Deferred Action on Grandview.
Owing to the fact that the engin-
eering department of the city has
not fully completed the estimate for
the cost of the Grandview improve
ment, the matter of protests was de-
ferred for one more week.
Accepted Sewer Roll.
After three weeks discussion of
the sewer assessment, the roll was
adopted last night by the council.
Owners of IT'S feet frontage on Mis-
sion street presented written pro-
test last night against the method
of making the assessment. In max
ing this assessment the engineer and
street committee fixed the assess
ment based half on the area and half
on the assessed value of the prop
erty abutting. This makes the own
ers of business property pay high
er assessment than that of residence
property, consequently the protest
of some Of the Mission street owners.
The council, however, believes that
the method of assessment is equit-
able and passed the roll.
Denied Remodeling Petition.
The Wenatchee Department Store
through E. J. Delaney, at the last
meeting, asked for a permit for re-
modelling the front Of the buildings
owned by the Griggs Land company
and occupied by the Wenatchee De-
partment store. The petition pre-
sented was for glass front for all
of the buildings. The council re-
jected the application and Mr.. De-
laney will submit new plans at the
next meeting
Engineer Ward reported that, as
instructed by the council, he had
taken up the matter with Commits
sioner Pitcher regarding improve
ments on Miller street at the west
end of Poplar. Some minor improve
ments will be made at this place Dat
not as much as requested by some
of the residents. The county and
city jointly are making plans for
new improvement district there to
be submitted some time in the near
future.
Want 500 From the County.
Impro' ments to the amount of
about $500 have been made by the
city on roads leading into the coun-
try. A bill for this work was pre-
scented to the commissioners at the
las session and was O.K.'d by Coun-
ty Commissioner Pitcher. Auditor
Godfrey, however, refused to issue
the warrant for the same on the
grounds that the work was not done
under the instructions of the county
and he had no authority to pay.
Councilman Halbert and City Attor-
ney Crollard will take this matter up
with the county auditor.
The matter of the purchasing of
80 inches of Squiilchuck water will
probably be held up. The matter
came up last night on a report from
the committee and will come up for
general discussion at the next meet
ing.
The ordinance regulating hitching
along parking strips was given Sec
ond reading and it is likely will be
amended some before final passage
at the next meeting.
King and Palouse Assessment Roll.
The assessment roll for the i'm
provement of King and Palouse
streets was presented last night. The
assessment for each Is foot lot, &C
cording to the roll, is $65.77. The
clerk was instructed to advertise the
fact that the roll would be on file
with the clerk for the coming ten
days.
The contract for the collection of
garbage between the city and John
Holcomb was presented, but was re-
ferred to the health committee for
another week to make more specific
the terms of the contract.
The ordinance for sewer connec-
tion within 20 days after the compile
ton of the sewer was given second
reading.
