HILL'S VISIT TO ASTORIA WILL, ARRIVE HERE THURS DAY AFTERNOON CHAMBER OF COMMERCE PREPARING TO RECEIVE AND ENTER TAIN THE PARTY. ' Confirming the news in these col umns on, Sunday morning last), the Astoria Chamber of Commerce is authority for the statement that James J. Hill and party are due to arrive in this city on Thursday evening and will be the guests of the Chamber and the business men of the city. Secretary Whyte .was in communication yesterday with Pres ident Clark, of the North Bank sys tem who was about to start for Spokane to meet the head of the Great Northern and his colleagues and friends, and accompany him to this city on Thursday, and it is set tied that Mr. Hill will be here, ant will probably have something of very definite interest to say. Nothing that he will touchy upon may be forecasted since he has ex pressed a desire for silence until he, himself, shall make the announce ments in question and whether it shall be of immediate moment to this city and section or not, it is to be alive with large concern to As toria and all the people at the mouth of the Columbia. The Chamber of Commerce intends to mark the visit of Mr. Hill by a memento that shall always be of in terest to him, towit, a handsome album filled with all the best views of Astoria and beautifully bound and mounted; which wil be, undoubtedly, appreciated by the great builder c f railways. ' The program for the reception of Mr. Hill and his party will develop today and tomorrow and will be given due publicity in ample time to advise the last man in interest of what is to occur, and when; and this is known, it is conceded that the it suits of the trip hither will be of ex traordinary value to the city and county and section. ATTORNEY SMITH (Continued from page 1) ance was the question of the public wharf on 46th street Dr. Hender son brought up this 'question, by re ferring to certain articles he had seen in the newspapers in reference to the matter; he said he would like to know if the papers were right in their presentation of the trouble that was evidently brewing. Mr. Lebeck, the contractor to whom was awarded the job, was in the room and he arose and said that they apparently were; that he was threatened with injunction procedings and therefore that he would not go ahead with the job. Mr. Lebeck also endeavored to show that he is not bound by con tract to proceed with the work, though his explanation of this mat ter did not seem to carry conviction with it. " -''t Councilman Karinen made a short but rather strenuous talk. He said in substance that if the contractor or the Council was bluffed out of the work now, by one or more of the property owners, that the . city might jusj as well "give up." Mr. Karinen thought the, city might as well fight. "Let us make a test of this," he said. Dr. Logan also wanted the matter fought out to a finish, apparently on the theory ! that i if . the council is "bluffed" out of this "work by a threat of injunction preceding that they will have to take the same bluff in many other cases. But Contractor Lebeck didn't be come very enthusiastic over ;the question of "fight." "' "I am quite willing to go ahead with the contract, providing -the council will stand back of men in the legal." proceedings," he said. "If the council will stand back of me I will go ahead otherwise I won't." The City Attorney: "The council can't stand back of Mr. Lebeck in any legal procedings he may get 'into."" Dr. Logan: "Go ahead and do the work, and then present your bill to the council. Leave it to us to make it right." Dr. Henderson: "Is this council afraid of a bluff?' ;, . . u ; , ? The sentiment among several of the council indicated that they were very near if not quite spoiling for a fight, to see if a property owner could work such a bluff, but when the meeting adjourned nothing defi nite had been done. Mr. Lebeck still had persisted in, his position of be ing willing to go ahead if he was backed up financialy by the city. What seems to be the real legal question involved, was not touched upon during the discussion, though it seems well worthy of considera tion before litigation is jumped into. But if Mr. Lebeck persists in refus ing to go ahead with the work it will evidently be necessary to sue him for failure to perform the undertak ing he ostensibly entered into, or to get some other contractor who will take the job plus a threatened law Meantime Mr, Leheck states that his attorney advises him that he is not bound by the contract to perform the work, and if this be true, there is no contract let at all. ANOTHER SHACK. Dr. Logan brought up a matter of no little importance. He stated that he has been informed that a one- story "shack" is to be , put up on Commercial street near the depot, and he asked if the council is willing that such a structure be permitted to go up. Several replied no. Some one suggested that it may be too late to stop its construction, as it might be built before a properordi- nance can be passed. To this it was replied that a building permit must first e obtained, and that jt will be possible to refuse the permit With this the subject was dropped for the time being. On all sides there seems a persistent demand that some prop er building ordinance be adopted, one that would at least cover the building of shacks in the heart of the city, and the council is likely to do something. It may be somewhat doubtful, however, that a permit can be refused by the auditor for this structure, if one be demanded. SEWER REQUIRED. Councilman Hansen said that he has frequently been appealed to of late in regard to a sewer on West Commercial street. Two new build ings have gone up there, he said, and there is imperative need of the sewer as asked for. A motion to have the city ' engineer and city at torney prepare the proper plans and papers for the building of. such a sewer was adopted. SEWER CONTRACTS. Contracts were also let for the construction of , sewers on Irving avenue, at Eleventh street, this con tract going to C. E. ' Johnson at $348.50; and '"for a sewer on Slst street, Cedar street to the beach, this going to the some contractor at $484. WANT GRADES. The Oregon Coast Electric line, through F. L. Evans, asked the coun cil to establish grades on numerous strets, over which the line will pass out of the city if it be established. The petition for this work is a long one and touches upon many streets, and probably it would be well for property owners along the proposed route to go to the city hall and bc- cme familiar with the grades pro posed. Mr. Evans wanted the council to take, some immediate action whereup on one of the councilmen wanted to know if the street car company had yet deposited its $1000, which is re quired of it in accepting the ordi nance granting it the franchise over certain city streets. It was found that the money has not yet been deposited. The time for depositing it has not yet expired, however. Others of the council thought that everything possible should be done for the proposed line, and the ques tion of the grades was referred to the proper committee. NEW PETITIONS. ' Flora H. Gilman petitioned to ex change burial lot in . old Hillside cemetery for one in Ocean View. Referred with power to act. Seventeen petitioners call the council's attention to what is term ed the "disgraceful, dangerous and impossible" condition of , the side walk on the cast side of , Seventh street, between Franklin and Grand.
