City Council Devoted Last
Night's Session to Proposed
Improvements.
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

ment. Decided to meet tonight as board

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.
