Council Proceedings,

The common council met in regular
session Monday night with Acting May
or J. f.. Rand in the chair. Those pres
ent were: Mayor Rand; Conncilmen
Bailey, Mcdonald, Mayes, Prather; Re-
corder Nickelsen and Marshal Fraley.
Mayes from the committee on streets
and public property reported the, condi.
tiOn of the streets to be perhaps the worst
in the history of the city, but could sug-
gest no remedy until the weather be-
comes more propitious.
Bailey, of the health committee, re-
ported an inspection of the city this
week and that he found the sanitary
condition of the municipality much like
that of Havana, Cuba, at the time of
American occupation. He seemed to
think we had too many Queen Anne
fronts with Mary Anne back yards for
continuous felictous state OF health
in the city, that unless we accomplish a
renovation in certain quarters we are
liable to come up against everything
from measles to buboniC plague during
the heated term approaching. Like
his distinguished comrade from the
street committee, he could see no relief
until after the effects of the vernal equi-
nox has worn off of the weather de-
partment and Observer Beals begins to
dispense sunshine instead Of rain.
Ordinance so, regulating the salary
ot the city marshal passed second read
ing and was unanimously adopted.
Ordinance 81, presented by Council
man Mcdonald, regulating the closing of
business houses on Sunday, passed first
reading and was referred to the Judi.
ciaary committee.
The following bills were presented
and on motion of Prather were allowed:
Wesley Case, labor r................$7 so
Mount Hood Leo, lumber ....... 3 72

expired term of Ex-Mayor Coon.
