THE HOUSE OF DELEGATES.
Fruitless Effort to Reduce Force at
Pumping station.

In the house of delegates resolution OPP
posing the reduction of the force at the
Lake Washington pumping station was
voted down. James said that no one had
proposed to reduce the force, but the in
tent of the resolution was to place those
employees in a position where they could
snap their fingers at tina superintendent,
and that 10 adopt il would place them be-
yond his control. Hurd and Little each
said they had never heard Of such a resolu-
ton, and thought il strange that it had
come up. Crichton supposed the force was
already as low as could be permitted, and
said II would not be economy TO reduce It
TO point where the machinery might be-
come damaged or other injuries might hap
pen. James said there were three engi-
neers. and a helper who acted sometimes
as engineer. Jealousy had been created,
and the superintendent should control.
Hurd said the engineer should be empow-
cred to discharge any or every nan if
necessary.
The following ordinances were passed:
Providing conditions for opening streets
and alleys.
Appropriating money to pay audited bills.
Levying a special assessment to redeem
the bonds for the improvement of Harrison
street.
Establishing the grade of Taylor street.
Authorizing the transferring of certain
street lights in Walla Walla addition.

he went on:

kilt skirt. 1t is made up with a great deal
Of embroidery on the square collar and the
turned-over cuffs. 1t is also considered
stylish when quite plain, with merely rows
of stitching, or else some bands of pidue
braid on the large collar and the little
jacket. In every case the kilt skirt is
quito plain.
When trousers are put on they are very
short or else very long in true sailor fash
