POLL TAX COLLECTORS
DAY IS OVER
TERM EXPIRED YESTERDAY,
THOUGH COUNTY COURT
MAY EXTEND 1T.

Dudley Blount, the official poll tay
collector, yesterday appealed tc
Howard Brownell, the prosecuting
attorney, for warrants for the arrest
of four men who had both failed and
refused TO pay their poll tax. Mr.
Brownell, not wanting to rush the
men into trouble, called each of them
up by phone and asked if they
were willing to pay up-and notified
them that in the event that the mon
ey was not Forthcoming instanter 1t
would be his plain duty to issue the
warrants. Three of the four at once
got busy" and handed over the casn,
while the fourth seemed to be in
doubt
If his s. is not forthcoming the
warrant will be issued for his arrest,
While yesterday was the last dav
Of the time set for the collection of
the poll taxes it is probable that Mr.,
Blount will ask the county court to
extend the time for week or more
to the end that he may get in some
more Of the money that he has his
eyes on,
1t is said that hardly one-third Of
the money has been gathered that
should be, though it is also said that
Mr., Blount has made far better
showing this year than has been
made for long time,
Next year it is proposed to "get
after" the delinquents in even hard
er manner, OF course if the county
court extends the time for a week or
50 there is still time for many Of the
delinquents to be seen, and it looks
as if the collector is getting in al
mood to ask for warrants against all
those who don't pay up promptly,

LET CONTRACT TO PROP
UP BUILDING
OWNERS or FoARD & STOKES
HALL APPREHENSIvE OVER
THE IRVING SLIDE.

Martin Foard and Frank Stokes
yesterday let contract to Fred
erickson Bros to construct a new
Foundation for tie Foard & Stokes
FhaIl on Exchange street, now used
as the arnory BY the First Company
Il Is probable that the work will
consist largely In strengthening the
present foundations.
So seriously have the foundations
been affected by the Irving slide, IS
Explained in the Astorian OF Sunday
morning, that Mr. Foard became ap-
prehensiye that the structure might
even fall IL immediate steps were not
taken 10 prevent The building it.
self Is strong and we'll built, Or
course, but the movement Of the
ground has caused the supporting
piles to bend until several tiers are
standing at an angle Of perhaps 80
degrees. II also looks as IL the
ground at the rear OF the building
has been rising TO an extent discern
ible 70 the naked eye. The theory
advanced BY Mr.. Tee and another
civil engineer who examined the
structure Is that earth from the top
Of the slide has been carried sub
TREMENDOUSLY out under the tide lands
and slight part Of the bay, coming
to the surface under the building.
One gentleman who has property
in the locality states that this theory
is incorrect, in his opinion, but II
appears plausible and is accepted BY
the owners Of the building.
Frank Stokes came down from
Portland yesterday for the purpose
Of looking the building over, and
later in the day he and Mr.. Foard lei
the contract.
Out around 3sth street there is
also serious trouble with the Irving
improvement. For blocks along that
portion Of the city the Irving work
seemed TO have started a movement
in the ground in direct proximity to
the avenue. Henry Lumpus, whose
house faces on Irving at 3sth street,
win be compelled to move his house,
it is said. 1t is also stated that an
other property owner in that section
will also have to move his house to
save il. Such is the movement of
the ground in that section that
planks are doubling up. There has
been much trouble with the water
pipes, also In answer to inquiries,
superintendent Johnson Of the wat
er department stated yesterday that
the water pipes keep 'buclling" up
along at 34th and Harrison. While
there had been slight movement
there heretofore, Mr., Johnson says 1t
Is three times as great now. II has
been necessary to shorten the water
pipe on S4th street two feet this
fall. According to all who have
knowledge Of the conditions, all this
trouble has been caused BY the i'm
orovement of Irving avenue. For
the trouble is purely local
Ind in no case can extend over any
vide area.
