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.

anil White Salmon district l as just
returned from the meeting of the man
agers of the company of the North

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
