what is more they are losing friends

If the excavations and foundation
pillars on the Twelfth street site are
being held over this city as a club, for
the exaction of liberal toll in the way
of political concessions next year, It
is time the people should know it and
take steps accordingly; and it is also
time that the trustees were apprised
of the major determination here to
resist any such juggling. We are not
asking the Weinhard Estate to do
anything they have not already stud
ied out and practically endorsed; but
we are asking them to
or get out of the way of others who
will do it. Astoria is tired of the
palpable cinch. It is, at last, plainly
apparent; and the Weinhards will
lose far less by proceeding with their
enterprise, than in nursing it as a
"big stick", financially, politically, and
commercially. ,
