RECORD OF THE WEEK

Mrs. Julia A. Moore was over
from Moscow ThurSday to appear
before the city couticil to object to
the building of the sidewalk along
the Moore property in the east end
of town. This is the walk over
which so much discussion has been
aroused, the ordinance providing
for its construction having been
once vetoed by the Mayor, Mrs.
Moore contendedN that it vas unjust
to ask her to built 500 feet of walk,
stating that only one family would
receive benefit, and That the walk
would butt up against private prop
erty, the street not extending be-
yond her tract on the hillside. Her
objections were entered in the min
utes, and will be considered at the
next meeting, when the second or
dinance providing for the walk will
be up for final action.
VI. F. Eccles, of Dayton, was a
visitor in the city during the week.
Mr.. Eccles has purchased some res
idence lots on Mechanics hill, and

acres of land near Washtucna which
he wishes to exchange for property
near this city.
The work done by the city on
West Main and Wawawai streets is

mud. s.ear4
