W.J.SCULLEY OFFER WAS TAKEN UP George E. Nelson Has Settled In Full All Claims of the City Against Bondsmen. STREETS WILL BE IMPROVED Case of John L Bock vs City ol Astoria Will Not Be Appealed. At the regular meeting of the city council last evening It was unanimous ly agreed to accept the onVr of Ceo. A. NeUon to pay to the city 4350 to set tle In full all claims of the city agulnst the bondsmen of the late Auditor H. E. Nelson. This is within 1700 of the full amount reported by the experts as due th city and the oounrllmen thought that In view of the very gener ous action of Mr. Nelson In trying to make good the defalcations, and the Improbability of recovering a larger amount by action at law. It was best to settle on the term offered. The council also accepted th prop ortion of John L. Bock to compro mise his claim against the city for dam ages on account of Injuries received by falling through a street, by payment to him of :too and coats. Hocknas awarded I2WQ.50 by a Jury In the cir cuit court, but to prevent an appeal to the supreme court he made the offer to accept a smaller sum and stay further proceedings. , A sharp debute ensued on the motion, some of the councilmen holding, with the mayor, that the case should be carried to the higher court to settle If possible the liability of the city In such cases. The charter pro vides ugalnst the payment of damages for Injuries sustained by reason of de fective streets but In the case of Hen ry Mtttsoti vs the city some time ago the supreme court decided that the charter was In that respect uncoustltu tlonal. The opinion was expressed by one nvtnber that the Injury was not sustnlivd by the alleged full, and that the claim should be fought as being unjust. It was finally decided to take no chances of faring worse In a new trial and to settle on the terms propo od. The statement of Judge McDrlde In his charts to the Jury, "the city should keep Its streets In rapalr or go out of business," seemed to be a deciding fac tor, although not accepted as a wise saying. v The following claim were allowed Ast.

Palmberg to pay for the tool house built In the rear of the city Jail and $450 to same for the Elev enth street drain,, Ordinances were passed under sus pension of the rules for the Improve ment of Fourteenth street between Commercial and Bond, Eighth street between Astor and Commercial, Elev enth stret between Bond and Frank Hn, Bo.vj street from Ninth to Four teenth ,and Commercial from Seven teenth to Twenty-third. A remonS' trance, signed by the principal proper ty owner on the route of the latter Im provement objected to the street being planked at the expense of adjacent own era of property, as, this being the only thoroughfare to Uppertown and hence heavily traveled the expense should be borne by the city at large. The remon strance was pigeonholed for the reason that the street had to be Improved and the manner of assessment Is provld ed by the charter. Dr. Logan addres sed the council on the subject of allow ing the property owners on Eleventh street the privilege of filling the street with earth from the hills by sluicing If they so desired, and provision was made that such could be done If found desirable. It was explained that the cost would not be great and that the Improvement would be of a more per manent nature. Estimates will be made In the premise. The absence from tha state of the three police commissioners, Messrs. Kopp, Cook and Moen made a matter of discussion as to whether or not the offices were vacant.
