five years from the time the bond was;
executed. As far as the $10 ofleren
to the citv by Milliard & Mifiinnis
lor tnakiiiK certain repairs to tin1
pavement in North Uosehtu was
concerned, Attorney Abraham aid
the acceptance of this sum by I he
city would in no manner invalidate
the bond. Ihiefly, it was Attorney
Abraham's opinion that any defect in
-.vurKiuaiiKuip ui i no iimo me pave-j
meiit was laid would have to be made;
t;oud by the contractors or their j
bondsmen.
The report of the city attorney
raised the question of whether the j
present defects in the pavement in!
North KoRehui'K were due to inferior)
workmanship or some other element.'
Councilman Clark said he had exnni-'
I lied the pavement carefully and had j
found that the contractors did not i
comply with the plans and specific;!-1
Hons. For instance, he said the:
contract called for a thn'e foot fill-;
intf behind the curbs. This part of!
the contract. .Mr. Chirk said the con
tractors had neglected entirely. In'
order that the true cuniiitions of thoi
pavement in North Kui-HuirK miht!
be ascertained the mayor referred,
he matter buck to the siret commit-j
lee. In the event this committee finds
u;,;t the present detects in the pnvo-j
inent. are due to inferior workman-!
ship steps will be taken to compel j
Milliard & MetJinnis or their bonds,
men to remedy the same.
In a seennd Mpinion the city attor
ney said ho had made a personal in
vestigation of eondhlmis at tho junc
tion of Mosher and South Jackson
streets and had found that a mntorial
improvement could be made there
without Instituting condemnation
proceedings against either of the
property owners effected. It was the
! city attorney's opinion that the curbi
; abutting tho property of ltinger Her-j
mann and Iliinan Wollenbers could,
bo so changed as to afford ample
; roadway as desired by the property
owners making the" request. City lOn
giueer Hicks coincided with the city
attorney's views and was of the opin
ion that the work could be dono for
Hid. Oi). Of course, he said, this
figure was a guess, end was not defl-
nite. The city attorney said ho had
Interviewed both Mr. Hermann and
Mr. Wolienberg and had found them
willing to allow the alteration of the
conditions existing there in the event
' the city would stand the expense of
: tho change. The street improvement
committee was Instructed to further,
i Investigate the proposition, ascertain
1 the cost of the change and report
their findings at the next regular
j meeting of the city council,
j Tho Douglas County Water and
Light company lust evening presented
j a bill to the city in the sum of
; $2.14(1. 10. Including lights for the
i month of November and a balance
alleged to be due the compnny under
! tho former administration. The bal
1 auce. according to the bill submitted,
! amounts to $1,739.
In addition to this bill tho water
I and light company also presented a
j bill for water in the sum of $93.75.
plus that used at the municipal barn
dining the month of November,
j which amounted to $2.30. upon mo-
tlou of Councilmnn Hamilton the com
i pany was allowed $.too on account.
! plus $2.30, which represented water
used at the city bam. The city has,
been without a light contract fort
many months, and according to a
practice adopted by M;iyor Mieelli ,
and members of the old council the
munlripiilitv hns been allowing thej
water and light companv the sum of
$300 monthly. The difference be-'
tween the swum psul .aui the amount j
alleged to be due the company now1
amounts to $1,739. j
The bill for water submitted at i
last evening's meeting of the touncil,
with the exception of .;;t ised at the
city barn, was held up pending an
investigation by committee on cur
rent expenses and accounts.
.lust what will be done by the coun
cil relative to liquidating the light
debt accumulated under the old ad
ministration remains to be seen. The
light company insistsMnat the city
owes them the balance above men
tiom.'d, while the city contends that it
is- unable to pay in excess of $300
; or i.talh for illumination.
As yet the committee on electric
lights has been unable to come to
terms wan the electric light com
pany, and it looks as though a law
suit will eventually prove the means
of adjusting tho dlfl'ieully.
I he ways and means committee!
reported that they had investigated
the proposition of employing an ad
diiional night, policeman, and were of
the opinion that such an officer was
not. needed at the present lime.
The health and police committee
reported that they had fumigated
the city jail and that the same was
now subject lo habitation.
A report was also submitted by
the health and police committee re
garding an alleged defective catch
basin on Sixth street in North Hose
burg. The committee reported that
the catch basin was at present with
out an intake or outlet, and conse-:
queiuly was of little or no use. No
action was taken relative to repairing
the basin at this time.
The committee on electric lights
reported that they had been unable
to reach nn agreement with the light
company to date, and asked for ano
ther week's time in which to file a
report. This committee was selected
to confer with the officials of the
local water and light company, and,
if possible, come to some terms re
garding the furnishing of lights to
the city. At present the city has no
contract with the electric light com
pany. The electrical Inspector reported
that he had made nine complete in
spections and four partial inspections
during tii past month, in two in
stances the wiring was turned down
as defective.
A resolution was adopted compell
ing William Kuopp of North Hose
burg to construct a sidewalk abutting
his property.
Plans and specifications for the
paving of the Perkins alley were pre
sented and placed on file. They were
not considered for the reason that
the property owners eftected have
reached an agreement whereby they
expect to puve the alley by private
contract.
A request of the regular city em
ployes asking that they be allowed
to draw their pay on the first of the
month, regardless of when the coun
cil meets, wns turned down upon re
rtuest of the committee on current
expenses and accounts.
A bill submitted by Maglnnis IlroB.
for $7.50 for labor as ordered offset
by a bill in a similar amount present
ed by the city for material furnished
the said firm.
