Iff rHE MORNING OREGONIAN. THURSDAY, MAY 4, 1905. COUNCIL HAS USf SESS Slot-Machine Ordinance Re pealed 'After a Lively Debate. PAVING QUESTION IS UP Council Decides to Honor Hcquest of Property--Owners, Though It Places Them in One Com pany's Power. COHN'CIT, PROCEEDINGS. -Proposes franchise for an automatic telephone ejstem lot. Petition signed by 474S voters tft have the question of an automatic telephone syatem put to a popular vote at the June election granted. Property-ownern of Second etreet upheld in their request for a certain kind of pavement, even though there was no possibility of, more than one bid for the -work in this case, that of the manufacturers of Warren's bltu llthlc pavement. Repeal of ordinance declaring slot ! machines Illegal. Proposed billboard ordinance re ferred back to license committee i with a new ordinance as substitute 4 tacked on. HilUboro 'line granted permission to run cars over Its city lines as soon as it has track laid to top of hills. The Council decided yesterday that it did not lie within its power to open the bidding for street pavement to a -wider class of bidders than the property-owners in the petition for street improvement called for. A vote "was taken to seo whether the bids for paving Second street between Morrison and Gllsan, which called for bitulithlc pavement, should be open to those offering' to do the work with asphalt, and the vote was negative. That the property-owners could ask for bids for a kind of pavement, even, when they knew that there was only one com pany which could supply the particular patent pavement, might be a peculiar proceeding-, but to the mind of the Council it was none of its business. The Barber Asphalt Company has been attempting to have the bidding for the Second-street improvement opened to them, and have brought out the point that the property-owners In asking for Mtultthic pavement have limited, them selves to a bid from one company, and yesterday showed that they were gaining converts among property-owners, even the petitioners, for the bitulithlc pave ment, but for all that the Council could not sco where it was any of Its affair. City Engineer "W'anzer explained that the variety of pavement asked for was only to be had of the Warren Bitulithlc Company, Mr. Bentley adding that the property-owners in asking for that pave ment apparently knew what they wanted and that they were at liberty to settle the matter for themselves. The vote of the Council showed that the majority were of the same belief. SIot-Maclilnc Law Killed. The existing ordinance on slot machines was repealed yesterday by the Council, Albee and Flegel voting to have it main tained. Mr. Flegel said in defending the ordinance that by the repeal of it the state law alone would be left in force to prevent the using of the slot machines, and that the matter was thus taken out of the hands of the police and given over to the Sheriff. He spoke of the flagrant violation of the ordinance, and if it were killed he said he only hoped the vote would act as a boomerang, and that Sheriff Word .would do as be did about gambling, preventing th use of the slot machines, and by that action hitting some of the friends of Council man voting for the repeal. The billboard ordinance came up before tlic Council, having been referred back by the license committee, and was prpmptly referred back again by Coun cilman Sharkey, who Introduced another form of ordinance, which he considered superior to any jso far Introduced. Xo one seemed to be Inclined to have the ordinance remain before the body, and it went to the license committee again. Sharkey explained afterwards that his new ordinance was drafted from a re cent decision of the Supreme Court of Illinois on a similar matter. It makes practically any billboard allowable to which the building inspector does not ob ject on grounds of safety. The Oregon Traction Company was granted permission to run cars over Its Hlllsboro line as soon as It had been completed to a point a quarter of a mile beyond the Mount Calvary Cemetery, about four miles from town. The com pany will run Its cars out Stark street from Front. In the great mass of petitions for street and s?wer Improvements which came up to be passed upon by the Council, a petition was read to grant a license to tho "Lewis and Clark Expostlon to run a Fair out In the north end of town, and the license was granted for the sum of 51. "When it was found that the telephone franchise was lost a petition which had been presented and laid on the table was brought before the meeting again, con taining 4743 names, asking that the ques tion of the automatic telephone be placed before the voters at the coming June election. The petition was drawn In due form and over 15 per cent of the vpting population had signed the petition, "when it was put to a vote whether the request in the petition should be followed, all the Councilman present voted aye. Rumelln was out of the room at the time, and, coming back and having the question read to him. voted a solitary no. First Train From Salt Take. LOS ANGELES. Cal.. 3k.ay 3.
