Postmaster John If aim yesterday fik-d a communication with the city auditor to be submitted to the com mon council at its next meeting. The communication is in relation to the Mrect improvement now being done on West Commercial street, on which the rear portion of which Mr. Hahn's home property faces. He allege that the improvement have and will con tinue to Aff great damage to his prop erty and his communication intimates that the action and proceeding by the council in carrying on this street work have not been property Insti tuted or carried out. Mr. Hahn alo placed in the hand of Mr. Han son, the chairman of the committee on street,' a statement of the dam age that have or will result to hi property a a result of thi improve ment. The damage total $2725, and Mr. Hahn segregate them as fol low: Filling 100 by 100 feet, $500 replacing garden soil and manure, $250; relaying sewer on Second street $150; extra grading of street, $1000 damage to lot and fill in front of same, $500; cost of removing extra dirt, $300; incidental expenses, $25. It seems apparent to some of those concerned in the matter that Mr. Hahn is preparing for litigation to conserve what he deem hi right In hi communication Mr. Hahn call attention to the fact that the grade had already been established on this part of the street, and it i be cause a new grade ha been establish cd by improper proceeding or not that the trouble arises. This one fact seems to make Mr. Hahn's position a strong one. It is not difficult to find people who say that the whole improvement is a "bad job" the main complaint being that there was no need for the big fill that is being made. Another intimation is that Mr. Hahn has political enemies who are endeavoring to hit him through the council. His communication in part is as follows: "The street in front of these certain lots was graded by me so as to com ply with the original grade as estab lished by the common council The city charter gives information not only to the taxpayers, but even to the members of the common council, as 10 how to proceed to change a once- cstablishcj grade, and how, and to whom, to assess the damage caused e- any lot or lots by such change of rade. The presumption bcing and the stand is taken by the charter, that the grade after being once established would or should not be changed by the council except by a petition sign ed by a majority . of the property- owners on said street and showing that a great benefit would accrue to them and the public by such a change of grade. "The words 'may assess' as they ap pear in this section of the charter, are to be considered advisory, show ing that the council would be justified by law In fact it being the duty of the common council to assess the damages caused to any lot or lots to the lots benefitted by such change of grade, and to guard the city treasurer against any loss through neglect of charging such damage to lots deriving a great benefit by such change. "This docs not deprive the injured lot owner from collecting damage through the court if the council failed to do their duty. The amount of damage to lots caused by such change of grade cannot be properly estimated when the common council gives the notice pr when they pass the neces sary ordinances, but they do accrue when the actual physical change takes place, as in this case, when the bulk head is completed and the contractor has finished the work and the same Is accepted by the council committee on streets and public ways At this time it is the duty of the common council to give the award and fix the amount of damage to the satisfaction of the lot or lot owners."

More Evidence of Astoria's Prosperity The first day of the Great Demon stration Piano Sale of the Eilers Piano House at 422-424 Commercial street near Tenth, found homes for four of these Highest Grade Pianos now on special sale. Mr. D. W. Thomas, Superintendent of Agencies for the Eilers Piano House, says that it is the best first day's response he has met with any where, and fully expect to sell the whole three carloads within a very short time. The low prices, easy terms, and the best of piano quality offered at this special sale are certainly inducements that no one in need of a piano can resist. Up From Seaside Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Lawlor spent the day in Astoria yesterday, coming up from their Seaside home on the early morning train. Mr. Lawlor de nies that he ever gave that "Erin Go Bragh" sweater to Andy Brunhold, for a wedding present; that he has it still, and proposes to keep it as a memento of the days of his bachelor hood; but that he did give him "an ould pair of green slippers" as a wed ding gift; only the telephone manager isn't Irish enough to dare wear them, Mrs. Lawlor is quite happy in her new cottage-home down by the seas, which they call "The Limit," because when their friends from Astoria, or" else where, get to the Limit, they've got to stop; and that's a generous bit of Irish hospitality in the concrete form,' anyway one looks at it. f ; M' Save Money.
