East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1913-03-06

There is now a vacancy on the city
council. At the close of the session
last evening Councilman ]. l.. Shar-
on rendered his resignation, giving
as his reason his departure from the
city in the near future for an indefi-
mite length of time. The resignation
was accepted, but no appointment OF
successor has yet been made
though Mr.. Sharon intimated there
are several substantial citizens of the
fourth ward who are willing to ac-
cept the office.
Mr.. Sharon has been a member OF
the city council for little more than
three years and his term would have
expired on January /, 1914. At the
time of his resignation, he was chair
man of the council, having succeeded
w. E. Brock, who resigned from the
council several months ago. He was
also chairman of the sewer commit
tee, one of the most important of the
chairmanships. He intends leaving
for Portland soon where he will take
treatment from an eye specialist for
the removal of a cataract from one OF
his eyeballs.
Library Report Postponed.
Because they desired to secure fur
ther information, the members of the
special committee to whom was re-
ferred the proposal to secure for Pen
dleton a Carnegie library did not re-
port last evening and were given an
other week. In anticipation of action
ah har. Of l.
dies of the library board, accompan-
led by a delegation of twelve or fiji
teen business men were present. Sew
eral who were opposed to the prop
ostion were also in attendance, am
ong them being Judge Stephen A
Lowell, who submitted a formal pro-
test against the acceptance of any
money from the steel king for the
building of library home.
Paving Ordinances Passed.
Ordinances confirming the contract
between the city and the Warren
Construction Co. for the paving oi
east Webb and College streets with
gravel bitulithic were passed without
opposition. A communication from
| J. NJ. Painter asking that his name
be withdrawn from the petition fol
the paving of west Webb street was
| referred to the street committee.
Raley Street Next.
Indications are that Raley street
will be the next city thoroughfare to
be considered for improvement. The
matter of determining upon the prop
er methods of drainage for this street
in the event that it is paved was ta-
ken up last evening. Because of its
location and slope there would be a
large amount of water carried fnto
the street during heavy rains and spe-
cial provision must be made in order
that adjacent property be not flood
ed. A surface sewer was proposed
but the council will consider the mat
ter another week before taking ac-
tion.
The matter of the repairing of the
Lewis street sewer, which has beei
giving the city residents much trou.
BILE this winter. was also discussed.
Councilman Dyer was given auth
ority to secure a man to trim the trees
at the cemetery and to fill in the
sunken graves.
The local trap-shooting club was
given permission to use the grounds
above the pumping plant, upon appli'
cation by G. 1. La Dow and w. D
Hoch.
