To Ask Ordinance.

The board of public works has numerous requests to make relative to the installation of street lights, street improvements, and the enact ment of at least Wo new ordinances. The board has been besieged with applica tionS for street improvements in the way of sewer mains, extensions and improvements in streets that have not been accepted by the city. It is the belief of that board that all such applications should be decided by a fixed policy and the best way to do this would be to have an ordinance passed thtt no such inlproveme ents be made unless the layout of the street has been accepted by the proper city authorities. The proposed ordinance will probably be referred to the ordi- nance committee for action.
 A ordinance to limit the. number of gasoline pumps and filling stations and to prohibit their construction be- tween the curb and sidewalk will be brought up.
 The board will ask permission to install 13 new street lights in differ ent sections of the city.
 For TWo-PIatOon.

 We respectfully beg leave 10 pre- sent herewith a petition from the members of the permanent force of the fire department for the adoption of the two platoon plan of service. It ] has been carefully investig gated and considered by this board A hearing

 Place Most UnSanitary

In spite of his pathetic walls and promises to abide by any future orders of Milk Inspector B. D. Radcliffe, the milk dealers license of Eli Falll, a North Main street dealer, was revoked yesterday afternoon at a meeting of the board of health. Falk was given one month in which to collect his bills, dispose of his business and dis continue peddling.
 Dr. Radcliffe produced a bottle of water taken from Talks cooling tank. Nearly an inch of dirt had settled on

Falk re- fused to answer questions ciVilly while his machinery was very dirty the doctors said.

COMMON COUNCIL 10
 DISCUSS BUSINESS
Many Important Matters to Be Acted Upon-Curtis Presiding

In the absence of Mayor George A. QuiSley from the city, Senior Alder man c. F. Curtis will preside at the meeting of the common councu lhls evening. Aalarge volume ot business is to come up for discussion, lncluulns5 the changes in the powers ofN the h- cense commission, the adoption ot the two-platoon system for the fire he- partm ent, and the adoption or nuih- Der of new ordinances.
 The proposed changes in the pow CTS of the license commission are the result of a boxing exhibition conduct ed a few weeks ago in this city in which the performers and the public were both f1eeced by the promoter. e. It is the wish of the commission mem bers that the public be protected by seeing to it that none but reputable promoters who have furnished 9 bond sufficiently high to guarantee a good show, be given licenses.
 It was first planned to appoint a boxing commission to consist of sporting men and professional men whose duty it would be to supervise the running of boxing exhibitions from the time the license was applied for until the last bell was sounded. Belief is now expressed that if the council should pass an ordinance broad enough to place within the powers of the commission the right of withholding permits and accepting bonds from promoters, the need of such a commission would be done away with.
 Strengthening Fees.
 The board of health commission CTS will recommend to the council the enactment of ordinances cstab- fishing new fees for slaughtering and inspection of cattle and other live stock as follows:
 Resolved, That section , of the or dinances relating to Slaughter of Cat tie etc., be amended to read as fol- lows:
 The following fees shall be charged for inspections: For inspection of slaughtering at municipal slaughter houses, each cattle $1.00; calves 30 cents; sheep. 50 cents; swine, 1o cents; goats, 50 cents.

 Want a Pig Shed. A recommendation will be re- .ceived from the board of charity commissioners for a pig shed lo be built at the Town Farm.

Washington. March 2l.-Senator
Chamberlain of Oregon chairman Of
the senate military committee made
public yesterday a letter to Secretary
Baker in which he charged the war see
retary with being under influence of re-
actionaries opposed to changes in the
army court.martial system. with acting
in bad faith, toward congress and with
ordering am investigation which, the
senator said, in his judgment was de-
signed to destroy Lieut-Col. Samuel 7.

justice Of the present system"

gave out a copy of a telegram received
from Secretary Baker, now on an in

reply 10y Colonel Ansell to statements
made by Mr.. Baker and Judge Advo-
cate.Gencral Crowder. In response to
a message from Senator Chamberlain
asking that the Ansel letter be pub

senate ana house legislation to correct
the evils of the present court-martial
system. ! shall renew the request

by the war department to correct the
court-martial system was not sent in
good faith TO congress, but was simply
designed to allay public apprehension
and inquiry by the appearance of doing
something" The letter continued:
you supplanted the officer who had
seen fit to call your attention at the
beginning of the war to the necessity
of keeping the strictest supervision
over courtmartial proceedings by an
officer who contended that such su
pervision was not necessary and that
such supervision would derogate from
the power of the commanding officer
and destroy discipline. You elbow ed
aside the officer who even then had the
courage to condemn the system and the
provision to point out It's terrible re

my judgment to destroy the man who
exposed the injustice of the present
system
In order that any future response
bility might be shifted to congress, the
senator wrote, Mr.. Baker presented a
bill which. if he did not know, advisers
did, could not be passed. The slightest
consideration of the measure, he assert
ed, would show that had it been enacted
into law 1t would have made the system
even more "reactionary, If possible
