That the franchise shall be for a

That gas furnished to consumers

In committee OF the whole last
night the city council considered
the dollar gas" ordinance and
unanimously reported it out of com.
mittee.
Before passing upon the ordin-
ance, several changes were made in
it. Councilman Snyder, in order to
insure the carrying out of the
terms of the franchise, proposed
that the company put up with the
city certified check for $4,000, for
feitable if its terms were not COM
piled with. No objection to this
provision was offered by Mr.. Kyle.
The franchise was also amended
to cut out acetylene fas. Why this
change was made is not apparent
for acetylene gas is both a better
gas than coal gas and Is more ex-
pensive. 1t has also passed the
stage when it is any longer con-
sidered unsafe.
The main features of the ordin-
ance, however, remain the same. 1t
provides that WORK shall be COM
menced within four months and
completed within Is months of the
acceptance of the franchise.

JUDGE TURNER'S PLAN

keeping the library up to date and
complete woulu necessarily require
some schedule of fees for using the
books. This point has not yet been
considered.
Spokane is now without any law
library. There are books in the
judges rooms at the courthouse,
and there are private libraries
which are answering the purposes
of consultation in small degree.
Steps have already been taken for
the formation of a library associa-
ton, but it is probable that the
offer of Judge Turner will solve
the problem which for a period of
years has veXed the members of
the bar.

came from. The police are anxious
to find the owner. His bond was
fixed at $500.

1t is but natural to expect that

Stevenson escaped death miracul-

Hanson's body was pushed from

seemed to be more hurt than the

death.
Hanson reused to give his name

drove away. He was unable to
