the improvement OF Franklin avenue
from Ninth to Twelfth street. Exchange
from Fourteenth TO Seventeenth and
Sixteenth from Commercial to Irving
avenue we're presented to the council
last night, The demonstrators object
ed TO the manner in which the sub
grades we're rolled. and as well TO the
quality and quantity Of rock used.
Councilman Burns, chairman Of the
street committee, said he agreed the
streets were not what they should be.
but he was unable TO see that the
property owneds In some cases knew
just exactly what they desired. He
said II was the duty OF the street SUI
perintendent or his assistant to see
that improvements were made accord
Ing to contract, and filed notice that
he was not mn overseer of improve
ments OF the kind. City Attorney
Smith explained that the contractors
had agreed to repair the defective
layers OF crushed rock, but the re-
monstrances were referred to the street
committee. BY removing the large
rock and placing more of the fine rock
the contractors will satisfy all con-
cerned.

from Fourteenth street to Seventeenth

ments Of this street heretofore made
were not properly made, with the re.
suit that the council was up against
rather a difficult proposition. Mr.
Burns presented resolution for post
Improvement, but 1t was voted down,
anly Messrs. Burns and Belland voting
for 1t. City Attorney Smith was un-
able to alter the resolution so as to

Council Puts Itself on Record as
Being Opposed to Purchase
ofFlavel Brick.
WORK WILL NOW BE STARTED
Temporary Headquarters TO BE
Established I'm A. o. U. w. Hall
- Fireworks Ordinance
Killed by Council.

The council last night put itself OF
record for a new city hall, When i
finally came to showdown Messrs
Nordstrom and Belland alone support
ed the effort to purchase the Flave
brick, the other seven members voting
for the new hall. Mr.. Nordstrom made
a stubborn fight, but was hopelessly in
the minority. He went down with
colors flying. however, and accom-
plished what he set out to accomplish
record of the vote of the members.
A petition signed by about so busi-
ness men and taxpayers was presented
by Mr.. Nordstrom urging purchase of
the Flavel building. and attached was
an exhibit which has heretofore ap-
peared in The Astorian. Mr.. Hansen
moved that the petition be filed, and
even Mr.. Nordstrom voted Affirmative
ly. Later on Mr.. Nordstrom introduced
an ordinance authorizing the public
property committee to buy the Flavel
brick for $4,000. Mr.. Hansen was
anxious for test of strength and ask
ed unanimous consent for suspension
of the rules. Mr.. Burns voted mega
lively. so the ordinance went over.
Before the session was concluded Mr.
Nordstrom again called up the ordi-
nance, and this time the request for
suspension of the rules was granted
Messrs. Nordstrom and Belland voted
"yes," and all the others mo" settling
the city hall proposition decisively.
To Go Ahead With Work.
The public property committee pre-
sented a report detailing what had
transpired since Architect Schacht had
been engaged. The report stated that
a rough draft of a structure to cost
$4,000 had been prepared and asked
that the council authorize the commit
tee to prepared the working plans and
proceed with construction of the hall.
Mr.. Belland wanted the matter laid
over until tonight's adjourned meet
ing. Mr.. Nordstrom thought the COM
mittee should come in with some in
formation calculated to give other
members of the council an idea of the
source from which the money would
come for the hall. He quoted Mayor
Surprenant as saying that $4,000 more
would build brick structure and that
he favored the additional expenditure.
Councilman Kaboth said he could
not detect the logic of Mr.. Nordstrom's
position. The gentleman from the
Third ward was anxious about the
city's financial condition, yet favored
spending $4,000 more than the commit
tee had determined to ask for the hall.
He thought Mr.. Nordstrom should by
this time know the sentiment of the
council, and expressed the belief that
delay would do no good. Mr.. Nord-
strom replied that he knew the senti-
ment of the council, but that he also
had some regard for the sentiment of
those citizens who had signed the pc
tition. On the report Of the committee
