Council Meeting
The regular meeting of the city coun
cil was held last night. Mayor Crosby
was In the chair and councllmen Berg
man, Webber, McGregor, Welch, Lang
worthy, O'Hara, Thomson, and Lewis,
were In attendance.
The minutes of the last regular meet
ing were rsid and adopted.
. , There were no petitions or memor
ials. A communication was received from
13. C. Fouler, chief engineer A. F. D
advocating the appointment of the fol
lowing f.:c police: No. 1 J. K V'lrt,
Jus. G. Gardner, Jno. Grant, and Wil
liam Uork; No, 2, F. I,. Parker, R. A.
Oearns, T. S. Loughery, F.' J. Carney.
No. 3 C. Giamms, T. S. Cornelius, N.
P. JohanHon, and N. P. Wright; Hook
and Lnddor Co. Wm. Ityan, Piehurd
Etuarl, A. F .Krngor, and Samuel Free
man The matter was referred to the
committee on fire and water.
JThe following Important communl
cation was received from the commit
tee and water:
Regarding the report of the retiring
chief engineer of the Are departmen
we find It on the whole, satisfactory.
There have been 21 Are alarms, and on
estimated loss of 128,140, which we
think too high. Of this loss $28,000 on
curred only two days before the report
whs written, and the time of the chief
expired. So without the last, we have
20 alarms and only JH0 damage or loss,
The Insurance companies carrying
rinks In this city have again had
profitable year, as the total amount of
lasses paid will not exceed lio.uuu, while
the amount of premiums paid is over
$100,000, leaving a very nice profit for
the Insurance compunles. We would
HUi.gest that the Hoard of Trade and
tin) Chamber of Commerce of this city
thnt the excessive rates demanded and
paid for Insurance and getting the same
reduced, is a good subject for them to
work on.
The recommendations for strikers
for the fire bells are excellent, and
ought to bo done, but we cannot ad
vise that any more money be expended
at this time. The chief engineer s sal
ary Is a nominal one, and ridiculously
small, but we cannot recommend that
' It be raised at this time. He must ao
as other members of the city govern
ment, consider It as a duty Imposed
on him by his fellow citizens.
The coHt of maintaining the fire de--lartnient
seems high SU, 564 for th
past year. But how soon would that
amount of money invested In buildings
or other dcstructable property be des
troyed by a fire without a well-equipped
and efficient fire apparatus?
In conclusion we would recommend
that the department be kept up to Its
present efficiency, hut at the same time
that all economy be used, and that wo
ask the commercial bodies of the city,
insurance agentu and others, to use
their best efforts to get the premiums
reduced, as our history v ' show nn
with our well-equipped department and
excellent fire fighters, the risks are
ery much over oatlmuted, anil the
rates asked altogether too high, In
r.ir localities almost prohibitory.
Ths chief engineer's salary Is too
small for the amount of labor he has
to perform. During this financial de
pression there Is a heavy strain on
the taxpayers purse; we therefore
recommend that ufter April lBt, lt!)4,
the salary of chief engineer of the
fire department of the city of Astoria
be raised to fifty dollars per month, as
during the summer his time will be
occupied looking over th buildings and
peeing that they are put in proper shape.
We advise that the city auditor be re
quested to draw up the necessury or
dinance to that effect.
The water commission submitted a
balance sheet of their account for the
pant quarter showing the following le
celpts: July 41745.30; August, $1715.00;
September, $1644, making the entire re
ceipts $5,104.80. Disbursements totall
ing $1723.28, showing, with the amount
In the treasury, ($20,910.70) a total cred
it of $24,298.22. Report submitted to
the committee on ways and means for
report.
The report of the city treasurer for
the quarter Just ended showed receipts
amounting to $10,751.29, and disburse
ments umountlng to $11,950.21, leaving
a balance on hand of $4,795.08.
Tho reMrt of the auditor and police
Judge for the quarter showed receipts,
$15,416.79; expenditures, $10,621.71, leav
ing a cash lalance on hand of $4,795.08.
The debit was made up as follows:
Warrants cancelled $9,715.20; Interest,
$243.74, and amount due from chief of
police, $002.60,
A recommendation of Street Super
intendent Chadwlck regarding a flume
running through lots 7 and 1, block I I,
Adair's Astoria was adopted.
An ordinance wn.t Introduced by
Councilman Lewis for the Improve
ment of Young's Hay county road by
corduroying It for a distance of not
moi-e than 125 rods, An amendment
was made to thlH, making the total ex
ivudlture, on the work a sum not ex
ceeding $300. The ordinance passed lis
second reading, and was put on its
third reading and final passage.
An ordinance wan Introduced by
Councilman Welch ordaining thnt the
committees on health and police and
lire and water should inspect China
town and order oil Chinamen, whose
buildings were In nn unsafe or unsan
itary condition to vacate them and put
them In good order; and furthermore,
that after the first of January, 1S94,
no Chinese storca, wash houses, or
other businesses Bhould be allowed In
the city limits of Astoria, and that
any found carrying on business after
that Uute Bhould be dcined guilty of
o. misdemeanor.
Councilman Thomson moved, and
Councilman Lewis seconded, that the
matter be referred to the city attor
ney. Councilman Bergman moved as an
amendment and Councilman McGregor
seconded, that the matter be laid on
the table. The mover thought that
the motion was contemptible. Coun
cilman Welch stated that the Chinese
had been driven out of the surround
ing cities. Had they been driven out of
Portland or San Francisco? The
amendment was lost on a division of
four and four, and the original motion
frri?d.
Mr. Bergman la tie course of his
Report
remarks stated that no proscribed lim
its could be legally made by the coun
cil against any resident of the city
who lived peaceably and offended none
of his neighbors. .
The ordinance appropriating $711 for
Thatcher and Marlon was read a third
time and placed on its final passage.
The ordinance appropriating $421.80
for the benefit of Marlon and Stone,
for 2812 yards of earth taken from the
crossing of Seventh and Olney streets
was passed.
A large number of minor claims were
read and referred to their various com
mittees, while sev.'ral others were or
dered paid.
A resolution was Introduced by Coun
cilman Wjdoh ordering the city attor
ney to draw up an Ordinance com
pelling all stores selling liquors within
the city limits to pay nn annunl li
cense. Councilman. Thomson very nenslbly
remarked that there was no reason for
the passage of tho resolution. If gro
cery stores sold liquor by retail they
were guilty of a crime, and if they
were selling It In unbroken packages,
they had a license for that kind of
thing and were within the law.
After some further discussion re
gardlng the advisability of reaching
grocery Btores that sold liquor In less
than 6-galIon packages, the resolution
was adopted.
A resolution was brought In by Coun
cilman Lewis asking the council to
authorize a little minor work alongside
the Young's Bay road bridges, In order
to ullow the approaches of the bridges
to float when the high tides came,
without endangering their safety,
such work to cost not more
than $25. The resolution was adopted.
Council then adjourned at 9 p. m.
