Congress Urged to Mai"
Appropriation te Save Cit
izens From Bankruptcy ,
WASllINOTOX, Dec. 13.
Senator McXary today Intro-
duccd a resolution for , a A3,-
000,000 approprlalon fo'r As-
lorla rnllof. It wu referred to .
4 tho appropriations committee. . I
ASTOIUA, Dec. 13. Senator'
Btonflcld today wired haf '
would support tho 13,000,000 ' j
appropriation for Astoria. j
:'
Declaring that unless Astoria re
ceives Immediate government aid Hit,
city will ceaso to function and
bankruptcy of its people will result,
telegrams have been sent by the
Astorlans to the cities of Orecoa
asking that congress be nrcd to ap
propriate 13,000,000 for rehabilita
tion purposes, ono ot which this
morning was received by the cham
ber ot commerce here.
Tho appeal cites that the situa
tion resulting from, tho devastating
fir0 ot last Friday which totally
destroyed the entlro business part
of tbo city. Its streets, water, sower
and tiro systems, is such that It has
been deemed necessary to appeal to
the president and congress for Im
mediate aid, and that the follow
ing racssaio hat bec start t thm:
"Ob Friday Bornlng last tat) M
tiro business part ot this ett? was
totally destroyed by the most 'dtv -.
nalatlng tire lo the hlatsry the
Lcl0c.jc9HcttjtrJM-iVi
tern, sewer system, and fire system
la the entire devastated district are
totally destroyed.
"Over G.000 citizens have suf-'
fercd lou ot their property and sro
without employment or means ot
subsistence. Business is paralyzed
and tho city Is wholly without ade
quate means either to furnish em
ployment or sustain Its citizens who
have so suffered. Contributions
have been secured from coaat cities
and from individuals but this can
not be employed to rehabilitate the
devastated district.
"In order to rebuild, It will be
necessary to till by dredging the en
tire part ot tho city destroyed.
Practically all ot the streets and
sewers destroyed were constructed
on and under viaducts and the cost
assessed against the property. Such
assessments have not been paid,
which, together with the enormous
loss suatalned, makes It Impossible
to reconstruct. Tho situation is
serious and appalling. Unless the
city receives Immediate government
aid It seems that It will ceaso to
function and bankruptcy of its peo
ple, heretofore .solvent, will result.
Tho disaster, not Including loss ot
live, equals that caused by the tidal
wavo which devastated Galveston
and tbo San Francisco holocaust ot
190C.
"Wo deem tho situation so crit
ical that we feet It Is necessary to
appeal to tho congress ot tho Unit
ed States tor Immediate aid such
as was granted dalvcston and San
Francisco. It Is believed Hint It wl
require nt least $3,000,000 to af
ford anyways near adequate relief."
