COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.
More Street maeadamizing Planned For This
Fall-Other Work.

Eeu OtuSt WWN'
Council met in regular session Mon
day night with Councilmen Donald,
Hall, Weed, Reed and Shaw present.
The most important matter that came
up for consideration was the proposition
Of macadamizing First and Second
streets from Chestnut to A streets and
Front street from Chestnut to B. At
the previous meeting of council petit
ton was presented asking for the pay
ing OF First street for the space above
named and the city attorney was there
upon directed to draw up resolution to
that effect. The resolution was accord
ingly presented at the last meeting and
besides two petitions were in for improv-
ing the other two streets named. Coun-
Gil unanimously decided to make the inn
provements and resolutions to that effect
were accordingly passed. At the next
meeting of council petition will be pre-
sented to macadamize Second street from
A to E streets which will likely be taken
up and passed upon favorably. Council
expects some opposition to the paving
on Second street and possibly some will
be made to the improvements on Front
street, but if the majority of the prop
erty holders on those streets want the
work done council will go ahead this fall
with the plans OF making good streets
for the city.
An ordinance amending section of
ordinance No. 265, relative to licensing
peddlers, ETC., was passed. The old or.
dinance was to the effect that every ped
dler or hawker of goods should pay
license of $25 per day before he could
ply his trade. The amendment makes
this sum 500 per month, and exempts
all those who peddle papers, books, and
the products Of the Yakima valley.
An ordinance was passed licensing the
the bowling alley keepers at rs per
month.
c. f. Burlingame was present and
asked for an extension of % days in his
time for completing the matchmaking
of Yakima avenue. His time limit was
for August % and it will require an
other month to complete the work.
The street committee recommended
that Rainier avenue from Yakima ave-
nue. to A street be opened, which recon-
mendation was adopted. A number OF
new board walks were recommended by
the committee and passed upon favor
ably.
The matter of numbering the houses
of the city, in accordance with resolu-
ton recently passed by council for the
purpose OF securing free delivery OF mail,
was taken up and discussed. The COM
mittee on the subject said that many of
the people had refused to put up new
numbers, as they had at one time put up
numbers, but as the numbering was
wrong it does not answer for the present
purposes. Council decided to enforce
the matter of numbering the residences
OF the city.
w. Holden was before council with a |
verbal petition questioning the eligibil-
ity of Ernest Hamilton to hold the Office |
of street commissioner. He claims that |
Mr.. Hamilton does not live in the city |
and is therefore not eligible to hold Of
flee in the municipality. The city attor-
ney was instructed to look up the law on
the matter and report at the next meet
ing. 1t has since transpired that Ham
ilton is resident of the city.
