reason of lack of facilities for escape
in case of fire, inadequate in point of
room or arrangements and very much
out of date. Many expressed them
selves as surprised at the conditions
found there as they had never before
paid the school a visit and several de-
clared the building was a positive dis
grace to a city the size of Pendleton.
That some definite report could be
made to the Commercial club tomor-
row night, Chairman Rice appointed
a subcommittee consisting of w. L.
Thompson, Leon Cohen and T. c. Tay-
lor to draw up a report IF the findings
Of the committee. This was done this
afternoon and the report is being
signed by the members of the con
mittee without an exception. This re-
port will leave 10 DON for doubt -
to the necessity of a new building for
the high school.
President Smythe is DESTROYS that
as many as possible of the taxpayers
of the city be present tomorrow eve
ming to heal the discussion of the
proposed new building. Especially
those who are opposed to the propo-
sition of bonding the city are asked
to attend.

SEWER EXTENSION
CAUSES DISCUSSION
COUNCILMEN DIVIDED AS TO
HOW TO PROCEED
Shall Webb or Alta Street Line Be
Continued Into West End-Question
Referred to City Engineer.

Although the council has decided
on an extension of the city sewer sys-
tenn past the asylum site and has al
ready undertaken plans toward car
rying out this decision at once, there
is some difference of opinion among
the members as to Just what sewer
shall be extended and by what streets
the extension shall be made. A dis
cussion of this problem occupied most
of the time at the meeting last night
but nc definite decision was made.
Councilman Sharon had worked out
a plan of extension for which he
claimed the best service for the great
est number Of people at the minimum
expense. Briefly, he would extend
either the Webb or Alta street sew
er, preferably the latter, as 1t is the
largest, so that it would tap the res
idence district in the west end Of the
city, which is at present without a
sewer, turn north on Hazel street and
connect with the Court street sewer,
and thence run to the mouth of Tu-
tuilla creek, which is the outlet as
planned at present. BY this plan, he
"iSuSSi Nv oHhS Will Il great HuIlDeT
Of people be reached, but the aban-
donment of $500 feet of the present
main line will be prevented.
Several of the other councilmen
found objections to this plan and it
was finally decided to refer the mat
ter to the city engineer.
The Charter Amendments.
The matter of the proposed amend
ments to the city charter was also ia
ken up and it was the c%oncensus of
opinion hat the citizens of Pendle-
ton should have an opportunity to in
form themselves of the provisions Of
these amendments. To that end it
was decided to hold a joint meeting
with the Commercial association next
Tuesday evening at which the public
would be invited. 1t was also de-
clded to hold a special meeting of
h council on Saturday evening for
the purpose of discussing these
amendments. City Attorney Raley
reported that he would have the ini-
tiative petition for the water bonds
ready for circulation in a few days.
Other Business.
\ committee was appointed by the
mayor to investigate the cost of
shelving for the new library room
and further to investigate the price
of chairs for the big room on the
second floor of the city hall, as II
is the intention of the council to pre-
pare this for a public meeting place.

NEW HIGH SCHOOL
BUILDING NEEDED

That a new high school building is
needed and needed badly is the I'M
animous opinion of the ten prominent
citizens and taxpayers appointed by
President Smythe of the Commercial
association to investigate conditions
a. the high school and report back to
the association. Accompanied by
members of the school board and a
number of contractors and builders,
the committee visited the building
yesterday afternoon, went over it care
fully from basement to roof and then
returned to the association rooms to
discuss the situation.
One after another Chairman Rice
called upon them to give their i'm
pressions and without a single DIS
senting voice, the old high school
building was condemned as unsafe by
