The Japa COUNCILMAN DESIRES ' STREET PAVED; WOMEN CAUSE HIM TROUBLE A hearty laugh waa enjoyed by- members of the city council Inst night when Councilman It. C. Lawrence asked hla colleagues how much longer It will be be fore the proposed paving on Thompson street Is underway. Now there Is nothing of the mlrth-pmvoklng nature about such a question as that, hut when Lawrence went Into details and explained his reason for ask ing for the Information It was found that the third ward councilman haa been approach ed many times by many house wives along the street on which the Improvement Is planned, and their questions have resulted In much discomfort to him. "They're cleaning house, and about as fast as the houses are cleaned the wind takes thnt loose dust back Into rooms." Law rence reported. "They're mak ing It pretty lively for me. and 1 want to see thnt business fixed up." IL E Measure Does Wot Meet Hearty Reception at Hands of City Dads Who Take no Action. The first draft of the milk ordinance In the framing of which representa tives of the Women's Club, the county agent, the dairymen, the city physician and middle men who sell milk hud a hand was read to the council Inxt nlaht. The ordinance provides that the dalrvnien must have a license from the city, the fee to be regulated on a slid ing scale with (5 an the minimum charge for a dairy of five cows or less. For dairies with from six to 10 cows, the fee Is 110, and for every additional cow above 10, an additional fifty cents Is to be charged If the . measure Is adopted. The ordinance would also permit the city to revoke licenses of dairies In cases where It Is shown the law Is not being observed. Provision Is also made for Inspection of the .premises and equipment used where milk Is produced and bottled. It Is provided that the money secured from license fees shall be placed In a special fund for defraying expenses of administra tion incurred In the enforcing of the ordinance. Two faults were found with the pro. posed measure by members of th" council in the Informal discussion that followed Its reading. There are no provisions requiring' a specified amount of butter fat to he contained in th milk' sold In Pendleton. The other crdlticlsm was that no dairy men rouldT be reasonably expected to comply with all the provisions of the ordinance. Estimates prepared by City Engineer Frank B. Hayes for assessments in Im provement districts Nob. 80 and 81 were submitted to the council. The matinee of the Kelley Commed lans for the benefit of the summer normal school will be held Saturday afternoon If th's date proves a -cept-ahle to the company. 3 BRITISH SOLDERS M.HL1N. June 2.
