Improvement District is Planned by
the City Council to Include We

tas to SecOhd Street N.

One OF the most important improve
ments ever contemplated in this city
is now under consideration by the city
council which has directed City At
torney Bert J. Wilkins to draw up
a resolution preparatory to passing a
city ordinance creating an improvement
district embracing Weaatchee avenue

ceedings will be instituted aud the

forming with the gIade established
by the city. engineer.
The city engineer is now busy Oh

complete data the resolution " i'll be
drawn.
After the resolution is prepared
proreIty hol iers will be giFer an op-
portunity to protest against the impro-
vement and claim damages for injury

quite heavy it is estimated, as the
original grade on Wenatcnee avenue
was considerably lower on the east
side of the street than on the west
side. Recently a new grade has been
established, raising the east side and
lowering the west side. The principal
damage done will be to property on
the east side Of the street, as the new
grade will place thu level of number
of stores considerably below the side.

holders will be heard and the damages
estimatd. II it is found that the dam
ages are we'll within the resources of
the city the ordinance creating the
district will be drawn and the con.
tract for the new walks let at once.
The contract for the new walks
throughout the entire district will be
let and paid for by the city which will

Given a Shower Bath.

Last Friday the Great North
ern ran a special train thru from
Havre, Mont, carrying a new
turn table for this point and a
gang OF about a hundred and
fifty men, mostly boi)ermakers
accompanied it. The work of
setting the table and unloading
took about twenty Jour hours,
a comparatively short time for
such an undertaking and the
crew are to be congratulated on
the efficient work done. During
the time that the crew were in
stalling the new table, the Greek
wiper who ran the big engine
into che old turn table and de-
molished both turned up, but he
was not MahteC in that vicinity
very bad by either the round

inc shower bath and continued
till he promised to never show
up around there again.
