M. Williams & Co., aeking privilege to close alley temporarily in block 5, Bigelow's addi tion ; also for the nse of part of the street in front of lots 1, 2 and 3, block 5, for etorage of building material. Peti tion granted, without argument. The committee on the Bonn-Hunting-Ion alley requested further time; granted. Councilman Nolan called attention to the construction of a bawdy house be tween the blacksmith shop and the freight depot, and believed the council should take some steps leading to its suppression for immoral purposes. . On this matter nearly all the councilmen. expressed some opinion. Saltmarshej thought the council could not discrirain4 ate against one house in favor of the rest. Thompson believed it was a mat ter for the marshal to look after, and did. I not want theconncll to be nlaced onrec-x ord as countenancing an unlawful thing. Ross thought the existence of the house In question would necessitate the em ploy of another night watch. The sen timent, however, seemed universal that the house should not exist, even the mayor giving voice to such a sentiment. The present law forbids the existence of houses of ill fame in Dalles City, punish able by fines, which are regularly im posed, and bis honor said that in caee of the new one he thought the recorder would fine its inmates often enough to make the business" unprofitable, and that the marshal would also do his duty in the premises. The subject was left in that shape, that is, an unwritten un derstanding that the marshal and re corder are to be supported by the coun cil in any 6leps they may undertake to suppress the house by persistent arrests and fines. y The reports of the recorder, treasurer and marshal were then read, accepted and placed on file. ' Crowe asked what amount is now on hand capable of being drawn upon, and was informed by the recorder that there is now in the treas ury $3609.45. Dr. Snedaker's letter was taken up from the table, and a motion made that the recorder draw a warrant for and forward it.' v A motion was then made that the lot ordinance be placed on its final passage. It was read and recites the numbers of all city lots, with prices fixed upon same Sir. A v Bunnell Dies. to week.
