City Council Declines to Allow
the Freak to Exhibit
During Regatta
NO HANDLING OF SERPENTS
ContfKlon Will n.ve to Clem Awty Dcbrfo
From SlrttU nert.fltr Bel art Work It
Accepted by City
Tim clly council lunt night went on
record unnnlmouiily ngalrmt vnttkoa;
they ill'Jn't like them nohow, b they
erved on golden philter, displayed
wrajd In graceful coll around the
elnewy form of the wild man from Bor
neo, or an the particular pete of the
"toldy from the tropica," A. for Booco
the man who would rather dine off frl
cnaeed vlT, with crawling rattler for
demwrt thiin atiythlng elae on the menu,
the roumil would have none of him,
an tliu doom of the mun with the train
ed aerpenta of the ovlpnroua kind who
fiilliiua in the wake of clrcua shows,
wua sounded In the paaaage of an or
dinance amending the ordinance reg
ulating the licensing of such entertain
ment. The amendment says that no
person with a fondness for handling
and doing stunts with snakes shall ex
hibit In the city of Astoria, and that no
snake shall be exhibited unless they
are in a gluss cane. Other shows shall
pay a license of $J wr Any or $50 per
quarter, which me ans that the Itinerary
slde-showmnn who exiect to reap a
golden harvest during the regatta will
have to divvy up with the city. The '
ordinance was Inspired by the appear
ance In the city of a reptile eater, who j
has a reputation for giving a show that
for downright disgusting features has
no eijual.
WAR ON CONTRACTS.
It was not a very lengthy session of
the council last night, but the members
.awed considerable routine, and enough
was suid at the meeting to give con
tractors for public work to understand
that unless they complete their con
tract In the future to the extent of re
moving the accumulated debris from
the streets there will be no money paid
out by the city. Complaints were re
ceived from several sources. Including
the mayor and councllmen, that certain
streets designated as completed resem
bled the aftermath of a tornado, and
that until a broom brigade Is put to
work to clear away the debris it will
be Impossible to tell just what has been
done In the way of Improvement.
New ordinances, were Introduced for
the Improvement of the following
streets;' Franklin avenue, from fittn to
Ninth; to be completed October 15.
Fifteenth street. Cedar to Date; Oct.
15. Exchange street. Hth to 17th; Nov
1. Ordinances were passed establish
ing the grade of Ninth street from
Franklin to Jerome, and Franklin aven
ue from the west line of Adalra to 36th
street.
A communication was read from the
street superintendent calling attention
to the condition of the drain lying south
of Jtlh street. It will have to be re
built. The main drain runs through
private property, and unless something
Is done before the heavy rains come on
there will be some damage done, he
said. The drain in McClure's also re
quires some attention. It picks up a
creek near the crossing of Fifth street
and Franklin and empties Into the sew
er at the crossing of Sixth and Ex
change streets. The attention of the
council was also called to the bad con
dition of Ninth street from Astor street
north to the front north of the railroad
depot. The underpinning Is bad and
should be rebuilt, said the stre?t super
intendent. .
