Town Council Meets
Water and Light WrangIe and
Street Grade TangIe.

A motion to declare the contract
ordinance No. 40 null and void af
terward withdrawn is the upshot
of heated discussion between the
council and G A. Cochran, the
manager OF the City Water & Light
plant. The long delay in putting
in the plant. the unsatisfactory
service, the failure to reach agree
ment as to location of lights. The
difficulty that started thing going
was over the placing of the lights.
An arrangement had been made by
which the town was to have o arcs
a part to be paid for by subscription
OF the business men and the bal
ance by city funds. After a pro-
tracted discussion the question was
disposed of by directing the city at
torney to look into the matter and
prepare an opinion as to whether
the water company had violated
the contract ordinance No. 40 in
such manner that it could be abro-
gated by the council.
The council has gone on record
that there mn,t be REIMBURSEMENT
OF the street grade lines in several
places, especially on second street.
II had been partly arranged that
Spokane engineer should be secured
to do the work bnt O. l.. Hanson
thought this expense could be
saved. He was willing with the
help of Otto Hanson to establish
street grade, subject to the approval
of the council, and using the eleva-
tons on the profile already prepar-
ed by A. L. Smith.
The street grade proposition has
had long and devious histoty.
Over two years ago Otto Hanson
made survey and prepared a pro-
file but it was never recorded so it
was not binding and was not follow
ed to any great extent. About a
year later A. L. Smith was employ
cd and made a complete survey of
the whole town and it was accepted
and paid for by the council. 1t
left some property holders in bad
shape. Some were raised and
some were in the hole. There was
a vigorous roar at the time but tine
survey went Some walks were
lowe ed ana some raised aud there
was partial compliance with the
survey. Now the Council has
decided to change again and we
presume there will be more warlike
demonstrations.
Other routine matters were dis
posed of as follows: application of
E. D. Taylor and E. N. Cayce for
saloonlicenses were granted; bonds
of the police Judge. treasurer and
clerk were approved; the marshall
also instructed to file bond in the
amount of five hundred dollars.
The salary of E. D. Ellis, night
Waterman, was fxt at 500. A dog
license ordinance was introduced.
A part payment of $11o was au
thorized. Payment OF $41S to the
Empire Mfg. Co. for hose cart
and hose was also voted. Adjourn
ed to meet next Monday night at
TAO D. m.
