There will be hot time at the
council meeting next Monday night
The fuss last Wednesday will look
in comparison, like a chafng dish
flame in the presence of an eruption
of Mt. Vesuvius, unless all present
signs fail.
Councilman Glasford will have to
answer some pretty embarrassing
questions which will be put to him
by some of his colleagues.
Why did Councilman Glasford and
Councilman Dunham call at the
Evening Bunc' office Thursday after
noon with a copy Of specifications
taken from the city surveyors office
and state that the concrete base of
paving on Main and Alder streets was
shown in those specifications to be
1875 instead of 1-4-7?
Why did Councilman Glasford keep
the specifications all day Friday?
Made Conflicting Statements.
Why did Councilman Glasford tell
the city surveyor over the phone early
in the afternoon that he would re-
turn the specifications in an hour but
that he had allowed them to be taken
by a friend and could not get them
back Immediately when he told fell
low councilman and an attorney a
few moments later that he had re-
turned the specifications and told a
newspaper man an hour later that he
had returned the specifications to the
city surveyors Office in the morning?

The penitentiary commission appoint
ed by Governor Mead to inquire into
the conditions at the Walla Walla pri-
son has forwarded a preliminary re-
port to Olympia. The complete report
will follow later.
No direct criticism of the past ad-
ministrations at the penitentiary is
made in the first report. The ques-
ton of punishment is referred to in
a general way as are the questions
of health and sanitation, for which no
one is held responsible.
The report first recommends the Gre
alton of an advisory board of visit
ors to serve without pay and then re-
commends the establishment on the
west side of the state Of an interme-
diate prison for youthful offenders
who may thus be separated from the
older convicts.
Considerable space is devoted to the
revolving fund with suggestions as to
how to handle the finances so as to
create real revolving fund through
appropriating a sufficient amount for
the jute mill that will be rendered ac-
cessible to the board of control. The
recommendations made are summar-
lied thusly.

The plans and specifications provid-
ing for a 1875 base only were ap-
proved by the council at the last
meeting by a four to three vote. AL
though the mayor som .times signs the
specifications he does not have to do
so and has no power to veto them.
If Mayor Kellough wished to show
his disapproval Of the act Of the btu
lithic quartette in sidetracking the
proposal to accept bids on both kinds
of base and railroading through the
specifications providing for a 1876
base only, he could not do so until the
ordinances levying the tax and au-
thorizing the contract came up to
him.
Under the ordinary mode Of proceed
ure for local improvement districts
this would not occur for a month or
more and in the meantime bids would
be advertised" for received by the
council, assessments filed and the roll
advertised by the city clerk before the
matter would come before the mayor
