Ordinance No. 2SS, authorizing the construction of catch basins and storm sewers on First street between Cas cade avenue and Oak street, the ex pense to be cared for by the road fund, when it came up for its second reading at the Monday night meeting of the city council, aroused a warm discus sion. A motion was made by Council man Wright, seconded by Councilman Smith, to table the ordinance. Mr. Smith stated that he thought a resolu tion of last meeting of the council would take care of the sewer construc tion but when it was explained to him that no definite action was taken on the resolution he voted against the motion. Councilman Hoggins did not vote on this motion, stating that be cause of recent absence he was not fully informed on the matter. The rest of the council being present, ex cept Dr. Hrosius, and all voting yes, the motion was kiiled. Before a motion was made by Coun ilman Early and seconded by Council irai Howe to put the ordinance on its linal passage, Mr. Huggins called the attention of the council to the fact that authorizing the expenditure of the First street storm sewers to be cared for. by the ro id fund would set the precedent for the whole system, which will lie installed at a later period, to be cared for in this manner. However, he added that he was in favor of tin city caring for the installation rather than having it left to assessment. 1 he mayor warned the council that it uld be careful in the matter, stating that the road fund instead of the gen eral fund was mentioned in the ordi nance and that the city wmld soon be come involved in an expcidilurc that would take from the moneys to he used in keeping up the Fast Side grade, the steel bridge and its approaches. He estimated that within the next few years the costs of sewers similar to that of hirst street would reach 120,000 or 130,000. Mr. Early took the oppo site view of the matter. He believes that many years will pass before the city will have lospend the fourth of such an amuont on storm sewers. The ordinance passed finally, only Mr. Wright voting against it. A resolution was passed instructing the street committee to let the contract for the installation, which, it is under stood, has been given to K. 1). Gould & Co. A petition was presented to the council by the property holders in the districts involved asking that Uak street from Front to Fifth, Front street from Oak to State and State street from Front to the west approach to the steel bridge be graded, macad amized and curbed with concrete and that the electric and telephone wries of Oak street be put underground. The petition was referred to the street committee. A communication was submitted by the W. (J. Aldred Co. asking thai the city take steps toward having the ex cavation work done on Oak street in order that they might ptocttd with concrete construction woik for which they had a contract. '1 he Midler was referred to the street committee who are instructed to cull for bids, if they see lit. A. L. Douglas had a contract for this work hut because of his delay and failure to give proper bond it was rescinded by the city. The street com mittee will investigate Jt tie status of the Ninth and Eugene street work similar to that needed on Oak street, and call for bids. Notice of completion was given by Aldred & Co. of work on blocks 3 and f of Columbia street in the Waucomu and Riverside Park additions as well as that in Winan's addition. The work was approved of by the city engineer and marshal and a supplemental as sessment was authorized levied against the property holders for the remunera tion of the contractors. A communication from City Attorney Derby to the Judiciary committee, advising them to accept the offer of A. W. King, who is willing to pay in pro portion to other property owners on all property that he has in the city, in stead of demanding an assessment on a full lot, which whs erroneously made against him. He also advised that the boundaries of Slate street be investi gated by the street committee in order to ascertain whether or not assessments should be met by t lie Hood River Lumber Co. E. W. Winans, who was assessed $55.2!) on this improvement, should be rebated this sum, he said, he was granted the privilege of doing his own improvement. The communica tion was referred to the street com mittee. The judiciary committee submitted a resolution, which was adopted, author ized the recorder to draw a warrant on the general fund in favor of seiver district No. 8 improvement fund to meet an unpa'd over assessment against the property of W. F. Rand. Marshal Lewis stated that Dr. E. E. Jackson had been ordered to abate the nuisance of using the barn at tlie j corner of Twelfth and May streets as a horse hospital. The veterinarian had promised Jto do so, the marshal stated. However, he added that he understood the hospital was still being operated. The judiciary emmittec was instruct ed to have an ordinance drawn for the oiling of Twelfth street, the expense to be borne by an assessment of the abutting property owners. W. G. Aldred & Co. have made an offer to heat the oil in the tank cars by making connections with the boiler to run their concrete mixer, furnishing men to operate it, for the sum of $11 per day. This price was considered too high by the council and an effort will be made to secure better bids. Fiorn present operations lie lit w $;',0,lKili passenger station ot tl c O-W. It. & N.

Mosier anil White Salmon district l as just returned from the meeting of the man agers of the company of the North west held last week at Kennewiek, Wash. He states that no definite plans have been reached as to the con struction and development woik to he done along the White Sabno i river. This work and the laying of the cable across the Columbia will pro! ably not be undertaken until the ik vek pinenl is completed on the Oregon side of the river. However the connictto' of The Dalles and Hood River plants v-ili give each an exchange of power which may be taken advantage of in case of acci dent at either place. Mr. Hall states that the reports e' mysterious camps and sui vev ing pi,i ties in the White Salmon distnct di es not concern his company. lit pints come from that district weekly to the effect that new water rights ere being filed upon.
