ORDINANCE TO BE INFORCED
Franklin Avenue Is tn Need of
Itepair Beyond the Clatsop
i Mills and Council Will Be.
t gin Work lit Once.
Informal discussion occupied tht at
tention of the members of the council
at lust night's session. Mr. Hansen
pointed out that property owners had
not been complying with the build
In permit law. He said that only
1? permits had been issued by him, and
he wanted to know if the chief of po
lice couldn't be instructed to see that
the ordinance was lived up to. Mr.
Belland said that he had talked with
many persons who were not aware of
the existence of the law, and who clung
to the belief that they could build on
their own property without any per
mit from the city. Some of these per
sons had even threatened to stand suit,
and were informed by Mr, Belland that
the. city was doubtless ready to back
up Us law. , Mr. Belland also express
ed the opinion that the ordinance was
defective in its. most important phase,
in that it did not require property
owners to specify the coat of the im
provement No definite action was
taken last evening, but the council
evidently means to enforce the law.
, The matter of the Improvement of
Franklin avenue from the Clatsop mills
east was called up by Mr. Burns, chair
man of the street committee. He said
the street was in dangerous condition
and that It was now past repair work.
It appears that the thoroughfare Is be
low grade, and that to make It con
nect properly it would be necessary to
raise it to the grade of Commercial
street Mr. Burns said a substantial
improvement would be necessary, for
the nature of the ground there was
such that posts would not suffice. He
favored a piling foundation. It will
be necessary to repair this street for
a distance of eight blocks and the work
will entail a large expenditure. At the
next meeting of the council Mr. Burns
will bring in a resolution for the Im
provement As the street is very gen
erally used, the Improvement must be
made rapidly.
Mr. Burns thought the council ought
to take some action looking to Im
provement of the crossing at Grand
avenue and Ninth street This cross
ing was not Included in the ordinance
providing for repair of Ninth street The
crossing is In very bad condition, but
the street otherwise Is newly Improv
ed and In first-class shape. Mr. Bel
land believed the repair should be
made at the expense of the property.
The matter will be called up for de
cision at the next session.
Street Superintendent Kearney
stated that the rock crusher is about
to go out of commission and advised
the council to lay in a supply of rock
while It was possible to secure one.
Bock Is now being used on Exchange
street, a recent improvement, with ex
cellent results.
Ordinances were passed under sus
pension of the rules to accept the im
provement of Duane street from Six
teenth to Seventeenth, and Commer
cial from Fourteenth to Sixteenth. Or
diuanceaio pa N. Clijiton 4 Son thj
last-named Improvement were Intro
duced and will be passed at the nxt
meeting.

the service the better will their pay
be.
