GET READY FOR
INSPECTION

Last Thursday night, June &c, was
the date set for the hearing OF re-
monstrances against the proposed i'm
provement of Main and intersecting
streets, but none were offered and the
town board of trustees are now pre-
pared to go ahead with paving plans
as fast as possible There is to be
meeting of the board tonight and
at this time the paving ordinance will
be passed and then the next step will
be the calling for bids.
In the last few weeks there have
been many contractors here to look
over the district to be paved and it is
believed that there will be several
bidders for the job. Several repre-
sentatives of bond houses have also
been in the city and it is the general
impression that the bonds of the city
will bring a good price.
While they were waiting for the
appearance of remonstrants the viii
lage trustees talked over town bust
ness One matter discussed was the
need of regulating the parking of
autos and at the next meeting an or
dinance will be passed providing how
autos shall be parked and providing a
penalty for violation of the ordinance
II was brought out that the fire n.y.
drants and the hose of the town are
not equipped with standard threads
OF the Pacific standard and in case OF
bad fire aid could not be secured
from Troy, Libby, Standpoint or Spo-
kane and that If Boomers Ferry was
called upon to give assistance to any
neighboring town she could not do Sc
because the hose would not fit tbs
hydrants.
1t was also stated that the hose OF
one of the towns hose carts cannot b.
coupled to the hose on the other car
and that The town cannot make con
nections now with it's fire hose to th'
hose used by the Bonners Ferry Lum
Der Company.
Chief of the fire department, ]. r
Meeker. will be able to re-thread thu
hydrants and hose and the fire de
partment committee has been empow
cred to have this done at once.

the fire had practically de-
stroyed the house by the time the
firemen arrived. The flames had spread
to an adjoining house, owned by Philip
Marks and occupied by j. E. Burns,
and it was necessary for the ladies to
make hard fight to save this building.
Several hose were turned on the base
of the flames and both fires were soon
eXtinguished. The damage resulting to
the latter residence was approximately
$50, which was covered by insurance
&yhe residence occupied by Mr.. Jaynes
was insured for 81 200, which is esti-
mated to be several hundred dollars
less than the actual value of the house
The furniture in the home was insured
for $3.50. As the occupants were away
from home and the flames had enVel-
oped the house before they were discov-
cred both the house and the furniture
were almost totally destroyed. No fire
was left in the house when the family
left home, it is stated, and the origin
of the flames remains mystery.
