z. c. Finch urged organization, say
ing taxation was rapidly nearing the
point of confiscation, and condemned
the state policy of conserving state
lands that should be sold and the
money applied to schools and other
purposes for which they were granted,
thus placing those lands on the tax
rolls, instead of taxing the people for
the building and maintenance of the
institutions which were so literally
endowed.
T. H. Mckay made an attempt to de-
fend the late unlameted legislature,
saddling the blame for extravaganza
upon the appropriations committee.
He admitted voting for the state uni.

to secure votes sufficient to secure the

asked to secure by the commercial

taxes where it justly belongs, on the

with a protest, alleging that the
building would be a menace from fire
as well as unsanitary. The council
took a half hour recess to examine
the building, and decided to allow II

it could not remain on the street

liquor dealers, not selling less guam
titles than one gallon, to pay an an

The council tied on the proposition
to build plank roadway on the east
side of B street, between Market and
Second. The street committee rec
commended the roadway, and the vote
stood to on the adoption of the
report. Mayor France cast the de.
Gliding vote in the negative, saying
if the property owners desired the
road they should petition for it.
A report of the street committee
was adopted, recommending the i'm
provement of Newell street, between
Wishkah and Summit, by filling and
paving. and by 16-foot plank road
between Summit and Henry and that
a 16 foot plank road be built OH
