Tho fire was completely put out with the hose at the school building.

FINE SCHOOL PROPOSED Structure In Contemplation to Con tain 12 Rooms and Assembly Hall Large Enough to Seat 1000 8tudenta. It Is proposed by the Board of Directors of the Oregon City schools to erect a fine high school building In this city this Summer and with that end It was decided at a special meeting Tuesday afternoon to ask the taxpayers to authorize a bond Issue of $40,000. A special election for that purpose will be held at the Fountain Hose Company building on Tuesday, May 24. from 1 to 4 P. M. It Is gen erslly believed that there will be no question of tbe success of the attempt to obtain financial endorsement from tbe taxpayers. At the opening of school last year the conditions were such that tbe Hoard was forced to construct a four room addition to the Eastham build ing and the high school was moved there from the Barclay building and a chemical and physical laboratory apparatus Installed. Even thla addi tion did not solve the problem, and two primary grades had to be placed at the Barclay gymnasium, which was never Intended to be used for a school building. Several months ago the directors were shown that accom modations would be entirely inade quate next year and that there was a prospect that the high school would grow to such an extent that tbe grades would be forced out of the Eastham building, and it was finally decided to erect a large high school building, which will probably be locat ed near the center of the residence district.

PUBLIC SPIRIT HITS CITY'S COUNCILMEN PROVIDE FOR CONCRETE WALKS ON ALL STREETS TO BE IMPROVED. Public spirit In Oregon City has reached a high ebb as was evidenced Monday night at a special meeting of the city council, when City Engineer Meldrum was Instructed to return all estimates and specifications for pend ing street Improvements on a basis of concrete sidewalks and curbs. This means that instead of temporary walks all over the city there will be handsome concrete thoroughfares and indicates that the city council is look ing ahead into tbe future. ' The mat ter is not altogether obligatory for the council will permit property owners 30 days after an Improvement is or dered in wRich to make special appli cation to construct wooden sidewalks In place of tbe concrete walks, but if application Is not made and granted in every case the property owners will not be allowed to build wooden walks. Tbis provision does not apply to curbing, which must be of concrete in all cases. ' The council ordered an old building on the East side of the South aide of Main street, used as a Chinese laun dry, to be removed from the sidewalk, aa a portion of the building extends beyond the street line,. PARISH ELECTS DELEGATES. Representatives Will Go to Diocesean Convention at Eugene. H. L. Kelly, George A.

The alternates are W. A. Shew man, 'H. H. Hughes and T. P. Ran dall. The vestry appointed Rev. T. F. Bowen and Dr. L. A. Morris a com mittee to procure data relative to the construction of a new and modern building on the church property on th Southwest corner of Main and Ninth streets, with a view to deter mining the feasibility of construction. The present building is now owned by the church and the tenant has a ground lease. In order to pay off the church debt and acquire a sinking fund the vestry has determined that all of the Income received from the ground rental of the corner property shall be used only to apply on the in debtedness of the parish, and the money is not to be expended for cur rent expenses, such as the salary of the rector. This will in time create a sinking fund. Among the features of Interest of last night's meeting was the opening of funds for the construc tion of a new church building and a parish house. Willamette Teachers Elected. The directors of the Willamette School met at the Capen Shoe Com pany building on Monday evening, and elected the corps of teachers Jor next year, who are the following: Principal, Mrs. Viola Godfrey: Miss Rose Mattley.

The el'y council has ordered the improvement of Twelfth street and Washington street and will hold a special meeting May 18 to consider the final passage of an ordinance es tablishing the grades on these two streets. The report of the city en gineer in the establishment of the grade of Center street between Seventh and Ninth streets between Center and Taylor streets was accept ed. M. Justin filed a petition for per mission to keep the back door of his saloon open on Sundays for the ex press purpose of selling soft drinks and' permitting pool and billiards, but the petition was tabled, aa the mem bers of the council believed that Jus tin could take such a risk himself, without the city's sanction. The council also tabled a petition for the vacation of an alley In block 37, and declined to take action of a petition from Clark Fuge to change the grade on Ninth street. The ordinance fixing the license on dogs at Jl and $3 was passed. This ordinance does not alter the present license, but makes the restrictions more rigid. George Randall, J. E. Jack and O. D. Eby were appointed appraisers to assess the damages on the property of Apperson and Relsbcrger on Eleventh street. Owners of property In block 111 asked for the vacation of an alley, that had never been dedicated, and this was granted, it being- tbe inten tion of the property owners to dedi cate a new alley.
