City Council Holds Session.

The council met Thursday with al
the members present. The recorder
was ordered to have printed the bond'
as provided for in the ordinance tC
raise funds for the construction ol
sewers on Second and Seventh str cts.
Chairman Fetsoh Of the sewer com
mittee, reported that the route for the
Seventh street sewer was decided Oh
bat that for the Second street sewer
was yet under consideration. The
route was agreed On so far as on
Second and on Pine streets, but Pine
not quite reaching the river, the
sewer route from that street TO the
outlet was question Of two routes.
ne was by the present survey by a
street below the Electric station and
the other was direct to the river
through private property. This route
would save 300 feet Of sewer pipe and
be cheaper, but the right Of way had
to be secured of private parties. As
these lands owners wished street at
that point, Attorney Hough thought
it best to locate a street and that
would then give the right -of-way for
the sewer. The matter was referred
back to the sewer committee to ar.
range for the sewer right of way and
to report at the adjourned meeting
of the council Monday.
A petition signed by Joseph Moss,
Colonel johnson and others for a
lateral sewer OH West Il street was

light committee WAS Ordeed to see
that the lights were installed.
A petition from the Salvation Army
that they be allowed to hold meet
ings in the streets caused lively dis
cussior as to whether they really Oh
structed the stIees and sidewalks.
Mayor Good oontended that the Sal
walton Army caused crowds to congre-
gate aud obstruct the sidewlks.
Councilmen Hair aud Hall thought
the salvationists had right TO the
street, in view Of the great good they
accomplished in liolping the poor, ard
that there was as much Of "A crowd IN
front of certain saloons when the
Salvation Army was not present as
when present, AID that IL the Saliva
