and, unless compromise is effect
ed between Gill and his enemies, it
will be fought out through the COM
mittee and back into the regular
meeting.
The council divided last night over
the proposed steal of Hangman creek
bridge by the Washington Water
Power company. All day yesterday
agents of Mr.. Richards and Mr.. Hunt
ingtcn were busy lobbying with the
councilmen, but there were not
enough votes secured to effect the
steal.
Foxy Frank Graves was there
again to make trouble for the water
power monopoly, and succeeded in
sidetracking the bill giving the bridge
to the water power company.
N. S. Pratt put in an amendment
providing that the water power com
pany pay to the city $4,000 for the
use of the bridge and as recompense
for the extra work made necessary
through strengthening it for street
car service.
1t was shown that this agreement
at first made when the extra work
was ordered, but representatives of
the company in the council declared
the company had not agreed to it.
In the face of this brazen back
down Mr.. Graves succeeded in having
stricken out the section giving the
water power company the control of
the bridge and the right to charge
tolls for the use of it by other COM
panies. In place of this was sub
stituted a section providing for the
payment of one-half the expense by
any company using the bridge and
tracks with the water power COM
pany, the expense to be redivided pro-
portionately in the event other COM
panies also use the bridge.
1t is also provided that the board
or public works shall have control
of the bridge and tracks and have
the power to settle all disputes. The
question will come again tomorrow
night before the committee of the
whole.
