| II. and President Davis and Council
| man Crabtree began to fdget IN their
seats and ask themselves II they would
| reach the Oregon Short Line depot In
time to depart for San Francisco ut II 40
o'clock. Aside from the Mayors veto of
the $1,000 appropriation for the San

was transacted.

Manufacturers association that tho

ouainted excursion to Manti April 26, was

Passed Over the Veto.
Mayor Thompson's veto of the plumbing
| ordinance to allow two houses 'front.'
Ing on abutting property TO connect
| with the sewer by a single pipe. was
read. and after much discussion the
| ordinance was passed over the veto. The
vote was ten to four.

| he differed from the Mayor. He thought
the passage OF tho ordinance would re-
ducc the expense of connection with
connections at once, and thus help make
the city sanitary. and healthy. Ee

some respects right
Stoppage Of Sewers.
AS to the stoppagc OF sewers. Mr.. Black
up. and IL 1t did happen that one
was stopped It would be only short
house would open IT. He said he did not
| believe any one would object to the
| ordinance except the plumbers, and 1t
would save the people of the city thou
| Of
| bers OF citizens who owned two or more
houses in n row on the same street.
Favored by Fernstrom.
Mr Fernstrom was In favor Of the pas
| sage of the ordinance. 1t seemed to him
| to be q matter on one side of expense to
the owner and of profit to the plumber on
| the other. OF course II would be double
| expense to the house owner II he had
| houses, and that would, OF course. mean
| two profits for the plumber. He favored
| It's passage over the Mayors veto.
Mr.. Martin agreed with the Mayor, He
| thought there would be difficulty In fix
| ing responsibility II a sewer was owned
In common by two householders. One
| sewer for one house was his idea.
Contention Of Black.
Mr. Black pointed out that two houses
| on the same lot. one in the rear OF the
| other, were allowed to use the same soil
| pipe, and asked why the same could not
| be proper for two houses adjoining each
ure TO the benefit OF the small house
| owner and be an Incentive TO him TO con-
| meet with the sewer.
Pass that ordinance and give IL
| trial." said Mr.. Mulvey. IF 1t does not
work as would like II TO. why 1t will
be easy enough TO change 1t"
The usual motion being put. the ordi-
nance was passed by vote of 10 to
| against the veto.
