IRVING AVENUE JOKER
IN THE DECK
WHEN VOTERS HANDLE THE
CARDS TOMORROW THEY'RE
LIKELY TO PLAY 1T.

The speeter of the Irving slide
constantly arises to plague the mem.
herS OF the common council and
like BanQuo's ghost, nothing viii
keep It down, Al the meeting OF
the council last night there were
four or Ave communications in the
possession OF the city auditor, all re.
lating 10 the slide, and all speaking OF
the negligence" and "carelessness"
in carrying on the work, and all stat
ing that the city would be held re-
sponsihle to property,
The last communication to be filed
was by d, II. Welch and Is here
with given in full as an illustration
of the attitude that is apparently be.
ing taken by all the property
owners:
"Gentlemen;--I desire to call your
attention to the damage being done
to the buildings and property on
Block Is, Shively's Astoria, by the
Irving slide and which block Is d.
reetiy north OF said slide.
There have been six families who
have moved on, of the houses on ae-
count OF the damage being done
thereto, and two Of said families
have moved out Of my houses on ae-
count OF the damage.
"Your honorable body have had
sufficient time to remedy said slide
and TO stop the damages to the prop
erty owners, failed to take action in
stopping said damage, and you have
sufficient time as yet to stop much
more damage being done, AT the
last meeting OF the council il was
stated that action would be imme-
diately taken, but as yet nothing has
been done to avert the continual
sliding of the ground and damage to
the properties. As an interested
party, | consider by your actions in
the matter that the City OF Astoria,
and possibly as well the council. in
dividually, are responsible for any
and all damage done to the proper
ties. on account Of your or someone's
neglect in the premises. My property
is-si0 feet from the north line OF the
Irving-avenue improvement.
Trusting you will take immediate
action to stop further damage being
done, remain, yours truly,
I'D. H. WEIGH"
With the Irving-avenue improve
ment in the minds Of the voters, and
with the fact that scores OF lots have
been "conhscated" given up by the
owners, who could not afford to pay
the heavy assessments thereon -
there seems little question that these
things will play an important part in
the election tomorrow There have
been or will be over 1900 deeds placed
on record by the city Of "conhscated"
lots.

road law is a fortunate event in the
history of road improvement in
Oregon. While that law does not
meet the requirements of conditions
in all communities, it is an effect
i've measure where circumstances
make it applicable. The law pro-
vides for the permanent improve
ment of a highway at the expense
of owners of property within two
miles on either side of the road,
the cost to be paid in installments.
The principle is the same as that
upon which most of the street i'm
provement laws are based. The
work cannot be done without the
consent of the property Owners
themselves, and, on the other hand,
a minority cannot prevent the work.
Whether improvements shall be
made under that statute is optional
with those who are most directly
interested. Its provisions are not
obligatory upon any community
In some localities it is quite likely
that this method of paying the cost
of road improvement. would be
found unsatisfactory, but it is well
to have the law upon the statute
books for the benefit of those who
wish to operate under it. The law
is fair and reasonable and was wise
ly upheld. .-Oregonian.

County High School.

AZ tllO ulCSllllS VI VIC lOlcuO
Development League last Saturday
evening the proposition of a County
High School was taken up. A
committee was appointed to circu-
late a petition asking the County
Court to have placed upon the bal
lot at. the coming June election the
proposition as to whether the voters
of this county desire a county high
school. The following taken from
the Oregon School Laws, section
300, says: The county court, at
any general election to be held in
any county after the passage of
this act, upon the presentation of a
petition signed by one hundred or
more qualified electors, taxpayers
OF said county, must submit the
question of establishing and main
tanning county high school to the
qualified electors thereof. The
ballots for such election shall con-
tain the words, For County High
School-Yes;" !" For County High
School-No;" and the voter shall
indicate his choice as provided in
the Australian ballot law"
Section 221 says If the majority
OF all votes cast on the proposition
to establish a county high school
are in the affirmative, it shall be
the duty of the county court, with
in thirty days after canvassing said
vote, to locate said school IN some
suitable and convient place in said
county. The county court shall
also estimate the cost of a suitable
lot, erecting a building and furnish
ing same for the accommodation of
such school, with the cost of con-
Quoting such school for the next
twelve months; provided, that the
county court, or the high school
board, as herein constituted, may
rent suitable rooms for the accom-
mediation of the school. If rooms
can be obtained in the public school
buildings in the place in which the
said school shall be located, they
shall be given the preference; pro-
vided, further, that said board may
contract with the board of directors
of any district IN the county that
now maintains, or may hereafter
maintain, a school of high school
grade to, teach all county high
school pupils at such rate per capita
or in the aggregate, as they may
deem right and just, and shall pay
for the same out OF the high school
fund"
For the past two years Toledo
school district has maintained a
district high school and it has
proven convenience to the
scholars and patrons. In years
past dozens of pupils from Lincoln
county who desired higher studies
than the public schools afforded
were compelled to 60 outside
the county for from one to two
years to take up the studies SUP
piled by the high school prepatory
to entering college. With the
county high school this expense
and inconvenience to. pupil and
parents will be Eliminated. The
cost OF maintaining a county high
school would be very small com
pared with the advantages in saw
ing OF tuition, board, etc, in at
tending school outside the county,
the increase in our population, and
many other ways. Let us all pull
Tor the County High School.
