The scheme for financing the sea wall
nronosal is one that will cause much
interest In the city 1t is proposed that
the property benefited be bonded to Sc
cure payment of the Improvement,
Each lot IN the improved district would
thus be pledged the mortgages to be
taken mn by security company, which,
in turn would issue bonds to the
anount of the work. The bonds woud
bear interest and mature 10 years after
the date Of their issuance, It is reason
oh that the seawall would so enhance
nronertv IN 10 years as to more than
nav for the work. Some of the cost

hution. as was done at Seattle. The
ont,ro matter is to be discussed at
the meeting to be held Tuesday night
when steps will be taken to sound sem
timent among all of the property own
ers interested. Those who decline te
toke nm with the proposal might be
brought TO terms by excluding theil
nroperty from the benefit of the sea

There is much dissatisfaction with
the harbor lines In front Of the city,
and the government engineers will be
asked to make thorough revision.
The lines were established many years
ago. before the Snag island 5etty had
ruined Astoria harbor and there has
been no change except In the east end
since that time. The result is that
there IN very poor depth at many inn
portant points. It is learned that an
Astorian who Is anxious TO build a
large wharf has been trying to buy
400 feet Of frontage that would afford
good depth. He secured an option Of
property between the cooperative can
merry and the Tallant-Grant cannery
but the best depth to be found there
was 10 IL feet Afterwards he Offer
ed $4,000 for frontage near the O. II
A. N. wharf, but the offer was refused
the owner demanding $4,000. The
harbor lines should be extended ir
many places, for with their present lo-
cation the commercial interests OF tnf
city are shut off from deep water.

superintendent Dorsey B. Smith, OF
the O. II. e. n. Co, is making a mod
.rn railroad out Of the north beach mar
row gauge. which once enjoyed the dis
tinction OF being operated without the
formaIity OF time schedule. The
rolling stock Of the road has lately been
fitted with automatic couplers and air
brakes. contributing much TO Its safety
and convenience. Six thousand new
ties are being placsd in the road bed
and the coaches and engines are be-
Ing oyerhauled, painted and put In or
der for heavy traffic during the coming
season. Mr.. Smith hopes to be able
TO perfect plans for summer service
t,etween the north and south beaches
which viii make intercourse between
the rival resorts far more easy than IN
the past. The genial superintendent
thinks that there should not be SO much
jealousy between the habitues or pro-
urietors OF the Oregon and Washington
resorts, and that. IL convenient trans
portatlon facilities we're afforded. mos'
neonle would visit both beaches before
leaving the coast and an interchange
of friendly feeling would be conducive

Los pleitos con la Iglesia

Lo sentimoS; pero nos va ser ne
cesario condenar una wez mas ell gene
70 de polftica que desarrollo aqui Mr..
Hunt.
Han llegado nuestros oidos rumo-
res de TN asunto que no sabemos 81 10
dejo 1ltimado Ell anterior gobernante,
8 ST, procediendo con su habilidad ca
racteristica, 10 dejo q Mr. Winthrop,
para que este 10 resolviera en- Ell SEN
lido indicado por el. 4 fin de que reca-
yeran las responsabilidade sobre Ell
actual Gobernador.
Nos referimoS los pleitos que, por
|torpeza 6 impericia del Gobierno insu-
lar, Sc We obligado sostener ell pue-
bio de Pueto Rico con la Iglesia cato
lica. a la que pretende discutirse, en-
Juicios llamad IS perderse casi ire
misiblemente. derechos que no han
podido ponerse en- duda con funda-
mentos medianamente atendibles
Sc trata, pues, de una serie de plei-
tos sobre blenes y propiedadeS de la
fglesia, en- los cuales parece evidente
que ha de salir condenado en- coStas
lei pueblo de Puerto Rico.
Por consiguiente, cualquier Gobier-
no previsor hubiera debido examinar
con Ell detenimiento necesario los I'll
tulos que puede alegar Ell pals para
pleitear con la Iglesia, y yer 81 podrian
.soStenerse, con probabilidades siquie-
|ra de exito. semejantes contiendas
judiciales.
Es muy possible que ST el ex-gober-
mad & Mr. Hunt hubiera sometido el
asunto al dlctamen del Colegio de
Abogados, hubiera sido enitido este
por unamidad en- favor de la Iglesia,
Tales son las razones y tan eviden-
tes sen, nuestro juicio, los derechos
que asisten q Ia respectable entidad
con quien Sc las We 4 entender, sin de-
searlo. ell pueblo de Puerto Rico.
Pero no eS ESQ solo. Ell ex-gober
n dor Hunt design6, antes de irse, le--
trado que defendiera al pueblo, sefia-
landole de paso uAa retribucion que
no eS exagerada, por que Sc trata de
ocho pleitoI. pero que es algo mas del
doble de 10 que pidio otro letrado.
Excusado parece decir que los dos
abogados con quienes trato Mr.. Hunt
son americanos. Los dos, personal
ulente, son dignos, sin duda de gran
estimation y respeto, aunque political
mente no pueda formarse juicio exac-
to de uno de eljos por que Sc concret6
a interpreter felmerte, como funcio-
mario de la administrator, la voluntad
de Mr.. Hunt.
Son 1850 dollars los que, segln
nuestros informes. le deio ofrecido &
uno de dichos abogados el sef1or
Hunt por la direction de los ocho
pleitoS, y son $4,000 Ia suma en- que
comprometio sus servicios el otro abo-
gado Diferencia en- contra de la is
la: siete mil dollars.
No quere mos ,tr1r hoy.en mas por55
memories acerCa de este asunto, que re-
veia bien las claras como Mr. Hunt
disponla tranquilamente de la isla como
de cosa propia y como iba instalando-
Sc aqui, con las apariencias de una pa
labrsria vana iesustancial que pro-
clamaba la lib4rtad y la democracia,
TN regimen completamente feudal y
autocratico, en- que desempenaba muy
a gusto el papel de Ssa0r el honorable
Mr.. Hunt.
