regular meeting OF the new city council
was held Wednesday evening Mayor 3.
J.. Myers presiding. The mayor in his ad-
dress recommended that the city's current
expenses De paid in cash. and said thar he
would sign no Illegal warrants during his
term OF office. While being firmly Of the
opinion that the city should not repu9iate
rs legal Indebtedness. he thought that
warrant holders should be made 20 wait
Tor improved times. and that instead Of
paying them the available cash IL should
Dc used in paying tire necessary running
expenses Of the city. Mayor Myers Is not
satisfied with the returns from the cify's
electric light plant, and consequently he
has appointed q committee OF investiga-
tor, ~ho viii report the resources and
earnings OF the plant County Treasurer
Dorsey has filed a statement OF personal
taxes against the electric light works OF
over 500. which was the amount charged
against the plant az the time the city took
possession. After touching upon the vari-
OILS industries which have prospered in
this city during the past year. the mayor
referred in encouraging terms 70 the
steamboat proposition which he has been
advocating In the local papers. He pro-
poses that the citizens of Clallam county
shall build their own boat 20 ply between
the ports OF this county and Seattle. and
condemns the attitude OF the Straits
Steamboat Company towards Port An
geies. claiming that its charges are exor-
bitsnt and that visitors are prejudiced
against this city by the officers OF the
boat. a mass meeting viii be held Satur-
day al the opera house, in order that the
mayors proposition may be put in busl-
ness form
