At the regular monthly meeting of the
city council Saturday night there were
present Mayor Menefee and Connciimen
Nolan, Johns, Thompson,. Ross, Wood,
Clough, Kuck and Champlin.
A communition was read from Mr. J.
L. Story offering in payment of the
city's claim against him, sufficient land
where the pest house now stands to pay
the claim, Mr. Story representing that
owing to the stringency of the money
market it is impossible to borrow money
upon real estate seeurits'. Referred to
judiciary committee.
A petition from the -council of the
Lutheran church, I. C. Nickelseu chair
man, asked the city council to postpone
the auction sale of certain lots desired
by the church until spring, as the
council have decided they will not build
a church until then. No action re
quired. , Councilman Johns of the committee
on streets and public pioperty, made a
verbal report in the matter of lighting
the streets. The committee bad seen
the president of the electric light com
pany who stated it was impossible for
the company to furnish incandescent
lights, owing to the extreme demands
now made upon the plant for lights now
in use. Tney would tnrnisn arc lights,
upon condition that the city would make
a contract for three to five years time, at
the old rates of $12 per light, and to take
twenty lights. The matter was passed
at this time without cocament, but came
op later. The mayor thought eome
action should be taken before next meet
ing, as the days were getting short and
lights of some sort were badly needed.
Mr. Lauer stated that twenty-three
lamps can be fitted np of the old supply,
designed. for coal oil. Rosa favored oil
and the old lamps. A motion was then
made by Thompson that the matter be
referred to committee on streets and
pnblic property and prepare to light the
streets with the lamps available, and to
procure as many others as are considered
necessary. Carried. But Councilman
Nolan continued the subject and put
another motion in relation thereto.
which was also carried. He said he re
garded the oil lamps merely as a make
shift and would not prove satisfactory to
the people, that he had been trying to get
the matter in shape for some company
to furnish lights, and would npw move
that the recorder be instructed to adver
tise in the Oregonian inviting bids for
lighting the city by incandescent lights
The motion unanimously carried. ,
- The committee on streets and pnblic
property recommended that the petition
for opening the street west of the fair
grounds be not granted. Report re
ceived and recommendation adopted.
For the committee on health and po
lice, Councilman Thompson reported
that the street in front of D. L. Cates
property (Fulton street) was made filthy
by an open sewer. Marshal Lauer re
ported that nnder the old Lusher barber
shop there was yet a pool of stagnant
water three feet deep and had been there
all summer. Councilman Nolan called
attention, on request of Mr. Hudson, to
the sewerage situation near his place
which required attention. Clough re
ferred to some like bad places on Front
street. Wood reported that a very bad
condition existed throughout the block
where his butcher shop is, and said that
eome culverts should be opened through
the railroad track. In this connection
the mayor said his attention bad been
called to the unusual amount of sickness
n town, and that possibly the city
water was at fault. He therefore sent
Marshal Lauer and Supt. Norman up
the creek to investigate and that he
would be glad to bear a report. Mr.
Lauer, for the committee, said they went
np to the Meeplie reservoir, where they
found everything clean and in perfect
condition ; then to tbe flame, which was
also satisfactory ; from thence to Sandoz
place where they found a pigpen which,
if it rains, might wash some filth into
the creek, but none so far; then to tbe
forks of the creek and found no possible
source of pollution ; then to Erichsen's
and found nothing ; very little water, if
any, flowed back into the creek from ir
rigation ditches: he believed from the
investigation that the water was no
purer at the very source than it was
when it entered the city pipes; return
ing he got the promise from Mr. Sandoz
that he would put the pig 'pen on higher
ground. Thompson corroborated Mr.
Lauer's rebort. He had been np there
lately and found the ' water pure and
clean, and no filth from tbe sheep cor
rals. Tbe conncil Yeached an under
standing that the stagnant places within
the city should be at once looked after
and remedied. .
The1 city officer's reports were then
read, ehowing last mouth's receipts to be
