Correct.
Our Oregon coleinporary, Thk Asto
kiak, is evidently not very observing in
its perusal of the rural press, judging
from the credit given to an article under
the caption of tho "Willapah Valley,' in
last week's paper. The article appeared
in the Journal two months ago, and was
original. The Seattle Herald appropri
ated it for the Christmas edition without
giving due credit, and now TnE Astobiak
oomes out and gives the Herald credit
for the same. If an item is worthy of
reproduction it certainly is worthy of
credit! Pacific Journal. "
'"That is so and if the editor of the
Journal would practice what he preaches
and credit The Astobian with what he
copies from this paper he would be more
consistent. The Astobian always tries
to give credit, and in the instance re
ferred to credited the Herald in which
paper the item appeared as original.

judge, treasurer, and auditor and clerk,
for the quarter ending Dec 81. 1883, and
year of 1883, were read and referred to
appropriate committees.

iaiiurc 01 jx. u. jviunyy 10 quaiuy, aim
for the unfinished term of Robert Car

Mayor Hi'hn appointed Councilmen

examine tho certificates of newly elected
officers; they did so and n ported J. W.
Hume elected to the office of mayor; and
A. A. Cleveland and Thos. Dealy, elected
to the office of councilman from the first
and second wards respective.
There being no further regular busi
ness before the meeting, Mayor Hahn
arose from the seat which ho has so ably
filled during the past two years and made
THE FOLLOWING ADDIIKSS:
"As this is the last time that 1 preside
here, allow me to thank j'ou. gentlemen,
for the support you have rendered in the
able maimer with -which you have assist
ed in devising and enforcing the laws for
the government of our city. Yon have
worked faithfully and toiled arduously in
the discharge of" you duty, and I hope
this duty h:is not been a burden, but has
proved a pleasure to you.
The last two yean has seen many im
provements in our town and many
changes for the better have taken place.
The rate of taxation has not been higher
than in former years, yet with it you
have accomplished more, because "the
money has been appropriated in a judi
cious and honest maimer, consequently
the financial standing of the city is good,
and the credit of the city is" above par.
It would take too long to enumerate all
the improvements that have been made
during last year. I will leave that to his
honor, the incoming mayor. Hoping
that in the future you may work jis har
moniously as we have doiie in the past, I
thank you once more and now declare
this meeting adjourned."
Upon its conclusion he stepped down
and escorted tho newly-elected maj'or,
J. "W. Hume, to his seat, and the hour of
noon having arrived. Messrs. Cleveland,
Dealey and Stone, the newly-elected
councilmen. took their seats.
Mayor Hume called the council to
erder: the following gentlemen re
sponding to theif names: Case. Cooper,
Cleveland, Dealej-, Stone and Trenchard.
He then delivered an address of which
THE FOLLOWING IS A COPV.
Councilmen anil Fellow Citizens: In
obedience to our municipal organic law,
the city charter, and agreeable to the pre
cedents established bynry worthy prede
cessors, it devolves upon me, as mayor of
Astoria, to present for your consideration
such action as the general welfare seems
to me to require.
Although during the past year the
calamity, of a great fire has added
its attendant troubles to our expe
rience, we, to-day, enjoy, under the blef s
iugs of a kind Providence, health, pros
perity, peace and good order.
That the administration of the past
two years has been proper and wise, is
evident from its endorsement by the
people at our recent municipal election.
It is true that the passing of the twelve
o'clock ordinance, in the opinion of some
of our fellow-citizens, works a hardship
upon their business, but it is equally true
that the ordinance was right and neces
sary at tho time of its passage.
Our streets are now in better condition
than ever before. There are, however, a
few places on Water and West Eighth
streets which need immediate uttention,
and some necessary improvements on a
few others to be mentioned later.
Our firo department retains its former
promptness, energy and discipline. Its
condition, 111 fact, was never better: its
needs I will presently mention.
Our jail is in fair condition, v,iih the
exception of the water closets, which
should be repaired at one?. By way of
improvement there should be constructed
at a early date in the large cell six bunks
on each of two of the walls, sis tho iloor
is always more or less wet, and at present
all beds have to be made on the floor.
Tho city has purchased new cemetery
grounds at Clatsop, containing seventy
three and a fraction acres, at a cost of
over nine hundred dollars. No improve
ments have yet been made, but an ad
ditional sum of more than nine hundred
dollars has been expended in making a
road between Skipanon landing and the
cemetery, which f think should be in
cluded in the valuation of said propertv,
asit was a necessary expenditure for tho
utility of the cemetery.
The financial condition of the city is as
follews: On January 1, 1883, there was a
cash balance in the treasury of $12,094.87.
During the year the recoipts from all
sources as appears from the auditor's and
treasurer's reports have been as belew:

All of which leaves a net cash

' It appears from this that during the
past year the city has gono behind $8,
185.47. the most of which, however, has
been invested in permanent, necessary,
and, in part, unavoidable improvements,
owing to the fire, etc, which makes on the
whole, a fair showing in a business point
of view.
BECOMMENDATIONS.
Proceeding now from the general re
view of our corporate condition, I proceed
to recommendations, and first will call
your attention to the city charter.
The first thing that seems to ba of
doubtful value is that part of Sec 40, of
article VI, which requires the mayor to
communicate as follews: (The section
referred to contains a clause relative to
the communication by the mayor to the
conncil of a general statement of muni
cipal affairs).
Oftener than otherwise it may happen
that the mayor-elect comes to lus official
chair from the routine of priate busi
ness in a measure ignorant of the imme
diate wants rnd condition of the city,
and if, from any reason, the annual re
port of its officers should fail to bo on
time, ho would have verv little reliable
matter from which to construct his mes
sage. It would be better to relieve the
ma3'or from this difficult dutj when ho
enters upon the duties of his office, but
to require him to set forth in full all
that may be required at the succeeding
annual meetings during his official term.
In the second place the amendment by
the legislature of the charter in October,
18S0, has not, in my opinion, operated
beneficially to the city.
As tho law now stands, tho city road
tax is turned over to the county for gen
eral disbursement from which the city
receives no practical benefit. This should
be changed so that this fund, amounting
to about $3,500, could be expended on the
street crossings in tho city.
Such a measure would be of more ben
efit to the county than the present, and
would savo the city additional taxation
necessary to keep these crossings in re
pair, as the money already spent on coun
ty roads seems to have resulted in no es
pecial good to either city or county.
In view of all of which, and perhaps
other things which may have escaped my
notice, I would recommend that the city
attornej be instructed to critically exam
ine the entire charter and report, so that
each proposed change can be thoroughly
examined and put into proper shapo to bo
brought before the next legislature by
our representative and senator.
As to tho ordinances, I will say that in
my opinion the provisions of ordinance
No. 190, unwisely prevents the use of
double terra cotta flues. I would recom
mend that this ordinance be so amended
as to allow the use of double terra cotta
flues which are less liable to crack than
brick chimneys in buildings over the wa
ter, and in docks where sudden jars are
caused by tho contact of steamloats and
other vessels, and which are considered
equullj- as safe as brick and mortar in
other cities and by insurance companies.
I would further recommend that the
council take into consideration the feasi
bility of constructing three largo cisterns,
one at West 7th and Wall streets, one at
No. One's engine house, and one at Main
and Court streets. Before deciding upon
the size of said isterns, it would be well
to consult with the chief engineer of the
fire department.
1 would call your attention to the fact
that the fire traps now existing, being on
a level with the streets, are frequently
difficult to find in the haste and darkness
of a night alarm, and would recommend
that these bo elevated six or eicht inches
above tho street level with sloping sides, 1
so as 10 do msianuy uiscovereu, anu yet
so improved as not to obstruct tho
streetsr
The sound of the bell has been
obstructed by the neighboring build
ings since the removal of the tower
to its present location, and in order to
improve its usefulness for sounding
alarms it will be necessary to increase the
height of tho tower some" fifteen feet. I
think this should be done as soon as
practicable.
Concerning the several companies or
the fire department I will say, No. One's,
realizing the disadvantages under which
they have hitherto worked, have volun
teered to lodge six of their men in the
engine house, providing the city will
build tho necessary sleeping bunks. In
my opinion the money would be well in
vested. No. Two's need two additional
doors for hose carriages, one on each side
of the large door, in order to enable
them to get the carriages out of the room
in haste without delaving the engine.
The speed of Alert Hook and Ladder
Co., No. 1, has been reduced by tho
springing of tho axle-tree of their truck.
With a slight expenditure of money it
could be stiffened and strongtbed or re
placed by a new axle-tree, which would
increase the efficiency and lessen tho
labor of that spirited company. Tho
needs of the several companies I will not
take time to mention, but would recom
mend that tho committeo on fire and
water be instructed to visit tho foremen
respectively, in company with the chief
engineer of the fire department, and as
certain the details in full, making prompt
recommendations to the conncil.
Your attention is also called to the fact
that from the washing down of the hills,
the channel in front of our docks is constant-
and gradually filling up. Somo
action in tho near future providing bulk
heads should be taken, or it will, before
many years, be too late to preserve our
commercial facilities.
As the health and cleanliness of our
city depends greatlj upon the condition
of tho sewers, I would recommend that
tho street superintendent bo instructed to
give them his especial care; that he be
required to report from timo to timo to
tho committeo on streets and public
ways whenever and wherever the sower
age facilities are insufficient, and that
they investigate promptly and act accord
ing to tho necessities.
Tho eastern portion of the city being
deficiently lighted 1 would recommend
that coal oil lamps be placed at regular
intervals on Cedar, Salmon and Hemlock
streets; also ono lamp on Main street at
Mr. Twombly's residence.
I would recommend that tho street
superintendent be instructed to report to
the conncil at his earliest opportunity
where sidewalks are necessary, and that
that body order the necessary improve
ments in that direction.
I would also recommend that action be
taken toward the connection of Jefferson
and Astor streets with Cedar street. Tho
following streets should be replanked
within tho following limits: Olney, from
tho water front to Astor; Jefferson, re
planked and raised to tho level of Jeffer
son and Astor; Main, replanked from Che
namus to Astor, and Squemoqua from
Cass to Washington.
Tho condition of our Clatsop cemetery
has been previously considered, and is
generauy unaersiooa. in this connec
tion 1 would recommend that a certain
portion be designated for sale to our va
rious benevolent societies and nrivate cit
izens; that such portion bo sold by the
acre or lot to the highest cash bidders.
successively; that the revenue thus de
rived be used for tho improvement of
the remaining part unsold. I would
further add that such action would be
practicable, as several of our benevolent
lodges have already taken action for pro
curing cemeteries for their own use.
The development of our city now re
quires a harbor master. No provisions
having been made for this office in the
charter I would recommend that the com
mitteo on health and police be instructed
to take this matter under consideration
and draft and submit an ordinance de
fining, limiting and setting forth tho
qualifications, duties, resrxmsibiliriea and
compensation of such officer, and fully
regulating all things in connection with
sud office.
In conclusion I will remark that tho
number of subjects treated and details
mentioned in this message, have, per
haps, been greater than are ordinarily
presented by an incoming mavor. My
aim has been tn rnvAr fnliv nil ncc.n
points. And I feel assured that in most
cases tho council will consider the fore
going positions well taken. We must
not overlook nor forget that the great
tendency in all young and growing cities
is toward too many improvements and
a steadily increasing indebtedness. While
it may be difficult, perhaps impossible,
for the necessary wants of rn expanding
community to be supplied without in
creasing the corporato burdens, it is
essential that tho strictest economy be
exercised in all departments, and that no
legitimate rovenue to the city be lost.
Good and business-like government is re
quired at our hands, and I have everv
confidence in your wisdom, and in a har
monious administration.
At the conclusion of the above address
Mayor Hume announced
