PLANS To
STOP SCRAP

If a resolution which Council
man Funk introduced last night is
adopted it will mean a discon-
tinuance of the constant fight in
the council chambers over confirm
alton of assessment rolls. The
resolution is that property owners
be served with 10 day notice
of contemplated improvements
and that plans are to be seen in
the city engineers office.
This will give taxpayers oppor-
tunity to criticize the plans and
charges could be made to accom-
modate minor features. The re-
suit would be that when the mat
ter came finally before the coun-
Gil it would be passed without the
long drawn out fights such as oc-
cur now at almost every meeting.
The matter was referred to the
board of works. which will make
a report on it.

COUNTY BOARD
REFORMATION
COMING

An end to the soft foot methods
of the one-man board of county
commissioners is in sight. There
will be open doors for the public
at all county transactions and pub
licity of every detail of the affairs
of the county will be invited. Every
item purchased for the county will
be bought from the party Offering
to supply it at the lowest figure.
All public matters will be at
tended to at the time and place
fixed by law for that purpose and
in a manner above board open to
the public and without secrecy. All
these things will receive the strict
est attention by the present nomi-
nees on the republican ticket, if
elected, according to the state
ments made by them today to the
Press. Mr.. McBroom made the fol-
lowing statement:
"If elected, propose to give the
people of this county as cheap an
administration as possible and at
the same time render them good
and valuable service If there is
truth in the matters of current re-
ports then there is room for end
less Improvement over the present
county administration. I favor the

Mr.. Phillips, in stating his course
if elected, said that he favOrs a
thorough economical admjpistra
ton, demanding that all SUI kies
be furnished on bids and the bust
ness given to the lowest bidder
He disapproves of doing the county
business behind a veil of mystery
and if elected will insist upon lines
of the strictest general publicity

The Press was unable to reach

moment.

NEW PLUMBING
ORDINANCE
OFFERED

The new plumbing ordinance,
which was introduced into the city
council last night, promises to pro-
woke as hard fight in that body
as has any previous measure. 1t is
formidable document full Of
plumbing technicalities. Following
are the main provisions:
Before a permit shall be issued
to any individual or firm $4,000
bond must be given. A permit cost
ing 81 shall be taken out for each
separate piece of work of whatso-
ever nature. The plumber must de-
post with the city treasurer not
less than 500, which amount shall
be checked against as permits are
issued, in this way guaranteeing
to the city the collection of fees
without trouble. In the event the
fees amount to more than the sum
on deposit, the inspector shall not
issue further permits till another
500 has been deposited.
The bond which is to be required
is for the benefit of all persons
injured or damaged by any viola
ton or neglect to observe the ordi-
nances, and may be required by
the mayor to be renewed each
year or oftener in his Judgment.
Before beginning any work writ
ten application must be made to
the inspector. The application must
show the names of owners of the
property on which work is to be
done; location. block and house
numbers, the number and kind of
fixtures and draft of the work
on blanks to be furnished by the
inspector.
All fixtures must be installed as.
open plumbing and no work shall
be covered until inspected by the
inspector or deputy. Application
for inspection must be filed on
blanks furnished by the inspector
at least two days before inspection
is ordered.
For each rough inspection the
plumber shall be charged a fee of
81; for houses having more than
six fixtures, an inspection fee of so
cents for each over six will be
charged if the work is not ready
for jpcnpptiop whom thn iDcppptnr
comes around and an extra visit
has to be made, an extra fee will
be charged. For new work in
houses of six fixtures or less,
sewer and plumbing permit COM
bined will be issued for 81; a
sewer and roughing-in inspection
combined will cost 81, providing
both inspections can be made at
one time The fee for final inspec-
ton is set at 50 for six fixtures
or less and so cents per fixture
over six. All plumbing work must
be tested in the presence of the
inspector before it is accepted.
When this is impractical it may be
tested in sections.
There are 81 pages of technical
directions as to toilets, plumbing
of every description and how and
where to lay A penalty of fine
not less than $40 nor more than
500 is attached.

FEDERAL BUILDING
UNDER ROOF

The new government building is
under roof and the windows are be-
ing placed in the top floor. About
65 mechanics are employed inside,
and the general contractor, w. H.
Maxwell of Deadwood, S. D., hopes
to have the building completed by
the time specified in the contract,
April /, 1909.
Since the building has been I'M
der roof and a portion of the I'M
slightly tall board fences removed,
better idea of the beauty Of the
structure can be obtained. The
massive walls of Indiana Bedford
stone look very impressive in the
completeness of finish and white,
Clearly appearance.
Asked if it were true as reported
that the new government building
in Spokane would be too small for
the needs of the city before 1t is
completed. H. G. Richey, the super
vising architect in charge of the
work for the government, said he
failed to see how any one could
form this conclusion since the
building will afford much more
room for all the departments of
the government than they enjoy at
present.
The new federal building con-
tract calls for 100000, and the fin
ishing and furnishing will cost
100000 more. 1t was built largely
by outside labor.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. A.
Reports from Salonica and None
stir today convince the porte that
Bulgaria is fomenting disorders in
Macedonia to furnish excuse for
annexing that country to the Bull
garian independence. Bulgarian
officers are organizing bands in

Turkey is convinced that Gear
Ferdinand has delayed declaration
of war again, hoping Turkey will
take the initiative. If Turkey de-
clines it is considered certain that
Ferdinand will declare war soon.

BRUNO FIRE LOOKS
INCENDIARY

Fire which damaged the Bruno
block, corner of Front and Brown,
is believed to have been of incen-
diary origin. 1t broke out in the
basement among a lot of oakum,
rubbish and liquors at 1870 o'clock
this morning, and the department
was forced to heroic work to save
the property. The building, saloon,
restaurant and rooms upstairs of
the notorious resort were badly
damaged The building was erect
ed little more than a year ago at
a cost of $4,000. 1t will be repaired
at once. No clew to the incen-
diary has been learned. Damages
are estimated at $4,000.
