In submitting his committees. Pre!
dent Welch stated that he Intended
watching their work, and that he would
remove at once those rommltteemen
who were careless or refused to attend
to matters referred to them for action.
"The work of the chamber Is altogether
too important for any committee to
shirk Its duty," said President Welch.
"and If the men I have named will not
attend to their duties I will find others
who wl'l."
The secretary pro lem was instruct
ed to makj reply to a letter from Hutch
Inson, Kan., Inquiring for Information
as to thi advantages offered here for
the establishment of a wholesale gro
cery house. According to the letter,
wholesale grocery houses have become
very numerous In the section In quc'
tlon, and the firm that writes was told
by a Kunsan that Astoria would be an
excellent place to locate.
Several other matters of much im
portnnce wvre discussed at length, but
at the request of the president they will
not be made public at this time.
At the conclusion of last night's
meeting President Welch entertained
the members at supper. The gathering
proved an especially hnppy one, and
the large number present spent a very
pleasant evening.
The -r.nual meeting of the taxpayer
and the school board was held last v
enlng at the Bhlvely school. The n tet
Ing sanctioned a school tax levy cf 11
mill for the coming year, S mills being
for the general expenses of the district
and i mills to provide a fund for the
completion of the Taylor school prtm-
tala.
The recommendation of the board
wa for a 2 mill levy for the latter
purpose, but on the solleltatlpn of Mr.
Fran Kankkonen, who represented
West Astoria, and who contended that
a larger amount would be neceseary for
the proper furnishing of the building,
the construction of necessary walks,
etc., the meeting agree to a 1 mill
levy. The school lax levy last year
wa 8 mills for school district expenses
and 2 1-2 mills for the construction of
the Taylor school building. The amount
necessary to complete the Taylor school
Is about $1900.
Of the $75,000 bonded indebtedness of
the district, $44,000 will nature during
the present year, this being the xplr.
atlon of 10 year from the time the
bonds were Issued. It waa decided to
make an effort to refund thla amount
if money 'ould be obtained for the pur
pose by popular loan at 4 or 5 percent
thus making a saving in interest. The
remainder of the bonded debt has 10
years longer to run. The report of
Treasurer Thos. Dealey showed tLat
the doattng debt had been reduced dur
ing the past year to the extent of $4,
344.84, leaving only $230 unpaid.
The reports, showing the amounts x
penled during the past year and the
estimates for the present year have al
ready been published In substance.
The very sn ail attendance of 13 per
sons, including the members of the
school board, was Justly taken as In
dicative of the general satisfaction ex
isting among the taxpayers and school
patrons as to the conduct of the af
fairs of the schools by the board.
The members of the board are held In
high esteem and are deserving of the
gratitude of the city for their wise and
faithful services. v
