Six republicans to four democrats
makes it doubtful whether the veto
of former Mayor Boyd on the steal
of the Northwest boulevard will be
made by the Washington Water
Power company.
In order to pass the ordinance
granting the right to the water power
company to grab the only driveway
left in the city 1t will be necessary
to secure one democratic vote.
1t means that the Washington
Water Power company is defeated
unless one of the men elected on the
anti-corporation ticket gives way UNI
der the pressure brought by the big
corporation.
In the new council the following
petition signed by 40 property owners
was presented this morning to sus-
tain the veto:

ITO the Honorable City Council:
Gentlemen-We, the undersigned,
residents of the city of Spokane,
hereby respectfully represent that
the Northwest boulevard ought to be
sacred as a driveway.
THAT the same is the regular route
for funerals and that no street car
line should be permitted upon the
same. there being plenty of streets,
which can be very properly used by
any electric railways desiring to
build in that direction.
We therefore respectfully petition
your honorable body to sustain the
mayors veto upon the franchise
granted on May 8 upon said boule-
vard.'
The petition and the question of
sustaining the veto of the mayor was
referred to a meeting of the commit
tee of the whole.

WASHINGTON, May 12.-Except-
ing those absent from this city.
Secretaries Hay and Wilson, every
member of the cabinet attended the
meeting at the White House this
morning. After receiving the con-
CALCULATIONS of his advisers on the
success of his western trip, the presi-
dent entered at once with them into
a discussion of various matters of
public business accumulated during
his absence
An opinion was handed down by
Attorney General Moody to the ef-
feet that the eight hour law does
not apply to work on the Panama
canal. The ruling is very gratifying
to the president as the eight hour
day seriously hampered the work OF
construction.

CHICAGO, May 12.-With seven
deaths and scores of people injured
the teamsters' strike today enters
upon the sixth week of what has
been one of the most violent and
stubbornly contested struggles in
Chicago's labor history. Apparently
the strike has settled into an "en-
durance contest" as both employers
and labor leaders declare the duration
of the controversy will depend upon
the staying qualities of the other
side.
The employers are jubilant over
the display of the presidents big
stick" which they feel certain will
have a salutary effect in curbing vio-
lence, and are proceeding with the
delivery of their goods with non
union drivers on a more extensive
scale.

NEW YORK, May 12.-Nan Patter-

means she will probably never be
brought to train again.
She was taken before Recorder
Golf shortly after IL O'Clock, where
District Attorney Jerome made the
motion on which she was set free.
She was accompanied by her counsel,
Abe Levy and Daniel O'Reilly, and
her father. AS soon as she heard
the words which set her free Nan
started for Levy's office. Tomorrow
she will start for Washington to see
her mother.
In making the motion Jerome said
he felt his assistants had done their
duty and acted efficiently. He would
have presented the case in the same
way and there was no recognized flu
tility in the efforts to convict the
girl. He said he had information
which permitted of no doubt that

Viding him with a clerk--he to de-
vote his time to the service of the
city.
I'm this connection it is recon-
mended that some system of munich
pal collection of garbage be insti-
tuted. This can be done by contract
or otherwise, but the city should be
districted by the board of health,
thus enabling the garbage to be de-
livered at intervals to the crematory
so that it may be consumed at a
reasonable cost and the plant be kept
in operation
Police Force.
at is recommended that addition
be made to the police force in order
to give police protection to the resi-
dence districts. This can not be
done until the appropriations for the
next fiscal year, but it should receive
your consideration in time to in
clude in such appropriation.
Secretary to the Mayor.
II believe that the mayor, as chief
executive of the city, should devote
/ his time to the duties of the office.
In order that he may act intelligent
ly, it is necessary that he be in
formed in departmental matters and
the progress of work of various kinds
throughout the city. The office
should be open during usual business
hours for the convenience of the
public and the several departments.
l do not believe the time of your
mayor can be protitably spent in at
tending to minor details that can as
well be done by a clerk In order to
follow out these ideas. l respectfully
ask that you furnish the mayor with
secretary or clerk.
A Clean City.
"There will unquestionably be
| many visitors to our city during the
present summer, and it is the duty
of the proper departments, and the
| citizens generally, to cooperate in
getting our streets, alleys and pri-
! vate premises in a slightly and clean
condition. and keeping them so. Our
city is famed for its beauty and we
do not want our visitors to change
their minds while passing through.
Cooperation Of Departments.
Being personally acquainted with
each of you, l anticipate a business
like, harmonious administration. You
will have your ideas and l will have
! mine, but if we meet In fair spirit.
we can evolve the best thing to be
done, and then 1t will be the duty of
us all, including each department of
the city government. to carry out
to the letter and the spirit what is
finally decided upon. l urge each of
you to give me the benefit of your
advice and suggestions upon any mat
| ters that occur to you to be of in
terest and shall avail myself of
frequent consultations with your
honorable body to the end that this
administration will be a success, and
all our efforts be toward making this

obvious TO the fact that certain
ceremonials were pushing along in
his direction.
Former Mayor Boyd happened to
notice the new mayor just in time
to get him out of the room as Coun-
Gilman Baldwin suggested that the
mayors message be read.
Mr.. Daggett scurried out amid
laughter and cheers while the coun-
Gilman was moving that committee
be named to go after the mayor and
escort him inside.
Mayor Daggett didn't run very fast
so that the committee captured him
out in the committee room and
brought him in to read the following
message:
"Mr. President and Members Of
the City Council:
This occasion Is fraught with
great responsibilities to your honor
| able body. to myself and to each and
every official in this administration.
While any administration has great
responsibility in financing and con-
trolling the destiny of this city for
two years--we have the added re-
| sponsibility due to our rapid growth
| and the installation Of the extension
to our water system.
Our City's Growth.
1T is reasonable to suppose that
! our city will eclipse during the next
| two years the remarkable growth 1t
has experienced the past few years.
This will mean more street improve
| ments, more water extensions in
crease in departmental expenditures,
additions to and identifying our
parks
improvements should keep pace
with the demands, but care must be
exercised in a careful study OF the
| financial resources before ordering
any extraordinary expenditure.
Extension Of water System.
you are urged to proceed without
delay in devising the financial plan
| for the purchase of supplies, and
proceeding with the work of extend
ing our water system in accord with
the plans approved by Mr.. Tanning.
These plans should be strictly adj
hered to. Mr.. Tanning stated that
by laying the 30-inch main to con-
meet with the distributing system,
immediate relief would be obtained
without waiting for the installation
of the new pumps and the construc-
| ton of the reservoir. This, also,
| ought to bring a reduction in the
excessive insurance rates now de-
manded.
II recommend the passage of an
ordinance creating fund upon which
warrants may be drawn for this ex-
penditure-such fund to receive the
proceeds Of the sale OF the water
bonds voted at the recent election
This will obviate the necessity of
waiting several months for the COM
pletion on the sale of these bonds
which of necessity mus, take con-
siderable time BY adopting this OF
a similar plan, the board of public
works can at once he authorized to
purchase the pipe and supplies neces-
sary TO proceed with laying this
main.
"Of course, this does not contem-
plate any delay in proceeding with
the entire plan outlined. but will
| afford relief M an early date
