ing were taken up and after consid
erable discusion were laid on tho ta
ble and will ,be taken up at the next
regular meeting.
There was present a remonstrance
against the Wall street sewer sys
tem, tho reasons set forth being that
tho council had not gained jurisdic
tion over tho district and the ineffi
ciency and impracticability of the
system as laid out, together with
other reasons set forth.
Mayor Mast asked tho City Re
corder whether or not the proper pro
ceedings had been gone through to
gain jurisdiction and Mr. Kausrud
replied that the charter had been
complied with, acording to City At
torney Feeney. Further discussion
was then had, and Mayor Mastmndc
a brief talk urging the necessity of
n sewer system in this section at nn
early date for the sanitary condi
tions of tho city.
Councilmun Wndo moved that the
remonstrance bo granted and that
the council temporarily cease action
on tho sewer question until matters
were adjusted. This motion was
discussed both by the council and by
the citizens interested. E. E. Oakes
stated that the people were not op
posing tho construction of a sower
but were opposed to tho method of
procedure. E. A. Philpot also stated
practicaly tho same thing and W. C.
Scllmor stated that tho objection
seemed rather to the method than
tho fact that the proporty owners
were opposed to tho sower and also
urged that n sewer system bo put
in soon.
Tho motion was then put to a vote
nnd by four to two the remon
strance was granted. As there had
l ecn bids put in for tho sewer, the
council then returned the bids to the
contractors without opening them.
There was presented an ordinance
to tako up tho Sixth Street and Ran
dolph Avenue warrants but this mat
ter was not disposed of nt this meet
ing. An offer of $305 to Mrs. Rash hav
ing been made for her building near
Tupper Roc& and the same having
been accepted, the City Attorney

?!I0G to pay for tho building and the
building was ordered destoryed at
onco as it was a menace to public
health, under the direction of tho
city and county health officers.
Chris Rasmusson was present and
asked that tho council look into the
condition of the building occupied by
tho L. N. E. restaurant and the Ant
lers Club. A suinll fire occurred in
this building Tuesday.
City Marshal Holman reported
that tho flues did not seem defective
but they extended only 18 inches
above the roof, whereas tho ordi
nance for down town flues designa
ted that they must bo four feet.
Chris Rasmusen also spoke con
cerning a city dumping ground and
on investigation it was discovered
that tho gulch near tho Lookout had
some itmo ago been designated as a
dumping griunds.
Geo. P. Laird wub present und ask-
ed that some action be taken to
give him relief from keeping up 1st
Street East, he having finished his
contract on said street some time
ago and the city engineer having
stated that tho work was completed
The matter was referred to the
street committee with power to act.
Lights were ordered in at Third
street and Bandon avenue and at
Garfield and Seventh.
An extension, of thirty days was
granted to the contractor on Second
Street East in which to finish their
work.
A petition was presented from
Herman Hongell asking permision

ber while constructing a building for
the Standard Oil Co., near tho Ve-J
neer plant. The petition was
granted for a period of sixty days
providing there was no obstruction
,of traffic as a result.
J. M. Adams was granted an exJ
tension of thirty days to complete
his contract on Jackson avenue in
West Randon and Juno avenue in
Bandon Heights.
Tho matter of appointing a city
engineer to fill the vacancy caused
by the resignation of P. A. Sandberg
was taken up and Mayor Mast pre
sented the name of J. S. Sawyer, who
for the past three years has begn in
the engineering department of Mea-
ford. The Council deferred action
upon this appointment and went in
to executive session after the reg
ular sesion, at which time the ap
pointment was ratified by the Coun
cil. It was decided to ask for bids for
the repairing of the wharf on First
street.
It was moved by Councilman Hen
ry that the incoming engineer bo in
structed to fix the plank orad near
the Acme planing mill.
The city recorder asked that the
Council order the money and bonds
in the 12th street fund turned over
to the contractor. A motion was
passed to, comply with this request.
Recorder Kausrnd reported that
the Oregon avenue land sale was ad
journed until Wednesday, Feb. 11,
owing to tho lack of bidders, and
stated that unles bidders appeared it
might be necessary to adjourn from

PETITIONS FOR
ROADS FILED
Twelve Hundred and Fifty Good
Roads Boosters Sign Petitions To
The County Court, Asking Bond
Election.
BANDON LEADS WITH
FOUR HUNDRED NAMES
Judge Hall Favors Having Road
Election At The Time of The
Regulnr Primary in May. Others
Favor Earlier Date.
Coquille, Feb. 3. Mayor A. T.
Morison, of this city, president of
tho Coos county Good Roads associa
tion, filed the good roads petitions
yesterday with Judge John F. Hall
of the county court and there were
1250 names on the petitions, 400
of which were obtained in tho Bnn
ddon district. Mayor Morison had a
lengthy conference wth Judge Hall"
and the date for holding the election
was thoroughly discuscd . Judge
Hall said he thought it would be best
to have tho election called for the
date of the primary election in May
but this did not meet with the ap
proval of Mr. Morison, as he holds
it will delay proceedings so noth
ing could bo acomplishcd in 1914.
Mr. Morison is asking for the elec
tion to be hold nt the very earliest
date, so that the matter can bo set
tled, and in the event of the bond
issue carrying, bonds can be soli!
at once and the money ready for use
this year.
It in held by those who are boost
ing the election that the survey of
roads will occupy considerable time,
and it might be thatno actual hard-
surfacing could be done during
1014, since the grades must be given
time to settle. However, there nre
places where work could bo accom
plished and the hope of the good
roads people is to get the election
off their hands at the earliest mo
ment. Judge Hall, in desiring a
postponement until May, probably
had the thought in mind tho county
could bo saved expense.
Mayor Morison pointed out tho
Jackson county bonds had brought
above par and when they were open
ed there were 15 bidders for them
It is believed Coos Co. would do
well to follow tho proceedings which
Jackson county put into execution,
for their bonds were sold and their
money is 'now available, and grading
is being done this winter.
Judge Hall has set Friday morn
ing of this week for the considera
tion of the petition and to hear what
tho good roads advocates have to say
about tho dnte of the election.
Mayor Morison sends out a gener
al invitation to all who nre inter
ested in the bond election to be pres
ent at tho county scat on Friday
morning to advance ideas and appeal
to tho commissioners for no delay.
