SEA-WALL RECORDS AS
THEY STAND NOW
RELATIVE MERITS OF THE
VOTE AND PROTEST IN
THIS BEHALF.

toria, against the present ScaWai'
BILL as the same has been set up and
referred to the common council by
the common council charter commit
tee, and adopted, for reference to the
people OF Astoria, will not be forgot
ten nor allowed to drift into the
limbo OF overlooked things, by any
manner OF means, For, as the sum
OF $l2,SS4 (the sum OF the taxable
property for last year, OF the hve
councilmen who voted the thing into
official and legal status) is to the sum
OF $56s,46o (the sum OF the taxable
property Of the los protestants. for
the same period so is the ratio OF
opposition to the measure in this
city. This is the condition OF affairs
in this relation now, and it will not
change in favor of the bill between
this and the first Tuesday in Decem-
Der next.
1t is only fair TO the general public
that these ratios should be known, III
order that the relative bearings OF
the groups at interest may be honest
" and manifest in the resume that
will surely be made, before the issue
is laid; and to this end the Morning
Astorian today offers the contrast, as
follows:
As to the council, it will, in all
probability, be claimed that the mem
bers thereof, stand for all the taxable
wealth OF the city and should not be
segregated, but for once, as means
OF balance the weights OF responsible
ity in the premise, this presentation
is made, with the further statement
that the three members of the council
who voted against the bill, may be
said to have represented the compo-
site wealth OF the city as well as their
colleagues, and spoke for it in the
same way. The five gentlemen who
carried it, and ther taxable showings,
are as follows, George Kaboth, $7443;
Jens H. Hansen, $602; c. A. Leinen-
weber, $505; w. c. Logan, $1,000; H.
L. Henderson, $l74; total, $l2,3S4.

had no standing in the matter, other
than to have their bill OF exceptions

sideration, and their respective tax
