METEOR FALLS NEAR ASTORIA

A brilliant meteor Hashed. ax-ross the

westerly direction." said Mr. Easta
brook, "and Captain Ballcy and myself

Apparently It was about twice the size
of a str.et light, and a tail of fire seem
ingly 12 or It yards in length, followed
It. As the meteor darted across the
heavens balls it fire fell from It, flick
red fTa moment and then were lost

Sixteenth Street Improvement
Suit Compromised by .
- Interested Parties
GOODIN MAKES CONCESSION
Anion nt Will Apply on Hum
That City Will Have to Pay
on Aeonut or Excea
Aaaeaaement.'
The Mlxteenth street Injunction caae
wa settled out of court yesterday by
the attorney and member of the
council treet committee. The settle
ment wa brought about through the
efforts of City Attorney A. M. Smith
on a bail satisfactory Jo all parties
Interested. The' term of settlement
we re agreed upon, but the necessary pa
per have not yet been drawn up.
Examination of the county assess
ment roll showed that the probable as
sessment for the improvement would
exceed 7S per cent of the assessed valu
ation of the property, the limit fixed by
law. Thl excess would hav to be
paid by the city, a I provided In the
charter, and the attorney for the prop
erty owner who sought to enjoin Con
tractor Goodln from- proceeding with
the Imprvemenf learned that their ult
wa really calculated to save the city
from loss, and would have little effect
upon the Individual property owner.
When City Attorney Smith suggested
a compromise, the Interested parties
got together, and the term of settle
ment were agreed uoon. .
Vnder the settlement effected, the
city stands about one-half the costs In
the suit recently Instituted, while Mr.
Goodln will pay the balance. The costs
will amount to but very little. The
tonsessinns made bv itr. Goodin were
not made public, but It Is believed that
he has agreed to reduce his bid In the
amount of the error made In the origi
nal estimate of the excavating to be
done, -'
Just what excess the city will be re
quired to pay is problematical, but It
is thought the sum will be fully $1000.
The confession made by Mr. Goodln
will apply against this excess, so the
city's obligation will be lessened.
"The settlement," said Mr. Smith
last evening, "wa an amicable one,
agreeable to property owner as well
as to the city and the contractor engag
ed In the work. The council In acting
on he matter will take no cognizance
of the concessions made by Mr. Goodln,
but merely ratify the contract as It
stands. Just what these concessions
are I am not ot liberty to state, but I
can say that all the parties concerned
are satisfied."
Today's speciil council meeting will
be held to make the necessary ratifi
cation of the action of the street com
mittee in the awarding of the contract
for the work. .
