IN THE COUNCIL TONIGHT
Several Important Matters Likely
to Come Up.
THE LUCKY BOY FRACTION
Sewer System Cannot Be Completec
With This Portion Left Out-Appoint-
ments to b Made-The Charges
Against Oficer Peters.

Unless the circus breaks up the
council meeting booked for tonight.
which the circus has succeeded In do
ing sometimes. there is a good deal OF
important business to come up. Among
the things which the council will have
to wrestle with IL the Lucky Boy frac-
ton, which blocks jackson street and
is preventing the sewer from being put
through hat street. This demands m
mediate attention. for the sewer sys-
tern cannot be completed with this por-
ton left out. The locators still hold
the fort and are lucky bops up to the
present time. The city engineers ONCE
yesterday prepared a plat OF the Lucky
Boy fraction and gave it to City Attor-
ney De Wolfe, who has been asked by
the mayor to prepare q written opin-
ion in regard to this matter and SUBJ
init IT to the council at to-night's meet
ing. The plat shows the Lucky Boy
fraction to have been located July 2.
1895, by Peter r.. Keller and Erick G.
Larson. 1t has a width of 80 feet on
Jackson street. Officials and people
living in the vicinity are confident that
the location cannot hold, inasmuch as
they say no lead can be shown and
lt@It u . I' IL ,taI
fire clay location has been made. 1t is
thought that the land can, In some
way, be condemned. Whatever is done
will have to be done quickly, for the
are required to complete
the sewer in "A certain length of time
and they are likely to hold the city re-
sponsible for any delay caused by fall
ure to obtain right of way.
Bids for curbing will be opened by the
council this evening. and if a sa~tisfac-
tory bid is received the contract VIII be
let at once. 1t is important that there
be no further delay in the letting OF the
curbing contract, for IL the curbing is
not started very soon the paving viii
be delayed, as the curbing must be done
ahead of the paving. The council has
had trouble in getting a reasonable bid.
Several copies of the bids have been
called for by contractors, but when bids
for curbing were called for before halr
a dozen copies were taken out by vari-
Gus contractors, but only n bid was
received. There may be similar condi-
tions of things tonight.
Objections will be heard tonight to
the proposed macademizing of East
Park street from Arizona to Gaylord
streets. and to the proposed filling in OF
Missoula gulch, or Columbia street.
These improvements were decided on
by the council several weeks ago, sub
ject to the approval of the property
owners. 1t is likely that the Park
street improvement will go through in
some form, but the Missoula gulch
proposition Is likely to encounter oppo-
sition on account of the heavy ex-
pense. 80.
There are several appointments still
to be made by the mayor. and 1t is
possible hat these may be made to-
night, although the mayor has not so
stated. The officers still to be appoint
ed are the sanitary inspector, street
commissioner, assistant street commits
sioner, two assistant city clerks, assist
ant city engineer and janitor.
HI report of the police committee
generating officer PetSrs from the
charges preferred against him will be
acted on in the council tonight. The
mayor has expressed himself as not
| agreeing with the report and has stated
fatty tina he believes officer Peters
was not justified in his conduct, but he
said yesterday that the matter will rest
entirely with the aldermen and he will
make no opposition to the report.
