City Dads
Had a Busy
Evening

The present building ordinance of
the city will remain intact DESPITE the
efforts of Councilman W. n. Rigdon
and Architect Fred A. Legg to have It
changed, The ordinance committee
with the city attorney and the city
engineer brought in a report last night
unfavorable to lessening the thickness
of walls when the story is less than
Is feet in height.
The move to have the ordinance
changed was initiated by Architect
Legg, who is planning a garage for
Wick brothers on North High street
between Court and Chemeketa. Wick
brothers wish to make the first story
of their building only 12 feet high, in
stead of the regulation height of Is
feet. A question arose Just before the
vote was taken in which Councilman
Rigdon said that he had decided that
for the Wick brothers to carry out their
p,ans as formed would not be a viola
ton of the law because the ordinance
did not read that the walls must be IS
inches thick "up to IS feet"
The street committee recommended
the award of the contract for the con-
of gravel bitulithic pavement
in the alley of block 29, University ad-
ditlon, to the Clark-Henry Co. whose
bid for the work is $765.71. The re-
port was adopted.

Two Mistakes Made.

Based on a remonstrance submitted
by DR.. Cusick, who believed that he
had been charged for the removal of a
gutter in front of his property the
street committee reported that DR..
Cusick had not been charged for the
removal.
Replying to a petition from prop
erty owners on South Winter street,
who contended that the city had never
paid out a cent for the cleaning of that
street, the street committee reported
that the street had been cleaned and
otherwise cared for at least once every
winter, and that with the exception OF
South Commercial street more money
had been paid out in caring for 1t
than for any other macadam street in
the city.
