After the reading of the minutes of the previous meeting, the business of the evening was opened up in earnest. The proposi tion of the Bandon Light and Water Co. was taken up and the ordinance read. This ordinance provides that the city enter into a contract with the company for five years, paying $2.00 a hydrant per month for water, and $2.50 for the fire engine At the present time this would meat: >32 .50 a month. At the end of the five years the city is privileged to take over the plant at an amoui’t of which the earnings of the previous year would be 8 per cent. For in stance, if the net earnings were $1,000, then the price of the plan: would be $12,000; however, the city is not under obligation to take the plant unless it sees fit to do so. The company must also furnish a 55 pound pressure Mqfirst street, and whenever the pressure is less than that, then the amount in proportion will be deducted from the price per hydrant. This ordinance met with objection among some of the councilmen, but was passed to the first reading, and will come up again at the next meeting. The ordinance for straightening First street at the west end was passed, the property owners and city having come to an agreement on the proposition. All bids for the improvement of Fifth street were rejected, an u more- bids will be asked for at a sp ecial meeting to be held next Tuesday evening. The matter of changing the plan of improving the street was also discussed and may be taken up later. Bills were allowed as follows: Mrs Max Ruegnitz, for nursing. $32.00; J. B. Moore, labor, $8.75; 1». L. Tracy, $3.45: miscellar crus, $2.30; Mrs Wakefield, $6.30^ Citv Meat N'arket, $1.45; A. Haberly. $4.50: E. B. Henry, $42.50. The bill of the Bandon Light and Power Co. of Dan Shannon, the evangelist, who has been holding forth with such great success in Marshfield for the past five or six weeks, was in Bandon Monday night and preached in the Opera House to a capacity audience. No matter what people may say of Dan Shannon, they all'must ad mit that he has '.he power of sway ing audiences, that he has a wealth of illustrations to drive home iiis points, and that if any ordinary man would try to go up against him he would make said ordinary man look like "thirty cents” in about three minutes. Shannon is witty, humorous, and at the same time has some sound philosophy and drives it home in a way that is surely convincing. We could not attempt to give a review of his sermon, but suffice to say, he went after sin in all its forms, and tore it to pieces with such amazing power that those who heard him will probably not forget it for some time. While he was here the Methodists, I reshyterian and Baptist churches engaged him to conduct a series of Union Evangelistic meetings in Ban don either in the near future or early in the fall. While here Mr. Shannon author ized the publication of the following: At three services io the tabernacle in Marshfield on Sunday, in the presence of thousands of people Evangelist Dan Shannon offered a reward of twenty five dollars cash to any person who could prove that he ever said in any of his meetings that he would like to have any cowboys in the audience rope those two heifers and bring them back, when two ladies left the audience. Noone claimed the reward and the offer is still open. Anyone circulating such a story is circulating a lie, and Mr. Shannon stands ready to reward any one who will prove that it is other wise. Work is now progressing on the new vault for the First National Bank and will be pushed to comple tion as rapidly as possible so that everything will be in readiness for the ne# bmk to start in business not later than April 1st $56.00 was laid on the table until the next meeting, and the bill of A. F. Estabrook Co. for $ 10.48 for lumber, was rejected The council then ad ourned. As Work For New Industries MEETINGS EXCEEDINGLY ENTHUSIASTIC The meeting of the Commercial Club last Friday night was largely attended as usual and a very en thusiastic meeting was held. The club is beginning a campaign of improvement which will mean much to Bandon, not only in a commercial way, but for the beautily- ing of the city as well. A number of communications were read from outside parties looking for locations for various projects, and the secre tary was instructed to correspond with them further on the subject with the view of showing them the advantages of locitirig in Bandon Besides the projects of industry that were taken up, a number of suggestions for the improvement and beautifying of the city were made. The committee in charge of the sidewalk to the beach was or dered to go ahead with the work as enough money had already been raised to give the work a good start and in this connection it would be very wrong to allow the fact to go unnoticed that the Ladies’ Art Club of Bandon had contributed $100 toward the sidewalk. The Art Club is made up of a number of Bandon’s energetic ladies who are always willing to helo in any way that will beautify the city, and it is largely due to their assistance that the side walk to the beach proposition was taken up. The matter of opening First street was aiso further discuss ed and the committee announced that thev had secured a large num ber of signatures to the petition and would put it up to the city council in the near future. The subject of paving First street from the planking at the pier to the planking in front of the postoffee, was also taken up and discussed A number of the property owners along the street were present and most of them spoke favorably to making the improvement. A number of other minor matters were discussed after which the meeting ad ourned to meet again nex Friday evening. Every business man and citzien of Bandon who is interested in the progress of the city shoud be in at tendance at the meetings of the Commercial Club.
