WOODLAND AFFAIRS

The Town Trustees Checkmate q
Movement OF Citizens.
Information comes from Woodland to
the effect that the Trustees of that vigor-
GUS young city do not propose to have the
local officials Investigated by the proposed
commission of citizens.
The Trustees are five in number. and
four of them represent one political party.
The subordinate officials are chiefly of
the party to which the majority belong.
and it is said the latter are not at all de-
sirOus Of having an investigation of these
officials acts made by experts who are
not of their own selection.
At their meeting last night they named
two persons to expert the city depart
ments, E. L. Huston and T.. Z. Glove.
and these men will do the work which Z
number of prominent citizens had deter
mined should be done by non-partisans
of their own choice.

tires. and Lieutenant stearns is

AS inti1nated in these columns yestef-
day there is likely to be still further re-
duction in the number of National Guard
companies. A dispatch to this effect was
reoeiyed from San Francisco late last
night, as follows:
.There is another surprise in store for
the National Guard. though it will prob
ABLY be a week before the bomb is
dropped. Within the next ten days
twelve more companies will be dis
banded. seven of which will probably
come from San Francisco. This rumor Is
causing much uneasiness in military
circles, for 1t is impossible at the present
time to tell just where the ak will fall.
The feeling among the National Guards
men is that it would be mistake to mus
ter out any more companies OF the home
guard, though this opinion will avail but
little when the Board OF Location get
down to work"

v-sTREET FRANCHISE.
Lawton called up the application of L..
T. Hatfield for 9 railroad franchise on V
street. He said he objected to the ordi-
nance as formerly offered, because it did
not properly protect the city and prop
erty-owners. An amended ordinance had
been prepared, compelling the company
to build from Third street to Thirty. first
when it once started. Several other
provisions were corrected. The rails on
curves must be laid at least seven feet
from the curbs under the new ordinance.
He thought the board should throw every
safeguard around franchises granted by it.
Devine spoke OF objections TO the fran
chise being granted for White and Com
mercial streets, as it might at some future
time shut out some competing line on the
river front if this company had the fran
Chise.
The City Surveyor brought in maps
for examination, but little information as
to room left could be gathered from them.
Devine moved that the extension to
White. X and Commercial streets be
stricken from the franchise.
Kent said that Thomas Hague owns
most of the property down there and
wished to develop it, but he seconded the
motion.
The bid, with the Objectionable portion
stricken out, was accepted. The ordi-
nance as amended was read and adopted
unanimously.
