AGREEMENTS ARE ALL MADE AND BOND FILED. Thi* is the Conclusion Following the Visit of J. H. Anderson and Sur­ vey of All Proposed Sites by Him and the Committer Council Health—Work Will Begrn Six Months and on Within Finished a Year and a Half From Date—All Objec­ tions Turned Down. J. H. Anderson, the gas magnate of Spokane, reached town yesterday, looked over the city, selected the site for his gas plant, accepted the franchise granted by the city, and filed his bond for the amount asked. He left this morning for Spokane. While here Mr. Anderson, in com pany with F W. » incent. the loca. manager of the Northwestern Gas & Electric Company, and Councilmen Swearingen. Murphy and Dickson who compose the committee on health and police, made the rounds of the places available as sites for the gas plant. After viewing all ot the sites offered, it was decided that the best for all purposes would be the present location of the Electric Light & Power Company's station and this was accordingly chosen by Mr. Anderson, and the choice ratiflec by the committee, in whose power final action in the matter of the se lection had been left by the council at its last meeting The franchise was then accepted by the company and the acceptance, with the bonu was filed with the city recorder. Begin Work in Six Months. This action closes the deal as far as the city is concerned, and it is now up to the company to begin to make preparations for the construction of the plant, inside of the six months limit, as laid down in the ordinance There is a great deal of opposition to the location of the plant at the lx-e decided upon, and it was locat­ ed in the face of a petition of nearly •>11 o the property holders in the .'¡strict affected. The petitioners ai-n that the proximity of the sta *-r> Will lessen the valuation of ' ir properties owing to the odor of gas. and that the plant should be put in some place where there are no residences in the near neighborhood The other side of the controversy la'ms that the selected site is not. strictly speaking, in a residence, but in a manufacturing district. That here are no houses to the east and the south, and that the prevailing winds will blow all odor from the city instead of towards it. They do not. however, acknowledge there will be odor from the plant, and claim that persons who are not otherwise acquainted with the fact will never know that there is a glass plant in the vicinity. • It is cited that in Walla Walla and *n Baker City there have been gas plants for years, and' never have the parties living near them raised objections to their prerence. The company will construct a high board fence around the property, and it will be entirely shut off from public gaze and notice. The sewer connec tions and preventive construction of the place will obviate any chance of the plant being a nuisance. It is also pointed out that not only the city, but the residents individu­ ally, have recourse at law in case the plant should become a detriment to their property, or a danger to their health. The company will commence the construction of the plant inside of six months from this date, and ex­ pect to have the gas in the houses in­ side of 12 months from the time work is commenced.
