added that his was too and so did
Harry Kimball.
Council Chamber Filled
Long before tho session opened
tho Council chamber was filled with
a largo dolegatlou of citizens, tlicro
in .favor of tho municipal band.
There wero 18 women In tho delega
tion. The Chamlnado Club brought
forward resolutions asking that tho
a city recorder, the firemen, tho po
ets, no, nor tho band. Wo oro not
oro as dictators. Now wo'vo cut
out tho wine, let us have, anyway,
the women and song."
It. M. Jennings said that when
tho band wiih supported by private
subscription the people thought It
cheap at half tho price, but It was
an advertisement and property own
ers not living here got a bctioflt,
too, and a tax on the city served to
ciiuallzo matters.
Wilson Kaufman and J. Albert
Matsou also favored tho measure.
"Thcro aro very few taxpayers
against the baud," said Mr. Matson.
On behalf of tho musicians of
Coos liny 1'crlo It. Halllngor urged
the passing of the measure.
Two Hours of Argument.
Already two hours had been con
sumed In debate when Councilman
Carl Fvertsen put the motion that
tho appropriation bo made for tho
band.
It. A. Coppio Interrupted with re
marks In defense of his position.
Ho had figures. Tho ejection for
the band was in March, 1DK1, was
morely a vote of expression and
was voted on by less than halt of
tho registered voters. In 11115, so
far, $:iS,()20 has been expended by
tho city mid $:I0,1G7 taken in.
Hills aro not yet threo fourths paid.
If tho baud would bo retained tho
city would havo to borrow tho mon
ey. Mr. Coppio said:
"I don't euro if I am recalled.
As long as I am on this council I
am go'ng to do exactly as 1 bellovo
I should."
Carl Fvortscn too stated his opin
ion, similar to that of Mr. Cop
pio.
Hot and heavy flew questions
from the nudlcnco to tho three tils-
ontlng couucllmcii.
Tho voto was taken a mliiuto
later and less than half a minuto
after that tho council chamber was
practically empty and lonesome

Tho matter Is cut and dried and nil

Unfair to Abutting Properly Own
ers to Pay for Logging; Opera
(lldiis To Hold Conference
Streets chopped Into bits and
moulded Into the curly waves of tho
ocean's horo by heavy logging
trucks wero protested before tho
City Council last evening. The
streot committee and the street
commissioner will meet with Walter
Condron and Jack McDonald to see
what arrangements can bo liiade to
ward protecting the streets of tho
city.
Claude Nasbiirg protested. lie
said that to allow the logging wag
ons to operato through tho street,
toar them up and thou charge the
property owners for tho repairs Is
entirely unfair.
"Tho paving cost us In tho first
place $5.50 a front foot," ho said.
"It's all going to pieces now. Front
street husn't tho base to hold up
under such a steady strain. It's
raising tho dickens with all our
streets."
Ordinance L'nilt
"Well then, if wo stick to our
ordinance allowing such things, wo
must pass an ordinance to fit the
circumstance," was tho vlow of
Harry Kimball.
No ono believed that tho logging
company Is In any way carrying
heavier loads than tho law allows,
but that tho question Is simply
one of too heavy a traffic (or the
streets.
To cut off tho traitors would ho
ono means of street protection
thought Duncan Ferguson.
Sticks llreak Paving.
"When they get big sticks on
tho loads that aro 00 and 70 feet
long and thoso go bouncing with
every dip of tho truck tho result
lug concussion Is moro than tho
streot can bear," said the city en-1
glncor. Ho said that In this bounc
ing often tho entire weight was put
on the rear wheels, grinding them '
still deeper Into the paving. Ho i
belloed that the cutting out of,
tho motor trucks and thu uso of j
teams through thu streets would .
greatly reduce tho harm to tho pav-
lug, bccaitso of reducing the speed. I
Tho Coiinellmen declared that tho
hauling of tho logs Is a sub-con-!
tract and therefore It Is up to the '
haulers to go as fast as they can '
to make tho profits como in as thoy .
should.
City Recorder Ilutler pointed out '
that tho first agreement with Walt- j
er Condron was that tho loggers i
should repair any damages to tho
streets and that tho Council later
changed this.
Reduce Maximum Load
To reduce the maximum loud over
city streets to five tons Is the log
ical way out bollovod It. A. Coppio, '
ntul an ordinance to this effect was I
ordered drafted and later the mo-!
Hon was changed and tho matter '
held up until nftcr tho conference
Othorwlso tho ordinance would bo I
voted on this evening undor an I
cmorgoncy clause.
Hltls for tho Improvement of
Front street from Central to tho

wero ordered.
