meeting is in North Yakima and a
strong effort is going to be made to
secure it for this city in 1911. The
council instructed the clerk to draft
the desired resolution for the state
meeting.
Want z Foot Parking Strip.
w. r. Prowell, on behalf of large
number of the residents of D street,
appeared before the council and
asked that no change be made in the
plans for the improvement of .
street The original plans call for
six foot sidewalk with Z foot park
ing strip on each side of the walk
and a 80 foot roadway. There has
been an effort made to change this
plan, and Mr.. Prowell had the sig
natures of property owners control
ing about 1900 feet of frontage. The
council, after hearing arguments in
the matter, decided that this plan
would make better street, and went
on record as against any change.
The engineer was also instructed
by the council not to grant any per-
mits for terraces or steps on the
parking strips. Such must be made
on the property line and not on the
city parking strip.
Must Spray Trees in the City.
The council was in receipt of
communication from Inspector OAR
lington calling attention to the fact
that all trees within the corporate
limits must be sprayed and that in
the past the trees in the city had
been a menace to the outside grow
ers. The parking committee was in
structed to confer with the district
inspector and make the necessary ar
rangements for spraying in the city.
Steel Pipe High.
There was but one bid received
for the steel pipe for Mission street.
The bid was for 1850 feet of ten
inch pipe; 2,625 feet of eight-inch
pipe; 800 feet of six-inch pipe with
the babbit metal and other fixtures
that go with this pipe, and was ap-
proximately $1,000. This is for the
Mission street line and the bid was
temporarily laid on the table.
The new fire ordinance and the
new building ordinance were both
passed to the third reading.
Subsewer Rolls Ready.
The assessment rolls for the three
new subsewer districts were
presented by Engineer Ward. The
council will set a date for hearing
protests on these. The council will
then pass an ordinance approving
them and then they will go to the
city treasurer for payment. Sub
sewer No. 4. on Thurston street. will
cost $6381 per each rs foot lot;
No. 6, in the alley from Mission to
Wenatchee between Orondo and Pa
louise, will cost $55.27 for each rs
foot lot; No. Z, the Columbia street
sewer, will cost $52.21.
The matter of securing fire appar-
atus came up for discussion last
night, but the matter was passed over
temporarily from the fact that there
does not seem to be funds in sight
to select the auto-propelled appar-
atus which the department believes
Is necessary. The fire committee re-
commends that the old fire bell be
installed in the fire house on the hill
but passed up the matter of having
1t equipped with the electric alarm.
The fre committee also having in
charge the moving of the red apple
electric sign reported that bids would
be received for the moving OF this
during the coming week.
The parking committee reported
that this committee has spent some
time on the Orondo avenue parking
site and found that it would take a
great deal of work to get this In
shape to plant the trees and recon-
mended that the park be worked dur
ing the coming summer but that the
trees should not be planted until
fall. The trees for Chelan avenue
will be here in a short time and the
park committee was asked instruc-
tions what to do with them. 1t is
likely that the matter of planting the
trees will be up to the city and that
the expense will come out of the
general fund during this season.
When the next levy is made it is
likely that levy will be made for
park purposes and that the city Will
assume all care of the trees in the
parking strips.
