Much Important Matter Transacted af Busy Session Last Night Several plumbing firms Jn this city stand to lose their license unltss they comply with the letter of the plumb ing ordinance. Following a report by Plumbing Inspector L. M. Hoyt last night to the city council at its regular meeting that only one firm in the city had so far complied with the law, and that gome have not paid all their li cense fees for the first six months, orders were voted that he proceed to enforce the ordinance. r Some of the plumbers, it seems, do not secure per mits to do plumbing:, do not present their plans and specifications for new work, do not ask for inspection and in other words, are said to somewhat grossly ignore the plumbing ordi nance. -' . .Tb?a la said to be especially true where connections with the sewer now under construction Is going on with out permission. It requires proper vents and connections which the old plumbing systems may not include and when the connections are made with out being reported to the Inspector, there is no way to tell how many have been connected or to Insist on proper vents and other regulations. ... i The petition by more than a score of taxpayers on M, N and O streets ask ing that the sewer plans be changed So that 'the alleys be used rather than the streets, a petition presented to the council a week ago, was reported ad versely by the committee and the re port was ratified later by the, coun cil. Some of the reasons why the sewer should not go through the al leys aTe that the cross sewer on Sixth street has already been laid under the paving and the manholes are in place, for center of the. street sewer. The L. D. S. tabernacle would have to be medicine, and many wealthy people an undermined, the court house and thei nuaily go to that country In search of school house the same way. Several relief for ailment which Aenr nf blocks in the district have no alleys at all. The commissioners reported favor- ably and estimated the total cost for construction of sidewalks on Second street from H to C streets at $407.90. -'set gently on the system on direct con Favorable reports by the same co' jtrast to medicines usually giren. mission were' also made on H from! They can be consulted! without cost. Second to Fourth. ' ' i Those residing out of the'clty can send City Attorney Chas. E. Cochran re- ported his findings on the law In the issue between J. H. Peare and the city in which the former claims dam age for not being able to reach his tract near the disposal tank because of city sewers obstructing the way. It appears that the claims are weij grounded and it will be proposed to Mr. Peare that the amount Involved be settled by a committee of disinterested parties. k ; .' ; ';G ravel. throvn,.p' . in the, digging; of the dl3posartank" will , bej used, it Is believed, to cover the exposed sections of the sewer In east La Grande. A committee of the council will investi gate the feasibility of such action. residents of West La Grande in BIock 8 and 9, want tbe sewer ex tended. ' Rights of way except in two instances have been secured and if si) are provided there seems no Ques tion but what the extension will be made. . : Wanted, a scavenger. Such Is the '.1 nrtislng to go forth soon. F, E. Larkin applied for the position, wl.tn it bacame known that the former scav engoi had teslgned his badge, but the bids for bidders for the work will .he published. ? ; ; Residentu on Third between Ainmi a"d Washington want the cment curbs installed. Their petition was referred., r . i The Fir street cement' walk Im piovonunt district came in for a good deal irf (ilBC-usslon." There are sections where comparatively new walks exist and again others where the walks are dangerous to life and limb.; To reach some holn'ion that will allow the good walks to remain and order the needed walks l allt and yet give those desiring it use of the bonding act is what the street committee wag finally Instruct ed to do.- Bonding districts muBt be taken In their entirety and not in sec tions. . ; . . The gas franchise which exDlred hv ing because Mr. Lambert and trustees ' failed to commence work on the plant within the stipulated time. Some arrangement will have to be made, reported City Engineer Curtiss, to provide sewer facilities to . the wholesale and packing houses on Jef ferson between Fir and Spruce streets. The system as present does not in clude these districts. All those who have 'hooked on" to the sewer have done so without au thority and stand to face some trou ble. There are no records being kept and specific Instructions were given Plumbing Inspector Hoyt to enforce this rule to the letter. Public notice will be given that no more connec tions with the Incompleted sewer be made, will be Issued at once. The prop ty owner does so at some risk. " The council voted, with Councilmen Logsdon and Flnley opposing, to send Fire Chief Jones to Vancouver, B. C to attend the annual convention or northwest fire chiefs, to which all Oregon chiefs are Invariably sent. He will be allowed $100 for expenses. Boosts Because He Likes to. Col. D. C.
