The city cart is about filing up the
holes in the streets. The dirt is taken
from the bill on Fourth street, between
Charch and Toullne, TINS opening up
that thoroughfare, which Is a happy
idea. The next hill that might be cut
away to great advantage is the one on
Church street between Third and Fourth
streets. This system of filling mp holes
might be the proper one but we doubt.
We would ADVISE instead better grad
ing of the streets and better system OF
drainage, half the streets now have been
filed up until they are higher than the
sidewalks. and sooner or later the streets
will have TO be properly graded and
mnch of the dirt now being put upon
them removed. The work the past
week has been on PAVE street between

holes they fill up we trust will be those

what had been done with the shoes that
he got from Mr.. Clarke. He replied that
he has them safely laid away together
with pair of shoes that Crellin had on

Galioupe's Mills. The coroner didn't
care to discuss the case. He said heHput

him to have anything more to do with

hearing in the board Of mayor and al

nent citizens testified that much Of the
up-country trade that formerly came to
steam roads to Portland, and they sx-
pressed the belief that the building of the
electric limo to Bonny Eagle. 20 miles.
would bring back much OF this lost bust

attorney, appeared as remonstrants
but offered no testimony. Their position
rested, they said. on the decision of the

that public necessity does not demand

In executive session tonight. the mayor

hours the various phases of the question
and decided to grant the permit, subject
to certain restrictions In regard to the
time of building. the extent Of operating,
