COUNCIL ACTS
By Vote of 4 to 2 Rules Are
Suspended and Sale of City
Lots at $7000 Authorized
. --Actual Work of Con
struction to Start in Sept.
' Tho city council in regular scsalon
last night imaged the ordinance author
izing the Bale of the city's lots on the
corner of Uartlott anil TJiird to the
stuto ot Oregon for $7000 as a site (or
the new armory by a vote of 4 to 2.
In order to pass the ordinance lust
night and to get work on the armory
started as soon as possible) a suspen
sion of the rules was necessary. The
two members of the council who voted
osilnst the ordinance last night were
not necessarily opposed to it, but wish
ed it to follow the regular channels of
a city ordinance in the fornuttlve
stages and to allow it to lay over until
next meeting for a final vote.
The other members of the council,
however, felt that they had committed
themselves to General White in agree
ing on the $7000 to bo applied on the
city's share of $20,000 In tho construc
tion of the armory and felt that It
must be passed at once. -
The proceedure wus not long and
there was little bickering or argu
ment.
William Hannah of the Associated
Oil company local branch wus Issued a
building permit for tho compuny which
allows the construction of lavatories
adjoining the new service station
which the company will- construct in
the near future.
A complaint agalnBt the water ser
vice on Plum Btroet was lodged by F.
H. Farrar but no Bolutlon of the prob
lem of bettor service was reached by
the council.
Work will start in tho vory near
future on'tlio armory which is to bo a
$73,000 structure and which will house
headquarters for tho American Legion,
tho G. A. R., the Spanish-American war
veterans as well as other ex-service
men's societies. Civic movements
which require a hall In which to hold
meetings and the National Guard com
pany will also have space in the build
ing as well as public amusemontB, etc.
State architects will have to come
down and view the ground, plans will
have to bo perfected and a general out
line of tho work will -have to be mndo
before the actual construction on the
building commences. It Is expected,
however, that Work will commence
nbotit tho first week In September.
