There was a protest filed to' establish
the grade oa 6th street and the matter
was refered to the street committee.
That regular semiannual petition
by tbe residents who reside aero the
track asking that the - railroad com
pany be compelled to provide different
means of disposing of their waste
water, was again filed last night and
tbe sstue old story was forth-coming
that the company was just cn tn eve
of adjusting Ibis matter. This bas
been ft nuisance for several years and
the company should be mads to reme
dy it. The conditions tbr are a
mensce to the health of this oity seve
ral months in each year.
' The Mayor recommended that tbe
city take steps to prevent Mr Bunt
from repairing bis building damaged
by tbe recent fire and to remove the
same.
Tbe city recorder wa instructed that
owing to the lacl that tbe waters of
Mill creek was . failing, that the oity
will demand $200 for tbe next month
to furnish tbe O R & N with water.
Liquor lisoenses were granted t j C O
Rockwell, James Murphy, - Chris
Wright, Ulriob Lotf and J L Klein,
but refused to grant J L Cbriataioson
a license on tbe grounds covered in
the mayor message.; ; f , j
In the matter of tbe election of two
cooooilraeo- under the new oharter,
owing to tbe fact that there Is not ft
copy of the new charter yet published,
tbe exact provisions are not known
and tbe mayor was of the opinion tbat
it was not absolutely necessary for the
counsel to elect any, and in case they
did, tbeir action might complicate tbe
legality of the passage ol oidinanoe.
This will reoeive. consideration later.
