been given permission by the Cow
litz county commissioners to close
the highway at point two miles
south of the city, where it is practi-
cally impossible to make the neces-
sary cut and keep the road open. At
this point the highway closely fol-
lows the hillside. The contractors
are using steam shovel outfit and
railway in making the cut and fill.
The road will probably be closed for
a month and in the meantime traffic
will be diverted over the road
through Lexington and Sandy Bend
which. except for the long hill be-
yond Sandy Bend, is in better condi.
ton than the Pacific highway.

The minutes of the preceding meeting having been ratified a communication was read from the Nome Chamber of Com merce asking that the city council make the telegraph office time off, cial city time, as the variance caused delay to important messages. No action was taken.
 The Mayor stated that the Road Commission received a dispatch from Davison, Juneau, stating that a telegram had been received by the Empire stating that the Road Ap- propriation had been eliminated from the appropriation bill. as a useless expense and urging that chambers of commerce and the mayors and council wire Senator Chamberlain to have the same re- instated in the bill in the senate.

 M'Allister said the need was urgent. He was short weighed three hundred pounds on a load of coal; M'Allister said the Mayor knew he was sometimes short himself. The Mayor said yes, but it was always made good. The matter was ad- justed by Councilman Ross who said that he would be going down to Solomon sometime next month and the matter was left in his hands. The matter of the bridge to the Sandspit was brought up. Poteet protested city poverty. Rose thought that the Sandspitters who paid their taxes were entitled to some consideration. So did Burgh. M'Allister and Poteet were instruct ed to look into the matter. The Ross bill provoked lengthy discussion and evoked several orations upon the part of the councilmen.
