as city auditor Jewett called the roll.
At 7:31 councilman Carruthers took
his seat. At 736 councilman Robb
and city attorney Noland took their
seats. At 7:43 the clerk finished read
ing the minutes of the previous meet
ing. The mayor congratulated the here
tofore absent members of the council
on their improved health. The reg
ular business was at once taken up.
A petition of D.H.Welch to the
board of equalization regarding al
leged unjust assessment, was read
and referred to ways and means com
mittee. A communication from W. W.
Parker regarding the same matter was
similarly referred.
Councilman Welch moved that the
names of all objecting parties be read
and the several papers referred to the
committee on ways and means.
Councilman Cleveland objected to
such procedure. Councilman Welch
stated why ho desired to have that
done. The names were read as fol fel fol
eows: E. P. Parker, D. K. Warren,
J. B. Higgins, E. A. Noyes, Astoria
Packing Co., M. Rogers, A. Montgom
ery ,.F. J. Taylor.
The mayor ordered that the assess
ment roll be brought into the council
room. The clerk did so. Tho mayor
then read the law regardiug the
proper course fsr objectors to the
assessment to follow in making such
objections. t
Councilman Welch's motion was then
passed, and on motion tho assessment
roll was referred to committee on
ways and means.
Tho committee to whom was re
ferred the auditor's and street super'
intendent's reports, reported, finding
the reports correct; report of com
mute adopted.
An ordinance declaring tho proba
ble cost of improving West Ninth
street from Water to Berry street,was
passed under suspension of rules.
An ordinance fixing tho compensa
tion of the city attorney, was read
first and second times.
An ordinance making it unlawful
for animals to run at large in tho city
of Astoria, was read first and secoud
times and laid over.
Councilman Cleveland got off a
neat little joke about the ordinance ,
amid general hilarity, and the city
attorney relieved the auditor by read
ing the West Ninth street ordinance
for him for second reading.
The ordinance setting the compen
sation of the city attorney nt $50 a
month, was read second time. Coun
cilman Bergman wanted to know it it
was a question of tariff. He and
councilman Cleveland thought that
if one be reduced, reduce all the salaries-Ex-Mayor
Hume was jnvited to a
seat inside the bar.
The ordinance under discussion
was then laid over.
An ordinance declaring the proba
ble cost of improving Cmcomly street

time and manner of improving West
Gth street was read third timo and
passed.
An ordinance making appropria
tion of $75 a month to Rescue
No 2 for the maintenance of the
horses, was considered to be on sec
ond reading. Councilman' Velch
made somo remarks relativo to the
stand he took on the matter.
He read from manuscript, taking
the ground that the proposed appro
priation was not warrantedby the facts
in the case, that it was extravagant,
and that the taxes were oiready men
enough, and that capital could not
be attracted to the place if taxes
were forced up any higher..
Councilman Cleveland stated that
he had a stiff neck and begged that
the door of tho council, room be
closed. The mayor detailed officer
Beasley to perform this duty ; he there
upon instrncted the janitor to that
effect and the door was closed.
Councilman Bergman opposed the
passage of tho erdinance: he be
lieved that while the fire department
should receivo all proper en
couragement and be properly sus
tained, that this request was to much
in the way of additional expense to
the taxpayers.
Councilman Cleveland said ho sup
posed he was expected to say some
thing, and did so, favoring the passage
of the ordinance. Councilman Robb al
so favored thepassageof the ordinance
Councilman Carruthers said'he would
oppose the ordinance and did so in a
brief speech.
Councilman Sherman said he didn't
believe that it was a good move and
would oppose tho ordinauce.
The ordinance was then lost by the
following vote, aye, Cleveland, Robb;
no, Bergman, Sherman, Welch, Car
ruthers. Tho following claims were ordered

the council, was amended by coun
cilman Cleveland that ho appear at
the v?Xl meeting of the council, and
was'iassed.
i. resolution relative to the im
provement of Wall street, was
passed.
A long discussion then ensued
about tho meetings of the board of
equalization, as to time and place of
meeting, it being finally settled that
they meet when they get ready.
City attorney Noland, reported in
reference to the extension of Che
namus street, that he had interviewed
Messrs. Trullinger and Bowlby, and

man they would let the council know

The Astoria postoflice some time
ago rose from the fourth class to the
third 'class. It now rises from, a
third clas3 to a second class office.
The business for the year ending to
morrow aggregates over 88,000. so that
for thd fiscal year beginning,July.,lst,
'88, the Astoria postoflice will .be a
second class office. The next thing
in order is to increase that $8,000 to
S10,000 during the coming "year.
Then we enn have n .carrier service.
It we had a carrier service the Bfreets"

were numbered the cowbells 'would

ceased jangling people visitingthere;
wouldn't go back to tho whito' settle

do so. -By all means let the $8,000

Insurance.
Sjstem of
"Here is something that may be a cari
osity to you." It proved to be an in
surance policy issued by the Lloyds of
London, Eng., for $34,000. Qne of its
peculiarities was that it boro GC signa
tures, opposite which were placed various
amounts, ranging from $250 to $1,000.
On one comer of tho first page the
head of queen Victoria met tho eye in tho
shapo of a 5 stamp. On tho other was
a circle, in the center of which was an
anchor, emblematic probably of tho
wishes of the signers that no disaster
wonld cause the payment of a loss.
"Yon naturally wonder why so many
namo3 were signed. Well, I can tell yon.
Tho Lloyds is virtually a great board of
trade, composed of what-, they call un
derwriting -members, who buy their
seats in it tho same as tho brokers
do in the New York stock exchange.
When application is made for insurance
the object to be insured is written on tbo
blackboard and the members bid for tho
risks.-the sameTas brokers do .for stocks,
each member becoming responsible for-
the amount be laces or the nsK and re
ceiving bis share of tho premiums.
"ThejLloyda office ia .situated in tho
Wall street of London, and when inside
of tho chamber, from the bustle, excito
raonfr and nproary a person wonld suppose
himself to be in the New York stock ex
change." "But why Uo you insuro in an English
company?', ,
""For many reasons. Tho Loyds is
solid and reliable. It makes no differ
ence in a vessel's rating whether she bo
old or new, and there is no redaction on
that account. The particular average is
qnly 2 instead of 5 per cent as in Ameri
can companies. Now we only insure
acunst fire and collision, and tho great
point 'of advantage in tho Lloyds is
that if wo have a collision with anotber
vessel and we are nt fault, under this
policy the Lloyds not only pays the dam
age to our vessel, but 75 per cent of the
damage sustained by tho one with which
we collide, including tho damage to her
contents, whatever they may be. You
see, this insurance 'covers anything wo
may carry,' whether it be merchandise or
baggage. as.Well as the Vessel, and makes
it an object to use tho Lloyds for insur--alice."
