Astoria, December 10. (Killtor Asto
rlan) Your remark Mining to t
street to the dopot were timely, and re
ceived the endorsement of the entire
community. The average Astorlan
ix great rustler and works very hnr.l
building dry dis ks, Hour mills, hotels,
city porks, central markets and ether
needed Improvements, but is Inclined to
overlook many minor works of the llrst
Importance. A street to the depot Is
a work which we will have to do. It
must be built. Then why not stop our
other great undertakings and do the
thing we are bound to do, and not delay
until we are damaged Irretrievably b
the delay, Why not do thla work at
once and have It out of the way and
then go on with other and perhaps
greater undertakings? If there be two
or three owners who refuse to dedicate
the right of way, why not at once have
their property condemned and build the
sfeet anyway. Surely we cannot allow
two or three persons to stand In the
way of the entire community.
The writer realises that our common
council has some very heavy burdens
to bear and especially so these hard
times but still thinks it should exert
Itself In the mntter of getting Commer
clal street extended to the depot. Y.
