Quite IA discussion arose over that por.
ton of the last bill charging for the wood
necessary to furnish power, but il was
finally allowed.
DIR. 5. S. Johnson, city health officer,
made quite a lengthy report and also
recommended the repeating of certain
ordinances, which were included in a
general ordinance he had drawn, wherein
matters were specified more fully. Owing
to the lateness of the hour the doctors
ordinance was not read, but will be
brought up next Monday.
Health officer Johnson strongly recon-
mendcd the building of pest house, the
extension of the sewerage system, and
other matters of public interest, all of
which are timely and necessary.
Judge r. S. Anderson appeared before
the council with all ordinance asking for
street railway franchise for b. +. Nor
ris. He stated that inasmuch as the
franchise ordinance No. 22I) granted
l.. ii. Libby for the same purpose year
and half ago would expire at midnight,
and that the grantee had not sought or
attempted to commence the work, he
though. the council would be acting
wisely If they would grant this franchise
to Mr.. Morris; only ninety days time
was asked to begin construction, whereas
Mr.. Libby's franchise allowed eighteen
months. In all other respects the speci-
fications in the franchise were identical
with the one granted Libby.
Mr. Morris was present and stated that
If the franchise was granted he meant to
fulfill his promise to commence construc-
tion within the allotted time. He further
said that he was not asking the city for
this franchise for the purpose of retard-
ing any improvements, but was in earn
est The ordinance passed to second
reading, and as 1t was the opinion of the
councilmen that it was an important
matter and should be looked into it ac-
cordingly went over until the adjourned
meeting
Ordinance No. 24S was read first and
second time and will be taken up at the
next meeting for final passage. II pro-
vidcs for the suppression Of houses of ILL
fame and prostitution, also for the pun
ishment of street walkers soliciting pros
titution on the streets after 10 p. m The
fine prescribed in either case Is not less
than IS nor more than $50 and costs of
prosecution. 1t is understood that if the
law goes into effect the demi monde will
be fined each month, as is done in other
cities.
A bicycle ordinance was introduced,
read first and second times, and left for
third reading at the adjourned meeting.
This ordinance will restrict all wheels
from being ridden ON the south side of
Main street from the courthouse to the
Snake river ferry; il also compels all
