TOOZE URCES UYDRGCLORIDE PLANT
Resident! of City are Urged to Sug

ing Company Gets Ex
tension The city council Wednesday night
after hearing a report by Councilman
Toozo, and suggestions by 11. T. Mc
Cain, and T. W. Sullivan of the Live
Wires, regarding the water supply,
called a special meeting for tomorrow
night to further consider the subject
The report of Mr. Tooze was virtually
the same he made at the meeting of
tho Live Wires the evening before,
but was elaborated upon considerably.
He suggested that a hydroclorlde
plant be Installed and that the Intake
pipe as soon as It was possible be
moved further out In the river. While
he did not maintain that this would
give tho city pure w.'ter, he believed
that It would greatly minimize the
chances of the water causing disease,
and would at least ue u.e nesi un
inai cuiliu o uuue, uiim a iii'w,e
It were thought advisable, could be
obtained rom another source.
The speaker said an analysis
should be made Immediately af
ter the hydroclorldo system
was lut-talled in case the coun
cil decided It should be. Then, be
declared, If the water were found to
be filthy, other arrangements could
be made. He also called attention
to the tact that something should be
jlone at once, declaring that owing
to the present condition many per
sons, including school children were
not drinking a sufficient amount of
water.
Lewis C. Kclsay, consulting engin
eer for the Stale board of Health, ex
plained to the council the plan to
obtain water from Clear Lake, .and
spoke of other sources from which
water might be obtained.
The meeting was attended by Coun
cllmen llortou, Albright, Metzner,
Long, Meyer, Heard and Tooze. Mr.
Heard was exonerated of a charge of
having served as an election officer.
The charter provides that no city of
ficial Duall serve in such capacity. A
representative of the Southern Pacif
ic Railway objected to an assessment
for street Improvement purposes. The
city recorder and city engineer will
make lii Investigation.
Tin Mouugue-O Reilley Company
was given an extension of thirty days
in which to complete the hardsurfac
ing of Main Stseet from Moss Street
to the Abernethy. The company has
been retarded in tho work by the
laying of a railway across the street
and the putting down of a sewer.
Attention waa cftlled to the fact that
althouth the freight franchise of tne
Portland Railway. Light & Power
Company has been filed It had not
been tdgned by Judge Dimlck, who
was mayor when It was approved. It
will be considered at the uext meet
ing.
The sewer on John Qulncy Adams
Street was accepted with the excep
tion of a portion between Thirteenth
and Fourteenth Streets. City Engin
eer Yale was instructed to make an
examination of the work. " The record
er was Instructed to notify the Port
land Railway, Light & Power Com
pany to Install arc lamps at Four
teenth and Jackson Streets and Six
teenth and Harrison Sireets as outh
orized by the council. An ordinance
providing for a concrete wall on Main
between Eleventh and Twelfth
Streets, was passed. Mr. Tooze urg
ed tho employment of a chemist to
examine the materials used in the
hard surface pavement but his motion
It was decided to get suggestions
from the residents of the city regard
ing tho naming of parks. The people
are urged to make their suggestions
tbrougii tho newspapers Mr. Tooze
suggested that Seventh' Street park
be called Library Park and Twelfth
Street Park Firwood Park.
Mr. Tooze urged that the streets
which residents had asked to be Im
proved be given attention as soon as
possible. He declared that almost tho
entlro cost would be defrayed by the
property owners. Residents of Thir
teenth and High Streets petitioned
for improvement In 1910. Other
streets which the property owners
want improved are Seventh, Four
teenth, John Adams extentlon to
ward bluff, Madison and Division
Streets.
