They were brought before Justice Goodman and admitted they had failed to pay th? tax required hy law. Insasmuch as they had failed to comply with the law and had been enjoying all the the privileges of American citizenship, Judge Goodman assessed each of them $10.60! Had they paid their poll tax to Supervisor Hilton as re quested, it would only have cost them $3. The $7.60 wa assessed fnr hsimv obstropulous.

It was one of those assemblies that are not for gotten in a life time, ' To the Honorable Chairman and Committee on Streets and Public Ways of the City of Astoria: In ac cordance with request, I have made an mvT-stigation and consultation witn your City Engineer to determine th.. cause of landslides in a portion of Adair's Astoria and suuucst a eerier il outline of a plan for stopping them. There appear to be two drainatrc oasins wncre trouble ousts, these two basins being separated at the lower end by a ridge which extends North to I rankiin Avenue in the neighbor1 nood ot 'Jlnrty-sixih Street. Th water ocurses 111 both these basins run in a general direction from South- cast to Northwest, from points South of Irvinar Avenue. basins the general conditions are similar and I think the remedies would be similar. It should be said, however, that in the easterly one. most of the water from which comes down, 38th Street, conditions are not nearly so bad as in the other, and the occasion for radical changes does not seem very pressing. The cause of the trouble seems to be twofold. First, the obstruction of natural drainage by grading of lots ami streets without the substitution of adequate artificial drainage: second the seepage of water confined by na tural obstruction much further un the hill, which will be discussed in deta-'l further on. TT., ., . . unucr tne nrst ticadincr it ,m evident that if the artificial drains pr viaea were ever sufficient for th 4uiyuc lmcnaea, tney are now so badly out of repair that thev no lontrer serve tli nrmint The most effective remedy orobahlv consists of opening the natural water courses, commenciiie at th. riv.r front and digging trenches throncho:it the entire length of the main water hannels. These trenches should be excavated down to some material im pervious 1o water or, if this is im practicable .to some material which will furnish a stable and unyielding ioundation for suitable drains. It iso important that if closed drains are, constructed they should be large nough to allow for inspection and cie.in-ng from the inside and strong n-Tgli to allow for inspection and Cleaning from the inside and strong enough to withstand reasonable ores sure from the unstable ground above I understand one difficulty in the way of this scheme would be the fact that the two channels suggested could not be constructed on streets but would rnn diagonally across private property. It will be exceedingly dif ficult, however, to provide smitabb drainage ky following street lines. In the first place, such a system e. on street lines would be partly in excavation and partly on embark ments. This is very likely to cause breaks in drains of afty material, on account of the difference in the solid ity of the foundations. In the second place, the square turns at street corners are almost cer tain to leak as soon as any deteriora tion takes place in the drains. In the third tilace. anv drains whirt do not continuously follow the bot tom of the main water courses "will almost certainly fail to catch some of the seepage water from the sides. If some such scheme as above sug gested were carried out throughout this portion of the shdine districts North of Irving Avenue, I think ther? would be little further trouble from the first of the causes mentioned. It remains to consider the second. An even casual inspection discloses the fact that there are manv snrino-s - 1 o emcrcintf from the slopes of the hill. the sources of which are not at first apparent. A pretty thorough inves tigaticn convinces me that these are largely caused by the extensive swamos Ivinc from about 400 .to 1000 feet South of Irving Avenue and from 350 to 400 feet above the. river and shown on the map submitted by the City Engineer with the report of Sep tcmber 2, 1902. I do not'bclieve th slides which are causing so much trouble will be stopped till these swamps arc thoroughly drained. So far as we have been able to ascertain by soundings within the limited tim at command, the depth of these swamps is from 20 to 25 feet. T should recommend draining them at two places, namely, at A and C on the map above mentioned, bv'euttimr down the natural outlets sufficiently" below the bottoms of the swamps' tr al.'ew all the water free outlet. 'and then . extendititr these channels throughout the entire length of tho in them it would be impossible to dig trcnclic without practically removing all the material in th.- swamps, as would almost certainly come in from the f Ctf at fast as removed. If, however, the outlets are deepen. cd as suggested, it is probable that !((, .1... uc juaii-iai 111 me swamps would decrease much in bulk, and increase in density. The foregoing has reference to the district between 35th and 39th Streets, South of Irving Avenue. There arc small streams, also, comming out of the hillsides from 33rd to 35th Streets One of these originates in a small swamp probably 400 feet above the river, but the present indications are that there is not much need of doinot any more here than digging a arood ditch at the outlet of this little swamp and leading the water by some suit able drain to a' connection with the drainage mentioned above for this basin. I fully concur in the statement of Mr. Tee in the renort of KintnhF 19021902, above mentioned, with re- resentaion, the latter probably effect gard to the practive prevailing I ln tne representation of Clatsop throughout this district of tapping icou y ,n next legislature various springs and creeks in the hills Up From Hammond- Adair's band of 65 good cows, will j: 11.

It is barely possible that the open ing ot some ot the steets running North and South far enough up the ill to tap the swamps would stop some of the trouble. I do not believe however, that this plan would be nearly as effective as the one first suggested for the objections above mentioned to a drainage system con fined to street lines. It seems to bi essential to provide for the enterinir upon private property to have any dequate system of drainage and al most equally essential to provide for n elastic scheme of improvement which may be suitably modified as the work progresses. It is practically impossible for any one to estimate accurately before hand what the" work will cost, and draw up a contract that will cover all possible contingencies. If this is at tempted one of two things is almost certain to result. Either the system will not prove satisfactory because obstacles will arise which could not be foreseen and provided for befo.-e hand, or in the attempt to guar! against all possible happenings, a plan will be provided which may subse quently prove to be more expensive than is necessary. I have not undertaken in this report to indicate cither by maps, or other wise, the exact ahenement of the main drains, still less of the laterals. Tt do this with even reasonable accuracy will require considerable work either by boring or open trenches across the probable channels, at frequent intervals. In conclusion, I would sav in brief that the trouble with Adair's Astoria seems to be that, at j.resei;t, there is pretty well developed irrigation system, instead of a drainage system. T. H. CURTIS. Mayor hmith, Surveyor Tee, the Mayor and Chairman Fox of the street committee, will go to Portland this week to investigate the different street improvements in vnim ' in Portland with the object of adootintr the most feasable and least expensive for the improvement , of Commercial street from Ninth to Fitth. This street is upon solid ground and the property owners are willing to pay for the most approved and up-to-date improvement as an advertisement for the city. Upon their return they, will report to the common council iand the improvement suggested will be acted upon. If it proves a success the same will be used on other streets in the city. . i "c uiciiiucrs oi nsiona MHige no. sion laws. Among the new laws fc j 180, B. P. O.
