A rhymed tale recounts a town posse pursuit of a bold robber, ending in a fatal exchange of gunfire after marshal Otis and others pursue. The narrative shifts to municipal business: salary changes for the marshal, a fireworks order, and an July 3 meeting to discuss issuing bonds to finance a water system under a charter amendment from June 5 1911.
City council met Tuesday night and approved third reading of Ordinance No. 141 extending the cement sidewalk to Powell Street with Jackson Street intersections. Warranted bills totaling 82.75 were audited and ordered paid. A two member committee from the city and commercial club was appointed to study water systems in Seio Stayton Independence and Monmouth and inspect a spring water source east of Independence.
John Hobbs argues for municipal ownership of utilities and cement sidewalks to avoid future repairs. He urges gradual walks, warns against harming widows, and calls for careful planning to build a fair city without hurting anyone, stressing unity and charity.
