Mayor Latourette presided, and all the councilmen were present except Schue- bel and Charinan. The utmost harmony and kindly courtesies prevailed. It seemed as though peace had been restored between the bickering factions, and only a splin ter of the buried hatchet was notice able. Paul Hussock and Frank Nehren weie granted liquor licenses, while the application of J. W. Cole was refe rred back for proper advertising. The ac ceptance of the motor line franchise granted G. C. Fields was read and or dered recorded. Mayor Latourette read his veto of the wide tire ordinance,which was unanunousty sustained. The veto was based on the ground that there were no tires in the market of the width specified for 3 skeins ; also that it dis criminated in favor of draymen who used iron axles, and was especially hard on farmers.

Wilson Seated, and the Matter to Be Contested at the Expense of The State. The water commission held a meet ing Friday afternoon and effected an or ganization for the coming year. R. D. Wilson, the newly elected water com misionur, was seated. All the old offi cers were re-elected as follows: Charlts II. Caufield, president; T. Leonard Charman, secretary, and W. II. Howell, superintendent. Wilson nominated H. E. Harris for water superintendent, who received one vote. On Saturday II. C. Stevens, as rela tor for the State of Oregon, filed a suit to oust R. D. Wilson. The complaint is signed by Hedges & Griffith, attor neys, and T. J. Cleeton, prosecuting at torney for the fifth district, by G. B. Dimiek, deputy. The complaint al leges that no successor to II. C. Stevens as a water commissioner of Oregon City has been elected by the city council as required by law, and said H. C. Stev ens is entitled to' hold said office until his successor is elected by the council and has qualified. The complaint fur ther recites that on July 1st, defendant filed with the secretary of the board Qf water commissioners a pretended cer tificate of election to the office of water commissioner of Oregon City, and on said day and continuously hitherto the defendant, without any legal warrant or right, and notwithstanding the term of H. C. Stevens, has intruded himself into and has used and exercised and still does unlawfully intrude himself into and usurp and use and exercise the of fice of a water commissioner, ' to the damage of said Oregon City, of the re lator and also against the law and peace of the state of Oregon. The relator prays judgment that the defendant is not entitled to said office or to use or ex-er.-ise any of the functions thereof and that he bo ousted therefrom, and that the relator be adjudged to be a duly elected and qualified water commis sioner, and that he recover his costs and disbursements herein. On the same day a motion was tiled by C. U. Wilson, attorney for R. D. Wilson, moving the court that the in formation be stricken from the files and the case be dismissed, for the reason that no docket fee was paid or tendered the clerk when such information was filed. The defendant further moves for an order requiring tin relator in the above entitled action to make more defi nite and certain that part of his infor mation relating to the election and ex ercise of office, so as to show in what re- spect defendant's election to office of water commissioner was illegal, and in what manner he exercises the function of the office without legal warrant.
