TUESDAY, JUIY 17, 1906. V" I- v . -f - THE MORNING ASTORIAN, ASTORIA, OREGON COUNCIL 11 EETING Canine Controversy Produces Lively Agreement, MAYOR READS TWO MESSAGES Calls Council's Attention to the Great Danger of Oil Tnki and Dis cuses the City's Fnancial Condition. The closing hour of the council's ses sion last night was devoted to an at tempt to solve the problem of finding a suitable location for the dog pound, and though the matter was finally brought to a head by authorizing the committee on health and police to expend not over $40 in finding and repairing a place to keep estmyed and unlicensed animals, the question is by no means settled to the satisfaction of a majority of the council , ' The matter was brought up by Robin son. who stated that he was in a quandry about finding a place to im pound dogs, cats, et al., but thought he had found a suitable location near the city hall. The site selected, he in formed the council, was just the place, except that some minor repairs were needed to the building. Robinson's speech aroused a storm of protest from Auditor Anderson, who was opposed to having the pound located so near the city hall, with the consequent noise attached thereto. Others present voiced the same opinion. The fact that Chief of Police Gamniel had ousted the former dog-catcher yesterday from his position, and named J. H. O'Neil his successor, seemed to be the prime factor in causing the argument, for it was as serted that O'Xeil meant business and that from now on, all luckless quadri peds would be run in if not properly licensed. . The majority opinion is undoubtedly in favor of the City Attorney's sugges tion that the city purchase property, in some part of town, where a barn, and suitable accommodations can be placed for the animals impounded, and also be used for storing property belonging to the city. After the reading of the minutes of the last meeting had been read the Mayor submitted two communications, one relative to the danger from oil tanks, and another ori the city's expen ditures for the past six months. The former was referred to the com mittee on ways and means and the city attorney, and the latter to the com mittee on ways and means. The text of the respective articles -will be found in another part of this Morning's Astorian. Liquor licenses were granted to Jack Anderson and Charles Wise. A petition! was received from ln 'Astoria Progressive Association asking for the use of the council chambers on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month in which to hold their meet ings, and in case the rooms wee in use the police court room-IW-dwird per mission was granted. The offer of Alfred Kinney to donate divided .nu another ward created, and rVpteseiitaliota "In the council by three additional member, was demonstrated last night when Aiulitor Anderson read a petition signed by Karl Knohloch, and 169 others, asking that this be done, The new proposed ward include all that part of Astoria west of the west line of Fifth tre.'t in McClures, if extended a sufficient distance north and south to intersect with' the north and.outh boun daries of the city. At first there was motion to refer the mttor to the char ter commission, but Ctmncilman Kaboth objected, and the entire matter was thereupon layed on the table until the next meeting. A petition for the improvement of Irving avenue between Eighth and Ninth street by Charle Vershnercn and others was granted on motion, and the city at torney instructed to draw up the proper resolution for urrying out the request A communication Was read from A, L Clark respecting the drain in McClure's Astoria. The communication was refer red to the stieet committee. An applicfttm from Victor llano, and A. Fannel to , expert, the city books for the sum of $175 was "referred to the ways ami means committee.

" Building permits were granted to F. Leinenweber and F. Gamine), The' ques tion of g. anting a nii to A. 1, an I F. A. Fisher for the new opera house wfs referred to the committee on fire and water and the fire chief to investigate in regard to exits for the building. The bill of the Troy Laundry for 65 cert reported fav;rably on by the "public property committee was allowed. Respecting the claim of W. A. Goodin for interest owed him by the city the city attorney r -ported tnat the city re fuse to pay the amount asked until Mr. Goodin had first paid the city num erous amounts which V was indebted for hi failure to complete certai con tracts in the specified time. An audible srrjile was caused by the manner in which the tables had been thus turned on Mr. Goodir. It is not tbo.tj'Iit likcl THINGS THAT FLOAT Steamship Kelvinbank Here From London. OTTA COMES IN FR0MC0M0X Odds and En4s of Waterfront News- Heather in Seattle Steamer Leg tett Hera After Raft Quits Fleet Due in Port The haudsome towing steamer Francis H. Leggelt came in' from San Francisco at 5:33 yesterday morning and tied up at the Elmore pier. She came after the big sea-raft of the Oregon Rafting Com pany which has been dolphlntd in the lower bay for the past rive months, and has cleared at the custom house with her tow, but will not get away until things are just right on the bar, for, it is reported, she struck the sands of that barrier in good shape, twice, coming in. The fine British steamship Kelvinbanki from London, which was anchored off the liar all of Sunday, and which en tered port on the evening of that day, came tip from the lower harbor yesterday moruing, and went directly on to Port land, having picked up Captain Pope on the way. She is said to be among the best equipped vessels of the "tramp fleet, and is an immense carrier. The Kamm flagship Lurline arrived down on time yesterday evening, well fixed with people and freight. She left up at 7 o'clock with A.R- Cyrus X. J. Roehmer. A. Whitaker, G. M. Cherry and Mr. W. A. Mears, on her passenger list. The dundy little Heather has been reported from Seattle, and will probably be in this, her home, jiort, on, or 'before next Saturday. All are well on board. She has been gone from here about six weeks. The new foremast has been stepped on the barkentine Jane L.

'.( i .- ' '. -; '" i.- , . i ; . ;, - ordered a $3300 machine from the Buffalo-Pitta Company, and were to be allowed $230 on the present roller, which would bring the price down to $.1230. An ordinance was later intro duced autbo.-kng the street committee to purchase the said roller, wlii'li has been ordered, and Hansen asked that tLe rules be suspended and the bill put through at one. The evident object of this being to ward off any adverse action cn the nar of the council, at some future date, and thereby lea.i the stiect com mittee in a hole, as the committee or dered the roller on its own responsibility, not waiting for the council's action. 1IU motion was lost however, Kaboth object ing. The ordinance was therefore delay ed for final action until next meeting. Another ordinance giving the city power to lease the new steam roller to private contractors was read the first and second times, and Hansen moved a suspension of the rules and a vote on the passage of the bill. This motion like the other was downed by Kaboth. There have been intimations that the ordering of the steam roller was ill-advised, and the price exorbitant, but it is not considered likely that the council will refuse to stand by the street committee and not authorize its purchase. Bids or the repair work necesary on the Tenth street engine house and fire bell tower, were received and the mat ter referred to the city surveyor to investigate and report his estimate of the work actually necessary. The committes on street recommended that the bid of W. A. Goodin of $0419.50 for the Grand avenue improvement, be accepted, and that in the Eleventh-street improvement, the bid of Dill and Young for $1785 be accepted. Both these bids were below the surveyor's estimate. The recommendations were adopted and resolutions to this effect were later in troduced and adopted. The treasurer's quarterly report was submitted and referred to the committee on ways and means. Plans and specifications for the Four teenth street. Eighth fttreet, Niagara avenue, and Kensington avenue, improve ments were submitted and ordered filed. The following ordinances for street improvements were read the first and second times and passed on suspension oh the rules: 1 Fourteenth street, between Franklin and Grand; Eighth street between Lex ington and Niagara; Kensington between Eighth and Eleventh, and Niagara be tween Eighth and Seventh. An ordinance appropriating money for building a drain on Melbourne avenue was read the second time. On third reading of ordinances a bill confirming special assessment roll No. 22 was passed.

According to this reliable source of in formation, there is a train leaving out of this city at 5 o'clock In the evening and billed to arrive In the metropolis just 50 minutes later; the lightning' trick being done between Muyger and Rainier, which ten miles are covered in exactly no minutes at all.
