The remainder of the $185.ooo will be used for la.vlng the waler main to supply the Mount F.mily Timber company mill as promised by the commission last year, repair ing the city reservoir and the pipe line.

This well l to In1 used as an aux iliary water supply and lr Lau dis, L.

Speaking of the soluiion to the water problem Mr. Land Is said thai (he present $IM.M00 proposal was by far the cheapest permanent permanent project placed before the voters since the necessity pre sented Itself, Tie sewage dlMosnl projevt is : nltsolutely lmiH-rutHc, said Hie : sjM'aker. who Mated that nt the present lime the plant has been j f-omtemm-d by Hip Mate hoard of I liealfh and the city is In nm j stunt danger of damage bulls 1 from Ihe willcy farmers. Or. Iundls continued that the Oorr Clarifier had been selected after a good deal of Investigation and consultation with experts and would when completed with a filter bed take care of this municipal problem for years to come. Would Ooerease Hales The $45,01)0 asked for new fire equipment and to provide housing fuel lilies for the depart ment has been brought about by a threat - ned 1 U per cent Increase In In mil untie rates and a guarantee or a seven per cent lower rate In case the city obtains the modern equip ment. The lo per cent Increase in the rates will cost the city $40,000 annually, according to Or. Wtmlis if the new and modern equipment will not have been obtained. The $25,000 asked for Ihe con struction of the city storm sewers is a comparatively recent problem brought forth by the additional blocks of pavement which load the present storm sewers above capac ity, flood many of the basements and at tlmex make It impossible for a person lo traverse the streets.

Burr or the Onion Pacific estimating that Ui Grande could be supplied with un abund- inee of good water from the pres- nt source of sipply ut U cost of approximately $HMi.oiHi. This letter was read by or. La li tis at (lie request of .tY. Smith. ind varied with tin plan proposed by the commission principally Pi that Or. Barr'a specif leal ions call ed for using the present Beaver creek dam instead of bringing the water to La Grande In a. direct flow. Or. Lnndls answered this by saying that the dam would not be destroyed but could be kept lor use If ever needed in the f i- ture. Mr. Smith then replied lhat the, lam had been poorly construct 'd and would not stand three years without repairs. lie turned to L. M. lloyt who was present In the audience for a verification of tlds Mtiitement with the remark that Mr. lloyt was familiar with, the circumstances lor he had built the dam. Mr. Ilu.d lieplicH. Mr. lloyt immediately rose to a point of order and slated with some beat that lie Had nan no hand In the construction of the dam and that he knew at thei time. It was built that the Job was being poorly done but that the commission had refused lo act on Ills recommendations out of courtesy to the engineer then in the employ jof the city. j Several sjggesuoua were matte : by citizens for the drilling .of wells In various localities and some Instances were cited in ; w hich ihe deep wells had proved i successful. On ring tills part of the session several of the repre- j sentatlves of various organizations; arose and pledged themselves toj make favorable reports on the j entire bonding Issue as proposed.' The principle objection to the Issue voiced last evening was made by Colonel K. S. Jvanhoe, j w ho contended that the city should make the $15,000 attempt to drill a successful deep well before mak-i lug the expenditures on the Beuv-: er creek supply. Mr. Jvanhoe also maintained that the ft re department was now functioning efficiently and that further equipment was unneces sary. He did admit, however, that Hie property owners had no recourse with the Ot per ceit raise In rates threatened by the lnsu t a nee com panics. With the discussion concluded the commission turned to regular business. Hearings on Improve ment districts number 150, for sidewalks In Connordale and 1-10 u newer in Komlg's addition, were held and 4hv clly recorder uulh orlzed to advertize for bids. t Iileftgo Finds New Way To Make Better Smoke CHICAGO (AP) A long hori zontal gas burner playing a stream of fire into a pile or hardwood sawdust creates the smoke for cur ing hams und bacon In Chicago's packing plants. At one time wood fires were smudged lo produce great quantities of smoke which came In direct coneaet wit h the meat, but Ihla system has been dis carded. t'ntler the present method the hardwood sawdust becomes pulver ized and smoulders and produces what Is said to be a superior smoke for meat packing purposes.. An other of the refinements is that the temperature of the meat is brought up to the proper point be fore t lie smoking process begins. This Is accomplish ed by allowing the gas lo burn u short time be fore the sawdust Is added.
