the last tax roll. is shown against each
lot and parcel included in said assess
ment and that the liability Of the city
for the improvement on account OF the
street assessment on certain lots be-
ing over so per cent OF their tax val
ues. amounts TO the sum Of s2s7.
That on account of the low rate Of tax
valuation (the same bearing no relation
to the real value Of property 1t Is i'm
possible to make a fair and just as
sessment and to assess those lots which
abut on the improvement and are
mostly benefited thereby, at their
proper proportion Of the expense with
out throwing a considerable amount Of
the cost Of the improvement on the
city. The clause in the present char
ter limiting the amount to be levied
for street purposes to so per cent OF
the tax value was no doubt intended
to prevent an excessive assessment for
street improvements on lots which were
assessed for tax purposes at something
near their real value but under the
present system Of pro rata assessments
for street improvements the repeal OF
this clause would work no hardship
and would also be the means Of con-
siderable saving to the city. With the
present low valuation for tax purposes,
on account Of the clause. the owners
Of property benefited by opening new
streets, escape paying a large proper
tion of the amount justly levied against
them. the deficit having to be made up
by the general public who are not d.
rectly benefited by such Improvement.
For instance lot s in block SO, size
75x15O, which has $50 feet frontage on
y-eighth street Is assessed In the
tax roll at $50. The actual cost Of the
Improvement Of Thirty-eighth street for
half of the street in front of this lot
was sl1S, tfe assessment against it for
the street improvement was SIS but
this lot escapes with payment If $50
while the city has to pay the deficit Of
S45, and several other lots are taxed at
N5 with the same frontage on the
street, the city in each case having
to pay $3.50 of the street assessment.
We cannot justly assess these lots less
and raise the assessment on lots two
or three hundred feet away from the
improvement to make up the deficiency
without fling an assessment that would
be contrary to the spirit of the city
charter.

oEoRoE 0. MooN AproINrEp.
Council Unanimously Confirm Mayor
Bergman's Appointment OF Po-
lice Commissioner.

Al a special meeting, of the Common
Council. held last evening. Mayor Berg
mans appointment OF q. y. Moon 10
fill the office OF Police commissioner
lately made vacant by the death Of
w. F. Scheibe, was confirmed by the
council without discussion or comment.
There has been considerable controver-
sy over an appointment to al this va
cancy and several legal opinions have
been brought out on the matter.
After the council had failed TO con-
firm the mayors appointment Of L. Le-
beck on several occasions the question
OF electing commissioner at the COM
ins city election was brought up. City
Attorney Smith. however, gave his
opinion 10 the effect that this could not
be done In accordance with the sense
OF the city charter.
Mr., Moon is president and manager Of
the Astoria Gaslight Company. and al
so holds the position Of president OF
the Alaska Fishermens Packing Com
pany. His appointment TO the olllce
seems to give general satisfaction.
The following ordinances passed third
reading at the meeting last evening;
Providing that the sum OF s1212.90 be
appropriated from the Franklin avenue
fund for the benefit OF n. Clinton 4
Son.
That the sum OF $6s7.5O be taken from
the general fund for the benefit OF ".
Clinton & Son. This amount Is the bal
ance above the sum collected on the as
sessment for work on Franklin avenue
as per above ordinance.
That the sum Of $526.0l for S. Normile
for the construction Of the crossings
on Commercial street at Fourteenth,
Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets.
That s2S7 be taken out Of the Elev-
anth street Improvement fund for ].
X. Writ.
The improvement Of Seventeenth
street from Irving to Jerome avenues
was also accepted.
With the exception Of Messrs. Han
sen and Svensen the council were all
present.

LIFE SAVED BY ELEcrR1c LIGHT

An interesting calculation has recent
ly been made which shows that when
the electric light has entirely displaced
gas. oil lamps and candles. there will
be 5000 less deaths annually. these be-
ing so much more unhealthy than cleo
tricity. In a like manner there will
be far less sickness in the world, when
every one learns to check the inroads Of
dyspepsia with Hostetter's Stomach
Ritters. Constipation. Indigestion. bill
iousness. fever and ague and malaria
are but danger signals proclaiming a
diseased condition Of the stomach.
Good digestion is at the base Of per-
feet nutrition. The Bltters strengthens
the stomach. and cures all disorders
arising from mal-nutrition. Every one
would do well to try it. See that our

out OF Tune and Harsh

The girl had q new piano. She was
n musical girl, and IL was as nice n
piano as could be found. When she
had it properly set up and ready for
use there was probably not a happier
girl. But as she sat down 20 play a
look OF discomfort and wonder spread
over her face. IL was strange, but
this new piano was certainly out OF
tune; certain notes sounded like the
hammering Of piece of iron. That
would never do; she couldn't play on
piano like that: she couldn't under
stand il, either, for certainly that piano
had q very sweet tone in the shop So
the piano man was sent for IN great
haste, and came TO see what the trouble
was, very much astonished himself.
He ran his fingers over the piano and
then, turning, gazed curlously around
the room.
"That is most curious and imper-
tinent man, thought the girl, as she
watched him, his fingers moving over
the keys. but his eyes wandering
soarchingly from one piece Of furni-
ture TO another. Finally he left the
piano, went to u stove in the room,
tucked piece of paper under one leg,
and went back to the piano, when,
strange TO say, every note was as sweet
and clear and full as could have been
desired and there was not a suspicion
of discOrd. During the cold weather
stovo had been placed in the room
and, not standing evenly, with certain
vibrations of the piano II was made TO
move and there followed little clat-
tering of iron, which, coming stimuli.
taneously with the striking of the keys
on the piano, sounded rs if that in
strument had produced the disagree
able sound.
"rhat is all right now said tn,
man as he left the piano, "only it wa
stove man you needed instead of thu
piano man. "-Chicago Chronicle.
