NO LOADS OVER 10 TON Ordnance Drafted to Tlds Effect Hut Not Submitted For Approval Matter Will Come Up . At Next Meeting. Nathan Fullerton The Rexall Store Roseburg, Oregon The common council of the city of Roseburg met in regular session last night. Mayor Rice called the meeting to order promptly at 7:30 o'clock and Councilmen Kidd, Gile, Powell, McClintock, Bullwinkle, Creason and Nichols answered roll call. City Recorder Whipple read the minutes of the previous meet ing, which were duly approved. The petition of Vernon Hinsdale, a local jitney driver, asking that the motor bus license made out to Ray Shields be transferred to his name was read and upon motion of Councilman McClintock and second ed by Creason, the bond was ap proved and the petition allowed. Chairman. Powell, of a special committee, produced a letter from Prank Micelli, a former resident oi this city, regarding default pay ments on the city ilen docket. It seems that Mr. Micelli has allowed property in this city to run delin quent and when notified of the fact, immediately communicated with the city officials to ask an extension of time. The matter received due con sideration and while no otneial or der was made, it was thought ad visable to grant Mr. Micelli a few months time in which to liquidate the discrepancy. A letter was read from W. W. Cardwell notifying the city council that he had again been assessed! for three hundred feet ot paving on North Jackson street,' erroneously. Mr. Cardwell, stated in his letter that he had paid taxes on this par ticular street twice before, not no ticing the mistake and now asks the council to credit these payments to his assessment on Winchester street. The matter was referred to the city recorder with the request that he examine the records and report Jiis findings at the next regular meeting of the council. A letter from M. A. Sligh, of Nug- gett, Ore., setting forth the fact that he had been assessed for a sewer on Prospect street that his property could not be connected thereto, ow ing to the fact that the sewer in question Is higher than his house. In Mr. Sligh's opinion Emery Mars- ters, from, whom he purchased the property, should pay the assess ments. The council holds that If the remonstrance hadi been received before the property was bonded, some action could have been made, but now it is too late and the city can do nouiing to settle the matter. A letter from the public service commission setting forth the fact that the Oregon Gas & Electric Co. had petitioned that body to raise the price of gas was read. The com pany gave numerous reasons why the prices should be advanced. The increase asked for will amount to about 10 per cent over the former price. The matter has been set for formal hearing at which time the council will be notified of the fact and remoustratnees, if any, will be received. Richard Willett, who resides near the new high school building notifi ed the council that poplar trees growing in that locality were con stant menaces to the sewer running along that street and1 he asked that some action be taken to cause their removal. The city recorder was in structed to take the matter up with the school board. City Attorney Carl Wlmberly in rendering an opinion regarding lien taxes, which was up for discussion last meeting, stated that as far as he was able to find out, general taxes were superior to assessment liens. The attorney further advised that sums received from this source ought to be placed in the city lien docket, setting out the amount re ceived, date, payment, description of property, etc. This question arose some time ago when it became known that the city in all prob ability would be forced to take over abandoned property in payment of delinquent taxes thereon andi it is found that if the city does not keep up the taxes on this property that they will be forced to pay the pen alties Incurred when it is taken over. It was! pointed out that the city would only be paying two thirds of the full amount of taxes owing to the fact that the residue Is city tax. no action was taken on the matter. The Coshow-WiHIams controversy was discussed at some length. It will be remembered that Mrs. Co- NEW JITNEY STAND. ' Boyle's Jitney, formerly lo- cated on Cass street Is now at the Palace ot Sweets.

Williams, chief of po lice, ignoring his official capacity when he tore down a fence that the city holds was erected on city prop erty. It was unanimously decided to instruct City Attorney Wimberly to defend! the action against' Mr. Williams and that the city stand the expense of the trial, An ordinance has been drafted by the city attorney, which will be submitted for the approval of the council at the next meeting and if satisfactory no loads will be houled over the city streets exceeding 10 tons, or 20,000 pounds, including the weight of the vehicle. Eight hundred pounds to the incn In width for rubber tired vehicles and 600 pounds in width of metal tires is the limit of load's to be hauled over the pavements. This ordinance in all probability will be accepted at the next assemblage of the council body. The city has no dog pound and as the law sets forth that such an institution should be maintained, an order was made instructing City Re corder Whipple to draft resolutions fixing a place In the city barn lot for this purpose. A. M. Oeland, superintendent of the street cleaning department bought a "camouflaged" horse, or in other words an antiquated "hat rack" for which he squandered one whole dollar. Now the question arises what disposition is to be made of the disparaged animal. Chief of Police T. J. Williams contends that his hide is valued at $3.00 and that some unsuspecting junk man might pay that price for this part of Dob ln's anatomy. However, that would be cruel. The mayor issued orders to the official to get rid of the archaic specimen just as soon as possible. "That will be today," said Mr. Rice. Thefce being no further business to come before the body the meeting adjourned. CLASSIFIED COLUMN FOR SALE At bargain,' Studebaker car, good as new, or will trade for hogs. Box 655.
