COUNCIL REDUCES
SPRlNKLINC TAX
More Paving Added; !;
Trouble Over
Freight Bill

The city council at their meeting
Tuesday evening added the alley in
block forty-six to the paving district
which was passed at the last regular
meeting. Judicial street was also
added to the district and will be
paved from the east line of Shilling
avenue to the west line of University.
The council reduced the sprinkl-
ing tax from II cents foot for
property within the paving to twelve
cents. The property outside the paw
ing district received cut of 2 cents,
being cut from 8 to 6 cents.
The city purchased some material
from a pipe company last winter
which was to be delivered I. o. b.
Blackfoot, but when the material ar
rived there was freight bill at
taohed to it. City Clerk Quillin paid
the bill for the material deducting
the amount of the freight from the
total.
Then the railroad company came
around later with corrected state
ment and left the city the balance
amounting to about $50. The pipe
company feeling they had been
sighted came back on the railroad
for the corrected amount. The rail-
road came to the city then for re-
fund and the city clerk was directed
to return the amount getting a bill
to show that the amount was paid.

to the sagebrush without turning
over. Spraker's car kept to its
course, but the blow on the hub

Large Attendance
at Celebration on
Site of Old Fort

About forty carloads of people as
sembled at old Fort Hall on the bot
toms Wednesday afternoon to hear
Ezra Meeker deliver his address re-
garding the Oregon trail and the
building of Fort Hall in 1884. The
gathering was made up chiefly OF
people from Pocatello and Blackfoot
and few from different places in
Southern Idano.
Mr.. Meeker is 81 years old and ne
stood on the pedestal of the monu-
ment and read the address and was
listened to with marked attention.
The rye grass that covers the
grounds had been moved down the
day before so people could easily ex-
plore the plat which formerly COM
prised the stockade. There were no
mosquitoes worth mentioning, and
after the address many of the visit
ors drove over to the site of the
adobes and had picnic dinners before
going home.
1t is thirty-four miles to the site
Of Fort Hall from Blackfoot via the
Tilden bridge and it is thirty-fve
miles via Tyhee. The Tyhee road
is much better and there are two
rather difficult places to get thru
with car on the Tilden bridge road.
