Just prepared, was substituted in place of all other tax rolls,, and the City Treasurer was author ized to accept delinquent taxes for 1893 and all previous year? without interest or cpsts, If paid before August 1- Two ordi nances -were introduced by Mulkey, look ing to doing away with wooden sidewalks and making It possible to oblige property owners to put down- new sidewalks when necessary, Mayor Rowe presided, and the members present were Branch, Glisan, Holbrook, Masters. Merrill, Mulkey, Nealond, Sher rett and Walker. F. A. Nichols Elected Councilman. At the opening of the session Branch stated that as it would be three weeks till the next meeting of the Council and it was desirable that the vacancy caused by the death of A. F. Nichols, member for the Tenth "Ward, should be filled, he would move that when the hour of 3 o'clock ar rived they proceed to hold an election. The motion carried. A petition signed by 241 residents of the Tenth Ward was presented, asking that J. C. Jameson, who had served as Coun cilman for that ward for two years, to the satisfaction of the taxpayers, be elected to fill the unexpired term of Mr. Nichols. At 3 o'clock it was decided to elect by ballot, and Mayor Rowe appointed Sher- rett and Nealond tellers. Branch placed in nomination Frank A. Nichols son of the deceased member. Mulkey, in response to the petition from the Tenth Ward, nominated J. C. Jame son. The ballot was spread, and Jame son received three votes. Nichols received six votes, and was declared duly elected as Councilman for the Tenth Ward, and, on motion of Mulkey, the vote was made unanimous. Mr. Nichols was notified by telephone of his election, and requested to present him self. About 4 o'clock he arrived, the oath of office was administered by the Auditor, and he was escorted to his seat. In a neat speech he returned thanks for the honor conferred upon him, and promised to do his best to fill the duties of his ofllce. Library Made Free.

(The ordinance had the ap proval of the City Attorney. The contract is for a term of 10 years. The one-fifth-mill levy will raise about ?S000 next year.) Delinquent Roll Adopted.

An ordinance authorizing the City Treas urer to accept delinquent city taxes tor the year 1S93 and all previous years with out Interest or costs, if paid by August 1, was passed. For Better Sldcvralks. An ordinance was introduced by Mul key to compel owners, lessees, agents or occupants of property abutting on cer tain streets to repair sidewalks. The dis trict to which this ordinance is intended to apply Is defined in ordinance No. 12,159. passed some time ago, and broadly stated is the district between the river and West Park street in the original city plat, and Eighth and Park streets In Couch addi tion, and between Jefferson street and Irving street. It provides that within five days after service of notice, sidewalks or crosswalks shall be repaired in a man ner satisfactory to the City Engineer. Persons refusing to make such repairs shall be guilty of a. misdemeanor and shall be fined not more than $300 or imprisoned not more than 90 days. Read twice and referred to the street committee. Another ordinance was Introduced by Mulkey providing that it shall b& unlaw ful hereafter to build, construct, recon struct, repair, alter or maintain a wooden sidewalk or crosswalk within the limits designated In ordinance, 12,159 (outlined In the preceding ordinance). It provides that on the streets Trfthin the district mentioned sidewalks shall In no event be repaired or altered to an ex tent greater than one-third the original cost, and the City Engineer and committee on health and police shall decide what material can be used. Such repairs cannot be made without a permit, which can only be granted after a petition shall be filed with the City En gineer. Compulsory repairs are provided for, and when the one-third repair will not put a sidewalk or crosswalk In a reasonably safe condition, the City Engineer shall serve notice to construct a new sidewalk or crosswalk, as provided by ordinance. For violations of this ordinance, which Is a lengthy one., and Intended to secure proper sidewalks for providing for the health and cleanliness of the city, a pen alty by fine of not to exceed $300 or im prisonment for 90 days Is provided. New Ordinances An ordinance was passed authorizing the Auditor to issue warrants to the Chief of Police for the collection of de linquent assessments for the improve ment of the following named streets: Gar field avenue, Kirby street.

Petitions and Remonstrances. A communication from the Mayor was presented, recommending that the war rants Issued for paying a fireman's judg ment against the city be paid off at once in order to stop interest. The judgment called for interest at 8 per cent, and the holders were given a city warrant for this amount. Under the law, city war rants draw only 6 per cent. The matter should be looked into and a decision given as to what amount of interest is to be paid. Placed on file. A communication was received from S. Pennoyer, asking for the extension of Thirteenth street 60 or 40 feet wide to the south line of Governor's Park. If such a continuation Is made, the park will be easy of access by foot travel, and In case it Is made he proposes to donate an additional acre to the park; referred to the street committee.

A remonstrance against the proposed opening and laying out of East Fifteenth street, from Belmont to East Yamhill, on the ground that the benefits allowed by the viewers are excessive, was read.

Groundwork to Be Lnld at Milifau- Icee This Year and the Bis Fair Advertised. Alex Sweek, past exalted ruler of Port land Lodge, No. 142, of Elks, left last night for Milwaukee, "Wis., to attend the Grand Lodge of the order. Past Exalted Ruler Ralph E. Moody will leave today, and with Senator Sweek will make an ef fort to get the Grand Lodge to come to Portland In 1903. They will lay the groundwork, and the local lodge will fol low up the cue. In 1901 Portland Lodge will send a large delegation to the Grand Lodge to land the telling blows for 1905. In the Elks, as In other secret societies, the disposition Is to favor the town that makes the longest and most effective fight for the Grand Lodge. Portland having made an early beginning, Senator Sweek and Mr. Moody believe that the work they will do at Milwaukee this year will be crowned with success in 1905. Messrs. Sweek and Moody will not only give their 'brother Elks to understand that Portland wants the Grand Lodge for four years hence, but that it is arrang ing for and proposes to hold in 1905 a fair to commemorate the Lewis and Clark ex pedition. Senator Sweek took with him 500 handsome badges, which will be dis tributed among the delegates. They will make Portland the most widely discussed town at Milwaukee, not even excepting the city that will get the Grand Lodge in 1902. The badge is- hand-painted and gold-fringed on a background of purple silk, the color of the order. The design is suspended from a bar on which are the words, "Portland. Oregon." In the center Is a view of Mount Hood, with an Elk feeding in the foreground. The In scription runs: "Portland Lodge, No. 142, asks for the Grand Lodge In 1905. "Where rolls the Oregon." The badges were de signed by Miss Tillle Cornelius. If, any one thinks Portland is not on the map, he should go to Milwaukee this month and see Elks from vry part of the United States wearing the Portland badge. Portland Lodge thought seriously in 1892 of Inviting the Grand Lodge to come in 1S93. The big body could have been had for the asking, but the amount of money required for entertainment was at that time beyond the scope of the lodge, with Its limited membership and scanty funds. The lodge has made up its mind to have the Grand Lodge In 1905. and will put forth every effort for success. Want Her at Clinton Kelly. The petitioners who want Mrs. HInes, a former teacher in the Clinton Kelly school, restored' to that building, do not care to have her placed In any other of the city schools. T. M. Edmunds, one of the prominent petitioners, said yester day that he had assurances tha$ the board. Is willing to give her, a place in soem other building of equal importance, but that the people want her back in Clinton Kelly school and will not be satisfied with anything else. Some of the members of the board thought that it might be unpleasant for her to resume work at Clinton Kelly, but the peti tioners are not of that opinion.
