NELSON WILL
MAY CLOSE BILLIARD
HALLS AT MIDNIGHT.
Councilman Decides to Fix Up
his Section of Front Street
at Once.
Councilman J. N. Nolson has
grown weary o waiting for tho city
council to get Front street paved,
and, disgusted with tho appearance
of tho long mud puddle, has started
to navo the street In front of his own
property. This morning with a
crow-bar and shovel, ho personally
undertook the work of fixing up tho
street in front of his holdings just
across from tho city hall and Are
station. Ho owns sixty ieet rrontago
and is determined that at least that
much of Front street shall appear
decent and ho in condition for
travel.
Some of the old plank paving still
remains in front of nis property.
The planks have done servlco for
eighteen years and were not put
flown properly in the first place, ho
says. Ho is confident that if three
sills were placed under tho planks
and a proper foundation put under
neath all that they would have lasted
oven longer. He has had several
loads of fire-clay hauled in, and also
a number of loads of rock. If ho
can dig down sufficiently, ho intends
to uso tho rock and lire-clay ns a
foundation for plank paving. If not,
ho intends to lay the rock as level as
possible and put on a top coat of
concreto and gravel.
Favors I'lanlc I'uvini.
"I am going to have tho street in
front of my property passable any
way," said Mr. Nelson this morning
as ho rested on his crow-bar for a
moment. "Front streec should bo
paved at once, In fact it should havo
been paved a long time ago. It is
a shame to see it in its present condi
tion. Right here, tho mud puddles
and dilapidated planks would seri
ously hamper tho fire department.
"Personally I am in favor of pav
ing it with plank. If tho plank pav
ing is proporly put in, it will last a
long time. It is too wet hero for block
paving. I know this because I have
communicated with a cousin who re
sides In Portland. Ho tells mo that
block paving Is all right whoro it Is
dry but where it is wet so much of
the season as It is along the coast.
it Isn't durable and satisfactory. I
am going to insist on plank, stono or
concreto paving. Uitulithic would be
all right but it would bo hard to get
hero."
Will Ask Soon.
Tho noxt regular meeting of the
city council will bo held Monday
ovoning, and It is likely that final
action will be taken to secure tho
paving of Front street. City En
gineer Sanberg expects to havo the
plans and specifications for block
paving ready tomorrow. Ho has done
this work rapidly, tho council hav
ing only a few days ago instructed
him to prepare them.
Councilman Sacchl is determined
to rush tho work. Ho said that tho
present awful condition of Front
streot necessitated action. Ho con
sulted Contractor Hugh Melanin this
morning about tho length of tlmo
that it would require if tho prelimi
naries and work are rushed. Mr.
.ulcl-alu said that it would be at least
July 4th beforo tho work would bo
done.
.1. W. Honnctt and other property
owners aro also insisting that hasto
bo made. Mr. Honnctt is tempted to
follow Councilman Nelson's oxamplo
and pavo in front of his own property
personally oven if tho remainder of
tho work Is left undone.
Night Watchman Condi-on is in Favor
Having Itcgulnr Closing Hours
l'r Tliein.
Night Watchman Condron is be
hind a project to havo tho billard
halls In Alarshfleld close at midnight,
tho same hour that the saloons are
now required to close. IIo has spok
en to borne of tho proprietors and it
is understood that they are agreeable
to the plan, in case all of them
consent to closo at 12 o'clock, It
will not require any action by the
city.
Mr. Condron believes that the
move would bo a good one for the
city. Ho says that tho billiard halls
take in very little money alter mid
night and that no ono would suffer
in any way by all of them closing
at the same regular hour.

MYRTLE STREET SEWER
IS IN BAD CONDITION.
Councilman Sacchl Wants it Attend
ed to Iteforc Street is Perman
ently Improved.
Councilman Sacchl is having an
investigation made of tho old Myrtle
street sewer system to determine;
whether it will bo best to put In a
now one or attempt to repair the old
onr prior to the permanent improve
ments, which tho council recently
oidered, are made.
Mr. Sacchl says that tho old sew
age system there Is in bad shape and
he believes, from what he has bean
able to learn so far, that it would
bo cheaper to put in a new one. He
says that he is agitating the niaU.-r
now so that the work can be done oe
fcre tho permanent street improve
ments are made, thus eliminating the
necessity of tearing up the streec in
a short tlmo when the sewer mistii
give away.
