City Council Favors Proposal 1 to Fill it Improve Fourth Street. Tho Marshflold City Council last evening approved tho plan of filling Mill Slough from tho East lino to Droadwny west. Tho mntter wns brought up by Dr. Lcslio of tho spec Inl commltteo of tho Chntnbor of Commorco who asked that tho coun cil npprovo tho potltlon to tho Secre tary of War which ho Bald had been signed by about four fifths of tho property owners in tho vicinity. lie snld thnt owIiik to tho necessity of n big drnln or sewer having to bo put In when tho slough Ih closed, tho Cliambor of Commorco hnd decided thnt the council should tnka charcu of It. It wns suggested thnt tho council Instruct tho city engineer to propnro tho plniiH nml ostlmntOB for tlio sewer thnt would liiivo to bo put In. It vnn stated thnt tho affected district would hnvo to pay tho oxponso of this. After tho reading of tho potltlon to tho Secretary of War Stlnson nHk lug permission to closo tho slough, sotneono noted that nonrly nil of tho city olllclnls had slgnod it. Council man Ferguson said that ho hadn't niul tmlil thnt ho thought tho slough Hliould bo kept open mid dredged out. At any rate, ho snld ho thought tho city should got Curtis nvcuue opened through to tho wntcrfront ns a cotiHlrterntlon for closing. Ho snld tho city hnd been forcod to pny about Jlfi.OOO to get Commercial openod through to tho wntor front nnd ho did not want to seo tho city hnvo to dupllrnto this oxponso olsowhoro. Councllmnn Copplo snld that Bomo thlng ought to tho dono to Improvo tho slough bocnuso It Is morcly a breeding place for mosquitoes now. Someono said that C. A. Smith rlnlmed thnt tho council hnd tho right to closo tho slough without tho con sent of tho War Department but City Attorney Goss contended otherwise. Ho snld If the city had tho right, thon tho claimant to proporty In tho bod of the slough hnd tho right to do so. Councllmnn Snvngo moved thnt tho petition to hnvo tho slough flllod west of Drondwny bo approved. Coun cilman Ferguson offorod nn amend ment that tho city bo granted tho tltlo to tho through strcots in tho district, namely to hnvo Sixth street openod and Cut tU nvonuo oponcd to the wntor fiout. Dr. Leslie said Mr. Smith had ngrecd to tho opening of Sixth street and the widening of somo othors but did not concede to tho opening of Curtis nvenuo through to tho wntor front. Finally City Attorney Goss wns In structed to draft a resolution approv ing tho application to hnvo tho alough closed and ho did so. Tho resolu tion states that it seems that tho fill ing of tho alough Is tho host way to secure n romody for tho objectlon ablo features of Its present condition. It was adopted by tho council with out a dtssontlng voto. Improve Fourth Street The plans aud specifications for Improving Fourth street from Cen tral avenuo to Donnelly avonuo woro adopted last night. Tho cost will bo $2,950 for bridge nnd olovntcd rondway and $550 for aldownlk. Mr. Gldley proposes to hovo tho street n trifle higher than It Is nt present, that Is, to contluuo tho roadway on a grade even with the crest of tho bridge. in this connection, It was auggest ed that th,o work bo deferred until Mill Slough Is filled and then tho solid fill bo used as a foundation for tho roadway. However, Dr. Lesllo said that It was uncertain about tho time tho slough could bo flllod as be fore they could make any arrange ments for tho work, It was necessary to get tho consent of tho War De partment. Ho hoped to got tho Dredge Oregon to pump mud from the Day to All It. Mix-up Over Saloon. A mix-up over tho ownership of tho Brewery saloon, or rather the license to conduct tho liquor estab lishment, took up about two hours of tho early part of last evening's couu cil meeting. At the provlous meeting a petition from tho Coos Day Liquor company stating that they had x -quired tho business from Andrew Hokkla and asking that they be al lowed to contlnuo tho business until tho expiration of tho present license, June 30, was granted. Last night Mr. Hekkla and Harry Hoy appeared before the council an stated that tho Cooa Dny Liquor com pany had simply ousted Hekkla from the saloon and that ho had not trans forred his business. They asked that tho license bo returned to Hokkla and that the action of the council in transferring It to the Coos Day Liquor company bo rescinded. Mr. Hoy stated that as tho number of saloon licenses In town was limit ed the license waB valuablo and tho revocation of it without rea- 1 L IS 15 MILES City Council.After Long Debate Changes Rate Some Wanted Ten Miles. After a lengthy discussion last ev ening, an ordlnnnco reducing tho opced limit of nutoa in tho city of Mnrshfleld to fifteen miles por hour wns ennctcd. It wub first proposed to reduce tho limit to ten miles por hour but bo mo of tho councilmon thought this too low and less than ac tual snfoty roqulrod. Tho council evidently does not nluo tho tlmo of nutomoblllsts vory highly for tho penalty provides n flno of $50 or n sontenco of not to oxecod twonty-llvo dnyB In Jail for tho first ofTeHM.' nnd a flno of $100 or not to exceed fifty days in Jail for tho socond offense, tho nutolsts being allowed 32 por dny for their tlmo If they Borvo out their Bontcncoa. The ordlnanco wns ordorod nro pared nt tho Inst meeting of tho coun cil and nftor tho reading of It, Coun ( llnian Savngo snld thnt ho hnd boon Investigating tho mnttor somo nnd thnt u number of nutolstH hnd in formed him thnt ten mllcn wna too alow so slow In fact that tholr en gines would not run If thoy nttomptod to go nt that spcod. Councllmnn Alton snld thnt boforo tho council nttomptod to roduco tho Bpeed limit so. low thnt thoy got In nn nuto nnd rldo around for an hour or no nt n ton-mllo gait. IIo snld It wns too Blow. Councllmnn Copplo took tho othor view of It. Ho snld thnt ton m Ilea per hour was a good spcod in town. Ho &aid that thoro was no oiio around hero whoso tlmo was so valuablo that thoy had to go spoodlor than ton miles nnd Intimated that tho only speedy ones wero tho "Joy rldors." IIo de clared that It waa not right to men ace thd Uvcb of mon, women nnd chil dren by allowing "Joy rldora" to speed up on tho city atroota. Any way, ho oald, tho object of tho ton mllo limit was to ennblo tho city officials to convict violators of tho speed limit. IIo said that tho auth orities would not bother nutolstB who rnn fifteen miles or so par hour but thnt it would ninko a cinch of con victing thoso who Inslstod on running twenty-flvo to fifty mllos por hour. City Attornoy Goss suggested that tho limit bo llxod at sovonteen miles or thereabouts. Ho said thut It was n't too fust nnd thnt nn nuto running eighteen miles por hour wna In per fect control nnd could bo atoppod nl most within tho length of tho ma chine In nn omorgoncy. Ho said ho didn't bollovo In onnctlug InwB which It waa expectod would bo vio lated. Councllmnn Allon said that ho was opposed to making nny regulations which It was known wquld not bo lived up to, Councllmnn Snvago said thnt ho favored letting tho old ordlnnnco stand, tho limit In It bolng 24 miles outsldo tho fire limits and eight miles within. City Attornoy Goss snld thnt ho would like to hnvo a now ordlnanco. Councilman Copplo said that ho felt that Bomothlng should bo dono. He Bald that If somo child or porson wns run down and klllod, tho council would hastily do somotblng and ho was in favor of doing it beforo a catastropho necessitated action. He Insisted that ten mllos waa speedy enough and when It waa soon that Messrs. Allon and Savago would not voto for It, ho said that In caso'of an acldent "tho blood would bo on their heads." Marshal Carter said that tho ton mllo limit would enablo tho officers to enforco tho speed limit and de clared that any autoist whoso engine would not run at that speed should be required to get one that would. A. H. Stutsman thought that ten miles per hour waa fast enough for autos to run in the city whon tho state law only permitted them to run twenty miles per hour on roadways. City Attornoy Goss said that tho state limit waa twenty-five miles per hour. Stutsman Insisted ic was only twenty mllea per hour and finally wagered a bat that It waa not twenty five miles. City Attorney Gosa took tho bet and dug up tho law and found It was twenty-flvo miles. Councilman Copplo Joshlngly sug gested that tbo autolsta had beon giv ing Savago and Allen free rldea and won them over from the low apeed limit. Councilman Ferguson said that ho thought something ought to be dono and finally the fifteen-mile limit waa agreed to. v TRUST PROBE PLANS (Dy Associated Press to Cooa Day Times.) WASHINGTON. D.
