WE NEED HOUSES.

A handsome monthly income and the
approval of a suffering public viii be
the reward of the enterprising man
who erects a number of small cottages
or few first-class flats for rent within
easy walking distance of Astoria's bus
mess center. The dwellings OF the
city are taxed to their utmost. II is,
and has been for many months. almost
impossible to obtain a good modern
house to live in at any price without
waiting indefinitely for it to become
vacant. The houses which have been
built recently have all been rented be-
fore they were finished. usually before
construction was begun. Dozens of
families in the city would be glad to
secure medium sized dwellings with
modern conveniences at a rental of SIS
to $50 month If they could be- had.
Probably some of the property owners
are afraid that if they built new houses
their old tenaments would be vacated.
Perhaps they think the people may
leave town soon. Some of them have
left because they could not find de-
cent houses 70 rent.
Where are the people to live whom
we expect and desire to make Astoria
their home? They can not buy and
build at once. They should not be ex-
pected TO. II large land owners have
not faith enough in the proposition TO
erect cottages which can be rented at
a good figure before they are built, how
can We expect strangers to invest?
There may be few old shacks yet va
cant, and possibly high priced house
or two, but the situation at present is
pretty we'll calculated to influence in
tending residents to choose location
where they can be more comfortably
housed.
The erection Of few dozen cottages
or number Of respectable fats would
be a great relief to a large element OF
salaried people, an evidence Of thrift
and enterprise in the city. and show a
becoming loyalty and public spirit as
well as shrswdness on the part of the
capitalists.

THE report Of the experts who have
been examining the city books has
caused considerable discussion as 70
the means which should be adopted
by the city to prevent misappropria-
ton OF the citys funds. The fact that
the sum of $1,000 has been unlawfully
taken from the city treasury, and APP
propriated by an individual, in the last
I'VE years. without detection, is not
creditahle 10 those whose duty it was
!. TO administer the city's affairs. The
law requires that the city auditor and
treasurer make out quarterly reports,
and 1t seems that the proper exami-
nation and checking up Of these re-
ports BY the proper committees OF the
common council should have detected
the shortage long ago. 1t certainly
would have been discovered had those
reports been properly examined and
checked up. 1t is. therefore. fair to
presume that the reports of those Of
ficers. when made. We're assumed to
be correct and that no one took the
trouble to ascertain the fact as to
whether they We're correct or not.
While we are considering the ques-
tion as to how the city may be reim-
bursed for the shortage of $1,000, let
us see how such shortages may be pre-
vented in the future.
The auditor is required to audit all
claims against the city, and TO pre-
sent them to the common council for
payment. These claims should be re-
ferred to the proper committees, who
should examine and report upon them
in writing, stating the amount in which
the claim is approved by the commit
tee Then, when the claim is allowed
by the council, the warrant should be
drawn by the auditor, who should
have a contrivaace Cor puncturing the
paper with the figures denoting the
amount Of the warrant. similar to those
used by banking institutions, and
when the warrant is presented to the
mayor for his signature it should be ac-
companied by the audited claims, so
that the mayor may be able to ascer-
tain if the amount named in the war;
rant corresponds with the amount Of
the claim ordered paid by the coun-
ell. Such a course was pursued by
the council during the years of 1896
and 1897 excepting that no contrivance
ance was used for puncturing the war
rant in the manner suggested above) |
