Tho couricll deckled that ljs ordinanco of a webk ago, limit ing loads over city streets to five distend of seven tons and restrict ing tho speed to flvo miles an hour will bo enforced to tho letter. Tom T. Dennett, nttomcy for McDonald and Condron nt tho close of tho mooting stated to the council ho wanted "tho minutes to show them you mean to enforce tho ordinance. I don't want to have any doubt appear later on" alluding to a posslblo dnmago suit for $15,000 against tho city. To Knforco Ordinance "Tlicro can bo no doubt about It," broke in Mayor Copple. "Tlio police aro to bo instructed tonight to sea that this ordinanco goes in to effect tomorrow morning for all time. Wo aro going to protect tho city and this affair has gono Just long fcnough." To tho council was' presented' a letter, prepared by Tom T. Donnott, on bohalf of tho logging company. "Wo havo a lottor from City En gineer Gidloy stating that unless certain money Is paid to tho city by January 21 wo will bo stopped from hauling logs. Also wo havo been approached by officers of tho city on tho matter and thoro has boon passed an ordinanco that will restrain us from removing somo of tho larger logs from tho tract for they aro naturally bigger than tho flvo tons now allowed un der tho ordinance." Tho lottor wont or to call at tention to a contract they allogo to havo with tho city giving them tlio right 40 luuil through the streets and an agrcoment purport ing to nhow tho loggers would not bo responsible for damages dono to tho streets. Alleges Agreement Shown "On tho basis of this agreement and contract," continued the latter, "wo mailo our contract wltlu tho Coos Day Water company to ro Inovo tho logs and with tho Simp son Lumber company to dollvcr thorri nt tholr mill." In preparation thoro was an initial oxpenso of $0,000 for equipment and If forced to censo logging now tho company would bo damaged to tho extent or $10,000, said tho lat ter. Suo City for $1B,000 "Wo call your nttontlon to tho fact that ir wo aro not allowed to iiso tho streets wo will look to tho city ror damages, at least to tho oxtont or $ir.,000." "Wo are not horo In tho nttl tudo or persons looking ror troub lo," declared Mr. nennott. "Artor somo persons inado a big fiiBs about tho streets tho company made a donation or $400 to tho city. They could not havo legally been rorcod to do so." Minutes Impoitant Ilecoids Among other things tho city contends that tho minutes or tho city council will show declslvoly that Walter Condron camo borare tha council on last July 19 and "verbally reported that ho had tak on a contract to haul logs." It Is claimed this contract made by him was previous to tho tlmo the city Is purported to havo given tho loggers permission to use tho streets and therefore tho company can not clnlm thnt thoy mndo tholr con tract after having nn ngreomnnt with tho city, Th's agreement Is said to havo como lutor. City Attornoy llrnnd was asked for his opinion. "I can not seo thnt tho city Is going to In any way bo llablo for damages becauso of passing an ordinance limiting tho traffic along its streots for tho protection of tho streots. This or dinance poi tains to no ono com pany, but to all truffle. "This Is a question that soveral 'times has been passQd on by, tho Supremo Cpurt and uphold. Clnlms No Contract "My opinion Is thnt tho city has no contract with this logging com pany. And U thoro was an agroo mont, I bollovo that It is not In which tho city laid itsolf open Tor damages." Mr. Donnott again took tho floor. "Undor ordinary circumstances It sooms reasonable to me to hold tho loggers llablo for damages to tho streots. Rut in this Instance wo staiul on a contract mndo with ,U8 by tho city and whlch.axpiesa- Ivoly shows that wo aro not to bb' hold llablo for damages to the streets by reason or tho logging operations. Say Money Is Donated "Four hundred dollars has nl- RESTRICTED OF CITY ready booh donated. If tho othor $700 Is forcod from us, this will amount to adding $1 a thousand to tho cost of tho logs. The com pany never figured on Uils when they ihado their contracts. "Wo Insist tho city has got to Hvo Up to. its contract. Wo glvo you fair1 Warning. If you try to stop us, wo will buo rpr damages. Wo stnnd upon ouri rights." Promised to Put Up Iloml The Mayor broke In. "Rut Mr. Dennett, don't you remember a meeting horo last October whoroln tho loggors verbally agreed to lint up a bond that they would repair tho streots? Tho motion was made and carried that tho city attorney bo Instructed to require or tho log gors a bond of $5,000." "And don't you romombor that Jack McDonnld was up here that very night," said Georgo Cook, " nnd became Indignant that 1)0 city would oven require a bond, say ing his word wns as good as u bond?" Tho mlnutos of that mooting woro Introduced showing thnt tho log gers would bo permitted to con tinue using tho strcot, providing they would put up the bond. Thoro was an ordinanco on tho tablo that would havo torbld tho uso of trallors. City Attorney Drand advised against tho passing of this, declaring moro good could como of strictly enforcing tho ono limiting tho loads. Truck VIolnto Traffic Laws Mayor Copplo pointed out that tho logglngtrucks continually vlo lato tho tratrlc ordinances or tho city "by running to tho wrong sides or tho streets to nvold running Into tho holes thoy. havo dug." 'ilio trarric laws aro to bo strictly en forced and tho loggers will nliso bo brought undor this clnuso and forced to obey tho law. As tho matter now stands tho loads of tho loggors undor tho or dinanco ore limited to flvo tons nt flvo miles an hour nnd tho attor noy or tho company has .glvon tho city warning It'wlll bo sued ror $15, 000.

City Attornoy Drand last evening was given permission to havo nothing to do with tho caso. This action of tho courcll Is in accordance to nn agrcoment mailo months ago whereby J. W.
