unloaded from barge. The drydock
when built will be of great advantage
to Astoria, and it's completion will be

Will Not Sign Ordinance. It is re
ported on good authority that Mayor
Wise has definitely decided not to sign
the new ordinince passed unanimously
on last Monday night by the city coun
cil, providing for the entering into a
contract with the Astoria Electric Com
pany, to light the city f6r five years.
According to the information, the May
or does not believe that such a long
term contract is advisable, as in his
opinion the city may in the near future
be able to operate and own it's own
plant. The Mayor is allow cd ten days
in which to sign the ordinance from
the passage by tho council. If Mayor
Wise does not sign the bill, the mat
ter can only be passed over his veto
by a two thirds vote of the council.
It ia considered probable that had the
council passed tho three year contract,
the mayor would have signed the,
measure.
