COUNCILMEN SAY
IT’S CLEANUP TIME
At a special meeting of the city
council, held Tuesday evening,
the councilmen decided that Mon
day, May 8th, should be officially
known as Cleanup Day and, just
to encourage the citizens in this
good work, the city will pay the
expense of hauling away from pri
vate premises all non-combustible
rubbish that is placed in sacks and
left in a convenient place. All rub
bish that can be burned should be
disposed of in this manner, as the
task of taking care of the other
kind is all the council cares to un
dertake.
Bids for the sale of street im
provement bonds were opened and
three sales made, Mrs. R. M. Cole
and Alice C o l e
e a c h taking
$500 00 worth at par and accrued
interest and R. P. Wirtz taking
$100.22 at the same terms Bonds
totaling in the neighborhood of
$1,700 are still with the city re
corder f or sale.
President Bushnell of Pacific
University asked, through letter,
that the city furnish either light
or water, or both, free to the col
lege for the next two years, but
the councilmen felt that the city’s
finances were not in condition to
stand the strain, as the request
amounted to practically a gift of
$500 per y e a r . S o m e of the
c- iuncilmen were of the opinion
that they had no right to give
away public revenues in the man
ner asked. Mr. B u s h n e l l also
a-ked for a fire hydrant in place
of the one removed from the cam
pus by the city and the light and
water committee will grant his re
quest.
The light and water committee
was instructed to devise ways and
means of collecting delinquent
light and w’ater bills or have ser
vice discontinued to such con
sumers.
Treasurer was ordered to draw
warrant for $812.03 to pay inter
est on refunding water and light
bonds; also to call in and pay off
