mite understanding could be secured
Mr.. Turner further stated that he he
heved the best way to settle the con.
trovefsy was for the council to accent
the work and compel Mr.. Barber to
enter into an agreement to make ROOD

be defective in the spring. Mr.. Tur.
ner went on to say that he believed
mat the city had been negligent in al
lowing the contractor to put in 5000
feet OF the curbing without first hav-
ing inspected the work. and that the
protests made by the property owners
was an indication that in the future
contractors would have to- do their
work according to contract II they ex-
pected to get their pay Mayor Hunt
agreed with Mr.. Turner and said that
as this was the first work of this kind
done by the city. the omcials should
not be blamed tod. much for not look
ing after the matter He was in favor
OF holding the. contractors down to
specifications in All work performed

all city work be done right up to the
plans. RS 2 ,.etr.

.,ucu MoDiFiEs ORDINANCE
,e,a1,Ne TO ERECTION OF
AMUSEMENT BUILDINGS.
Faction of Stables Occupied Atten.
,;o, Of City Lawmakers at Last
Nights Session.

The city council had busy, session
Inc, nieht and when it adjourned a
large amour: of business had been
contacted. The most important mat
.ar that came up for consideration was
ara ,heater ordinance For long time
,,o architects and the people who
have money to invest in an opera
,orea have contended that the pro-
visions of the ordinance regulating
.,e erection Of theater buildings in
ya,la Walla were such that 1t made
J., almost impossible fot the construc-
,;on Of a suitable place for such pur-
,osas without the expenditure of such
sum of money that the investment
would not justify. Monday E. M.
Houghton. an architect representing
tho North Pacific Theatrical associa-
ton. came to Walla Walla, and after
consultation with several members
NJ the council. induced them to have
prepared an ordinance modifying the
theater ordinance This was done and
las, night the council passed the new
ordinance. This makes it possible now
for the erection of a theater building,
which it is expected will follow at no
Gs,an, day.
Discussion Over Barns.
The controversy over the erection
and maintaining OF barns in Wally
Walla received considerable attention
at the meeting. The first case called
was the application of Ward Emigh
for a permit to erect a stable on his
property near the creamery. He was
represented by r. P. Gose, who adj
dressed the council at length in an
effort to secure a favorable answer to
his clients request. George Rolf, who
owns the adjoining property, entered
vigorous protest and claimed that if
the barn was erected 1t would be det-
rimenta to him '-.-''
John H. Pedigo, representing r. J..
Bergman, presented his clients side
Of the case in a request for the per-
mission to use a building erected for
stsbe purposes. Bergman had erect
ed a building, but the building inspect
or had refused to sahow~hin1 to .ise. n
for that purpose. J. Scott was the
main objector. Both these matters
final action. ...
Paiouse Street Again.
The Improvement of Palouse street
came in for its share Of the councils
attention and as a result the matter
was finally settled. 1t was decided
that the contractor, George H. Barber,
is to receive his pay for the work done
On the curbing. and in the spring if the
Urbing shows that it does not COM
~ with the specifications, he will re-
build it,
communication was received from
harry H. Turner, John 1. Yeend and
frances A. Garrecht in which they
Sl'hdrew their protest against the
