Savage said that the city engineer j T,le nnPKtion 0f settling for the had informed him that the speclflcn- Pdnr street work was brought up tlons for the work merely required ,2gan by Mr. McLnin. He said that that the street be filled to helghth of bIx feet from the marsh and the plank be laid on the fill, nothing be ing said about an established grade. In fact, Mr. Savage said, the grade had been established only on part of the street. F. M. Frledbcrg entered a protest plative to his assessment for the Broadway improvement, claiming that he had been assessed too much. He presented figures and data from the official plat of Railroad Addi tion to substantiate his claim. City Engineer Sandberg said that the ofllclal plat was wrong in a good many ways and that the errors might be in it instead of the assess ment roll. The question of the width of Rail road avenue whether It should be seventy-five feet, eighty feet or seventy-one and a fraction feet was also brought up. No action was taken on either Mr. Frledberg's pro test or the Railroad avenue matter, the city engineer being Instructed to Investigate and report to the next meeting of the council. Other Business. Marshal Carter was instructed to notify Dan Campbell that he must remove the piling thot Interfered with the Eastside ferry slip, Coun cilman Nelspn reporting that JJr. he wanted his money and wanted to know what was being done to col lect the deficit assessment. He was informed that nothing had been done since Councilman Sacchl re nortcd that he had nothing coming o him. The council decided to in vestigate the matter again. The council also decided to im mediately begin an investigation to straighten out tho North Cedar street assessment. Councilman Coke said that as the Railroad Company is getting lots of common labor at $2 per day, he didn't think the city should pay $2.50 per day for street cleaning work. President Savage said that If men could be obtained for $2 per day, they should be hired. City Attorney Snover was instruct ed to investigate and see if the abut ting property owners could be re quired to pay for the construction of the approach on Queen avenue to Broadway. This was to have been paid for out of the steamsters license fund but bb the latter ordinance was held Invalid, there is no money In that fund to meet the expense. Un less the abutting property owners are required to pay it, the current expense fund will have to stand the cost. 5IWSw SSRswpBW spPfliWIRW 1 Are You on the weigh?

"These figures show enough ton nage to support a railroad to the coast because much, yes a half of the freight and passenger service vill como that way, AVo connect with the Great Northern and Northern Pacific at Butte and with tho ocean at Coos Bay and the con sequence would ho that much through freight would bo routed over this line if built. The local traffic would, to a great extent, ho over this lino. We can figure on a basis of one-third of tho business in Tdalio territory and we carry 3, GOO cars of cattle and sheep; add to this an equal number of cars for lumber, grain, hogs, horses, dairy products, whole-sale shipments wool, beets, etc. Turning to Oregon we find In three of our counties aloif 2 040 cars of lumber, at least 1,500 cars of stock, all tho coal needed "n tho west, besides much local and Mirough trade. Thus it seems to us tlm, In comparison to the other railroads, paralleling rivers and other railroads as they do, we havo as much, yes, more freight and pas senger trafile coming through a cen tral Oregon and Idaho railroad than can be found along any one of the presont lines of railroad in these states."
