The City Cou ncil met in regular
session Tuesday evening with all
members present, and Mayor Gallier
in the chair. 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.
