J ryU i i'i I AT YOUR GROCER'S Council to Take Initiative Toward Bond Issue TO EXHAUST $75,000 LIMIT Pelllion For Another Sight Officer Denied Expertlng Measure Sllll Hangs Fire A controversy over a SCO leenl fee and action on Ave petitions wore the features of a three-quarter hour meeting of tho city council Monday night. Tho bill for legal services was presented by Attorneys John T. Long and F. G. Micelll for represent ing the city In the case of Senator Albert Abraham, who unsuccessfully contested the valldltly of the ordin ance under which tie was licensed $10 for practicing law. After several minutes of argument the claim was allowed In the full sum of $50. Two ordinances were given final readings, but only one was passed. This one has for its object the pro tection of the pavement from unnec essary mutilation. The other ordin ance provldos a maximum appropria tion of $500 for exporting the city's financial records of the past eight years. A majority of the council re fused to allow the measure to be placed on Its flnnl passage, fearing defeat for It by the adverse votes of two of the eight councllnien present. More Paving Wanted. The most Important of the Ave pe titions wblch were received by the council asked for another 'bond Isbuo, this time in the sum of $40,000, for tiie extension of street paving. It Is the wish of the petitioners that, if their prayer Is granted, the procedure be the same as that w'hlch governed the first paving Issue of $115,000. Hence, they did not want their peti tion regarded as an initiative docu ment, but only as a recommendation. The council, in repeating former pro cedure, would have to take the for mal Initiative Itself, declaring Its In tention of floating 'bonds and then call a special election to allow the citizens to either ratify or reject the proposal. Without a dissenting vote the council grunted the petition, and Mayor Ilaynes instructed City Attor ney Neuner to draft the required or dinance to start the project. The petition is signed by Bcores of local citizens, exclusively property ownerB. While non-freeholders mny vote at any municipal election, the promoters of the proposed Issue decided that a petition from property owners exclu sively would carry more weight with the council In a question Involving such a largo Bum as $40,000. This amount added to the existing paving Issue of $35,000 will exhauat the $75,000 limit prescribed by the charter. The petition mnko no suggestions as to what particular streets should be paved. Where I'nviliK Ih Wunted. Another of the flv petitions to the council, anticipating a second bond Issue, asking for the laying of bltullthic pavement on Stephens street, from Cass to Blakeley, In the Waite Addition, a distance of 11 and 3-4 blocks .The petitioners, property owners directly affected by tho pro posed Improvement, make their prayer conditional upon the city pay' ng 50 per ctnt of the cost. Thta petition was luld oil the table upon the suggestion of Mayor HiiyneB, who pointed out that th council would be in no position to act on it until a bond Issue was author ized. No IMrii Night Officer. A third petition to the council waB from business men and residents of lower Caaa and Sheridan HI reels asking for the appointment of an other night policeman to patrol that section of the city, which borders the railroad yards. A fourth, bear ing 87 signatures, asked that the appointment fnll to Ch lit. L. B KnausH. who at present acts ai special night patrolman on part of JackBon and Main mrcetB ana tne connecting west blork of Cbsb, re ceiving from prlvnto Buliscrlptlon $40 ner month. The petition asked the council lo extend Knauss's beat so as to Include RoBe and lower Cass street and to add $20 per month to the amount he Ib receiving from the huxInesB men for patrolling hl orepent beat. l'non motion of Micelll Hie petl Hon asking for the creation of the new police Job wa "Indeflnltle no.tnoned." Mullen voicing a Boll tary "no." Thin action, as a matter of course, sidetracked the KriaiiBB petition. Mlrell! did not explain his motion. From other sources It Is learned, however, that he regarded the petition solely as an effort to provide a Job for a friend (not necessity for additional police pro- Arc Ught Asked For. Petition No. 5 before the council asked for the establishment o.f an tiro light at the intersection of Musher nnd Stephens utrcots. Upon motion of Mullen It wbb referred to the light committee, of which Mul len Ib chatrmau. To the city Improvement conimlt- toe was referred two complaints. One of thene, Al. Creuaoii, relates to a Btanding pool of water at Secoad Avenuo Suuth and North Jackson streets. Stonewall Cawlileld asked for change in the location of the manhole of the Fullertou Avenue sower, which, ho said, In its present location, would interfere with a ce ment sidewalk which he ia going to lay in front of his mother's property, on West Lane Btreet. Attorneys Paid In Full. The $50 bill of Attorneys Long and Micelll for legal services 4u the Abraham case came up for action on tho report of Bound and Bellows of tho Judiciary commlttoo, recommend ing that the claim be pruned down to $20. Mullen moved ami Jones added a Becond to allow the sum of $20, but tho niotiou never got to a voto, tho argument Interjected caus ing tho Judiciary committee to change its idea about the matter and support a motion to allow tho bill in the full amount. The bill com prised tho one Item of preparing the brief which basod City Attorney Neuner'8 argument In the Supreme Court and resulted In a victory for the city. Admitting alike that they knew practically nothing of the value or legal work, Hound and Bellows con sidered that $20 was ample pay for preparing n brief without arguing It. In reaching this decision tnoy wore guided Bomewhnt by tho fact that Lone nnd Micelll had already re ceived $100 for lighting tho caae In the lower courts, uound argueu further that Neuner, for appearing In the Supreme Court, charged only 140. out of which he paid his own expenses, while the attorneys who merely prepnred the brief were charging $50, with no expenses at all to pay. Ilound was willing, now evcr, to yield to Mr. Neunor's Idea on tlio mailer. nuureHfuig council, Mr. Neuner explained tnni the preparation ot a brief was a much harder task than arguing It afterwards, and in this case ho was of tho opinion that the $50 fee charged by Micelll and Long was very reaBonanie. This statement satisfied Bound and Bellows as to Hie fairness of tho claim and they amended tneir re port recommending tho payment oi $50. A motion was then put to al low thttt Bum and It enrried unani mously. During the discussion ot the original report favoring me pay ment of only $20, Councilman Mi celll remarked: would rather Bee this oiu uib- allowed altogether than cut down a dollar. The city attorney naa torn mo the brief 1s oaBlly worth $50, and I am positive -that if we pay less than that amount the city will be sued." No Cliiince on Defeat. By refiiBlng to let the measure be submitted to a vote, a majority o the councllnien, suHtulnlng Mcciai len's motion, preventing the certain death of the ordinance appropriat ing a maxmum of $500 for expertlng tho city records. Mlcolll, who seconded the motion, explained that to place the measure on final passago hoforo the council as h was nivmeu at that time would kill it and that the most nutritious :, food and the most J dainty and delicious j izff Powder ff Absolutely Punf p jri, No fretting over the biscuit VlA making. Royal is first L0 IwHk aid to many a 4 It was too Important a matter to die. It requIrcB seven votes to enact an ordinance. Of the eight councilman present at Monday night's meeting, four ot them. Bound. Mullen. Bel lows and Jones, are considered hos tile to the expertlng proposition. Friends of the measure will wait until they are sure of the needed seven votes before they will agree to let it come up for final action. From the fact that Mullen and Bound votod against the motion for post ponement It would appear that these two counctlinen, at least, are op posed to the ordinance. Protects Pavement. The ordinance passed relative to the mutilation of the pavement pro vides for Its violation a penalty of a flue ot from $10 to $100, or Impris onment In lieu thereof. Under the terms of the measure no gravel or loose rock can be hauled over the pavement In open wagon boxes; poles or heavy timbers cannot be drngged over the pavemeut; con crete In oo u r so ot mixing must not be deposited on It nor shall traction engines be driven over It. Hewer Protest Denied, The remonstrance from A. C. M armors and the Roseburg National Bnnk against the proposed estab lishment of a Bewer out of the nat ural drain running northwesterly through the heart of the city was dually turnot) down 'by the council, after months of delay In action. No step was taken, however, toward the consummation of the project, plana and specifications for which were adopted by the council long ago. ' How One Doctor Successfully Treats Piioiimonla.
