COUNCIL MET
LAST NIGHT
Two VACANCIES WERE FILLED
Mayor Nominated CayOu for Marshal
and Hickman Street Commits
siOner-BOth Confirmed.

All councilmen were present at the
regular meeting Monday night with
the exception of H. H. Schott. Routine
business was the order, and little
outside of it was accomplished. Con-
trary to the expectations of many,
there were no applications for street
railway franchises, and the subject
was not even brought up.
The February budget Of bills was
passed by the council without dis
senting vote; it was noted that it
contained the provision for 1925 as
the city attorneys salary. The
regular advertisement over this item
was not enjoyed, owing to the pres
sure of other business.
John Steiner applied for saloon
license to conduct place of business
on First street and Chestnut; the
application was granted.
Frank d. Cook was granted a sa-
loon license for lot 81, block 81, on
the conditions that the regulations OF
statute and ordinance be complied
with, Lane alone voting against
granting the license.
A petition for grading and curb
ing Reed street between West Yaki-
ma avenue and West Walnut street
was granted
A petition for an arc light at
North Fourth street and D streets
was laid over to await the street and
light committees report.
A light was ordered petitioned for
at the corner of North Second and +
streets, on motion of Councilman
Marsh. The petition was denied
on the ground that the need was no
greater there than at many other
points in the city.
Councilman Linbarger offered a
resolution calling for bids for twenty
or more street lights of different
candlepower, to be distributed
throughout the city. The motion
did not prevail.
A. M. Keener applied for the po-
sition of park tender. Councilmen
wanted to know where in blazes the
parks were; it was explained that
the park referred to was the North
ern Pacific's near the depot, which
the city is under contract to care for
and which it paid man $50 a month
last year to do. The matter was re-
ferred to the street and ditch COM
mittee.
The claim of the state for 10 pei
cent of the saloon licenses collected
by the city since the passage of the
state law was brought up and dis.
cussed. The city attorneys opinion
is that the state is able to collect
the claim. which amounts to about
$2,643.S0. Councilman Marsh
moved that a warrant be drawn in
favor of the state in payment of the
claim, with the provision that the
payment be made in installments:
Councilman Linbarger offered an
amendment that as a compromise ths
city tender the state $4,000 to sat
isfy the claim. This method of pro
The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1906-03-07

cedure was objected to, and the
original motion passed with the
amendment that the city attorney ne
gotiate with the state treasurer with
a view to getting the claim cut
down.
A petition for a transfer of J. A.
Piland's liquor license to F. A. Nal
lette was granted.
William Lee applied for permit
to dig a ditch to conduct waste water
from his place to the city ditch.
The matter was referred to the
ditch committee.
The scavenger's report for Feb
ruary, showing satisfactory condi-
ton, was received The sexton s
report showed seven burials and total
collections of $3.50. The mar
shals report showed that there
were 70 arrests in February, 100
meals served to prisoners, So days
work on the streets and $3.50 COL
lected in miscellaneous fines. The
report of the police justice showed
fines collected from prostitutes
amounting to 1910.
The city clerk was instructed to
advertise for sealed bids for furnish
ing street lights, to be placed in the
center Of the streets at intersections,
for as many lights as the city should
see fit to use. The bids are to be
opened at the next meeting of the
council.
Councilman Armbruster asked
that the condition of West Yakima
avenue from Rainier to Seattle ave-
nues be called to the attention of the
street commissioner. This official
was instructed to repair the street.
The council was instructed to
commence action at once to collect
delinquent assessments against prop
erty owners.
Attorney Forsythe reported the
acceptance of the sewer bonds by
Mcdonald, Mccoy & Co. of Chicago
and their notification that a draft
for the face of the bonds had been
forwarded.
Attorney Frank Luse, in behalf of
Pat Mullins, reported that Mr.. Null
Inns was ready to proceed with his
contract to build the sewer If he
be granted an extension of six
months time. Mr.. Mullins also
thought he should be allowed dam
ages in the sum of $1,000 for loss
caused by delay, and it was stated
that Mr.. Mullin was willing to accept
the awarded sum for damages in the
former of bonus of $40 a day for
every day less than six months that
is required to build the sewer, this
amount not to exceed $1,000.
Councilman Linbarger did not be-
lieve Mr.. Mullin had suffered thou
sand dollars loss: They'll have to
show me-" he declared. The loss
alleged is said to be due to wages
paid laborers hired to build the
sewer when he was notified that his
bid was accepted, and held until the
construction of the sewer was post
poned on account of failure to dis
pose of the bonds. The council by
a vote referred the matter to the
committee which had charge Of the
selling of the bonds-Marsh. Keck
and Schott-to be adjusted and re-
ported at the next council meeting.
Plans and specifications were
adopted for the improving by grad
ing of South Eighth street between
Yakima avenue and Spruce street,
and North Eighth street between
Yakima avenue and ID, and the con-
struction of a wooden sidewalk on
Eighth street between Yakima ave-
nue. and Walnut street.
The claim of e. ID. Leech against
the city in the sum of $500 was al
The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1906-03-07

lowed, and it was further decided
and a resolution to that effect ABORT
ed, that Mr.. Leech should be given a
position in the city service. The place
he desires is that of inspector of sew
ers. and the council indicated its
willingness to give him this position
on showing Of his competency. Mr..
Leech was seriously injured while
working on sewer construction on
the west side last September. The
settlement is a compromise of his
original claim for damages, which
was for $4,000, and was conditioned
upon his being given employment by
the city.
A resolution was adopted calling
for bids for wooden sidewalk on the
south side of Wenas avenue, between
West Yakima avenue and Spruce
streets.
In compliance with the request of
the county commissioners, an ordi-
nance was adopted vacating the alley
running north and south in block 30,
Yakima county being the owner of all
lots abutting upon the alley. This is
the block in which the new court
hous is being built, and in exchange
for the alley vacated the city is given
a right-of- twenty feet wide i'm
mediately in front of the new build
ing across the entire block for the
purpose of laying sewers, gas or wa
ter mains, etc.
An ordinance was adopted vacat-
ing that portion of west Pine street
between Reed avenue and Bedker's
ten-acre tracts. The matter of va
eating d street for two blocks at it's
western extremity was laid over.
A plat of Tahoma cemetery was
submitted, and on motion of Council
man Lane it was adopted. There
has never been plat of this burying
ground filed, and, technically, sales
of lots have been illegal. The adop-
tion of the plat will legalize the sales
made in the past, and will be guar
anty of title, as soon as the plat is
filed with the county auditor
Councilman Linbarger introduced
a resolution providing for the scrap
ing of Yakima avenue, cleaning the
street down to the rock foundation.
Others of the council thought the ex-
pense was not warranted in view of
the fact that the avenue will un-
doubleday be paved in the near fu-
ture-as soon, perhaps, as it could
be advantageously cleaned as sug-
gested by Mr.. Linbarger.
Mayor Reed offered the name of
P. Y. Hickman for street commits
sioner, and on motion of Councilman
Thompson the nomination was con-
firmed. The mayor then presented
the name of John Null for chief Of
police. Councilman Armbruster
moved that the nomination be not
confirmed, which motion was second
ed by Councilman Marsh, and the mo-
tion prevailed. The latter then ad-
vocated the appointment of Bert Ca
you, senior officer on the force. The
mayor conceded with the view that
Mr.. Cayou was entitled to the posi-
ton, and the nomination was unan-
imously confirmed. Various members
of the council expressed themselves
as favoring Mr.. Cayou i'm preference
to Mr.. Null only because of the form
er's longer service in the police de-
partment.

Club House Burned

The Nummy's Island club house,
located near Anglesea, was burned to
the ground last Thursday morning.
The bungalow building was just finish
ed a few weeks ago and the furniture
was only placed in the house last week.
The building cost about $500 and the
furniture 5000. The property was in
sured for $1,000. The origin of the fire
is a mystery and it is believed it was
set on fire. Judge Voorhees,, Mayor
Hilton and several Others were at the
club house Wednesday night and are
confident that no fire was left in the
stoves. Nummy's Island contains
about 400 acres and is owned by the
Mummy Island Association. Some
time ago signs were placed over the
tract prohibiting fishing and trespass-
ing. The principal owners of the club
house and grounds are State Comp
troller j. Willard Morgan, Postmaster
Robert l.. Barber, EX-Sheriff Henry S.
