.erreading and adoption Of minutes,


AAttsser reading and adoption of minutes,
a petition was read from A. NJ. Williams
& Co., asking privilege to close alley
temporarily in block 5, Bigelow's addi-
ton; also for the use of part of the
street in front of lots L, 2 and 8, block 5,
for storage of building material. Peti-
tion granted, without argument.
The committee on the Bonn Hunting
ton alley requested further time;
granted.
Councilman Nolan called attention to
the construction of a bawdy house be-
tween the blacksmith shop and the
freight depot, and believed the council
should take some steps leading to ite
suppression for immoral purposes. On
this matter nearly all the councilmenl
expressed some opinion. Saltmarshe
thought the council could not discrimin-
ate against one house in favor of the
rest. Thompson believed it was a mat
ter for the marshal to look after, and did
not want the council to be placed on rec
ord as countenancing an unlawful thing.
Ross thought the existence of the house
In question would necessitate the en-
ploy of another night watch. The sem
timent, however, seemed universal that
the house should not exist, even the
mayor giving voice to such a sentiment.
The present law forbids the existence of
houses of i'll fame in Dalles City, punish
able by fines, which are regularly i'm
posed, and his honor said that in case
of the new one he thought the recorder
would fine its inmates often enough to
make the business Improbable, and
that the marshal would also do his duty
in the premises. The subject was left
IN that shape. that is, an unwritten un-
derstanding that the marshal and re-
corder are to be supported by the coun-
Gil in any steps they may undertake to
suppress the house by persistent arrests
and fines.
The reports of the recorder, treasurer
and marshal were then read, accepted
and placed on file. Grove asked what
amount is now on hand capable of being
drawn upon, and was informed by the
recorder that there is now in the treas
ury $S6O9.45.
DR.. Snedaker's letter was taken up
from the table, and a motion made that
the recorder draw warrant for So, ard
forward it.
A motion was then made that the lot
ordinance be placed on its final passage.
1t was read and recites the numbers of
all city lots, with prices fixed upon same
to be sold at public auction from week
to week. 1t is lengthy and exhaust
i've report and must have cost
the committee considerable time and
labor. Purchasers are to pay one
quarter down, with notes for the balance
in one, two and three years time.
