NUISANCE IS ABATED

Twenty-one citizens residing
near lot 25, block 8, West River
side addition, who petitioned the
city council on August "a for the
abatement of a nuisance in the
form of a cesspool that overlooked
from lot 25 across five lots in the
neighborhood, have learned that
the only way to get a thing done is
to go after it.
On September 10 the city coun-
Gil referred the matter to the Gre
matory department, which made a
temporary sort of an arrangement
with the agent for the property by
substituting dry boxes in place of
the cesspool. The matter having
in the meantime come to the at
tention of the health department,

ADVOCATES A BRIDGE
COMMISSION

Paul O. Paulson of S527 Lincoln,
lumberman, rancher and mine op.
orator, today suggested what he
considers would be a good method
of solving the vexing bridge prob
lem. He would have the council
appoint a commission of citizens,
selected without the consideration
of political ties, to take entire
charge of the building of the
bridges and see that the city gets
value received for every dollar ex-
pended.
This commission would serve
without pay and by selecting men
of large means who have abund-
ance of leisure, the council could
get those who would give their
whole time to the work, Paulson
argues.

MAJORGARNERS
!. IN THE COIN

s Probably the busiest man In Spo
kane for some months has been
the city's vigilant guardian of pub
lie licenses, Major Gwydir. Since
the taking effect of the new city
license ordinance passed last April
the major has been ferreting out
certain lines of business and
amusement not taxed prior to the
adoption of the ordinance.
Among the things that have Ia
ken lot of the license inspector S
time are pool tables, which were
never taxed until the new ordi
nance was passed. Persons owning
pool tables now pay from SIS up
ward annually, according to the
number of tables in use. Seventy
concerns with pool tables had been
brought to time up to moor today
and the major thinks there are
from 10 to Is more as yet unbound.
Where the owners of the tables
have had knowledge of the passage
of the license on pool tables and
have failed to adjust the license
Major Gwydir is pretty severe and
does not mince words in telling the
offending party what he thinks of
him. In cases where the major
found pool tables in the possession
OF Italians or some other foreigners
not familiar with the English Ian
guage, he has been inclined to
make allowance because of "un-
avoidable ignorance"
The pool table collections have
run to $4,000 to date.
