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.
