This in itself is creating quite a bit of opposition to the proposed bill as it would entail a heavy ex pense and it is claimed by those who Jiave made a study of the bill that all of the meritorious features of the proposed legislation are now incor porated in other laws and that the enactment of the new measure would impose an additional tax of from on'j und one-half to two mills on the tax payers of this county. Considerable agitation has arisen over the state against the passage of this bill and t) ere is some sentiment here in op position to the measure. MAD COYOTE EPIDEMIC. . (Contb.u irom rage 1.) ' ' Grande in isolated cases. Prompt ac tion, it is hoped, will stamp it out. City Manager Lafky and Chief of Po lice Orai are now working on planB to reduce the dangers. , A report on the developments to date wag made at the meeting of the city commission last evening. Resolutions and ordinances occu pied the time of the city commission ers at their meeting last night. A resolution was passed authorizing tho recorder to issue purchasing bonds in Improvement districts 89, 88, 90 ard 91. . . - , Another resolution passed by the vviiuiuoNuiici aujuDw sumo uMemiicuiS existing in the street assessment of C.

General manager's report for the week ending January 23, 1915. To Joe Commission, Gentlemen The 'police arrested 12 besides one arrest edonc was dismissed and two remain in jail. Fines and forfeitures for the week were $58.00. Pound fees $1.00. There were 15 sleepers. There were no fires last week. 'The street superintendent spent $100.60 excavating under the build ing. Of this $51.00 was prison labor. Also bought one wheelbarrow for $6.00 and paid $33.60 for meal tick- The excavation under tho buildin if far enough along to determine the exact location of the boilers etc., to be installed. The dog tags and recipts are now ready and I recommend a vigorous enforcement of license payment. We all know that a dog becomes almost one of tho family and we are sensi tive on the matter of the dog's rightii. But when we have actual cases of rabies all round us as well as in town we should have no scruples in requiring disposal of all worthless and roaming dogs the better to pro tect the people as well as the dogs worth while. It might be well for owners to keep close tab on their dogs so us not to expose them to at tacks of roamiir logs that may be infected. The inconvenience to peo ple and dogs would not begin to mea sure up to the horrible misery and suffering of one case of rabies wheth er man or beast. A dog acting sus piciously was killed last Sunday aft er biting several dogs and threaten ing to bite several people. : Respectfully submitted, F. J. LAFKY, , '.General Manager. Hot Lunch Furnished. Pendleton, Jan. 27. District No. 39, of Umatilla county, the school which i3 located at Pilot Rock junction, is the only school in 'Umatilla county .that furnishes its pupils with a hot lunch at noon without cost. Whether there are any other schools in the county that follows this novel practice is not known. J. M. Harrison, clerk of the district, is in the city today and declares that the entire school board has pledged itself to this policy. At tirst tne parents were required to furnish the provisions and they were cooked at the school, but because a few of the parents would not stand their share, the board voted to pur chase the provisions with school funds. The cooking is done in the domestic science department of the school, Hot luncheons, make for bettor work on the pnrt of the pupils, according to the way of thinking of the members oi tne board. .
