Xelth- . ,, lnstltution9 and assUtini, er Mr. Whipple nor Mr. Clinton have , ull ln developing the resources of the city and county; contributing liberally to all enterprises and a valu able anddition to Astoria society. Had it not been for the parsimonious pol icy of the chamber of commerce, Mr. Hammond would have built a $500,000 saw mill at Astoria instead of go ing to Eureka. Had it not been for the obstacles thrown In the way, and the selfish spirit of that now defunct organization, Mr. Hammond would have probably spent $1,000,000 in de veloping the resources of Clatsop county, instead of there being about 14 000 DODulation, Astoria today would have been a live, bustling city of at least 25,000. There Is no doubt but the chamber of commerce drove Mr. Hammond away from Astoria, with the assistance of some of the Individual members. When our Heavenly Fatner In his infinite wisdom can see His way clear to remove from this vale of tears a few of the members of this obscure organization it Is believed that Mr. Hammond will again return to Asto ria and take up the work of developing the resources of the county-as he con templated doing when he construe tei the railroad. He has several times ex pressed a desire so to do, but when he thinks of the chamber of commerce, he takes another trip to Eureka In or der to forget the past. any idea of what the system will cost, they have no idea of the amount of business they can secure, and have no certain company behind them to fur nish the capital for constructing the enterprises. They are endeavoring to get the best terms possible In order to find some capitalist willing to invest in the enterprise. The proposition to strike out of the ordinance the provision regulating the price of telephones to consumers is of doubtful propriety. If a new company does come here to put in a system, there will be no trouble for them to organize a trust and put up the prices charged for telephones from $3 per month to $5 per month. If there are two companies and neither one can pay operating expenses at the price charged, it is morally certain that they will enter into a combination to Jump up the price. It has been done in every city in the world, and Astoria will be no exception. If the price Is fixed in the ordinance at $3 for main line service and $1.25 for party line service, there "will be no opportunity of organizing a trust The price will be always maintained at that price The new company cannot raise the nrlce because prohibited by their franchise, the old company cannot raise the price because to do so, would be to drive business to the company furnishing telephones at the lowest price. The memb'TS of the council cvinM a desire to treat the promoters with due and fair consideration, but they should also remember that they do not represent th promoters, nut th" peo ple of the city of Astoria, and that ih" franchise.? they are contemplating Is the property of the people and not the property of the common council. They are supposed to represent th- people of the entire city In giving an-.-iy valuable franchises and not their in dividual inr llnatior.s, and the people demand all franchises donated be sur rounded with sufficient restrictions to protect the city. The promoters need no protection. They come here with nothing, expecting to secure some thing, and when it is secured, endeavor to enlist outside capital to construct and develop the system. No one has any objection to this, and both fran chises should be granted as provided in the ordinances drawn by City At torney Smith.
