All responded to thu ivll cull Ht the adjourned meeting of the council Ttien dity evening. Tin' Hist matter taken up was the ordinance for a system of sewer se in the lower part of the city which had p.ed to second readiui! There was a o.kI deal of informal dincusslon of the sewer plans and the conclusion was reached that tin ortlinnure U'lore the house would not serve the pniptwo then in view because the counciluien had la- convinced that many cliange should be made, Kith in the Intercut of economy and of better service, and w ould lie easier to construct a new oi di - nance thun to change the one ahvady drawn to meet the view of the council. , s0 this ordinance waslabled and the city attorney and surveyor were instructed j to preimre a new ordinance on the sub- ject in conformity to plans submitted by him. A motion was carried, however, declaring it to be the sense of the council that tho new ordinance, provide that the Main street sewer be buried seven or eight feet and the side street sewer not less than six feet. The ordinance providing a penalty for any person battling in public in a nude state w ithin the city was put upon Its passage and lost by a tie vote. Aye Latourette, Cochrane, Porter and Will iams; noes, OVonnell, Charnun, Ran dall and Noble. A petition f jr the transfer of the liquor license of John Cobcrry toN.B. Uruce was granted, the transferee to pay all coats of the transfer. Ijttourette moved that two more In condescent lights be erected, one at the head of the Sixth street steps and the other at the corner of Flffh and High street. Noble amended by adding a light for the city jail. A discussion en sued pertaining to the hiding of street lights by t'ee. Cochrane thought the trees interferiiiK w ith the utility of street lamps should be cut down or pruned though he had understood before the new lamps were erected that they were to lie suspended over the middle of the streets, I in which case the trees would not hide their liwdit Latourette championed the cause of the trees. He thought thry were a comfort and an ornament that ought no' to la ruthlessly destroyed. Kandull expressd the opinion that street lightinif wu costing the city lo much and that additional expense ought not to be incurred or that purpose. The I motion was put to vote and the council i broke even, O'Connell, Charman. La- ,0"rt""fl a"" ,,""u vo"" 111, Cochrane, Porter and Wilkinson ! no U ''"voiced uon the mayor to cast j deciding vote, which he did in the, '"iii.e, '"-' oci.eve.i tne ! additional lights necessary ami that he was willing to stand his share uf the extra eiiense incurred in supporting them . The bid of Hugh Peters for grading Washington street one block south ol Seventh street was received, ar.d there being no other bidders and the figures named by him being within the estimate furnished by the city surveyor, he was awarded the contract on bond of fVK), His bid was 13,',' cents per cubic yard for earth, 35 cents for loose rock ,24 cents per foot for four-foot and 23 cents for six-foot crosswalks, 10 cents per yard for macadamizing, $'J5 for rolling, ;; cents per yard for excavating ditch and $12 per M for planking ditch. The publication of the notice of the assessment and amounts due for this improvement w as ordered. ' The recorder was instructed to notify the Oregon Telephone & Telegraph com pany that unless its poles in this city should 1j immediately painted as re quired by ordinance its franchise would be revoked and the poles removed from the streets. The bill of Sidney Smyth, fl27, which laid over lust week was taken up and allowed. There was-some discussion about claims for extras for construct ing the steps up the bluff on account of the fact that city warrants are below par, but it was decided that it would not he practicable to allow such claims if presented. Attention was called to the fuct that the ordinance pertaining to cattle wear ing bells and running at large at night was not enforced and the mayor was re quested to have it enforced. Then came up again the ordinance restraining "horses, mules, cattle, sheep, swine, goats, geese and ducks" on motion of Cochrane for reconsideration. In mating the motion he said that since the vote on the measure he dad taken pains to look about the city with social reference to notice the effects of permit ting cattle to run at larite in the city and he was convinced that be had done wrong in opposing the passage of the ordinance. Some parliamentary spur ring was indulged in and then Wilkinson got the floor and waxed eloquent in denunciation of the measure, but when the question was put his was the only no recorded. Latourette gave notice that he would move for aguin reconhider ing the matter at the next metting. The mutter of adequately improving the eastern connections of Seventh strcot was referred to the committee on streets and. public property with power to act. The trestircr was instructed to prepare for the council a list ot theSeventh street delinquents and the council adjourned to meet Monday evening. j There will ho a niaule luuterii entor tHinment at Tope's hall on the evening of tctolHr '.'2niiiI f under the auspice ' a. id for the henelll of the local tl.
