ELECTION ON OCTOBER %
Vote on S20O,O0O Railroad Bonds
and $500, 900 Total Indebted
ness

The city council met Monday night
in connection with the railway COM
mission for fnal discussion of ordin-
ance No. 6s6, amending the charter
and providing for the issuance OF
100000 railroad bonds. Citizens
generally were present and entered
discussion of the proposed ordinance,
which with slight change was brought
up for final reading and passed by
the council.
October 2S was named as the date
on which the election shall be held,
The ordinance, portion OF which
was published in Sundays Daily
Courier, provides for the issuance OF
not more than 100000 bonds for
railway purposes and limits the total
bonds which can be issued by the city
at 100000. The present charter OF
the city allows an expenditure Of
something over 100000, and in COM
pliance with the suggestion OF Attor-
ney {asslich of New York this clause
limiting to 100000 Indebtedness
finds place in the ordinance. This
ordinance further provides that not
more than 100000 Of bonds may
be issued after the adoption OF the
amendment unless the same Is first
authorized by majority vote Of the
city. This, it is believed, will allay
any opposition when the measure
comes before the people at the polls.
The railway commission met again
this forenoon and voted to pur-
chase the Riggs railroad property,
consisting of right-of-way from the
Southern Pacific track to the inter-
section with the right-of-way Of

communicate with the bridge COM
panies and make a call for bids for
repairing the present trestle across
Rogue river and the building OF a
bridge and also for bridge across
Allen creek and another across the
Applegate river. 1t is expected that

1t was decided at the Saturday ses-

Is required, and the contract can be
let at the next session OF the court.
Action was also taken Saturday
by the court regarding the overload
ing OF the steel bridge across the
Rogue at Grants Pass by the great
tractor and lumber cars from the
Swede Basin mill. II Is estimated
that the tractor and its four cars
weigh when loaded one hundred
tons, and the designed capacity OF
the bridge is but IS tons, with sup
posed limit OF 30 tons The heavy
engine was especially damaging to
the flooring of the bridge, and the
strain upon the steel work was COM
mencing to tell. The court, there
fore, ordered that the crossing Of
the outfit be discontinued, and will
hereafter permit but single one OF
the trucks with its 10000 feet Of
lumber to cross at single time.
The tractor will not be permitted to
cross, and a lighter engine will have
to be used to haul the trucks one
