TELLS OF HIS TROUBLES

eral months, where it mad been buried
beneath numerous other documents a
document termed by the councilmen
as the Cow Ordinance" was brought
TO light last night at the council meet
ing and an attempt made to pass if
While most of the members of the
city laWmaklng force We're in favor of
Its passage, it was decided to defer
final action until after the judiciary
committee has had an opportunitv to
look 1t over The proposed ordinance
provides that no person shall be all
lowed to erect a stable or maintain a
corral in which domestic animals are
kept in the city limits within forty
feet of any dwelling or other building:
that no one shall be allowed to keep
in stable or corral more than one
COW or calf, and that all barns or sta
bles and corrals must be cleaned and
sanitated daily, and that all manure
must be removed from the streets and
alleys within forty-eignt hours after
being taken from the barns, stables or
corrale.
When the ordinance was read by the
clerk, Councilman Cox stated that ne
did not like the wording of the docu-
ment and thought it should go to the
judiciary committee for consideration,
as it needed some fixing before it was
finally passed.
Glasford stated that he wanted the
ordinance passed at once, as he believ-
ed the people residing in Walla Walla
should be protected in their efforts to
build up the city by erecting good sub
stantial residences. He said that he
could point to several portions of the
city where cows were kept in barns
and that the practice proved to be a
nuisance to the people residing in those
localities. He was of the opinion that
the council had a right to regulate the
matter, and if the city was to be turn
ed into a dairy it would retard the
progress of the town. He moved that
hte ordinance go to its third reading,
but failing to secure a second it was
referred to the judiciary committee.
Want Street Lights.
Petitions were presented asking for
street lights at the intersection of
Clinton and Washington, Twelfth and
Chestnut, and Lincoln and Park. They
We're referred to the street committee.
When the petitions were read Mayor
Hunt asked the Hoht committee what
progress was being made in placing
the numerous electric lights that had
been asked for by the citizens during
the past year. In answer to the may
or's query Councilman Bachtold,
chairman of the committee, stated that
very few of the lights had been put
mn by the electric light company. He
claimed that he had been urging the
company to supply the lights, but the
company's representatives failed to do

APPOINTMENT TO ANNAPOLIS

At 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon the
marking of the papers of the candi-
dates for appointment to Annapolis
was finished and it was announced

sary for him to take it again, but he
can enter the academy as soon as
Senator Ankeny makes his appoint
ment.

MACADAMIZED ROADS
AROUND CITY.

Representatives of Jail construction
companies began drifting into Walla
Walla today to be present at the ad-
journed meeting of the commissioners
tomorrow morning, when the contract
for the steel and cell work for Walla
Walla countys new j:il will be award
ed. Representatives of the Pauly Jail
company and Joliet concern arrived
in the city today and others are ex-
pected this evening or tomorrow.
With the exception of awarding the
contract for the cell work the commits
sioners are about ready to begin actual
construction work On the new building
The contract for erecting the building
and the heating plant have been
awarded, and deciding on bids sub
mitted for the cell work is the only
stumbling block that confronts the
commissioners. The bids were held
up a week ago through the failure of
the Joliet company, the lowest bidder,
to send a working model of their Jail
or a representative and the company
was given a week to submit samples.
A representative of the firm arrived
this morning.
Take Up Macadamized Roads.
The commissioners tomorrow will
probably take up and consider the
petitions filed by property owners ask
ing that nearly 10 miles of country
roads be macadamized. A big delega-
ton of business men and property
owners of the city is expected to be
present when the matter comes up and
urge that the commissioners favorably
consider the petitions.
