COOK'S REPORTS
PAVE HALF OF
I
II
Council Jecides On Original
Plan For Improving Street
Other Business.
At last evening's session of the
city council, that body again decided
to impiove North Front street from
Alder avenue to the Cold Storage
plant by paving the west half with
uitumiuous rock and the east half ot
it with plank. -Tho street is to be
brought to grade. Last night's ac
tion was taken in compliance with
the vernal petition of Claude Nas
burg who represented several of the
property owners on tho west side of
the stieet. Ho said the remon
strance that had been filed with the
city council was signed almost en
tirely by property owners on the
east side of the street. Dan Camp
bell said that he had remonstrated
against hard paving on the east
side because the tide would spoil
the foundation for the paving. How
ever, he was in favor of letting the
property owners on the west side put
In the hard paving if they want It.
The council decided to grant the
wish of the majority and the engin
eer was Instructed to prepare plans
and specifications for replanklug
and bringing to grade the east half
of the street. He already had plans
and specifications prepared for the
biuinnnous rock paving on the west
half.
To Quiet Title.
On motion by Councilman Al
urecht, the city attorney was In
structed to take steps to clear the
city's title to the property in Norm
Marshileld known as the city park.
KoDurt Marsden Sr., claims a water
right on the property and also aiv
oi it.
City Recorder Butler said that As
sessor Thrift had notified him thai
the Coos County lioard of Equaliza
tion had fixed November 2 as the
date lor the Marshrield city council
to appear and show reason why the
UoScBbiiients on certain property here
siiould be increased, as had been re
quested. Mr. Thnit wanted the coun
cil to luriush the valuations that
they tiiought should be fixed on the
various pieces ot propeity. The
matter was lett to the finance com
mittee. Stieet Sweeper Here.
The new street sweeping machine
that the council ordered a tew weeks
ago is here aiid the street committee
was instructed to determine how it
should be used. There was some
discussion as to the amount of ter
ritory it should be used on and how
lrlquently It would be required.
Some thought that all ot the paving,
both the bituminous rock and the
plank roads, should be swept. It
will be necessary to hire a team to
do tho work but before any contract
shall be let, it was decided to have
the street committee try the machine
out and see what kind of work it
will do. Chas. Doane and A. G. Ai
ken were preseut last evening and
wanted an opportunity to bid on
operating It.
For Waiting Room.
Tho question of erecting a dopot
or waiting room near the slip of the
Ferry Transit was brought up last
evening and Councilman Nelson
was Instructed to Investigate tho
matter and report to the next meet
ing of the council what would be re
quired. It Is proposed to erect a
shed large enough to protect teams
as well as pedestrians while waiting
for the ferry . It Is understood that
the county commissioners will de
fray one-half tho expense of It. Dan
Campbell wants to lease part of his
building for the purpose.

IELL DENIES
Says He Wouldn't Have Street
Car Line On Bay Under
Any Circumstances.
"You can tell the people that I
did not return to Coos Bay this time
on account of the plan for opening
Sherman avenue for fear that It
would affect our street-car franchise
in North Bend," remarked Seymour
H. Bell, general manager of the Coos
Bay Gas and Electric Company last
evening. "Furthermore you can say
that I don't want and wouldn't have
under any considerations a street
car franchise in North Bend or
Marshfleld."
Mr. Bell's remarks were occasion
ed by the report started in North
Bend to the effect that he didn't
want Sherman avenue .opened be
cause it. would mean that he would
either have to build the street-car
line there or forfeit the franchise he
secured a few years ago. Mr. Bell's
remarks were about as plain as they
could bo made and evidently meant
to convey the impression that he
would forfeit the North Bend fran
chise rather than build there.
