" ""WTJEJ T TtfE DAILY COOS BAY TIMES,' MARSHFIELD. OREGON, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1907. J I K ,i" GENERAL IK IS REDUCED City Dads Make Levy of Three and a Half Mills for 1908. ' WHAT THE CITV DADS DI1 LAST NIGHT. Levied general municipal lux of three and a hnlf mills. Paid amounts on Front Street paving tests. Passed ordinance to ox- tend Laurel street. The general municipal tax of MarshHeld for the year 1908 was re duced a half mill under the tax lev ied for 1907 at the meeting of tho city fathers last night. The tax is two mills smaller than In tho year 1905, when the tax was flvo mills. In 190G the levy was three mills, in 1907 it was four mills, and for the coming year It will he three and a half mills. , The ordinance for the extension of Union street and Railroad avenue, In the Nasberg addition, were laid on the table until It can bo ascer tained whether Front street will be extended to meet the extension of the North Bend street on the water front. The extension of Laurel street through Donnelly's addition, from H avenue north to section line 27, 34, was approved, however, and the ordinance providing for the improve ment was read and passed. It was decided to print the notice of the ordinance in The Times. A payment of ?270 to D. W. Small, for work on Front street In connec tion with the testing of road mater ial, was approved, and the sum of 5500 wujj ordered paid to Masters & Mcuun tor providing JJl material i HEPm tho crusher. Minor matters' engaged tho atten tion of the cowuqU until quite a late ""hour, -and other mdfltlngs will be held shortly to consider th,e passing of revised ordinances, J& -H IS the general opinion, among members of the council, that cedar blocks treated with a composition to protect them from the weather Is the only solution to putting Front street In good condition for traffic. It is conceded that bitulithlc pavement would be the best, but that this would necessitate the securing of a plant which would cost the city from sixty to seventy thousand dollars, an expense not to be considered at pres ent. Mr. McLain stated this morning that the life of these blocks was about twenty years, nnd that this is the cheapest and best means for solv ing tho miserable condition of the main street. It is expected that the council will go Into tho matter at an early date. 3E SUNDAY SERVICES AT MARSHFIELD CHURCHES KIMSCOl'AL Rev.
