Forest Grove’s City Council met
in regular session Tuesday eve
ning and transacted little more
than routine business, adjourn
ing at an early hour. The War
ren Construction Co. presented a
request for an extension o f time
upon their contract for paving,
asking until May 1, in which to
complete the paving of two
blocks on First Avenne South,
which had been delayed owing to
the rain and the slowness of the
railroad Company, whose tracks
occupy the thoroughfare, in rais
ing the grade. This was spoken
upon favorably but referred to
the city attorney for an opinion
as to the effect it would have
upon the contract and bond.
A petition from the local
grange requesting the council to
take action seeking to safe-guard
the young girls of the city from
undesirable characters was re
ferred to the vice commission.
The Washington -Oregon Corpor
ation. through its representative,
C. W. H^ill, presented a propo
sition for. the taking over of the
city lighting plant, which was
tabled with but slight discussion.
It was arranged at this meet
ing for the city to keep in re
pair all streets lights, regardless
of by whom erected.
The report of the city treas
urer shows a balance in the gen
eral fund of $2,837.61. In the
Library fund $364.85. Street
bond fund $1,322.43. Road fund
$963,48. Building fund, $94.85.
Bills to the amount o f $1,638.21
were ordered paid from the gen
eral fund.
CATHOLIC YOUNG PEOPLE GUESTS
AT SAINT ANTHONY’S RECTORY
The young people o f St. An
thony’ s Parish and missions of
Cornelius and Gaston took po
ssession o f the Rectory last Thurs
day evening, and seldom have
young people enjoyed themselves
more. About forty were in at
tendance and music, songs, danc
ing and games were pastimes
which seemed to make the hours
fly, A delicious lunch served by
the young ladies was the last in
the c o u r s e of “ enjoyables.”
During the evening a club was
formed to give parties during
the winter.
Committees were
appointed to secure a place and
music as well as to issue invita
tions. It is hoped by these par
ties to eliminate all public, as
well as Saturday night dances,
so prevalent at present.
PUBLIC SCHOOL BUILDING AT BANKS
TO BE ENLARGED AND REMODELED
BANKS, Ore., In accordance
with the decision o f a majority
of the tax-payers o f this district,
expressed at the bond election
recently held in this city, the
present school building is to be
remodeled and at least two rooms
added. Owing to the inclement
weather, actual work will prob
ably not be undertaken until
spring. When the contemplated
changes have been made, Banks
will have an up-to-date and mod
ern school building in every
way.
