MAYOR TO SIGN
NEW ORDINANCE
WILL CHANGE FIRE LIMITS
Ryrncs Saloon Matter Will Come up
for Consideration as to License
at Next Council Meeting.

Mayor Armbruster will today sign
the building ordinance and give it eff
feet. Members of the city council met
in special session Tuesday afternoon
to examine the minutes of the pre-
vious special meeting at which the
building ordinance was discussed and
amended in some particulars and to
see that everything was all right and
in proper form. Mayor Armbruster
was satisfied that everything it all
right and declared after the meeting
that the ordinance will be signed to-
day.
Attention was given by the council
men to the matter of the Byrnes sa-
loon license and the report that a girl
had been taken there and induced to
drink liquor until she became intoxi-
Gated There appeared to be consider
able doubt as to whether the report
would bear investigation. Mayor Arm
bruster had received telephone mes
sa re to the effect that the girl was
given liquor last night while the mes
sage received by Councilman Miller
was that the affair had taken place
Saturday night. In neither case would
the person Offering the information,
in both cases a woman, disclose her
identity. 1t was felt that there was a
danger that someone was making an
attempt to establish basis for a
blackmail and the councilmen decided
to take no action until some definite
knowledge was forthcoming. With re-
gard to the Byrnes saloon license,
however, it was decided to summon
Mrs. Byrnes to the next meeting of
the council to disclose any reason she
may have why the license of the Pal
ace bar should not be revoked on
the charge of selling liquor on Sunday.

County Commissioners to Call for
Bids for Constructions of Roads
Asked for by Public.

Two new roads are to come into
existence as a result of the meeting
of the county commissioners Tuesday.
One of these will be the North
Mckee road, which will run from the
Mckee valley along the river front to
connect with the Fourth street
bridge. and the other will be the Cow
iche Canyon road, which will open up
the canyon from the siphon. Bids
for both these pieces of work will be
asked for at once by the county. The
Mckee road was asked for by George
Kerr and others and will be a great
addition to the road facilities of the
immediate district near to North
Yakima. The Cowicne canyon road
has long been sought and will be a
great benefit to many, particularly
with reference to the railroad facil-
tiles.
Complaint from GrandvicW.
Grandview people have complained
to the county commissioners of the
lack of bridge over the Sunnyside
canal at their place. This is causing
much inconvenience. Their cemetery
is across the canal and the report that
they have been compelled to bury
three bodies near the canal until they
can make arrangements for interring
them in the cemetery. The difficulty
will at once be obvated, as Mr. Lum
has already started in on construction
of the bridge.
No purchase will be made by the
commissioners of the toll bridge at
Toppenish. The county engineer has
