the North Spokane sewage before 1983, he said. He indicated that the Spokane city sewer system improvements would involve the 1 1 I I 1 1 1 I 1 1 1 I I 1 i House begins its session Olympia.

I'll enjoy it from that standpoint." Williams, 56, received a moment of his Superior Court service during Monday ceremonies which featured frequent mention of the nswest justice. State Superior Court Judges Association President Robert J. Bryan, one of several guest speakers on the program, presented former Washington State Judges Association president Williams with a gavel. The inscription read, "To Bill Williams, in appreciation of 20 years contributions and leadership, from your friends in the Superior Court." "The tradition of excellence will continue," Bryan said of Spokane native Williams' election to replace retiring Justice Orris L. Hamilton last fall.

The praise began when Gonzaga law school graduate Williams was presented to take his oath of office by Spokane attorney Jack R. Dean, Williams' only former law partner and campaign manager. "We starved together with dignity," Dean said of that early practice, smiling broadly above his blue and white bowtie. Justice Robert F. Brachtenbach, a Yakima resident and the court's only other representative from east of the Cascades, added some levity by telling Williams his "first and most important duty" would be opening the door when the other justices came to the bench.

"It is a highly specialized skill," Brachtenbach, also sworn in as acting chief justice during the ceremonies, said. "Bill will do that well." Justice Robert F. Utter, sworn in earlier in the morning as the youngest chief justice in state history at age 48, continued in a similar vein. "Justice Williams has already won my respect for a reason he wouldn't guess," Utter said. "He reserved as many seats for relatives (at the ceremonies) as I did." Justices Hugh J.

Rosellini and Charles T. Wright, both re-elected to their bench seats last fall, were also sown in at the program which featured additional comment from guests such as Gov. Day Lee Ray and state Attorney General Slade Gorton. Rose Ilini, dean of the Supreme Court bench with 24 years of service, said he would not seek another court term following the end of his new term in 1984. L1 13, a Hide Fur De ot OLYMPIA William H.

Williams is again one of a group of nine judges. But instead of taking his seat on the nine-man Spokane County Superior Court bench, as hs has done every year since 1958, Williams this January finds himself a freshman on the state's highest court. Williams was sworn in as the state Supreme Court's newest member here Monday morning as the court and the 46th Legislature began their 1979 sessions. In his first official duty a short two hours later, Williams administered similar oaths to 25 newly elected or re-elected state senators as that body began its deliberations for the biennium. Sitting in the Senate gallery during a recess, Williams spoke with interest, if not familiarity, about his role when the court begins hearing arguments this morning.

"It will be different," Williams said of his work on the body which reviews decisions made by lower courts across the state. "I'll miss not seeing the lawyers and talking to them. I always enjoyed that in Spokane. OLYMPIA (AP) Waging the first protest of the 46th Legislature, about 60 members of a group opposed to motorcycle restrictions gathered at the capital Monday. Greg Walker, state coordinator for Brotherhood Against Totalitarian Enactment, said the group would sit in on the opening of the Legislature, but no formal demonstration would be waged.

The statewide group, which estimates its membership at 500 members, opposes attempts by the Washington State Patrol to have a law requiring helmets re-enacted, said Ralph Sweeney, a spokesman. 11 DON'T LOOK!

If past sessions are any indication, most of the activities will be ceremonial and of the "getting organized" variety.

Phil Talmadge, D-Seattle. The proposal calls for a Senate made up of no fewer than 75 members and no more than 99 members, each representing a senatorial district. Unlike the Nebraska Legislature, members under Talmadge's plan would be elected by party. Decorate suit your lifestyle with Dutch Boy Paints to Si Du Apart It 41A 4,.

It took months. On opening day, the emphasis is on pomp and pageantry, with new members sworn in and new leaders elected. Ordinarily, it's about as interesting as watching a piece of petrified wood. But this year, with a 49-49 tie in the House, observers will be holding their breaths until Democrat John Bagnariol and Republican Duane Berentson are actually elected co-speakers. In the Senate, election of officers and the other opening day rituals will go much smoother.
