Stop th Slides In conversation
with a prominent resident of Upper
Astoria, he Informed an Astorlan rep
resentative that tho only way to atop
the slide In that section of the city
Is to build a large drain to carry
off the water from three large swamps
immediately back of the resident por
tion of Grand Avenue When It rains
hard, these swamps are filled with
water, with no outlet, and It seeps
through the ground, causing the slides.
It is probable the residents of Upper
Astoria will get up a petition asking
the council to construct the drain.
Tax Levy At tho last meeting of
the common council a motion was made
that a special tax levy of one and one
hnlf mills be made for building the
new engine house. Since then, con
siderable opposition has been made to
the special levy The county court are
anxious to complete the court house
next yenr, and make a sufficient levy
the special levy. The county court Is
so It can award tho contract this
ness f(r commencing work early in
the .spring. The levy will depend uopn
the city levy, ns they do not desire
to make tho total levies any higher
this year than last. The city levied
n, special tax of seven mills last year
to pay for the new city hall, and
the county court desires to make that
levy this year for the court house,
Ini if the city levies a special tax,
It will cut the court house levy .down
that much.

and offer them as bargains, but such stuff
is dear at any price, even though , it looks
