POSTMASTER APPARENTLY IS
PREPARING FOR LITIGATION
OVER STREET REPAIRS.
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
