STATE ESTIMATES TOP STREET COS To rebuild Commercial street through the burned area of Astoria, a distance of 2150 feet, the estimate of the state highway department as to cost In round numbers" is $175,000. This esti mate, which includes pavement and concrete retaining walls, is based on a street 80 feet wide from property line to property line. In the judgment of the' highway commission the wide street would be better business. In addition to restoring the street through the burned district, it is , proposed to improve the approach into the city from the east. The cost-of this is es timated at $70,000. . The highway commission will do the work, provided it receives a guarantee from Governor-elect Pierce and a ma jority of the legislature that the work will be made legal by the next legis lature. ' It is hoped to have this guarantee by December 29, when the highway commission is to meet in adjourned session. To improve the highway from the eastern boundary of the city to the Youngs Bay bridge, the estimated cost is approximately $500,000. In making the estimates of cost, the highway department has not included engineering and contingencies. To provide funds for the work of restoration, it has been suggested by the highway commission that the one quarter of a mill state road tax be di verted by the legislature to the pur pose. This tax yields approximately $250,000 per year.
