ing and loitering in the public streets,
alleys and parks between the hours of
12 an 5 a. m., and providing a penalty
not to exceed $25, wds passed.
The matter of bids for the water
bonds was then taken up, and the pro­
posal of Keen & Company was read.
Cashier Hall, of the Bank of Cottage
Grove, said the bid was not for the
bonds advertised. Aiderman Lawson
said the difference between a five and
six per cent bond would amount to $25,-
000 in the‘twenty-five years. Mr. Wood
said the additional net cost to the city
would be $16,000.
Aiderman Lawson had expected bids
from Portland and Seattle, and there
must be some reason for not getting
any. Bond houses may consider it
too large an undertaking for a town of
this size, or perhaps we haven’t gone
at it right. This bid, he said, is out of
the question.
Mr. Hall said the trouble Was that
no provision has been made for creat­
ing à sinking fund. The purchasers of
bonds want a guarantee of payment of
principal and interest.
The mayor said the ordinance provid­
ed that if the revènue from thè water
system was insufficient the council was
given the right to levy a tax fot the
purpose.
Mr. Wood said Mr. Hall’s statement
was probably true. Bond houses want
a fund for the purpose only.
Aiderman George Atkinson moved a
postponement of the matter, and that
the recorder be instructed to correspond
with Keen & Company, which motion
prevailed.
Aiderman Bartel introduced the ques­
tion of raising the health officer’s sal­
ary to $10 per month, inasmuch as the
government now requires a weekly re­
port. The matter was referred to Ai­
derman Kime for investigation and a
report at the next meeting.
