porary use. was referred.
Frank Beam and wife and b. H.
! Gardner signified their intention Of
improving a part of l. street, but

l. street can not be used without a
regrade and the lowering of Eleventh
street. The request that l. street be
vacated between Tenth and Eleventh

The matter of vacating a strip of
| Simpson avenue to make it conform

than 80 feet, in providing for improve
ment of the street was referred to
the street committee.
The council went on record as op-
posed to advertising methods that

approaches of the Heron street and
Oregon Washington bridges.
An ordinance was passed approving
the assessment roll for a 20-foot con-
crete roadway in the alley from X

nance amending section 81 of the
liquor licese ordinance shortening
the term of those dealers whose IL
censes expire during next year, and
limiting renewals to December 81,
1915. The liquor dealer is required
to pay only for the days next year his
license runs.
Mayor Eugene France, after calling
attention to the fact the county en-
gineer favored new route around the
bluff to connect with the Wishkah
road, appointed a committee consist
ing of Councilmen Vandevort, Fraser
and Weiland to confer with Mrs. J. B.
Stewart on the subject and to secure
all possible data from her They were
instructed to report at the next meet
ing.
The council decided to take no
