MEETING OF THE COMMON COUNCIL ' The regular meeting of tbe Common Council was held Monday evening, with Mayor Blowers and four oounoil men ptesent, Counoilraen Blauohar and Builey and Recorder Nickelson being absent. Tbe street committee recommended the passage of an ordinance fixing street grades, and tbe ordinance passed its first reading. Tbe ordi nance calls for terracing the streets on all aide bill streets, to conform to the contour of the land. No bard and fast rule can be laid down, but each street will have to be treated In ac cordance with the lay of the ground. Where there la a fall of several feet between the north and south sides of the street, it is proposed to terrace the upper sidewalk above the street, and also drop the walk on the lower side, leaving level roadway in tbe middle or tbe street. Were tbe walks to come down level with the roadway, it would necessitate a out iu some in stances ot fifteen feet, requiring a re taining wall along tbe property, and l)e very expensive. Resides, it is thought that the looks of the street will be improved by the terrace gyg tem. The sidewalks so terraced, will be made to conform to the general grade of the street, although on a higher level on the upper side and lower level on the lower. A new dog ordinance was also Intro duced aud passed its first reading. The present dog ordinance is lather weak in places, and the new one is copied from the Portland ordinance, which makes it unlawful for anyone to keep a vicious dog, or one that is a nuisance, and there must be a tax paid on every dog owned and kept iu the city limits, whether allowed to run looso or not. The ordinance was referred to tbe Judiciary committee, to report at the next meeting. The committee will report iu favor of tbe new ordinance, and also In favor of tbe present rate of tax.
