Routine of Tuesday
Council Meeting
After'the reading of the minutes
and usual reports and passage of the
monthly bills, Tuesday night, Coun
cilman Danta moved that a special
meeting be held Wednesday night as
the charter amendment, which was
being prepared at the request of the
Commercial Club, was not ready.
Councllmon Nininger and Cornelius
stated they would ,be unable to at
tend. A communication from the bond
company which bonded Springs Com
missioners Dodge and Greer, asking
the council's advice as to whether the
bonds, which ran out last spring,
should bo renewed or canceled, was
laid on the table upon motion of Mr.
Banta and will remain on the table
until after the city election Decem
ber 19, as Mr. Greer's term expires,
and also an amendment vesting the
powers of the springs commission in
the council is to come up for a vote,
according to Mr. Banta.
The city recorder was authorized
to pay bonds coming due during De
cember, January and February.
A number of other matters were
cared for as elsewhere reported.
The proposed Willow street matter
was brought up, and City Engineer
WaJk'er "Hated that an investigation
had to bo made to find whether the
city had a deed to the necessary
ground, ?nd it was found that such
was the case and the street commit
tee would take up the matter of the
extension and would probably have a
report at the next meeting.
A contract covering the furnishing
of electric current to customers with
in the city limits who are attached
to the California-Oregon Power Com
pany's Bellevlew lead, which Is a
power lino owned by the company,
which runs from their sub-station out
to the Bcllevfew district, was ap
proved. In the1 past nothing but a
mere oral agreement has existed for
the protection of these customers.
A resolution calling the regular
city election for December 19 was
passed. ,
A narrow strip of city land which
was abandoned when First street was
laid out was deeded to the Carson-
