MEMBERS OF COUNCIL
City Fathers Decide to Purchase the
Capt. Thomas Tract for Septic

The city council Monday evening
passed an ordinance calling for the
borrowing of $4,000 and providing
for the interest and sinking fund
to handle the bonded Indebtedness
called for at the recent vote of the
people when the bonds carried by an
overwhelming majority.
1t is declared that talk of discrep-
ancies in the legal phases of the cleo

nances is entirely without founda-
ton. 1t is claimed that every legal
side of the question has been thor
Oughly investigated by the most COM
petent authority and there is no pos
sible chance of an error holding up
the work this year
Ordinances have also been pro-
vided for the cement curbs and gut
ters in the improvement district.
Among other important PROPOSE
tions at the meeting of Monday was
an acceptance of report by COM
mittee recommending the purchase of
the Thomas land near the river. The
report states the land will not be
used as park site but fer septic
tank and crematory purposes. Coun-
Gilman Meigs explained that at the
very least five acres are required to
furnish sufficient room for the con-
struction of septic tank. A plant
of adequate dimensions will require
three tanks, he explained. There are
some strings on the acceptance of
the committee report and a proviso
is made that he title must be clear
to the city: that a certain right-of-
way be given from Beech street to
the land and that Capt. Thomas fur
nish the papers necessary to straight

might be found in securing title

WASHINGTON, April 20.-With
the exception of Cooper and Nelson,
both Republicans, the house today by
strict party vote declare the action
of Speaker Cannon Saturday in
summarily adjourning the house was
not "a breach of privilege of the
house affecting its safety, dignity and
integrity of its proceedings. F"
The dictum was when the resolu-
ton by Williams holding such a
breach to have been committed was
tabled by vote of 146 to 119. The
vote was preceded by statements by
Williams and the speaker. After dis
claiming that as a result of the in
cident there would be a personal
breach between him and the speaker.
Williams maintained that the action
was an unprecedented parliamentary
act.
On the other hand Cannon called
attention to the dilatory tactics of
the minority leader for the past two
weeks and said it was the speakers
privilege and his duty to sweep aside
the aliatory demand and declare the
house adjourned.
ne Republicans put through An
amendment to the rules making any

ACCEPT SEWER
GILLIGAN & COMPANY'S
TROUBLES ARE AT END
Famous Contract Which Stood for
Loss of Much Money Completed
and Work Is Accepted.

The sewer work of John Gilligan
& Company as carried out by cou-
tractor Darlington has at last been
accepted by the city council after
over two years have been expended
and after the contractors have gone
far beyond the returns in complet-
ing the contract
The last warrant, minus the
amount of the celebrated Carey
Judgment, will be paid in a few days
and Darlington Will leave North
Yakima. This town has proven itself
to be more than little trouble to
him.
The little stretch in the vicinity of
the outlet which was uncompleted
and which held up final acceptance
of the sewer caused a large amount
of discussion but the councilmen
finally decided there is no telling just
what whims will be taken by the
Yakima river The present channel
is SOC feet from the bed as it was a
year ago and consequently it is be-
lieved the completion of the work
will not be necessary as the river
is now at the outlet of the sewer.
The contract has proven to be the
most expensive for the man taking
it of any contract ever given by this
city and the Gillgan company stands
to lose considerable money.
