Or. Iundls continued that the

and consultation with experts and
would when completed with a filter

problem for years to come.

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

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

and at tlmex make It impossible

the water situation presented a
letter from Or. 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.

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.
