The second ordinance state the pro posed changes In the city charter, which provides for the issuing of bonds, creates a water com mittee, outlines the plan of construct ing the pipe line, and sets the date for the election at April 8. It I the plan of the council to bring up the second ordinance calling for the election at a special meeting Friday, March 27, at which time the measure will come up for second reading and final passage. Present Petition. A petition was presented to the coun cil, signed by over 150 persons, asking that the tennis court be reestablished at the Seventh street park. A number of student from the high school were present to place the matter before the council. At first It was decided to build the court of the material which was. used last year but a second mo tion was made an passed to make the court permanent and substantial. The electric sign ordinance, which provides that all electric signs must be on hinge but doe not require that the sign be swung against the building during the day, as formerly, was brought up for second reading and passed. Bids Read. Bids for the Seventh street culvert were opened and read. J. W. Shaw offered to do the work for $528 and the Oregon City Engineering ft Con struction company for $489. The coun cil took no definite action but referred the matter to street committee. The culvert would be used to replace the present wooden culvert from the cor ner of Seventh and Center streets to the edge of the bluff and would be constructed of concrete. Liquor Ordinance Passed. The liquor ordinance, which regu lates the soliciting, advertising, and handling of liquor by outside firms and which governs the use of prescriptions and the handling of liquor in drug stores was passed and will be in force as soon aa Bigned by the mayor. An ordinance, providing for the Issu ing of improvement bonds to the value of $24,387.24, was brought up for sec ond reading and was passed. The bonds cover the Improvement of Jack son, Main and other streets. Plan Addition to Cemetery. A plan of plotting 15 acres as an ad dition to the cemetery was brought up by Councilman Metzger. He suggest ed that $200 be appropriated for the work and an ordinance, authorizing the expenditure of this sura will be drawn up. The request of the Clackamas Gas company that the city make slight changes in its franchise and that the name "Clackamas Gas company" be substituted instead of "A. L. Beatle" was taken up at the meeting. A rep resentative of the company explained the reason for the request to the coun cil. The franchise, with the proposed changes, was read for the first time as an ordinance and will come up for final passage at the next regular meet ing. Prepare for Street Oiling. City Attorney Schuebel was instruct ed to frame an ordinance which would appropriate $3,000 to be used for street oiling. Councilman Meyers, who in troduced the plan, mentioned the fact thnt In the spring of 1913, the oiling was begun so late that the city re ceived but part of the benefit which It would have otherwise received. Coun cilman Tooze. at the close of the meet ing, suggested that the city do lta own oilng as he believed that money could he saved. As Mr. Tooze offered this plan merely as a suggestion, no steps were taken at the meeting to carry out the idea. ' The report on the proposed city scales waa read by Mr. Templeton, chairman of the street committee. Two bids had been submitted, the lowest one being for $235. The council au thorized the committer to install the scales and gave any amount up to $300 with which to do the work. The scales will probably be located on Main street at the corner of Fifth. Would Save by Change. A change In the constmction of the Tenth street sewer which it is claimed would save the city between $6,000 and $7,000 was suggested by City Engi neer Noble. As planned at the first the sewer was to have carried the wa ter from several small creeks in the Kansas City district but the engineer believes that by allowing that water to follow Its present course, the sewer need not be so large. Petition for the improvement of two streets in the Falls View addition were brought before the council. Sev eral of the members said that they would oppose the Improvement on the grounds of economy but the city engi neer was ordered to establish the grade and draw up the necessary plans and estimates. Postpone Request. The request of C. T. Tooze that the city give him permit to move two houses from Main street to Washing. ton street on Sixteenth street caused JUDGE 0EN8ON, OF KLAMATH FALLS, 8ENDS DECISION TO ATTORNEYS Mrs. Sarah A. Chase has won In her suit to enjoin the city of Oregon City from constructing bridge to her property on the bluff connecting with the new municipal passenger elevator, which Is now practically completed. Judge Henry L. Itenson. of Klamath Falls, who beard the case tn the Cir cuit Court here, announced this de rision Monday Ip a letter to C. D. Lat ourette, representing Mrs. Chase, and City Attorney Schuebel. After the people authorized a bond Issue for the construction of the ele vator, the council proceeded to let a contract for the construction of the tower, without completing arrange ments for water power to run the ele vator and before property rights on the bluff were secured. Judge Benson now holds that Mr. Chase own to the edge of the bluff, and It will be neces- sary to condemn the right of way over her property, or to arrange with Mr. Chase for compensation for the ap propriation of her property before the city can complete the elevator project. It Is probable that the city will ale a notice of appeal, merely to protect its rights, and will proceed in the Cir cuit Court with the condemnation pro ceedings, which have already been in stituted. The board of appraiser ap pointed by the city council made a re port allowing $1500 to Mrs. Chase for a strip along the edge of the bluff run ning from Sixth to Seventh street, but this amount was not satisfactory to Mrs. Chase and an appeal was taken. C. 1). Latourette and J. E. Hedges rep resented Mrs. Chase and the attorneys for Oregon City were William M. Stone, L. Stipp and C. Schuebel.
