The city of Pendleton has $4600 in
its sinking fund that Councilma
Dickson at last night's meeting of the
council said should be invested. May
or W. F. Matlock and the full coun
ci] board were present at the sessior
las: evening. Aside from the readint
of the treasurer's report for th-
morth of July and a brief discussior
of repairs needed on the Umatilk
river levee, nothing was done, Nc
ordinances were considered.
The mayor su-e--'»-! that the levee
should be repaired before the waters
of the stream began to increase
Councilman Wells said that as a rule
the river did not begin to rise unti
late in September or early in Octo
ber and he was not in favor of doing
any work at this time. "Labor.” he
said, "is always higher at this time
of the year and I believe we would
do well to wait a few weeks.’’
The levee is in need of repairs a:
two points below the Main street
bridge. The matter was referred to
the street committee.
City Treasurer Cnarles Hamilton’s
report was as follows:
