HEALTH OFFICER ON TOUR OF THE CITY Restaurants and Butcher Shops Found in Good Shape by Dr. Reames, All of Them Dr., Clara Reames, the city health officer, yesterday made a tour of in spection of the various butcher shops and also the restaurants of the city, and in addition to this made a per sonal inspection of one or two othe places where it was thought an inves tigation was desirable. "I was surprised," said Dr. Reames, "quite agreeably surprised, to find that the conditions in and about the restaurants and butcher shops were really good. Of course it was to be expected that in some of the places the conditions would be all that could be desired, but it really was refresh ing to find that the cleanly and whole some conditions were the rule and not the exception." ; Accompanied by Police Office; Fred Oberg, Dr. Reames started ou early yesterday morning on the trij, of investigation and first went to the restaurants. One of the principal restaurants was found to be in really as nice and cleanly a condition as her visit had been anticipated, while among the Japanese places only one was found to be in a condition that was not complimentary. This was the Tokio restaurant, and there it was found that the food and kitchen were cleanly enough; but the plan of hand ling the slops was bad. Notice was left that the slops must be handled i better shape. One little Jap restaur antthe "U. S." Dr. Reames says she found as bright and clean as r new pin; everywhere it was just as cleanly as soap and water and great care- could make it The "U. S." res taurant ought to have a good patron age. Generally speaking, the Japanese restaurants were found just as nice and wholesome as the others, with several of them in a noticeably good condition. i "The butcher shops, too," said th health officer, "were in good shape, a far as I could ascertain. They .'were really much better than I had expect ed to find after the criticisms that have been made. The smoke houses were all right, from a standpoint of cleanliness. Whether the meats in some of the shops contained preserva tives or not I do not know, as an in vestigfiation of that nature is without my province. In regard to the sau sage machines, the only "complaint I would make is that the wooden tubs are certain to get in dirty shape. Wooden tubs should not be used. One of the places has a galvanized iron, tub, and that is presumably the kind that should be used." The proprietor of a hotel near the city hall Was notified for the second time that a manure pile in connection with the place must be cleaned u and kept clean. It is said there is ? cow kept in the hotel stable that ney er sees the daylight. Apparently ther is no ordinance to prevent cattle be ing kept right in the very heart o the city. Dr. Reames calls attention to th great need of a pure food inspector, as she has no authority 'along that line, and though the complaint of rot ten fruit and of "Freezum" being used on meats are common, yet apparently the city authorities seem to take no H DDfiD LilO fill I IVUULLI II TUC HO III MIL RIG CONTRACT QUESTIONS RAISED ABOUT " THE LEGAL STATUS OF THE MATTER. An interesting question may arise as to the precise legal value of the ac tion taken by the common council Thursday night in relation to the Irv ing avenue improvement, when the council as a whole adopted the rec ommendation of the special commit tee. The report of the special com mittee states that it "arrived at the conclusion that the work should stop, and that the contractor should be giv en an extension of the time for one year," and so on. Also that he should be paid for his work, within certain reservations. Has this acceptance of the com mittee's report and recommendations any binding effect, and if so, to what extent? These are questions that may yet arise. Announcement was made yesterday that the next step in the matter will be that an ordinance containing all of the salient features of the committee's report will be drafted and introduced at the next meeting of the council If the council should refuse to pass this ordinance, Or if the council should pass it and the mayor should veto it what then would be the result? If the action of the council Thurs 1 . V . aay nignt was enective, there is ap parently no need for an ordinance, except to endorse and ratify it. If the report had no precise and binding fas-.

It is under stood that recently complaints have been .made to the federal authorities at Portland about certain conditions here and there may be a big surpris some day. Particular request is made by Dr. Reames that all complaints should bf made directly to her, and not to others. She will respond to any com plaint at once if made in the proper manner. AT THE GRAND. This afternoon another pleasant resort will throw its doors open to the Astoria public, to-wit, "the Grand", the latest moving-picture house in the city. It is situated one door west of the clothing store of Messrs. Luukinen & Harrison, on Commercial street. The place has been elegantly fitted up, with every comfort, and one of the finest ma chines on the coast, and the only one of its make, will be in operation. II lustrated songs will be a regular fea ture bf the , entertainments and the new house will at once take its place among the popular resorts of the city. A Record Breaker in the Settlement of Insurance Claims. P." J. S. McManamna, father of Emmet McManamna, recently deceas ed, received the following telegram, yesterday, from the Western Life In demnity Company, of Chicago, III., in which his son held a policy for life insurance.

Come In and Inspect Our New Fall Suits and Millinery Now on Hand Jaloffs, The Style Store 537 Commercial Street Covering the same ground, and in that event the whole matter would be pre cisely in the position as if nothing had been done at all. There's when, the contractor's worries might start. It is probable, however, that the acceptance of the committee's report by the council does carry with it a certain binding effect, but it is hardly probable that It is binding on all the matters covered. Again, it may be binding as between the contractor and the council, but not binding as between the council and the taxpay er. In other words, the situation: seems to contain the promise of pretty entanglement in the event tha any litigation should arise. The charter provides, for example that to extend the time on a contrac for improvements an ordinance is re quisite; also an ordinance is required to pay out money to a contractor Yet the contractor, apparently on the implied or actual assurances given him, has virtually thrown up his con tract, and probably, he -feels that he need not rely on the wording of the committee's report entirely to bear him out in this. A study of the com mittee's report, which was drawn b the city attorney, Mr. Abercrombie shows it to be worded and conceived with the greatest care, however, an the natural conclusion of the whole matter would appear to be that the contractor, Mr. Goodin, may not ba as free from obligations in the vexed matter as he would doubtless like to be. If is understood that of the $23,000 the total of the Irving improvements contract, he has been paid all except about $2500. If the taxpayers in the district were to insist upon the com pletion of the work according to the plans and specifications, which of course call for- a .complete and dur aoie jod, ana the council were to carry out the wishes of the tax payers, the contractor might find himself in a pretty pickle, with the whole onus of the big slide on hi? shoulders. There were no marked develop ments in the matter yesterday. 30 cups of a delicious drink 25c m Sunday Excursions to Long Beach. Steamer Nahcotta leaves O. R. & N. dock at 6s5 a. m. daily.
