FRIDAY. SEPETMHKR 8, 1906
City Council Holda Seaaion.
The council met Thnisday with ill
the members present. The recorder
was ordered to have printed the bonds
aa provided for in the ordinance to
raise foods for the construction of
sewera on Hecood and Seventh str Pis
Chairman Fetsch of tho sewer com
uiittoe, reported that the ronte for the
beveuth street sewer was duciiied on
hot that for the Second street sewer
was yet anclir consideration. The
route was agreed cn so far as on
Becond and on Pine streets, but Pine
not quite reachinn the river, the
sewer route from that street to the
outlet was a question of two routes.
ne was by the present survey by a
street below the Kluctric station and
the other was direct to tho river
through private property. This route
would save 1)00 feet of sewer pipe and
be cheaper, but the rixht-of-way had
to be spooled of private parties. As
these lauds owners wished a street at
that point, Attorney Hough thouyhl
it best to locate a street and that
would then (live the right-of-way for
the sewer. The mailer was referred
back to the sewer committee to ar
range for the sewer right of way and
to report at the adjourned meeting
of the council Monday.
A ietition signed by Joseph Moss,
Colonel Johnson end others for a
lateral sewer on West F street was
referred to the sewer committee.
Dr. D. P. lvove, who was lately ap-
mimed county health ofllcei, offered
us services to set also as city health
officer. The matter was referred to
the health committee.
Haloon license ol W. 8. Wood was
renewed.
Leave of ahseuoe was granted to
Councilman T W. Williams.
Mayor Uood called Attention to the
fnot tiiat street lights ordered of the
Electric Company for streets In the
northeast part of tho city had not
been erected and resideuts of that pan
of the city had made complaint. The
light committee whs ordeed to see
that the lights were installed.
A petition from I lie Kslvallon Army
that they bo allowed to hold meet
ings In the streets caused a lively dis
cussion as to whether they really ob
structed the stiees aud sidewalks.
Mayor Uood contended that the Hal
vatiou Army caused crowds to congre
gate and obstruct the sidewlks.
C'ouncilmeu Hiilr and Hull thought
the Salvationists had a right to the
street, in view of the great good they
accomplished iu helping the poor, a d
that there was as much of a c'owd in
front of certain saloons when tho
Salvation Army was not present as
when present, ai.d that if the Hulva
tiou Army was to go off the streets
then all the fakirs, street shows and
traveling musicians should not be
allowed to hold forth on the streets
No action was taksu on the itiliou
aud It was laid over until the next
meeting.

Ashland Light Troubles.
The Siskiyou Electrio Light &
Power Compauy, the corporation
which controls the electric lighting
in the towns of Siskiyou county and
also of Ashland is now in for mure
trouble, by reason of a raise of rates
that have been made iu Yreka. The
citizens of that town are on the verge
of precipitating an electrio light war
ovvr the question of rates, similar to
the one the Company now has oil its
hands iu Ashland.
The Ashland trouble has practically
left that town iu darkness aud candles
and kerosene lamps are the principal
means of light. The Electric Com
pany has not power enough to operate
their plaut and won't increase it on
less their franchise Is renewed. On
the possibility of this being doDe the
Siskiyou Company made a contract
with the Condor Power ft Water
Company of Gold Ray for current for
their plant. The latter compauy
strung their wires from O Id Kay to
tho Ashluud city limits, but the
municipal authorities would uot al
low them to enter the city. The city
offered to buv electric curreut of Dr.
Ray but he refused them, sa, inghe
had a contract with the Siskiyou
Comnauy. Anhlaud now is planning
to put in a municipal owned electrio
plant and operate it by water duriug
the winter from the city's water
jiower in Ashland and during the
summer when all the water is re
quired for the city water system, to
run it by steam power. The citizens
of Ashland are so aroused over their
light troubles that it will quit
likely result iu the city soon having
an electric plant of It-i own, bouds
for that purpose having been recently
voted by a very big majority.
