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.
