Cheerful and Authoritative Paul Wcssinger, of the Weinhard trusteeship, passed through this city on Sunday evening, on his way to the metropolis, from Seaside, and in course of a conversation with Norris Staples, of this city, said that "with out any sort of failure that could be anticipated, the work on the fine Weinhard-Astoria hotel would be be gun in the early spring and that it would proceed to completion without interruption." Mr. Wessinger said that ther had been numerous delays in the past, but that things were now so shaped that as soon as the .brick could be gotten out and hauled Ho the site, and stowed ready for use on the big structure, that nothing would be allowed to interfere with the enter prise. He said these things to quiet all unauthorized comment in the mat-j ter, and coming from such a source they may be considered final and ex act. The estate people intend to use local brick and have waited long and patiently upon the Astoria Clay Pro ducts Company, which has just open ed up its fine plant, and is now mak ing brick steadily. ' Water Commission At an adjourned meeting of the water commission last night the bid of W. A. Goodin to place not less than 5000 yards of earth in the ra vine north of the reservoir was re jected. Mr. Goodin's bid was for 35 cents a cubic yard and was the only one offered. J. G. Kelley, of Port land, the consulting engineer, submit ted a plan for strengthening the north side of the reservoir, for. which the 5000 cubic yards of earth had been advertised for Mr. Keller's plan con templates the placing of drains there and to make a small fill, which prob ably can be done by wheelbarrows, and this work would hardly cost more than a couple of hundred dollars. The- commission decided to act on this-plan. On the northside of the reservoir a small slide has apparently started in the earth used as an em bankment, and this is where the work is to be done. The main purpose of the meeting last night was to consid er the plans and specifications pre pared by Mr. Kelley for the proposed new 10,000,000 gallon 'reservoir. He submitted four distinct "plans, all to be formed of re-enforced concrete and each to cost approximately $70,000. The commission discussed the various plans submitted, and finally voted to request Mr. Kelley to also submit plans for a 20.000,000 gallon reservoir, to be constructed of re-enforced con crete. The plans for a 20,000,000 gal lon reservoir to be formed of earth, as submitted by the former consulting engineer, called for an estimated ex pens of from $90,000 to $96,000, and evidently if one can be made of re enforced concrete at a sum not great ly exceeding this the committee may favor it.
