MUNICIPAL DOCK
SITEWPROVED
BY COUNCIL
Plans anl specifications for a new
Municipal dock site on River Street
were adopted-by the City Council at
the r-gular bimonthly meeting of flu
city dad's Monday evening. The nev
location lays along the North bank
of Snake River, running westward
along the foot of D. Street and w th |
proper wharfage facilities installed I
would gr atlv facilitate shipping in j
the lower basin. The plans approv !
ed by the council were drawn by En
giner John A. Wilson for the council
Harbor Committee and have received
the . ndorsement of Junior Engineer
E. Ii. Carpenter, in charge of the
government harbor construction
work. Following their unanimou.;
endorsement by the council the City
Clerk was instructed to forward th
plans to the War Department for <
final approval.
The council met around the usual
hour with acting Mayor Maynard in
the cha r. Following the usual op
ening routine the Police Committee
reported having made arrangements .
with J. V. Jackson, who conducts ,
a merchants patrol, to act as special
policeman in conjunction with his
duties as night watchman. Salary
for his services in this connection
was fixed at $50 per month, payable
out of the City Treasury.
The Street committee, through Its
Chairman, reported that the officials
of the electric light plant had been
interviewed regarding the charges
for lighting the city streets during
the coming fall and winter and was
informed they would remain the
same as last year.
An offer made by Duffy O’Connor
to deed to the city a parcel of land
lying north of River Street in pay
ment of the taxes due thereon was
accepted by the council. The lot in
question is so situated as to give
the city a right of way from First
Avenue to River Street at a point
opposite the Pioneer Mining Com
pany building.
