COUNCIL R[j[(T} RFP0RT{ Of IT'S
OWN AND QT|z[h5 COMMITTEE

The report of the subcommittee of
city fathers appointed to investigate
the Division street subway matter
was handed to the city council at
last nights meeting. This commit
tee and the railroad officials of the
Northern Pacific met on July and
the committee recommended the per-
manent closing of Browne street, re-
grading of Sprague and Division
streets and the contributing of $685.
600 by the city toward the work.
This report was turned down by the
city council last night.
Following the defeat of the sub
committees report, Councilman Pratt
introduced a motion calling on the
president of the council to appoint a
safety committee with power to plan
legislation for the regulation of the
speed of trains through the city, to
provide gates and watchmen on all
crossings and to consider the propo-
sition of the Sprague avenue and
Division street subway. This reso-
luton was adopted. President koontz
then appointed Councilmen Pratt,

or its predecessor.
There has been much talk, however,
about manipulation Of the delinquent
tax certificates and the investment
therein by deputies under administra-
lions in the past. In some cases de-
linquent tax certificates have been
bounced upon just as soon as delin-
quency were legally noted. 1t is a
fact that under the last administra-
ton a man with large holdings Of
real estate in this and other places
got on the delinquent list as to one
or two of his pieces Of property Of
good value at the present and of
greater value in prospect through the
error of clerks in his Office. Money
was speedily furnished to pay up the
taxes, and thus 1t was saved from the
little remuneration which the present
law makes possible for the quick pur-
chaser Of such delinquent certificates.
1t is openly charged that one OF
the financial concerns of the city does
large business in such securities

Estep and Phillips and Corporation
Counsel Geraghty as members of the
committee.
The report of the citizens commit
tee, favoring the lowering of the
grade through the city was, on the
motion of Councilman Estep, placed
on file after much discussion. Owing
to no record being placed before the
council of the railroads request that
the matter be postponed until Au-
gust s, some of the councilmen and
the citizens committee favored con-
sidering the matter last night.
Councilman Gray then made a mo-
ton for the adoption of the report
of the citizens committee, calling for
the lowering of the grade through
the city and opposing the payment
of $4,000 by the city.
Mr.. Baldwin then stated that ne
did not think that the question of
considering that report was up ut
this time.
Councilman Estep stated that. In
his opinion, the issue before the coun-
ell was that of adopting or reject
ing the report of the subcommittee,
Councilman Pratt said: Il believe
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1905-07-19

the object of this meeting Is to de-
eide upon the postponing of the mat.
ter until August g."
I'm justice to the railroad com.
pany, 1 believe that matter should be
postponed until that date" said
Councilman Baines.
Councilman Gray then stated that
the railroad company had plenty Of
officials which 1t could have had be-
fore the meeting had the company
seen fit to send them.
Councilman Estep settled the mat
ter by stating that he was in favor
of playing fair with the railroad and
that nothing could be gained either
way by hurry, so moved that the re-
port of the citizens committee be
not adopted.
The motion was seconded by Coun-
Gilman Gray and carried Immediately.
The report was then placed on file
on Mr.. Esteps motion.

recommending that the board Of pub

HEALTH OFFICE IS after
THE PINE CREEK DAIRY

Health { Ger Genoway has start
ed In on vigorous campaign against
diaries Of the city which are not COM
plying with the state law in the mat
ter of labelling products offered for
sale by them.
AS a result of the investigations
the fact has been brought to light
that the Pine Creek Dairy company
of this city has been for some time
violating that law, and the health Of
flee is now taking steps to have that
company brought to realization of
its error.
That company now offers for sale
a product supposed to be butter. but
the packages containing the alleged
butter bears no label to that effect.
On the package there is nothing to

The only labelling on the package is
as follows: Pine Creek Dairy" across
the top, while under that is: Pine
Creek Creamery Company, Spokane"
The state law requires that all such
products offered for sale to the public
shall have its contents labeled on it
in plain letters.
While it Is not directly charged by
the health office that the Pine Creek
Dairy company is not giving the pub
lie pure butter, yet the health Office
entertains a suspicion that the ar
ticle is not absolutely pure butter.

der the administration of ex-County
Treasurer Mudgett, who is now in
the directory as secretary of the in
stitution. General talk has 1t that
this is a source of income to the
thrifty deputy in the office who may
note the delinquency before it is pub
licly advertised.
The subject is one which rumor
says will be thoroughly searched by
the present grand jury with view to
finding out whether any have been in
jured by the practice. 1t is simply a
matter which has possibilities of evil,
and there may have been no specific
complaint lodged with the grand jury
at this time.
This afternoon the members of the
grand jury took possession of Judge
Huneke's courtroom, the Judge being
away on his vacation. The witness
summoned was Walter l.. McCallum,

day and this morning announced that
he was going to make the milk deal
ers toe the mark to the letter in re-
gard to keeping their dairies clean
and preserving the milk as far as
possible from germs.
Reports have been brought in to
the health office of late to the effect
that many of the dairies are not be-
in, pt as clean as they should be.
InEes tigations have resulted in many
warnings sent to the different deal
ers In some cases the dealers have
sought to evade the inspectors, hop

greater part of their time toward
saving the lower story. The building
was occupied on the ground floor by
the Pacific Bottling Works, of which
Mr.. Fancher is the manager. In the
upper story Of the building Mr.. Fan
cher lives with his family and some
other roomers.
The origin of the fire could not be
ascertain absolutely. For a time 1t
was thought that the flames caught
in the rear of the building, where
John Raper. ope of the tenants. has
a suite of housekeeping rooms. A
number of the neighbors, however,
stated that the flames were noticed
first in the forward part of the house.
