fully ask our honorable senator and
representatives at Salem, to oppose
the bin introduced by c. j. Curtis
namely Making the Astoria Fire De-
partment paid department and nam.
ing committee of three as fire com
missioners. Our reasons are as follows:
The charter of the city of Astoria at
the present time gives the council the
power to make the department paid
we believe the council to be composed OF
good business men who have the best
interests of the city at heart and when
they consider 1t the best for the city
they will do 50. We further believe
the bill introduced by Hon. c. j. Cur
tbs to be political job, put UP by some
parties who desire to get into office,
and turn the department into a political
machine. which we believe is detri-
mental to the best interests of the city.
The resolution was forwarded to sa-
