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

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-

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.

Davenport Vlaita the Canneries.
Homer Davenport, who arrived in the
city yesterday, is the guest of Mr. ami
Mrs. Frank Patton. Yesterday Mr
Davenport and Mr. Patton visited the
different points of Interest, spending a
few hours at the salmon canneries. Al
though Mr. Davenport was born at Sil
verton and worked at Portland for some
time, he had never before been in As
toria, except when passing through on
his way to San Francisco. He said he
had always entertained the idea that
Astoria was just tumbled down fish
ing town and that he was happily sur
prised to find so prosperous and busy a
city. The trip to the canneries wa
interesting for the famous cartoonist.
