A MOVE TO
.BEAUTIFY
The CITY
ORDINANCE PASSED REQUIRING
ELECTRIC LIGHT POLES TO BE
MOVED TO ALLEYS-0RNAMENT-
AL POSTS FOR RAILWAY.

When the city council last night
adopted a resolution whereby the
Portland Railway, Light & Power
company must remove its poles and
wires in the business district from
the main streets into the alleys, 1t took
the second important step towards
making Salem a city beautiful
Ever since he was inaugurated
Mayor Lachmund has waged a fight
for the Identification of the city along
that line, and the resolution last
night was his second victory on that
point. He made recommendation on
the subject in his last message to the
council, and special committee was
appointed to take it up. The resolu-
tion passed last night was agreed up
on by the committee after a confer
ence with the mayor. 1t calls for the
commencement of the work of remov-
ing the poles within 30 days, and it
is to be completed within two years.
The estimated cost will be $4,000
Add to this the concessions to be
made along the same line by the
Portland, Eugene & Eastern railroad
company in its franchise and 1t will
mean that practically every unsightly
pole will be removed from the bus
iness streets Of the city within the
next year. These concessions were
also secured through efforts of the
mayor. They require that the com
pany, wherever possible, shall attach
its trolley lines to buildings and
where 1t is not possible that ornament
al posts are to be installed. That is
In the business district, and in the
residence district, ornamental posts
are to be substituted for the wooden
ones, and the change to be made in
the whole city within a period of two
years. Work is to be commenced
along this line by the Portland, Eu-
gene & Eastern as soon as it secures
It's franchise.

Advices have been received here
that the Monmouth Normal School
board in the next few days will be-
gin mandamus proceedings against
Secretary of State Olcott to compel
him to pay an appropriation of $50, 900

For the purpose of restraining the
secretary Of state from referring the
bill to vote of the people because of
fraud in the petitions, suit was COM
menced against him soon after the
Oregon University case. The decision
in the lower court was in favor of the
school. A verbal understanding was
reached that 1t should abide the decis-
ion in the university case, but no writ
ten stipulation was entered into. Sew
eral days ago the time for appeal to
the supreme court elapsed and mem
bers of the board now contend that
the Judgment of the lower court is
final and asked that a portion of the
appropriation be paid. The attorney
general, however, contends that the
judgment of the lower court is void
because the board did not comply
with the recent decision of the SUI
preme court and bring the suit in the
name of an officer of the state, and
relying on his advice the secretary OF
state has declined to pay any bills

Only Minor Changes Made in II
Mayors Fight for Wild
ening South Twelfth Street,
Which He Wins, Causes the
Change.
TO PAVE SOUTH TWELFTH
Committee Reports. RemOnstrance
Against Paving South Twelfth
Street is Insufficient and City At
tOrney Is Ordered to Draw Up Con-
tract for This ImproSement-Dl-
vision Street win Also BE Improved
Cement Sidewalks Ordered.

After long ana tedious discussion
in relation to the re-draft OF the fran
chise of the Portland, Eugene & East
ern Railroad company last night the
council finally passed It through its
second reading, and 1t is now ready
for final passage, and it is possible
that meeting may be called during
the week to enact 1t into a law.
Most Of the changes made are not
of much consequence, and the dis
cussion last night, for the most part,
revolved about Nminor points, The
discussion was not acrimonious, as It
was when the franchise was originally
introduced, and there was a total alb
sence Of fireworks.
The original franchise was vetoed
by the mayor on the ground that it
was necessary to widen Twelfth
street, and his veto was sustained by
the council. The new franchise amply
covers the subject This. and the
making of conditions safe on Front
street, we're the main reasons for ask
ing for re-draft of the franchise.
The street committee submitted
report, asking that an ordinance es-
tablishing cement sidewalk zone do
not pass, as the subject was already
covered by an ordinance, and 1t was
adopted.
The building committee was au-
thorized to proceed and have the toll
cts in the city hall repaired, they be-
ing in bad condition.
The sewer committee submitted al
majority report to the effect that the
Geiger Contracting company was
ready to sign up contracts for the in
stallation of sewers in the lateral sew
er districts Nos. 16, II and 1S and rec
commended that George Gordon be re-
leased from contract of installing
sewer in districts Is and 20. AS to the
first the majority report was adopt
ed, but as to the second the minority
report was adopted, and George Cor
don must sign the contract or forfeit
his check. He takes the position,
however that he has been delayed by
the city in this work, and that he has
a right to have his contract cancelled,
and he will likely bring suit to that
end against the city.
The Statesman Publishing company
was awarded the contract for printing
the charter and ordinances in book
form.
The street committee reported that
the remonstrance against the improve
ment of South Twelfth street was in
and the city attorney was
instructed to draw up contract for
the improvement Of the street.
Plans and specifications for the inn
proyement Of Division street from
Front to High street were adopted.
A petition for an arc light at the in
tersection Of Second and Chemeketa
streets was referred to the light COM
mittee.
A resolution directing the laying Of
a cement sidewalk on the East side Of
street between State and Oak
was passed
