At the meeting of the city commis
sioners last night the signed contract
of the O-W. R. & N. company to
build the Second street viaduct was
received and accepted. O-W. Engi
neer W. C. Taylor announced that
construction work would begin as- soon
as practicable and that work at the
Albina O-W. shops had already been
started on the structural steel parts.
Ten arrests were made during the
week and $57.50 in fines collected.
Two state cases were included in the
ten arrests. ' .
The report of the city manager for
the week is:
To the Honorable Commissioners of
Jthe City of La Grande:
I Gentlemen: Herewith, I hand you
my report for the week ending Janu-
nry 27, 1917.
The water superintendent has had
considerable trouble with frozen water
pipes. Seventeen places have been
thawed out, requiring "some one thou
sand and sixty feet of pipe to be
thawed. A part of the work was done
with the steam thawer, and the re
mained with open ditches and wood
fires. We are keeping a record of all ,
such places and will lower the pipes
before another winter. The main
opened on T street required a half
day's work. The Fish-trap at O-W.
R. & N. company s yard required
cleaning. Total expense for the week,
$59.25.
The street cuperintendent reports
having made three trips over the side
walks with the small snow plows, De-
sides the usual attention to the gut
ters. He also used the large grader
to open the way to the cemeteries. As
the Odd Fellows cemetery is outside of
the city limits, County Judge Phy of
fered to divide the expense of this
work with the county. Without the
use of the grader it would have been
impossible to reach the cemetery with
the hearse. Total expense for the
week, $34.30.
The fire chief reports no fires for
the week, but on account of the snow
drifts on side streets he has made pro
visions for the use of a team and sled
to carry fire hose. He also had the
street superintendent uncover all fire
plugs that had been drifted over.
The chief of police reports ten ar
rests: 'two state cases, three charged
with drunkenness, and four with dis-
orderely conduct. Total amount of
fines collected, $57.50. Arrested one
proprietor of billiard hall for allow
ing boys under age ofl8 years to fre
quent his place of business. Made
conviction and collected $5 fine there
for. Telephone line to intake out of
commission on account of heavy
storms. Will have same up and in
operation tomorrow. Extra man in
recorder's office will have finished his
work by Saturday night, and office
will continue with usuul force. Have
arranged with numerous citizens who
are delinquent in their improvement
assessments and interest to make set
tlement during the month of Febru
ary. Have been making some collec
tions from those whose payments
have been allowed to be in arrears
from one to four years. v.
Of the several assessments includ
ed within the three sewer improve
ments not yet bonded, the recorder re
ports only two owners of property as
not yet having paid or signed up for
installment payments, but that the
'matter will be closed in two or three
I days.
Following are the reports of the
I recorder and treasurer:
