COUNCIL CONSIDERS
MANY MATTERS
Many Matters Come Before Body
Lights Granted for Streets During
Convention.

Water, light and city hall matters
took up the greater part of the time
of the city council, which met in busy
session last night. The right of the
public utilities commission to exercise
control over the municipal water
works system was denied, and fol-
lowing the receipt of the message Of
Mayor Sweeley, the council decided
to investigate the relative merits of
filtering system as compared with a
double system of waterwOrks, one
for the gardens and stock and one
for domestic use. Street Commits
sioner Porter, in behalf of himself
and Fire Chief Carlson, reported in
favor of the installation of six fire
plugs at places needed for sprinkllng
convenience and greater protection.
The matter was temporarily laid over.
In the case of a residence in the new
School addition which wanted water
connections, it was determined to
grant the extension, provided that the
expenses should be paid by the owner,
as under the old system. The recon-
mendation that a shack belonging to
j. p Kavanaugh on lots II and II,
block 55, be declared a nuisance was
referred to the proper committee. The
liz acres of alfalfa land owned by
the city was rented to a Mr.. Conley
for $13 an acre. The ordinance add
ing to the sprinkling districts was
passed, subject to revision after the
hearing of protests, also the original
sprinkling ordinance. An ordinance
was also passed making clear the
matter of water rents for residences
and imposing a fine for improper use
City Clerk Williams reported that
he was doing a rousing business as
employment agent and asked for in
structions relative to certain details
which were given.
1t was determined to comply with 2
request of the Commercial club that
the streets be illuminated during the
convention.

LABOR SHORTAGE
DELAYS NEW DEPOT
Oregon Short Line Cannot Gel
Men to Build Freight House
WILL CONSULT TWIN FALLS CON-
TRACTORS ON SUBJECT.
New Section Houses for This Citv and
Hollister-Present Freight Depot to
Be Moved Back.

The building of the new freight de-
pot at this city is being held back Dy
reason of the unbounded prosperity
which the people are now enjoying,
and which makes it impossible to get
men to do the work, according to A. b.
Stevenson, general superintendent OF
the Oregon Short Line, who spent
short time in this city Friday looking
over the situation. Workmen every
where are now employed and the com
pany finds it impossible to gather up
enough of them to put up the depot.
On the other hand the growing trelght
business of the city makes it desirable
that greater facilities be furnished. AS
result Mr.. Stevenson announced on
his visit that he expected to return IN
few days and consult the contractors
to see whether it will be possible for
them to handle the situation. The
company intends to divide the section
now constituting the Hollister branch
and put one section house at Hollis
ter, but by reason of the shortage OF
men for construction work, this Will
also be let by contract. A new section
house for this city is also contem-
plated.
1t is believed that the freight house
will be moved east on the lot that L
now occupies and the $4,000 available
| will be expended in additions and in
provements in order that the business
of Twin Falls can be expeditiously
handled.
