A rsraonstrance against the proposed

residents within the district named, was
read.
remonxtranee against granting sa-
loon license for the corne. OF second and
Virginia, was also considered.
Dnrie said there was already a saloon
there and one az the seagrave, block
further east.
Hui was opposed To making so large
district. especially a. IL included residence
portions Of the city.
Twieheli and Duric moved and urged the
adoption OF the committees recommenda-
ton.
DR. KiIbouFne, by consent OF the council.
made an earnest plea against extending the
limits.
Phillips said he would not object To the
line going along Third street a FAR as
Cherry or Columbia.
Hall amended the committees recon-
mendation TO have the line follow from
Depot street to Second. thence south on
Third, and thence on line Of committees
report.
NIesz said this would shut out the sea
grave Denny and Rainier hotels; bat the
lines could be extended easier than they
could be contracted.
Hsmm 4 Schmidt asked that the line he
extended up Pike street To include their
new hotel on the corner of Third. Walter
Duiur wanted IL extended TO Fourth street
TO take IN his saloon.
After very heated debate the limits as
amended were adopted.

rsrienced by there being several street "
the same name In the city, and on histso-
ton the Judiciary committee Was in
sttncted to take the matter in hand and 10
suggest new names, so there would he no
two streets 1t the same name.
Hall seconded the motion. but thought il
would he necessary 10 wait until the new
city map is completed.

Hughes had once prepared an index of the
