and the other on South Twenty-first
street. He also said that repairs and
abuttments would have to be put in on
the South Commercial street bridge next
year and that new bridge would have
to be built there soon, the cost OF which
would not be less than 100000. He be-
leved the council ought to give money
enough to start a fill and recover the
structure. Patchwork he did not ap-
prove of in this case and considered
such work as money thrown away. 9th
er bridges, he informed the council,
were patched with old material. The
South Commercial street bridge he said
was not safe and in bad condition last
year. The $4,000 additional asked was
granted.
That Municipal Dock.
The $1,000 for the improvement of
South Mill creek was also granted.
At this time a committee from the
Salem Commercial club consisting of U.
G. Holt and Dan ]. Fry was given the
courtesy of the floor and U. G.. Holt told
of what the Commercial club had done
regarding the building of municipal
dock. He stated that Captain Graham
of the o. c. T. company, in his talk be-
fore the Commercial club, had stated
that if Salem had a municipal dock riv-
er business would be better and rates
lower, while it would act as stepping
stone for getting an appropriation from
the federal government for improving
the river. d. j. Fry added that the dock
would be self-supporting, benefit to
all the business men Of the city, and
make a terminal point of Salem, thus
keeping industries here that have a ten
dency to move where transportation ia
cilities are good.
Councilman Mills, as acting mayor, in
formed the committee that it was impos-
sible to consider the question of a mu-
nicipal dock unless the levy of taxa.
tion was raised.
Some More Ordinances.
The committee on sewers before the
council went into the committee of the
whole, reported it had investigated the
proposed improvement Of South Mill
creek and asked that $1,000 be pro-
vided in the budget. Both Councilman
Cook and City Attorney Macy were of
the opinion $1,000 would only cut the
brush Macy said there would not be
much money left after the brush wa,
cut and then probably would not keep
the district from being flooded. The
idea of the committee was to give some
relief. The report was adopted
An ordinance bill giving preference
to American born citizens in city work
and compelling people to cut rank weeds
on vacant lots was passed.
An ordinance regulating and licensing
Junk dealers and requiring license of
$50 year was referred to the ordinance
committee.
An ordinance to regulate the plac-
ing of telegraph poles and providing for
the stringing of the wires was passed.
