But HI Farewell Speech Had to Be Postponed Proceeding of the Council Councilman Ooddard appeared at the meeting of the city father last night appropriately attired for th ociaslon of hi lost meeting before retiring In to the dim obscurity of total oblivion. He wa anowed under at the last elec tion and h filtered the council cham ber last nlaht n deep mourning. lie wa actually dressed up and might easily have been taken for a third ward masher Instead of the staid old cl y dad that he I. The word "Is" Ik used advisedly a he has the prlvll -g -of holding down hi sent for one more meeting, a special to be called to con Hdr a sitiii ordinance. The wit of the terrible Third fairly bbmsomed last night and thera I doubt If King Solo mon In all hi glory waa ever arrayed the like. The huge black rosette with itreamer upon hi lapel and the band of creje about hi hat bore ailent tes timony to how hi pointed (sometime very much m) wit and ever ready mo tion to adjourn will be missed In the 1ald old hall of ponderous delibera tion. Uod'lard was al and evfn the kind ugg?tlon of Councilman Cook that tlry might secure the position of pounilmoster for htm failed to elicit It effect from him. He did rouse up long enough to make hi customary motion to adjourn, but it was only a ppaamodlc effort and he pulled the mo tion back. The matter of principal Interest be fore the council last evening waa the first and second reading of an ordi nance entitled "An ordinance granting unto Martin Foard. Frank It. Stoke and Charles H. Page the privilege, franchise and right to construct, oper ate and maintain a street railway and electric pole and wire and steam pipe within the oily of Astoria, Ore gon." The ordinance grant to the above-named a TS-year franchise to operate a street railway, erect pol- and string wire for conducting electric current for any purpose for which electricity is used, to lay and maintain a system of pipe to convey gt,-am for hating and mwer purposes throin;h any of the streets of the city. Under It terms the street grante,- must within ten year d'-slgnate what treet they want for a street car line, roust acijulr possessions of the prwnt car line within three months, after the approval of the ordinance and within a year must extend the line one-half mile east from the present terminus and one-half mile W'est from Sixth and Buid street. Otherwise the ordi nance la to be hull and void. The grantfes are to pay the city as a li cense one per cent per annum of the net earnings, but the right Is reserved j to the council to collect not to exceed I 110 annually on each motor car operated by the company. Outside capital in to be Interested In the affair and In the petition for the pasnage of the ordinance it Is respect fu'ly requested that prompt action be taken by the council. The matter was referred to the committee on street nd public way and the city attorney, and a special meeting will be called the last of the week to pas the or dinance If It Is so decided upon. The report of the city surveyor on the grade that could be obtained from th city reservoir to connect with thl end of the survey made of the pro posed Nrhalem road, was read. He slates that by continuing along the present road along the pipe line for a distance of about 300 yards then striking down along the north side of the gully that a grade not to exceed 5 to 6 per c?nt could be ob tained and that the rood would be thus exposed more freely to the drying ef fect of sun and wind than the pres ent road. The report was ordered filed. The board of assessors were ordered to make an assessment for the Im provement of the following streets: Eleventh street. Franklin to Harrison avenue; Seventeenth street. Irving to Jerome avenue, and Commercial street from Fourteenth to Seventeenth street. A communication was read from the poundmaster stating that he had taken up a horse and kept It the required ten days hut that no cne had called for It or offered to take It and that the bill for taking It up was J5 and for keeping It ten days. 110. Offered to take $7.50 for settlement of bill. The matter was referred to the committee on health and police.
