council Tuesday evening, with
Mayor Vincent presiding.
A petition for nn nrc light at
the corner of Hudson nnd Burr
streets was referred to the
water and light committee.
Hahn & Rebman, contractors
on aoutn Willamette boulevard,
asked for an extension of thirty
days' time on the improvement
of sumo, claiming the delay was
occasioned by dry weather and
heavy fill. As the contractors
had been admonished to proceed
with more speed on the im
provement previously by the
council, no action was taken.
Petitions for fire hydrants at
Boveral points in North St.
Johns were read. Alderman
Graden advocated placing hy
drains at the corners of Chapel
and St. Johns avenue and Bristol
and Smith avenue. The matter
was ;flnally held over for an
other's week's consideration.
Bills totalling S518.94 wcro al
lowed, the principal item being
lor nn intersection at liurlington
and Tittsburg street on Wil
lamctto boulevard.
The attorney for M. G. Urban,
who appealed from the viewers

his land oh St. Johns avenue,
offered to settlo the case out of
