PAVEMENT WAR IS
UP IN COURT
Third Street Property-Owners
Fight Against Paying Assess
ment on Street Work.
ALLEGE THAT MATERIAL
USED WAS VERY FAULTY
Declare Work Waa Not Imp
ment, bat Detriment to the Street,
and Accuse City Officials of Over
charging for the Paving.
"When wss this Improvement made?"
asked Judge Oantenbetn la the circuit
court this morning.
"We contend that an Improvement
wes never made; but It was accepted in
December. 1008," replied Attorney R. R.
Dunlway, referring to Third street from
Main to Qllsan.
The suit begun by the owners of
property abutting on the street In ques
tion for an Injunction to restrain the
sale of property on the street to pay as
sessments earns up for hearing this
morning, and was ssslgned to Judge
Oantenbeln.
The property owners assert the ma
terial used in the pavement was of such
poor quality, and the workmanship waa
ao Inferior that the atreet did not last
long enough for the proposed assess
ment to be made. The complaint
states that the work does not comply
with the specifications In any manner,
and that the street Is a worthless as
phalt street. It Is alleged that the
street Is no an Improvement over the
pavement that was on the sreet be (pre.
and that It la a damage to abutting
property Instead of a benefit. The
property owners charge also that the
contractor and city officials have at
tempted to charge the property owners
for more square yards of new material
than were placed on the atreet.
Judgment of the court declaring all
! the proceedings invalid Is asked also
on the ground that the resolution au
thorising the improvement was not tn-
valid because only 9 of 11 members of
the council were present when It was
passed, and the chief of polio had not
notified the absent members to be pres
ent as required by the charter.

Yesterday Was a Busy Day at
Piano Store Sixth and
There Will Not Be One or the $190 Pianos Left by Saturday Night
They Are Too Good to Stay Long Unsold Five of Them
Went Yesterday $5 a Month Pays for a Plana
We were very mtich pleased to receive a letter from Astoria yesterday, saying:
"The Journal could not afford to carry an advertisement which would materially mis
represent the facts, and for that reason I feel justified in asking you to ship me one of
those 9190.00 pianos." As far as we are concerned there isn't a particle of
doubt but what the people will be more than pleased with the piano, for it is worth more it
isn't a hundred and ninety-dollar piano by any means ITS A $300 PIANO FOR flOO.
A gentleman from Forest Grove 'phoned us yesterday morning to ship him one of
these pianos and to draw on him for the amount We'll bet two to one he will be satisfied,
tOO. .
A lady who had practically decided on a piano in an uptown store for two hundred and
eighty-four dollars, selected one of our 9190 pianos the minute she saw it, saying at the
time, "It is .fully the equal of the other piano in both tone and appearance and I am saving
a hundred dollars besides."
There is no getting away from it, the value is in these pianos. We are making this
extraordinarily low price to advertise our business. It is certainly good advertising, for
the pianos are worth more than we ask.
