the check given by C C. Frasier as pay
ment on impounded stock, upon which ha

The chairman of the special committee
made a verbal report stating that they
had met for the purpose of investigating
rumored charges which had been called
to their attention of the misconduct of two
city officers. (The result of their findings
was published in full on the evening
following the meeting.)
At this junction Mr. Fowler introduced
the following resolution which was un
animously passed.

Engineer Picklerwas present and stated
that the engineering corps now
camped on Rock creek and expected to

ing the levels and general topography of
the country. This fa:t had been assured
that there, are over 600 feet fall
from the point where the water will be
taken out of Beaver creek to a point above

Four ballots were taken in an attempt
to elect a city attorney and the matter
was passed over to the next meeting.
J. 3. Eddy, right of wav acent of the
O. R. &. N. Co. being present desired to
know what was the intention of the coun
cil in reference to the passage of an ordi
nance which had been introduced to regu
late the rate of speed of trains through
the city and for the protection of street
crossings. Mr. Edde stated that the
company very much desired that no radi
cal action be taken until the improvements
now i n course of constructions were com
pleted and both the city and the company
would know to what extent the new
arrangements would relieve the Fir street
crossing. The council took the same view
and promptly killed the ordinar.ee.
An ordinance was passed ordering the
improvement of 2nd st. also on S st. and
an ordinance making the salary of the
street superintendent S75 per month.
The La Grande Evening Observer was
selected as the Official paper of the city.
