Sundry advertisements Of the Unior

According to these advertisements

health regulations" and "THE only
plant in Oregon operating under the

Editor Astorian--
THE quickest way to get a respect

the subscribers to unite and notify
the company that they will not pa
tronizc it after 90 days, unless it
shall have, by that time, installed a
frst-class plant and service in the

Dear Judge
"'The next Grand Jury IL
going 10 be asked 70 expert
the County Courts expendi-
lures on roads and bridges.
CITIZEN"
The ABOVE anonymous communica-
ton was received by the county court
yesterday. The handwriting is quite
legible and the communication was
evidently indited BY man oi At least
some intelligence. Who the author
is cannot even be guessed, and appar-
emily the members OF the court are
not even trying to guess, The COM
munication merely caused a smile,
and an offer on the part Of the court
to give all the help possible TO the
grand jury or anyone else that may
wish to expert the books.
The most important matter that
arose in the session Of the county
court yesterday was the letting OF a
contract TO construct bridge over
the Necanicun. The bid made by
John Matsoi was accepted. at $542o.
He agrees to build the bridge within
80 days. Three other bids were as
follows: l.. Lcbeck, $54S2; I. A.
Davis, $64l9; and Birch & Jacobson
entered thre bids, depending upon the
character OF the work required, their
lowest being S56S5.70, The county
court was well satisfied with the bid
accepted, it being nearly $1,000 below
the estimate made.
Other matters passed upon by the
court were mostly OF routine nature.
Judge Trenchard believes that the
electric light pole directly in front OF
the court house should be removed.
1t is quite unsightly. Apparently the
company is not anxious to meet the
county courts wishes in regard to
this pole. and the assistant district
attorney, Mr.. Brownell, was asked to
look into the matter and see what can
be done. Judge Trenchard was au-
by the court 10 make con-
tract with A. R. Foote TO complete
the filling OF the court house yard
with dirt, at Is cents per cubic yard
1t is hoped TO have this job finished
soon and to make the yard in keeping
with the court house itself The court
gave permission for the benches for
nerly used in the circuit court room
TO be taken for use in the city park,
The resignation Of August Jurke as
-oad superintendent OF district NUM-
Der l8 was accepted and William
Chadwick appointed in his place.
The clerk was instructed to notify
John W. Welch, of the Astoria road
district, and Fred Oman, formerly
of district number one,
hat they have neglected TO straighten
out their accounts The petition OF
Tohn A. Eckstrom and others for a
-oad near Svenson was granted and

Tohn Chitwood were appointed view
ers to meet on July 29 and select a
