483 Commercial St., Astoria, Or.
Martin Foard and Frank Stoke-,
yesterday let a contract to Fred
enckson Bros, to construct a new
foundation for the Foard & Stokes
hall on Exchange street, now used
as the armory by the First Company
ft is probable that the work will
consist largely in strengthening thi
present foundations.
So seriously have the foundations
been affected by the Irving slide, is
explained in the Astorian of Sunday
morning, that Mr. t-oard became ap
prehensive that the structure might
even fall if immediate step were not
Uaken to prevent. The building it
self is strong and well built, of
course, but the movement of- the
ground has caused the supporting
pile to bend until several tier are
standing at an angle of perhaps 80
degree. It also looks as if the
ground "at the rear of the building
has been rising to an extent discern
ible to the naked eye. The theorv
advanced by Mr. Tee and another
civil engineer who examined the
structure is that earth from the top
of the slide has been carried sub
tcrraneously out under the tide lands
and a slight part of the bay, coming
to the surface under the building.
One gentleman who has property
in the locality state that this theorv
is incorrect, in his opinion, but it
appears plausible and is accepted by
the owners of the building.
Frank Stokes came down from
.Portland yesterday for the purpose
of looking the building over, and
later in the day he and Mr. Foard let
the contract -
Out around 35th street there is
also serious trouble with the Irving
improvement. For blocks along that
portion of the city the Irving work
seemed to have started a movement
in the ground in direct proximity to
the avenue. Henry Lumpus, whose
house faces on Irving at 35th street,
will be compelled to more his house.
it is said. It is also stated that an
other property owner in that section
will also have to move his house to
save it. Such is the movement of
the ground in that section that
planks are doubling up. There has
been much trouble with the water
pipes, also. In answer to inquiries,
Superintendent Johnson of the wat
er department stated yesterday that
the water pipes keep "buckling" up
along at 34th and Harrison. While
there had been a slisht movement
there heretofore, Mr. Johnson says it
Is three times as great now. It has
been necessary to shorten the water
pipe on 34th street two feet this
fall. According to all who nave
knowledge of the conditions, all this
trouble has been caused bv the im
provement of Irvinir avenue. For
tunately the trouble is purelv local
and in no case can extend over any
wide area.

POLL TAX COLLECTOR'S
DAY IS OVER
TERM EXPIRED YESTERDAY,
THOUGH COUNTY COURT
MAY EXTEND IT.
Dudley Blount, the official poll tax
collector, yesterday ' appealed to
Howard Brownell, the prosecuting
attorney, for warrants for the arrest
'of four men who had both failed and
refused to pay their poll tax. Mr.
Brownell, not 'wanting to rush the
men into trouble, called each of them
up by 'phone and asked if they
were willing to pay up-'-and notified
them that in the event that the mon
ey was not forthcoming instanter it
would be his plain duty to issue the
warrants. Three of the four at once
"got busy" and handed over the casn,
while the fourth seemed to be in
doubt.
If his $3 is not forthcoming the
warrant will be issued for his arrest.
, While yesterday was the last dav
of the time set for the collection of
the poll taxes it is probable that Mr
Blount will ask the county court to
extend the time for a week or more
to the end that he may (ret in some
more of the money that he has his
eyes on.
It is said that hardly one-third of
the money has been gathered that
should be, though it is also said that
Mr. Blount has made a far better
showing this year than- has been
made for a long time.
Next year it is proposed to 'Vet
after the rlehnquents in even a hard
er manner. Of course if the county
court extends the time for a week or
so there is still time for many of the
delinquents to be seen, and it looks
as if the collector is srettine in a
mood to ask for warrants against all
those who don't pay up promptly.
