Actions by city council last night: Opened bids on Sixth street Impro vement and decided to meot again tonight to award contract. Declared Intention to Improve Prospect avenue froin Bennett to Davidson. Ordered Chestnut street Improved from Third street to Prosper. Decided to meet tonight as hoard of equalization on 'C street improve ment. Decided to meet tonight as board of equalization on Fourth and Ben nett street improvements. Adopted ordinance regulating operation of Eastslde ferry.' Planned to adopt ordinance com pelling all Front street property owners from North line of Odd Fel lows block to south line of 'C street to pave with asphalt. Will act on matter tonight. Heard protest of Peter Scott against grading of part of Sixth street. Allowed bills for about $2,000. Postponed action on Robert Mars den's request to lay water-pipe In Second street. Failed to bring up proposed im provement of Flanagan street. Let telephone franchise lay on the table. Only routine business came up be fore the Marshfleld city council at its Bcsslon last night and aside from an impassioned address by Peter Scott against the proposed grading of Sixth street which he declares will ruin his home and truck gar den, the session was a very quiet one. Tho only thing during the ses sion that struck the risibilities of the council and the crowd present was the explosion of a loaded cigar that someone had "palmed off" on Marshal J. W. Carter and who for an Instant thought that tho forecast of the Portland seeress that Marshfleld was going to meet its doom before midnight last night was coming true. However, ho escaped Injury aside from the scare and tho good natured thrusts of tho crowd, Mayor Straw telling him that if ho had learned to smoke cigarettes he would not have been tho victim of tho "loaded cigar joker." On account of tho largo crowd present, Mayor Straw thought that ho could feel 'steen speeches and pro tests coming so he announced that under "Straw's Rules of Order," no one would be allowed to talk for. more than three minutes or more than onco on the same subject. J. T. Hall announced that the Prospect avenue property owners had agreed to have the street Improved on condition that only thirty-eight feet of tho sixty-feet width be grad ed, that twenty-two feet bo planked in the center for a roadway, that, twelve-inch gutters be put in ahd sidewalks six feet wide, leaving -the remaining twenty-two feet to the property owners for parking. This was agreeable to the council and they ordered the street Improved accord ing to these conditions. Peter Scott declared that the proposed reduction in the grade of Sixth street would mean that the thoroughfare would be drained into his private property where the street ended, that his house was liable to be undermined and that his truck garden would be destroyed. He said that the reduction wasn't necessary and that he believed all fair-minded citizens would agree that the city should give his holdings just as much consideration as they do those of Councllmen Flanagan and Lockhart. Furthermore, he said he would spend his last cent fighting the proposed change in the courts, even though the few hundred dollars he had ac cumulated had been elirned by the sweat of his brow, representing his labors since he was eleven years old. No action wns taken, Mayor Straw telling him that he should come up tonight (Wednesday) when the coun cil takes up tho matter for considera tion. Among the bills allowed during the evening, was one for $290 for salaries for the city council during the past .six months and another for $7.05 to reimburse Marshal J. W. Carter for bounties paid out in the rat killing that Is going merrily on In Marshfleld. Owing to a few of the .Front street property owners still holding out against signing private paving con tracts for Improving the thorough fare, It was decided that the city should order tho street paved and compel them to fall In line. This will be done tonight. A number of tho North Front street property owners are now clamoring for as phalt paving, and it Is likely that It will be paved as far north as the dirt fill will permit, which will be at least to the north lino of the Odd "Fellows block. Specifications for tho paving were also enacted last night In order that City Engineer Sand berg bo enabled to supervise the work. Tho following contractors submit ted bids on the Sixth street work but owing to the different forms It could not be determined last night who was low bidder: W. P. Lawhorne and F. P. Nor ton, D. W. Small, E. M. Erlckson and Robert Merrlnm, Masters and Mc Laln, E. G. Perham, Sanford Holm and Alfred Haggard, John Holm, and Win. Hagquist and Otto Griffith.
