Motion Pa6ses Unanimously at snsclal Session Held This After. noon Warrant for the Money Will Be Taken to Heppner by Mayo Halley. The rouncll was called In special session this afternoon for tho consld erntlon of tho Heppner relief fund The meeting was called to order by Mayor Halley, who stnted tho object of the meeting and called for discus. Blon of tho question, Clopton was In favor of the appro prlntlon, hut he did not know whether or not this was tho time to send tho money. Ho thought that ponmps we might better wait until towards the end of tho matter and thon wo could tell what they needed nnd how to sup. ply their wants. The blankets and things that had been sent to the peo ple had been stopped at Kcho and were thero yet. Thoso things ought to be sent, and the men from hero who were assisting nt Heppner could then tell them what was needed. Johnson thought that $1,000 would be a small sum to scud nnd that tho rouncll might send $fU0 now and the rest later. Halley thought that some appro priation should be made from tho city now, Just to show the good will of the city. Heretofore tho help had been from private sources and thoso who had lrlends In the stricken placo. Now the city should come to the front and show that It svmnnthlzcs with its sister city in distress. Sommervlllo moved that tho coun cil order tho recorder to draw a war rant for $r00 In favor of tho relief committee of Hoppner and tho motion was seconded by Howard and passed by an unanimous vote. It was decided to Bend tho money over to the city by Mayor Thomas Halley, who will go to Heppner on tho early train In the morning. COMPROMISE 1A0E mcnt to his men.
