Mr.. ANDERsON's VERSION.
The AuditO and Police Judge
Gives His Side of the Story

To The Editor With your kind per-
mission would like to answer the
charge made against me in The Asto-
rian of yesterday with reference to Mr..
Charles H. Abercrombie copying the
registration books. The ordinance pro-
vides that when the registration shall
close that the auditor and police Judge
shall write the words Registration
closed" in red ink at the foot Of each
column of electors registered. When
the registrations closed on last Satur-
day, was under the impression that
the registration books ceased to be pub
lie records and should be sealed, but
upon request made by Mr.. Abercrombie
and Mr.. Allen Ito the city attorney,
/ was subject to the public inspection
until sealed preparatory to be delivered
to the judges and clerks of election.
Mr.. Regan was then allowed to copy
from the registration books, which he
did during the forenoon yesterday, but
in the afternoon he failed to appear to
contiue the work. The books were
lying on the desk all the afternoon for
Mr.. Regan's or any other persons in
spection otherwise they would have
been placed in the ballot boxes with
the other election supplies to be deliver
ed to the judges of the coming election.
During registration of voters all per-
sons have had free access to the regis
tration books, and 1 have at all times
been anxious and willing to assist any
persons desiring to examine the city re-
cords There was absolutely no inten-
tion upon by part to prevent any exam
ination Of the registration books, and
can not understand why there should
be any reason for complaint.
Yours very respectfully,
OLOF ANDERSON,
Auditor and Police Judge.

the total cost Of the improvement as
contemplated would be $ssss so.
Mr.. Burns. chairman Of the street
committee. said that the total value of
the property In the district was $11 300.
Under tile charter II is possible to as
sess property for not more than 70 per
cent Of its assessed valuation. but the
assessment must De made with partic-
ular regard for the benefits which will
accrue to the parcels Of land in the i'm
provement district. Mr. Burns pointed
out that perhaps ,s5OOO or egene$7500,
might be squeezed out of the district,
which would leave deficit of almost
$4,000. Whether or not the council wish
ed to make up this balance was the
question for consideration, said the
councilman.
When Mayor Suprenant declared him
self. Councilman Leinenweber jumped
to his feet to say that he wanted to see
his end of town treated fairly. He
thought the East End as much entitled
to some of the city's cash as the down.
town district. He took the bull by the
horns, and Mayor Suprenant receded
from mis- position just trifle by say
ing that he would not vigorously OPP
pose the payment Of small amount In
an exceptional instance.
Councilman Nordstrom, also from the
Third ward, lined up with Mr.. Leinen-
webcr. He said the street would have
to be built. no matter what the means
necessary to secure the Improvement,
and he was Of the opinion that it was
worth $4,000 or thereabouts to the city
to have the thoroughfare put through.
However the council adopted the re-
port Of the street committee, with its
recommendation that the Improvement
be not undertaken unless 1t was clear
that the cost would be entirely borne
oy the property owners, and the council
must rescind this action If the under
taking is to be proceeded with. Settle
nent of the matter promises to develop |
ome interesting situations.

Property Valuations are not Great
Enough to Allow Of East End
Improvement.
FRANKLIN AVENUE MIDDLE
Mayor Says He Will Oppose
Throwing Part of the Cost
of the Work on
the City.

If the people Of East Astoria want
i Franklin avenue improved, they mus
bear the expense. The city can MOI
afford to pay for the Improvement, OF
for any part of it. I am unalterably
/ opposed to the passage Of an ordinance
providing for the Improvement unless IL
is clear that the property owners will
'pay the bill. Mayor Suprenant.
Well. we don't know. For months
past the city has borne part of the cost
Of every street Improvement made, and
1t is not clear to us that an exception
should be made In the case Of the peo-
pie Of our end Of town. Sixteenth
street, Eleventh street, Eighth street
and many other thoroughfares have
been only partly paid for by the prop
erty owners. If the cost Of improving
Franklin avenue will exceed the total
amount which can be assessed against
the property, the city ought to pay the
difference. It's as fair for one as it is
for the other. Chorus of East Enders
The matter came up again at last
nights meeting of the council. At the
previous meeting remonstrance
against the the Improvement, which
extends from Thirty-six to Forty-third
street, was presented by property own
ers, who set up the contention that the
Improvement should be deferred until
spring The remonstrance was refer
red to the street committee, and that
body reported last night. The report
recommended that an estimate of the
cost Of the work to be prepared, and.
II 1t was found the cost would not
exceed the amount of the maximum
assessment, that the Improvement be
undertaken.
Later on plans and specifications for
the improvement were presented by
Engineer Tee. The report showed that

Term.
THREE TICKETS IN FIELD
Owing to Illegality "FollOw the
Flag" Votes Thrown Out
Fred Moore is Popular
Official.

Seaside, Dec. S.-The election here
yesterday passed off very quietly, with
fair amount of interest shown by the
citizens generally. There were three
tickets in the field, the Independent,
the Citizens, and one gotten out by
A. D. Rockefeller. This was known as
the Stand by the Flag" ticket, but
owing to some irregularity in the man
ner of the birth and nursing of the lit
tie stranger, the ballots cast in favor
Of the ticket were thrown out. The loss
of the votes. however, did not affect the
results very seriously, nor did it affect
the election of any of the candidates,
for in all Seaside there were Just two
men, of whom the parent of the party
was one, who could be weedeled into
Standing by the Flag"

IN sRlcHT's DISEASE

The New York Sun states that surg
cry is being used in Bright's disease
This here. ofore hopeless complaint is
now being treated by the knife. The
capsule or surrounding membrane has
been cut into and removed and the
weakened and diseased kidney relieved
from TOO great depression New blood
vessels are formed and the circulation
set up between the released kidneys
and the surrounding tissue.
The fact that the death rate after
such an operation has been very high
is not to be wondered at, since Bright's
disease is a very desperate complaint;
but the proportion of cases already
cured or improved will Justify further
trial. The Sun is not afraid of the
knife; it does not view with alarm the
tendency to cut into any part of the
BODY. The liver and stomach are con
sidered legitimate meat for the scalpel;
the intestines, the spinal cord, and
even portions of the brain are invaded.
The Sun does not think people should
be too tenderfooted about this. Ultra
conservatism should not be bar to
further demonstration of this new pro-
cedure. Chronic nephritls lisa surgi-
cal disease and the country waits to
hear of further experiment.

TARIFF LEACUERS.

An interesting piece of gossip has
been whispered in political circles for
several days." says The Star. "Who
started it nobody will tell and no one
viii father 1t, but the politicians are
relating it nevertheless. 1t is an al
legged explanation for the Presidents
apparent change of front on the tariff
question. The story goes that after
the Congress adjourned and while the
special session of the Senate was on,
and the President was preparing for
his Western trip, the President was
visited by number of Republicans
from out of town, who came for some
heart heart talks with him, cumuIa-
lively.
prominent in the coterie were
members of the American Protective
Tariff League, the organization which
makes business of promoting high
tariff sentiment. These men, it is
said, told the President frankly that if
he on his Western trip doomed tariff
revision the high tariff Republicans
Moulc set to work to defeat his nomi-
nation. He was told, it is said, that
this faction would join with the inter
ests, already known to be dissatisfied
with Mr.. Rooseyelt's course, but afraid
to tackle him aloue, and that the two
would be powerful enough to accom-
plish his defeat.i
