Councilman !A. C. Staten made the motion, which ' wan seconded and passed at the Mon day evening meeting of the city coun j oil, that the proposed common use ordinance, providing that telephone I companies and power companies be I forced to make common use of poles, be tabled until after the Salem meet ing. All of the companies making use of poles in the city were representated. 1 he council received a communication from K. S. Danforth, manager of the Hydro-Electric Co., and A. S. Hall, manager of the Hood Kiver Gas & Electric Co., W. N. Winter, managar of the Oregon-Wahington Telephone Co., and J. Teague, representing the Pacific States Co., appeared in person, asking that action be deferred. Mr. Hall declared that, while the change might reduce the poles in the streets of the city, any change of construction would cause a further cutting of trees and would thus cause a marring of the city's beauty. Toward the close of the council meet ing Councilman Stark moved that the council go .into a committee of the whole and appoint experts to make a study of the feasibility of installing a municipal light plant. However, Mr. Stark's motion received no second. No small discussion arose when the petition of citizens living along Sher man avenue asking that the street be graded between Sixth and Ninth streets. However, others along the street submitted a protest against the proposed work, saying thBt it should not be begun until next year, and ask ing that if it were undertaken that they be allowed to have sidewalks laid. Carl H. Vaughan, who represented those asking for the grading of the treet, stated to the council that they were not opposed to having a sidewalk laid on the south side of the street, but that it was the intention of those liv ing on the north side to plot clear to the property line with grass. "A side walk would never be used here," said Mr. Vaughan, "and we think that a nice plot of grass will skin a sidewalk that will not be used a city block." All of the members of the council spoke on the matter. Councilman Hell stated that not a member of the body was interested financially in proposed imcrovement and declared that the council should give the people what they want. Councilman raft Btated that the thought it was too late In the season to begin the work. Counclman Stark declared that the work should be extended on through to the Winans ad dition on Sherman. However, the mo tion, made by Mr. Bell, granting the petition, was earned. Teamsters who have been hauling over the Koberg road asked that the citv make improvements on thiB thor oughfare. The petition was referred to the street committee with power to act. An objection to an assessment for approaches from the streets to side walks in the paving district waB buo mitted by John Otten. The city had allowed property owners the grades that necessitated the approaches, ac cording to Mr. Otten, and though the assessment was in a lump sum the con tract for constructing the approaches had been let to a different contractor, The matter was referred to the judici arv committee. K. O. Hall stated that he was unable to complete the asphaltic oil macadam job on Oak, Cascade and State streets and asked lor an extension ol lime un til September 1. His request was granted. O. D. Treiber, proprietor of the Un, derwood-Hood Kiver ferry system, ap beared before the council and asked that the city take steps to prevent the dumping of garbage along the road to the ferery landing. "'1 he stench that is raised bv the decaying matter there has become almost unbearable," says Mr. Trieber, "and passengers on the river boats have been almost overcome We have cleaned out the road, but when the winter rains begin it will be impassable. It will then be necessary for passengers to travel through the forest land owned by the Hood River Terminal Co.. and this, we think, they will refuse." Mr. Treiber presented the council with a petition largely signed by Underwood residents asking that the citv take some steps to make improvement in the condition. He also submitted a copy of the state game and fish laws, which prohibit the dump in it of garbage in streams. A motion was introduced for the im provement of KBilroad street, the work to be carried on out of the general fund. It was also proposed that Sixth street be improved, and K. W. Kelly who owns a feed and grain warehous in the district, urged that this work be carried on at once. The health committee reported that a feasible incinerator site had been lo cated 50 feet east of the Fashion livery barn. L. A. Henderson announced that he was authorized to state that the city would be given an incinerator site in the plot ol ground wesi oi me lac tory district, if the council would sue ceed in getting a road across the rail road at this point. . The citv may, in the near future draw a source of income from license to be charged plumbers. An ord nance providing for plumbing licenses was passed first reading ivionuay nign and referred to the judiciary commit tep. The ordinance providing for the muzzling of dogs was tabled indefin itelv at the Monday night meeting. Since the new streets have bee nnened. according to the expression o many, speeders have been tempted to I travel faster than is safe, and the ! council was asked to take steps to put I a limit on the speed.

COURT'S ATTITUDE Editor Glacier:-In the recall neti. tion at present being circulated, there re certain items or expenditure rought forward as iustifvini? the r. all of the county judge and commis ioners, as follows : (a) On the 7th dav of Fehrn rv 1913, the said judge and commissioners appointed C. K. Marshall road master f Hood River county, Oregon, for one year, at a salary of $5 per dav, and from $2.50 to $7.50 per day for the use of his automobile while working for the county as road master. (The rec ord shows that C. K. Marshall was aid $10 for inspecting Tucker bridge. $33.85 for viewing roads, $471.25 for services and automobile as road master in five months, no bills being itemized r.d no salary lor the month of July in luded.)" The report of the road master to the county court -which will be published i few days will show the necessity for the appointment of a road master nd for a different method of dealing with road matters in Hood River conn- ty. the pay of the road master is $5 per ay. while working, and he is allowed '..50 lor the use of his automobile when actually employed. A horse and buggy would cost more and could not cover one-third the territory. the payment of $40 for inspecting Tucker bridge is a payment made to Mr. Marshall for his services as super ntendent of construction for the coun ty, last autumn long before his ap pointment as road master. The $.'13.85 or viewing roads was a payment for is services as a member of the board f county road viewers, in viewing roads petitioned to be opened, and is mandatory by statute. Iluring the first all of this year $404.12 was paid for iewtng and platting such roads, to the iewers and chainmen. The payment of $471.25 was made up as follows: Hire of auto by county cour! while inspecting roads, $81.25. Salary road master and auto. Al lowance, period Feb. 6, May 31, 1913, 29 days, $217.60. Same for June 23 ays, $171!.f0 Total, $4.1.25. "(b) $1750 for oiling roads." This expendture was necessary if the county ntends to maintain expensive roads Iready built. The oiling covered a greater stretch of road and was very much better applied than last year. The expenditure of $11.30 by the county judge in attending the commis sioners convention at Portland in Jan uary, 1913, was too evidently proper to require explanation or justification, here. "(c) Allowing and paying unitem- zed bills against the county." this charge is too vague it would ead the ordinary reader to believe that the county court are in the habit of paying all bills without due consid eration and without proper care to ascertain their correctness which is not the case. The members of the county court have exercised the utmost care in keeping down expenditure. They fully realise that the system of keeping accounts -especially in road matters leaves much to be desired, and they have had the question of change in the rendering of the road accounts under serious consideration, but, as a new system was provided foi by the last legislature for general use throughout the state and which is to come into force in PJ14, they deferred any present action. (d) The statement that 12 days is sutlicicnt to attend to the county's affairs during a period of six months, s absurd. The members of the court have devoted the least possible time to county business compatahle with effi cient administration. To conclude, it would appear that the principal cause of dissatisfaction is the employment by the county court of road master, following the recom mendation of a grand jury, and the ecisiun on the part of the county judge and commissioners that such an appointment would be advantageous to the county. It may be stated in reference to this appointment that the only protest against the retention of Mr. Marshall's services received by the court waB a etter from Mr. Samuel Stark. John li. Putnam. CITV MAY HAVE NIGHT SCHOOL "If there are enough students here who are willing to take advantnge of a night school, says Dr. H. L. Humble, chairman of the city school board, we will es ablish such a department in the citv schools this coming year. All who contemplate such work should notify immediately either t'ror. McLaughlin, who is row returned from i'eiinsyl vania, where he spent the summer, or myself. The citv schools will open Monday, September 1. A new departure in the work this year will be the Manual training course. "We want to teach the boys bb much practical work as possible," says Dr. Humble, "and the board has tried to impress this on those wl.o will have charge of the new department. If any repair work is needed about the school buildings, we will expect the instructors and their pupils to make them, or course, we want'tne boys who will take part in the work of these classes to learn fancy scroll work and other artistic designs, but more than anything else we want them to be impressed wun the practical lessons they may learn We want them to know how to hang t door when it doesn't set right, or to do any other odd job that may come in their way." Bird Shooters Will Be Prosecuted People of the Oak Grove district are making complaints of young men and boys who have recently been shooting robins in that district. we Know trie culprits," said one of the Oak Grove citizens who was in the city Saturday, "but it is perhaps on account of care lessness that the birds were shot. However, if the offense is repeated the guilty parties will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law." ville county expects a fine crop. The government report indicates a crop for Idaho a little below last year, so do private advices ranging from 75 to 90 per cent or last year.
