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

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

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

of its make, will be in operation. II

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.
