Ex-Marsbal Joe Crook apiared be fore the council to investigate the matter of a shortage claimed against him ac cording to the report of Mar Crandall, whoexperted tbe city accounts. No ettlement was made and the matter was referred back to the finance com mittee for adjustment. A petition from Sam Newsom and other property owner in block 1 on tbe east side of Main street-just north of the Ochoco bridge, asking permission to build a sidewalk along that block, was presented and granted. New sedewalk were ordered built along the Dodson and Street property is some doubt a to whether such a thing is practicable because it is thought a road would have to cling to sheer cliffs if built at that elevation above the river. Coaditinu TVai Tbrcatca. Perhaps the worst feature of the whole ca;o is that if the Government dam were favored in this way by the railroad and detour made, private power enterprises and irrigation com panies might insist that further jumps lie made by the railroad to get over their dams as well.

And presently cinio another blow when Wade Huston put in a Lilt for surveying for cross walks done nnder the old administration, amounting to $10 more. The bill of E. S. Price for hauling amounting to $15, which waa ordered paid at this session was also an inheritance from the old administration. All drop of lemon squeezed on a sore spot. The following bills were ordered paid : Estea Short, pistol for marshal 20.00 It. S. Price, old bill for hauling. ...15.00 W. F. King, lantern for fire dept..21.00 W. F.

He added 10 per cent because he get his pay in city warrant which are discounted that much for cash. But the council wouldn't stand hi work. Councilman Shipp laid city warrant were worth 95 cents on the dollar, but as he ia barred by law from dealing in warrant, 90 cent is about all they can be cashed for. Wednesday morning Squire Bell prepared hi bonds as recorder which were approved, and took the oath of office. nnnnive ih shown bv the estimated cost on Second street, a distance of 160 feet, of $4,755,000 for 130 miles.

The construction will be more difficult than the North Bank road, but in many ways, con struction problems are similar. Solid rock cliffs confront engineer at many points and tunnels and high bridge are Marshal was emphatically instructed that in case order to build sidewalk were not promptly complied with that be should at the expiration of the time limit pro ceed to build the sidewalks and take a city lien on the property to ray for construction. The referendum petition upon the Space to lay track will have near beer ordinance was presented to numerous. to be blasted out of basalt bluffs for miles if the surveys are followed by a railroad. Not Receive Witk Favor. Additional obstacle to railway con struction are not likely to be given a hearty welcome by the Harriman inter ests. It is pretty well understood al ready that the heavy cost of the Des chutes railroad, as riven in the esti mates of the projected line, cast some what of a gloom over the Chicago of fices of the Harriman system. Addi tional expense and serious operating difficulties are not likely, it is believed, to be met with favor at headquarters. It is estimated that if the reclamation dam is built it would cost not less than $000,000 for the railroad to make the iuniD over it Such protection of the J t reclamation service as le said to be con tained in the report of irrigation engl neers will not, it is'expected, find favoi with ihe Harriman officials, and it is being predicted that the Deschutes route will not be followed, in view of the restrictions believed to be laid upon the railroad.

That body was at a loss to know what they bad to do with it and accordingly moved to lay it on the table. In regard to the refloating of the city's $10,000 bond issue tbe finance committee and tbe recorder were in structed to advertise for bids," to "take up the loan, one plan to be to re-issue of the bonds after the same manner as that now in effect, and another plan being to issue the bonds in denomina tions of $1000 each, the first to be re deemed at the end of five years and one to be Uken np at the end of each successive year until all are redeemed, which would be at the end of 15 years Demari & Son offered to furnish the city what lumber it needs for cross walks etc.. at $13.75 delivered, and the bid was accepted. A new fire hydrant was ordered in stalled on the intersection of Nichols and 9th streets, on the north side near the Wardwell Cram residence. The other hydrants which were to have been installed were countermanded for the present, for the reason that the streets upon which they were to be placed have not yet been dedicated Citv Marshal Huston was directed to iota M.raa nf triA oir.v irrigation water on it Dy tlie department, nieu omo . . arrant nfirmisaioa to build the road Arbor Day Program.
