The city council met last night in reg
ular session, a full board being present.
It was a model meeting for the dispatch
of business. Aid. Kreft ,was the last to
arrive, and ho was fully adorned in war
paint, maintaining his belligerent atti
tude during the whole of the evening.
It was evident from tho first that he in
tended to hold the mayor down to strict
parliamentary practice, and tho mayor
accepted tho gage of battle, perhaps in1
excess of the alderman's expectations,
for his gavel beat almost a 1 tattoo in the
rapid disposal of tho several points of
business as they came up.
The first intimation of cholcr on the
part ot the alderman was over the read
ing of the communication from tho As
toria chamber of commerce, stating that
whereas the United States had caused
to be built a battleship to be named the
Oregon in honor of our state, to bo
launched about Oct. 20th, resolved that
tho Astoria chamber of commerco com
municato with tho boards of trade, city
councils and other state organizations to
co-operate with the Astoria chamber of
commerco to procure necessary funds
for the purchase and presentation of a
suitable testimonial, and recommending
that each of the above-named organiza
tions send one delegate to a convention
to bo held at Portland, Or., October 7th.
At tho conclusion of tho reading th
mayor stated that ho "did not believe
tho finances of tho city would warrant
any such "
"I move that tho recommendations in
tho communication be complied with,"
interrupted Mr. Kreft.
Tho mayor blushed a second from
surprise, hut quickly recovering, put tho
question, which was lost, and thence
forth his face assumed a set expression
and then there were two grim faces till
tho end of tho meeting. Tho unusual
diversion was too much for Joles, and
his customary loquacity gave place to
studied quictudo and an amused ex
pression. No action was taken on tho
Astoria communication.
Provious to this two petitions wore
read, ono lrom Messrs, Bradshaw, Wm.
Michell, et al., praying that tho prop
erty in tho vicinity of Fourth and Fifth
and Washington ho ', hotter protected
from fire. Referred to tho proper com
mittee The other petition was from
Nelllo Waldron and Frank O. Waldron,
praying that tho city execute a deed for
lots 1 and 2, block 3, Trevett's addition.
Referred to tho recorder to make out
deed if the statements in petition were
found correct.
The committee on streets and public
property presented n roport, recom
mending that on account of the present
condition of tho city treasury, the peti
tion for an arc light at the corner of
Third and Liberty be not granted ; also
that the inclined sidewalk recently
built on the bluff be not accepted bb a
donation to the city, as the city has
other steps adequate for tbe purpose,
Roport adopted.
The committee on health and sewers
reported the work on the sewer exten
sion completed by C. M. Fouts, who
charged 13 cents a foot for 1,400 lineal
feet.
The committee on streets and public
property roportcd as to the rock crusher,
that it bad been located on the old
brewery grado, workmen hired and that
it was now In successful operation. Ro
port accepted and placed on file.
Tho bills wero then rend, on motion

After reading tho bills, Aid. Kreft
spoke of several matters that should re
ceive the attention of the council. One
of these was the matter of sidewalks on
Eleventh street, a number of property
owners not having complied with the in
structions to build sidewalks. The re
corder was instructed to order same to
be built immediately. Mr. Kreft then
said there was a defective sewer on the
property of which Mr. Rorden was
agent, and at present occupied by Mr.
Lewis, on the corner of Ninth and
Union. The recorder was instructed to
serve proper notice looking to an abate
ment of the nuisance. The city marshal
was further instructed to enforce the or
dinance connecting all sewers, the own
ers of which had thus far refused to
comply with the notice already given
them.
It appearing that there are several
team licenses unpaid, a motion carried
that the marshal at pnee enforce their
collection.
The petition of C. E. Bayard and
others then came up, praying for the re
moval of about ten feet of the west side
of Court street, unlawfully fenced, and
tho removal of the obstructions on tho
south side of Ninth street, between
Union and Court, consisting of a fence
in tho street adjoining the lots of Thos.
McGraw and Mr. Drews. On this prop
osition an animated discussion arose be
tween Aid. Eshehnan of the one part
and Aid. Krelt and Butts of the other.
Tho former contended that it was a nec
cessary improvement, while Mr. Kreft
said there was not an open street there.
Put to a vote, the petition was granted by
4 to 2.
Mr. Story then arose onlbohalf of Mr.
Mesplie, and stated that tho lattor's
horse had been impounded and sold for
10 without his knowledge. Mr. Mes-
plio mado a statement, charging that the
horso had never left homo and must
have been driven from tho placo. In re
ply tho marshal stated where ho had
found it on Ninth street, that ho had
advertised it ton days and notified Mr.
Mesplio.
Tho recorder enlightened tho council
on tho charter law providing tho manner
in which a suit for damages shall bo
brought, and on motion of Aid. Hudson,
it waB decided that should Mr. Mesplio
consider himself aggrieved, ho should
proceed beforo tho recorder's court, as
provided by the ordinance
Adjourned.
