For Revenue
The New Tariff Bill is In
tended to Raise $40,
000,000 of Addi
tional Revenue.
The House Ins passed a new
tariff till raising all duties to
CU per cent of the MeKinlev
Bill. Dealers in woolen goods
expect that clothing will be
just that mui h higher. In con-
versa' i m with Mr. Herman
Wise, the leading clothing
merchant, he says that thi
will not affect his special sale
during this month. He says
that his offer of $0.90 for any
suit in his s-tore holds good
during this sale; also the re
duetion in Overcoats, Rubber
Mackintoshes, Hats, Under
wear and everything cle in
his gtore. He also offers a
free ticket to his CJrand Mas
querade Hall to every pur
chaser of $" worth of goods at
Mr. Wise's store. This is an
opportunity to be embraced
by the public.

THE GRAND CHANGE.
(Cor.trnufi from HrM raf
menu must. In I ho first Instancy be
Paid for ly the city, giving to the ircin.
erty owner the privilege of repaying the
cost of the Improvement in ten enuat
Installments, running through period
.f nine year -under this system the lim
it of indebtedness will rty coon l
reached, and then all Improvement must
end.
I recommend that Immediate step be
taken to have the charter amended that
all street Improvements, Including the
Improvement of crossings, be made at
Ihe expense of adjacent properly, and
that payment therefor by the property
owner be made al the time of making the
Improvement. 'y this plan, the property
directly Interested lear the eXense of
the Improvement; streets may be Im
proved, when property owners on Ihe line
of said streets desire It without creating
additional burden upon Ihe city, and
the general tax levies will thereby be re
duced below what they must otherwise
reoosarlty be.
With the completion of the new water
svstem. now under construction, the city
will he furnished with an abundant sui
plv of pure, wholesome water, sufficient
In amount, it Is estimated, to supply a
city of tlfty thousand Inhabitants. At
ihe present time therefore, the supply
largely exceeds Ihe demands of ihe city,
for domestic purpos.1. About one hun
dred tire hydrants are being placed
throughout the city, at convenient dis
tance, and In such manner as to furnish
sufficient water supply for use In the
extinguishment of flrcv Th present fire
systtre consists of three steam rngln,
one chemical engine, and one hook and
ladder truck, with equipment, the main
tenance of which cost the city the past
year flli:.&. With Ihe completion of
the new water system It Is believed lhat
a chan. may be made in Ihe nre depart
ment, -hereby Instead of requiring the
use of steam engines in extinguishing
nre. water for that purpose may be pro
cured directly from the hydrants con
nected with the city's water mains: that
equal, if not better protection will I
afforded the city thereby than is afforded
under the present system, and at a great
lv reduced cost to the city.
' A water power of between fifty and six
ty horse power Is obtained at the gate
house, near the reservoir, which can be
utilised In driving machinery, without
the loss of any water for consumption In
Pie city, or for use as power In the
lower levels of the city, as the water
after being used to drive machinery at
the gate house passes thence Into the
reservoir. Provision has been made In
the gate house, whereby machinery can
readily be placet therein, and the water
power utilised to light the street and
public buildings of the city.
I am not prepared at this time to make
any recommendations in these matters,
but I desire to ell your attention to them
for the reason that they will very soon
require your earnest and careful con
sideration. The matter of the public property of
the citv Is one of Importance. The city
owns. beMdes the lots upou which the
public buildings of the city are situated
ere block In Shlvely's Astoria, which Is
used for cemetery purposes and Is known
as Hillisde Cemetery." and upwards or
sixty-one acres of lind on Clatsop, which
was purchased several years ago for cem
itery purposes. On this last-named tract
a cemetery was p'attcd. ami some lots
have W-en sold and burials made there
in. Owing to the difficulty In reaching
the place, but little interest has been
shown In the past In Its improvement
and care, but with a prospect of rail
road communication between the city
and the cemetery, within the next three
or four months, at most, step should be
taken to put the tract In shape and make
necessary Improvements thereon. While
the tract has been platted. It Is believed
that it is not platted to conform to the
natural lay of the ground, and In such
manner as to produce the most pleasing
effect, when improved. I therefore re
commend that steps be taken to have
the entire tract cleaned up. that arrange
ments be made with lot owners for re
platting the same, and that In the re
platting the same, the services of a spe
cialist In that line he procured, to the
end that the grounds may le so laid out
as to give to thrn the most pleasing
appearance.
The Hillside Ctmetery is upon Ihe hill
overlooking the city, at a point where
It will soon le surrounded by handsome
residences and other improvement. I
recomn.end that steps b taken to cause
the removal of the remains of those who
tre buried there, and. if practicable, the
said site oe converted into a sma'i park
block. F'om time to time doing the
past years, lots have been conveyed
to the city by lot owners, to avoid pay
ment of assessment thereon for !reet
improvements. As no power appears to
have existc I in the city to sell or convey
said lots, the legal title ta th-in must
still be in the city. I re?om.n-nd thai
the sai.i matter be Ir.vestig c d. and 1!
be ascertained if the city is "he iwncr ol
any such lots
The c.y is at resent without eil'-er n
park or a park site. This Is n matter
w!ii"h should be considered, and acted
upon as soon as poss.ble. Thr are
many sites within the city which aie at
present available for park purposes, but
which, after a few years, will probably
te platted, and tracts and lots sold
therefomi. so that it will lie difficult to
procure a hotly of land sufficiently large
for park purposes, without having lo
deal with many different jwners, and al
great additional cost to the city.
The matter "of wharves and water
frontage Is one which calls for serious
consideration at this time. The charter
provides that "all streets within the city
limits and at right angles to the Col
umbia Itiver are extended to the ship's
channel for the use of the public, etc."
These streets extend into Ihe river at
intervals of two to three hundred feet,
thus making it impossible to construct
large wharves or warehouses on the wa
ter front of the city. I recommend that
public landings be established at the foot
of streets at suitable and convenient
points throughout the city, and that
where the existence of other streets ex
tending to the channel will In the future
Interfere with the erection or mainte
nance of large structures along the wa
terfront, provision lie made for vacating
of such streets, or so much thereof a
interferes with the making of such Im
provements. The first Important question to be con
sidered, is the question of finance. I
recommend that the present floating In
debtedness lie converted Into a bonded
Indebtedness, thereby reducing the Inter
est thereon from fight to six per cent:
that careful estimates be made of the
moneys necessary to carry on the busi
ness for the ensuing year: that a lax
be levied acordlngly. and that all expen
ditures be kept strictly within the esti
mates. The future outlook for our city Is good.
With the probability of the completion of
the Astoria and Columbia River railroad,
and the opening of the canal and look
at the Cascades of the Columbia the
present year, and with the prospects that
In the near future the obstruction to
navigation of the entire Columbia will
be overcome, Astoria Is destined, In the
near luture, to I the chief seaport city
of the Northwest. jjUt while we have
cause to congratulate ourselves upon the
bright outlook for the future, enduring
prosperity can only be obtained through
a wise and Judicious administration of
our public affairs. Let us then endeavor
to so conduct the affairs of the city that
we t-hall not only prosper, but that our
porsperity slmll l,e enduring.
