FOREST GROVE, WASHINGTON CO., ORE., THURSDAY, MARCH 2, 1905.
GRANT MANY REQUESTS
Mayor Johnson was authorized to
obtain legal services to prepare an
answer to the complaint filed against
the city by the president and board of
trustees of Pacific University.
The reading of the curfew ordinance
was called for and it was found that it
was devoid of all its power in as much
as it called for the ringing of the Con
gregational church bell, at 8 in the
winter time and 9 in the summer, and
the church and bell have long since
been destroyed by fire. The blowing
of the condenser whistle was provided
for by the council but was not
engrossed in this ordinance, hence the
release of the boys who were arrested a
few nights ago, because of this defect
in the ordinance. A new curfew ordi
nance was ordered drafted.
Deputy Marshal Lenneville, tendered
his resignation to that office and it was
accepted.
