It Boomed to the poopl0 sitting on

this okeh was not forthcoming with
out okeh from tho heads of depart

all bills woro glvon official sanc

tho amount of 85 cents, and tho
other for gas to tho amount ot $5
or mora. It will bo nocossary-for

beforo thoy will bo paid, and In
tho future, according to tho conn

by the Blgnatnro ot tho head of tho
department for which tho orttdo
contained In tho bill Is Intendod.
This, of courso, has been tho rulo,
but this tlmo, it sooms thoro wees
too many exceptions. ,
Ono bill allowed attor discussion
was that of Mrs. Stella Wclfaro, who
asked $135 for nursing hor son
who was confined ln tho city pest

$7.60 a day, but City Health Of

Chlot Defaney will be succeodod by
Keith Ambrose, on tho 15th ot this

that as. long aa tho "chlot would bo

Then Chief Dolaney sprung an
other surpriso by tendering h.1 res

was accepted unanimously, after
which the council awoko to tho

RESIGNATION
passed, and then It dovolopod that
tho chlot was under tho impression
that tils request for a leavo ot ab
senco had been turned down. When
explanations woro mado, tho resig
nation was withdrawn.
Chief Dolaney also wanted to
know whether ho would bo paid
under th0 new salary schedule, but
his hopes wore dashed to tho ground
when ho learned that tho salaries
of tbo oloctlro officer only wero
raised tbo first ot tho yoar, and
that It was necessary for. iho coun
cil to pass an ordlnanco granting
Increases to appolntlvo officials bo
fort tho cblof or any other appolntoo
could collect tho blghor salary.
Tho ordlnanco covering these
ratios, howorer, was passed almost
Imtnodlatoly, and tho chief will bo
paid up to tho first of tho month
at tho old rnto, whllo tho week bo
1 nbsont will bring him his salary
at tho new figures. Mark Howard
will havo charge of tho flro de
partment until Keith Ambroso takt
tho position.
Councilman Hawkins, chairman
of tbo "cesspool" commltteo, ro-
portod that tho city soptle tank was
in a deplorablo condition. City
Engineer Zumwalt, ho said, had vis
ited tho lank with tho comralttoo,
and could hotter explain its un
satisfactory condition, but Mr. Zura
walt was at homo sick and tbo ex
planation would havo to wait. Mr.
Hawkins did not stato whether Mr.
Zumwalt's slcknoss was tho result
of bis visit to tho cesspool, but tbo
mattor of repairing It was laid ovor
until tho mayor could confer with
hlin.. t
'Councilman Vollmea hail hadsomo
experience In building cesspools and
septic tanks, h0 said, and ho could
not see how tho city ccsapool ever
did work right, considering tho way
It was built. "It wasn't built right
in tho first plnco," ho said.
Wo "Havo It On" New York
Former Health Officer A. A.
Soulo proffered sonio Information re
lative to tho city tank, and in
substance explained that tbo volume
ot wator In the lako was so largo
that Bowago was not pormltted to
settlo and becomo a nulsanco. In
fact, said tho doctor. In proportion
to tho water at tho disposal of tho
city of Now York for tbo dissolving
of sowago, this city was much moro
fortunately situated, and with this
assurance that Klamath Falls "has
It on New York" In at loast ono
particular, the matter was laid over
for one week.
Paving resolutions and ordinanc
es furnished moro than tho ordi
nary amount of Intorost, too. Tho
resolution covering a hard surface
paving, 25 foot wldo, with no curb
ing, on Eldorado and Mofrose
streets, was adopted with tbo pro
viso that tho required engineer's fee
bo doposltod, and was orderod pub
lished In tho Horald.
iA petition presented by William
T. Leo and others for tho paving
ot Eleventh street, south ot Main
street, was In orldonco again, a for
mer one having boon turned down
becauso It did not contain tbo nec
essary numbor ot signatures. Qoorge
Blohn'a name has boon addod to tho
potltlon, making it logal. Howover,
tho mattor of laying sowers boforo
or after the paving, and tho amount
ot plpo at tho disposal ot tho city,
ontered tho discussion, and tho mat
ter was laid ovor temporarily until
tho sowor situation could bo Inves
tigated. It was conceded, bowevor,
that It would bo wise to lay tho
sowor beforo tho work ot paving
was begun,
Tho paving of Oak: stroet, bo
tweon Sixth and Sevonth streots,
was tho subject ot acrimonious dis
cussion. This part of Oak street
Is Included in tho city hall unit, but
tho potltlon askod for a 25-foot
pavement, instead ,'ot 60 feet, as
was naked for In all other parts ot
tho unit. A remonstranco against

tho intorost ot 60-foot paving, and
Ed Dunham, against whom Mr.
Qrlgsby "had directed several volled
thrusts, was Insistent that the 25-
foot specification be adhered to. He
Informed a protostant, who lived
outside ot tho unit, that ho was
"butting In," and then stated bald
ly to tho opposition to the 25-foot
specification that they were "whip
ped," and that they knew It. The
50-foot ndhoronts maintained that
tho narrow paving would militate
against tho value ot all tho ad
jacent property, but Mr. Dunham
did not think so. The upshot waa
that tho council adopted the potl
tlon, and tho city attorney was in
structed to draft an ordlnanco cov
ering ,tho proposed Improvement.
Resolutions for the paving ot
AVashlngton and several intersect
