THE MORNING ASTORIAN ASTORIA ORE. FRIDAY, JULY J, 1905. WILL GIVE OPINION On C01H House Plan at the Next County Court Session. PROPOSAL MAY BE FEASIBLE Jodie Trenchard Confirms Movement on Foot and Says if Court Hons U Hot Completed Will Not Be Because of Lack of Effort If the scheme far the completion of the court house carries, the building will be completed within eight months, and the men who advance the necessary funds will be repaid within six years. This is the way members of the County court view the matter. The opinion of District Attorney Allen will be rendered at the session of the County court on the 15th inst. Last evening the court was adjourned until the 'date named, at which time Judge Trenchard, the commissioners and others interested in the matter will meet to hear the opinion of the county's legal adviser. Should Mr. Allen hold that the pro ject can be legally entered into, the ne cessary money will be forthcoming and there will be no complaint from the ele meat that haa viewed with displasure i the effort to improve the appearance of the city. It is planned to scale down the cost f the building from $160,000 to $130, OOO. Already the amount expended on the building haa been $41,184.08, so that about $89,000 would be needed to fin ish the building. Assuming that Mr. Allen will report favorably upon the proposal, the County court wiU make public the exact nature of the propo aititno submitted. The county will pay interest on the amounts advanced each month, but it is proportioned that rent al of, say $1200 a month, shall be paid, and that this rental shall apply first on the interest account and then on the principal. The rental at $1200 a month, would amount to $14,400 yearly, where as the interest on $90,000 would be but $5400, leaving a balance of $9,000 a year Watch - This - Space and Wait We will inaugurate for the second time this year a GRAND CLEARANCE SALE Of all the odds and ends left over in our Dry Goods department.

Astoria's Greatest Store. The place where new things make their dubut. to apply on the principal. A the prin cipal was reduced the interest would de crease accordingly and the amount avail able to apply on the principal would trow correspondingly. That the obligation would not be burdensome is evident from the fact for instance, that a 5-mill levy running for six years would net $150,000. The plan is prartkvble, and the only thing in the way of its application is the legal ity of the proposed procedure. Conn dence is expressed that a way will be found to complete the building. The announcement yesterday of the plan for completion of the structure was esgerly read, and on all sides ex pressions were heard commendatory of the action taken by the County court. That the people want the court house ha been plainly manifested, and tf way out of the difficulty can be found there will be much rejoicing. Asked yesterday for a statement regarding the matter, Judge Trenchard said: The plan as stated this morning is contemplated. Not until the opinion of the district attorney is filed, however, will it be possible to go into detail Should the opinion be favorable, to the plan, the proposition now in the hand of the court will be made public. We will do everything in our power to ar range for completion of the building and if we should fail it will not be due to lack of effort We will know July 15 whether or not the idea is practi cable." Commissioners Clarke and Larson voiced the same sentiment, adding that they hoped that the plan would prove legal. They were of the opinion that the plans could be scaled so as to re- 1 duoe trie cost. 01 me ouuuing uy aooui iqoq. Deserve Credit The ladies of the Libraby association in bringing Homer Davenport here to lecture, accomplished considerably mora than most persons may appreciate, not that they are unable, merely because the importance of the ocoaison is uncon sciously overlooked. The coming of Da venport was an innovation for Astoria, his lecture offered the best attraction that has been afforded for a long period. The sue of the house was convincing that the efforts of the Library asso ciation were not wholly unappreciated. It is to be hoped that these ladies may be successful in inducing others to come here and with less work. The co-opera tion of the residents here will aid them materially. Editor.
