LA GRANDE EVENING OBSERVER THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1910 PAGE THE:' Mil 11$ LB . SESSI! UST IGIIT All couucllmen were on hand when the council was called to order last evening by Mayor F. L. Meyers for one of the longwlnded 'sessions that reach the midnight hour. The vacant chair on the end of the table where the late George Krelger presided as council man was, cause of.Bllent grief by the councllmen and spectators alike. Re ports of committees and officers brought out that the estimate cost of paving Chestnut street with bltbu lithlc Is $3,597.57. This street is be tween the Foley house and the Blue Mountain house. The commission also reported that the estimated cost of building the block of paving between Third and Fourth on Adams avenue amounted to $3,742.78. On Fourth from Adams to N it la $27,113.50. Two standplpes are needed on Ad ams avenue for flushing the paved streets. This was referred to commit tees. . M. H. KIrtley was requested to pay for the cement walk la front of his property on the Bancroft plan. This is the first Instance of that system since the new improvements began. Reports of a routine nahir Re taining to the city's affairs were read and adopted. The only feature of. "these reports was that $371 had been taken In as fine money in one month. ' The matter of the Farquharson fine where the city confiscated some liquor belonging to Mr. Faquharson and later fined the defendant $111, came up for settlement. The general opinion seems to he that the city will not have to pay the difference betwetn the fine and the cost of the liquor destroyed. The liq uor is said to bevvalued at $160 but as it was difficult to prove the value and it is doubtful If Farquharson will ever push the claim against the city. Street signs carrying important or dinances printed on iron sheets were discussed and figures of costs read from a Chicago house. John Wilson was given permission to build a temporary woodhouse with in the fire limits A petition to amend the existing bi cycle ordinance was read from a large number of citizens In the North east part of town. They claim that it is an imposition to force them to ride In the rough streets as they come, and go to the Palmer mill. What they want is the right to ride on the side walks through the La Grande Investment addition on Second street for the per iod of one hour in the morning and one hour at night. In this connection a propoganda to have bicycle paths along the residence streets construct ed by taxing every bicycle owner one dollar a year came up when Councll . man Orivs made vbat suggestion. The , plan works well elsewhere and it may be adopted here The street commit tee will work out a solution to the problem. : ..- - Ten 'dollars was ordered drawn in favor of the bond buying company to meet necessary deficiencies. : Residents on N and 9th street petl tloned the council for an arc light at that point The petition was largely signed and was referred to the proper committee. The selection of a successor to the late George Krelger was not attained as the council struck a deadlock. R. L. Lincoln's name was presented by forty-two petitioners and the name of B. W. Grandy -was presented with 29 signers. The election will be perfect ed at the next meeting. Two weeks from last night remon strances will be heard on paving and cement sidewalk construction . on Chestnut, Adams and Jefferson. " ' An ordlannce will be intrbduced at the next meeting dealing with the matter of running traction engines and hauling other heavy loads on the pavement, and also denying the right to hitch horses on the pavement for more than a stipulated period. Grant's Pass, Walla Walla, Pendloton and Baker City ordinances will be copied In this respect Foreman Jones of the Sutherlin Co. was hired to officiate as inspector for the cfty on the work of building the HAW RVntom TM . constantly on the Job, but as Mr. Jones cannot take the matter in hand until early next week, Engineer Darley will assume that position temporarily. It la likely that the work will be sus pended for there Is no pipe and the alleys are being needlessly blockaded while the trenches are being opened and will remain open until the pipe arrives. The company will have to dig trenches at a point where it will not conflict with traffic until the pipe is actually here. Advertisements will be Issued for sale of local improvement bond to the number of $60,000. ' : The re-survey of the Beaver creek wherein the corner have to be re-tied, will commence next Monday as per re quest of the land office department A board sidewalk is ordered on the east end of N avenue. A similar walk is ordered on Cherry street from Ad ams to the east end of N avenue. . Citizen Julius Fisher appeared be fore the council with a complaint about the condition ' bf , sidewalks where cement walks have been con structed on proper grade and the old board walks at either end create mud holes of the cement walk in the rainy seasonThe matter will be properly cared for. , - ' ,. ; " . For the first time in the eastern part of the city; one street off Adams both sides will be improved! Pennsyl vania avenue, recently, enhanced in beauty and value by the con struction of cement walks the en tire south side Is to have cement side walks on the" north side of the street from Fourth to Washington. v. An ordinance was Introduced order ing' the mayor and recorder to pur chase a Burrows adding machine. A 'contract will be entered Into be tween the city and H. L. Shafer for the construction of board walks on C avenue in south' La Grande. The matter of dog taxes came up again and the pound master was or dered to increase the receipt from thul source by seizing untaxed dogs. No bids were on hand when the mat ter of letting the contract for work at the river's edge where a city dumping ground is to be perfected. The matter will have to go over for another two weeks and in the meantime something will be done to allow the livery barns a chance to dump refuse from the stables on land contiguous to the city. xzzz Careless About Appendicitis la La Grande. Many La Grande people have chron ic appendicitis which la carelessly treated as if it were ordinary bowel or stomach trouble. If you have wind or gas in the stomach or bowels, sour stomach or constipation, try simple buckthorn bark, glycerine, etc., as compounded in Alder-i-ka, the new German appendicitis remedy. A. T. Hill states that a single dose of this simple remedy will relieve any bow el or stomach trouble. ' They Have a Definite Purpose. Foley Kidney Pills give quick relief in cases of kidney and bladder ail ments. Mrs. Rose Glaser Terra Haute, Ind., tells the result in her case. "Af ter suffering for many years from a serious case of kidney trouble and spending much money for so called cures, I found Foley Kidney Pills the ouiy ineaicine tnat gave me a perma nent cure. I was laid up In bed with severe backache and pains, but after taking Foley Kidney Pills for four weeks as directed I am again able to be up and attend to my work. I shall never hesitate to recommend them." Hills Drug Store. ,.
