Pressed Brick City hall Could Be
Erected for $4,000, Says One
Of the Contractors.
MUCH DEPENDS ON PLANS
lfPlain Building Is Desired AL.
terati0ns Would Entail Oat.
My That Would BE
Justified.

The proposal for the erection Of !,
brick city hall meets with popular APP
proyal. Since the matter was brought
before the city council many tax
payers have expressed themselves fa-
vorably upon the contemplated change
| In the plans, and 1t is believed that
the brick building viii be provides, for
Mr. Ferguson. one OF the contrae-
| tors. was asked yesterday whether OF
not It would be possible now to provide
for an alteration such as has been
suggested. He made an Affirmative re-
ply. saying II would probably be pos
slble to countermand the lumber or
ders at very little expense.
"As to the cost OF brick building
In excess OF the cost Of a wooden
structure, II would be difficult TO make
an estimate without doing some fig
uring." said Mr.. Ferguson. Il believe
however, that a pressed brick build
ing could be erected at a cost Of about
$4,000 in excess of the. contract price
of the wooden structure. A plain. brick
building would cost about $4,000 more.
These figures are not given to you as
accurate, for l have not figured the
difference in cost.
"The excess expense attached to the
construction OF a brick building would
depend largely on the design used. II
a plain building, such as l would favor,
were to be planned, the cost would not
be great, but lot Of fancy work would
entail considerable expense. II de-
pends entirely upon what the city
wants"
Several considerations have prompt
ed the suggestion that brick be used.
The new city hall will be surrounded
by wooden structures, and fire would
make short work OF wooden city hall.
The danger would be greatly lessened
il brick were used. A wooden building
would be temporary in character,
while a brick structure would be per-
manent So far as the cost is concern
ed, the city could better now incur
an obligation of this sort than at any
other time in its history. The debt
is about sl50.O0O, so there is ample
leeway. 1t is estimated that the cost
of the building contracted for would
be about 100000, while a pressed brick
structure, which would be permanent
and credit to the city, could be
built for $4,000.

OFFERED TO CITY PUPILS.
Commercial Gymnasium May Be Placed
at Their Disposal.

At a special meeting of the board
Of directors of the Commercial Club
last night, high school students were
asked to make an effort to form a
large class in physical culture. The
club has ample gymnasium facilities,
and if enough pupils can be induced to
join the class the gymnasium will un-
questionably be set aside for the use
of the school boys and girls. The hign
school students promised to take up
the matter with City Superintendent
Clark. The directors granted the girls
of the high school use of the gym
nasium Friday night, when vaude-
willie entertainment will be held. Four
new members were admitted last even
ing. There is considerable talk of in
stalling tenpin alleys at the club, and
at an adjourned meeting to be held
night the report Of spec
ial committee appointed to investigate
the proposal will be received. Ten
pins is now being generally bowled.
and, while cocked-hat will continue TO
be the standard game at the club, II
is believed many will take up with the
other game. The club is in flourish
ing condition at present and every
week is adding materially to its>mem-

channel was 100 days, and, with the
exception of a short period when
there was only l7h feet, the ruling
depth at mean low water has been
lSh and 20 feet. As compared with
this. the old crossing shows very un-
favorably. for the latter has required
almost as much dredging each year
aud would shoal up quickly to about
Is feet as soon rs dredging stopped.
"Second-The old channel by Sylvia
de Grasse reef is tortuous and dam
gerous, as It winds around the reef.
To increase the depth along the As
toria front would be very expensive,
as many places are rocky.
"Third-what may be the causes Of
the shoaling of the harbor of Astoria
1t is impossible TO say with the infor-
nation at hand. but il can hardly be
due to the dredging of the new chan
mel. as the work is so arranged that
dredging is done on the lower portion
only during food tide.
''In conclusion, would say that the
actual dredging out of this new cham
mel has not only confirmed all that
was expected, but has given the
greatest satisfaction to all parties in
terested in navigation between Port
land and the sea. To return to the
old route would mean greater expense
every year for less results and more
danger to vessels"

cable Than One Formerly

The efforts of the Astoria Chamber
of Commerce 10 have abandoned work
on what is known as the CUTOFF channe
has been unsuccessful thus far, al
though the matter will not be dropped
The cutoff channel is of recent cre-
alton. Formally the channel at the
eastern end of the harbor followed the
shore almost to the Tongue, but the
cut-off opened up near the Sylvia de
Grasse reef and the dredge Ladd inn
mediately commenced work there.
Lower Astoria harbor at once COM
menced filling below and protest was
filed against the work of deepening
this cutoff channel
The chamber has received replies to
its letters from Robert Shaw oliver,
acting secretary of war, and Briga-
dier-General Makenkie. chief of en-
gineers, U. S. A. Mr.. oliver refers
to Major Langftts report upon the
subject, while General Mackenzie
adds that ANY attempt to revert the
old channel would unquestionably
excite opposition among those inter-
ested in the deep water shipping trade
of Portland and other points above
Astoria, and could hardly fail to
have an unfortunate effect, If sue
cessful.''
The report of Major Langfitt, which
followed the protest of the chamber, is
inclosed by General Mackenzie. 1t is
as follows:
"A petition dated January s, 1902.
was sent to this office by number OF
licensed masters and pilots engaged |
in plotting deep-draft vessels between
Portland and Astoria. requesting that
the dredge Ladd be put to work on
the cutoff channel complained of in !
the petition Authority was asked |
to do the work in a letter to the chief
of engineers dated January 8, 1908 |
and approved by him. The reasons
set forth in my letter in favor of
opening this channel and abandoning
the channel by Sylvia de Grasse reef
and the cut above Tongue Point still
hold good Briefly stated, they were:
THAT the depth along this new
channel had been increasing naturally,
and with but little work there, the
pilots claimed they would be enabled
TO avoid the bad portion of the old
Sylvia de Grasse reef; that. even
with the Improvement of Silvia de
Grasse reef, then contemplated and
under the contract, the new channel,
they claimed, would be better, with
some dredging, than the old.
Taking the statements of the pc
tition of the Astoria Chamber Of
Commerce in detail, would make the
following remarks:
"First-The water seems to flow
much more naturally along the new
channel than through the old cross
ing, as is shown by the relative
amount of dredging required to keep
them open. During the two years
