The daily morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1883-1899, 1893-09-10

A document is about to be prepared
for the signatures Of the heads of the
various churches in this city asking
the water commission to allow them
| fair rate for water and not to charge
| prices that are eXhorbitant and unjust.
Every church in the city has one wa
ter faucet which is mulcted at $3.50 per
month. The water is used for few
minutes every day in every week, and
the charge, certainly, seems preposter-
GUS and out of all reason.
| See Griffin & Reed about the school
books required by your children. You
| will find marked reduction in prices
from former years.
Hereafter the rate between Astoria
and Portland will be $1.5O each way,
| and no round trips.
For Sale-Three good lots at Smiths
Point. A bargain. Address A. b., this
| Office.
Lovers of good cigar can always
find mild, fresh Belmonts at Chas.

The board of trustees and stewards
of the Methodist church with a num-
ber of other members of the church,
met last night and received the
Reverend j. w. Bdshong, the new
pastor. He took hold of the pro-
ceedings and outlined the policy he in
tended to pursue, which met with the
hearty approval of all present. The
