The city council met in regular ses
sion Tuesday night. Quite a large num
ber of citir.cn« were present an aevcral
important petition* were to be pre
sented.
The usual routine of passing on bills
etc. was concluded without comment.
A peUtion for lights in the west part
of town was read and one more light
ordered on Water street. Also several
lights were granted on Virginia street
as well as a cross walk on High street.
Two petitions for liquor license were
lead, one for Bailey and Berg, the oth
er for Jones and Cornish. After some
little discussion between councilman
Murphy and Roy, the vote was taken
resulting in three to one. Councilmen
Murphy, Bpaniol and Blakely voting
yea and councilman Roy voting no.
The main Interest of the evening’s
session centered around two petitions
for etrect improvement of a permanent
character, (paving) which had been
prepared under the recent charter
amendment. The two petitions em
brace Second and Third streets from
the south curb of Water street to the
Salem ditch, and the four cross streets
between these two.
•
On one petition 22 out of 33 property
owners had signed, and on the other 12
out of 16 htyd affixed their names to
the petitions.
Remarks were thrown right and left
during the general discussion that fol
lowed in which several citizens aired
both specific and general views on pav
ing.
•The mayor finally appointed a com
mittee to consult an engineer and make
arrangements to have plans and speci
fications prepared to submit to the dif
ferent paving companies.
It really looks as if Stayton were go
ing to pull herself out of the mud and
have decent streets before next winter.
Perhaps if we had, it might be an in
ducement for some one to travel the
streets in the rainy season.
The Public Utility Law as related to
the electric light plant was thoroughly
discussed and laid over until the n e x t;
meeting. The marshal was also in
structed to enforce the curfew ordi
nance.

E. N. Teague, who has been work
ing on the upper section of the Salem
ami Stayton ditches, has just complet
ed his contract with the ditch people.
The work was of considerable size, as
the channel was widened to sixty feet,
and deepened to five feet, for a dis
tance of 900 feet.
Both the Stayton and Salem ditch
people are thoroughly satisfied with
the work, as it will supply plenty of
water for the two ditches for a long
time. The contract was completed in
a remarkably short time considering
the weather and other difficulties en
countered.
This job is on the same plane as
others done by Contractor Teague, who
is to b e congratulated on the high
character of the work.
