acted in his stead.
All kinds of city business came up,
though the debates of the evening
hinged on the improvement of We
natchee avenue.
Wanted to Burn Brush.
Charles Cummings asked permis-
sion of the council to burn brush in
the city limits. There seemed to be
no ordinance to keep him from burn
ing his trash, outside the city limits,
provided he was careful about it. So
they told him to go ahead and do it.
Zahren and the Sewers.
City Engineer Zahren, discussing
the question of sewer extensions on
Chelan avenue, reported favorably on
that project. The sewers will go in
on that thoroughfare.
Will Not Stop Work on Pipe.
Owing to the high water in the
Columbia, and to the fact that the
necessary pipe has not yet been Sc
cured, the water committee recon-
mended that work on the pumping
plant be temporarily suspended. AT
a special meeting of the water COM
mittee this morning, however, and
after a conference with the engineer
in charge of the installation of the
pump, it was considered best to go
on the with the work before the river
got any higher.
To Talk 1t Over With Plumbers.
Mr.. Case of the public health and
safety committee, recommended that
this committee meet the plumbers of
the city and discuss with them the
question of a plumbing ordinance.

fy absent members of this step.

The Sport of Kings" may be pull
ed off in the rubarbs, but not on the
rialto.
About WenatcEec Avenue.
There was much conversation
about Wenatchee avenue.
The city's main thoroughfare is in
a disgraceful condition. Everybody
is agreed that this is so. And they
all wish it put into good condition.
But when drastic measures are taken
which must be taken before the
avenue can be properly graded and
improved-and some abutting prop
erty owner is bumped" yell goes
up to high heaven. But the author
tiles are determined to establish q
proper level, and grade and improve
the city's main street, even if con-
demnation proceedings must be
brought to make certain abutting
property owners cough up.
'.23" For Kids.
The grim specter OF the law is af-
ter lettering youngsters.
Not for them is the midnight frolic
or the merry lark in the public for
um, after curfew's dreaded knell
has tolled An ordinance was read
last night, passing a lemon to iuven-
lie loafers. The measure will doubt
less become a Law soon. .

coma. the Pacific Pipe Co.. of Ballard
and the National Pipe Co. of Olym-
pia, all suh'sitted bids for supplying
the city with the pire necessary for
use in connection with the new Co
lumbia river jumping project. The

mittee for consideration.
No Banging" in Fire Limits.
The 4th will be busy day. The
police will have their hands full
and there'll be noise enough to salts
fy the most enthusiastic racket rails
er. But to reduce runaways to a
minimum and keep the reign of ter
ror within reasonable bounds the
council has decided that firecrackers
shall lnot be exploded within the fire
limits on the days of the celebration.
This applies also to six-shooters and
shot guns.
