THREE NEW DISTRICTS
Grant Franchise to Oregon Short Line
Railroad-Description of the New
Sprinkling Districts and Estimates
of Assessments-City Dads Will
Purchase new Flusher for Streets.

The city dads met Monday evening |
and disposed of some important bus
mess in spite of the heat.
After reading a very interesting re-
port of the librarian, the matter of
the franchise asked for by the Short
Line in regard to the proposed build
ing of spur along the alley back
of Main street, was brought up for
action.
The franchise as drawn up by the
city attorney gives the railroad the
right to lay and operate such spur,
keeping the track surface even with
that of the alley so that teams may
cross at pleasure, and not declaring
the alley closed as the railroad wish
ed. t..
Rules were suspended and the
franchise passed with only Council
man Adams voting nay.
The new sprinkling ordinance was
then brought up and rushed through.

sprinkling districts in place Of the
present arrangement. The descrip-
tons follow:

The corner lots we're assessed te
high last year and the council will tn
season cndeavor to make more equ
table distribution of expense
sprinkling. The crossings and inte
sections are to be watered at the e
pense of the city.
It was thought that with the
creased area to be covered it wou
be necessary to buy two more sprin
ling wagons. but the dads have abo
decided that . "Ausher" will be I
thing. This vehicle will do away vi
the expensive flushing of the paw
ID. streets by the means of hose, and
the same time do the sprinkling
advantage. The machine costs abe
$4,000. but will easily save this mu
's in one year in cost of hose alone.
