ASTOR STREET is
BEING IMPROVED
viii Have the Highest Crown Of Any OF Astoria $
Thoroughfares

Al all events, an inspection OF the
streets will show that generally speak
,ng the crowns are quite low, even
when the specifications called tor
crowns OF certain heights, and IN
many particular places the streets
are quite Hat. The question is, OF
course. not one OF praise or blame;
Il is merely one OF expediency. Of
course ii the street roller, as It passes
from one place TO another, and the
ordinary use Of the streets by We
iicles, and the washing away OF the
crowns by the rains, soon leaves
many OF the thoroughfares with prac-
tieally no crowns-that is another
question which probably demands
some study to provide condition OF
permanency for the comparatively
low crowns established in the begin
ming. For with the conditions here,
il seems not sufficient to first provide
A crown OF a certain height, Plans
must be made to keep the crown at
the specified height. The Astor street
crown will probably be good object
lesson in the utility-or the reverse
Of high crown. Astor street is oU
feet wide, with eight-foot sidewalks,
and 10 feet taken off OF each side,
leaving 40 feet for the street proper.
For 40-foot street an lS-inch crown
is admittedly as high as used any
where, and perhaps it may seem too
high to many here who are aecus-
toned TO fiat streets or comparative
" low crowns.
Very fine cement sidewalks are
being constructed on the Astor street
Improvement. They may prove about
the finest in the city, and to some It
may appear unfortunate that all this
fine work is not being done in some
other and more prominent portion OF
the city, But with the use OF high
crowns and deep cutters, another
question arises of no little practical
importance. AS one steps from the
sidewalk into the cutters in passing
over street crossings the drop OF III,
II or Is inches is too great for COM
fort or safety The usual. plan Is to
have cutters as deep as the crown IS
high. The trouble is already appar-
ent on the Astor street improvement,
and it is usually obviated by any one
OF several plans. Everyone knows
that to suddenly drop from the side
walk into the gutter, from to Y
or IS inches, especially in the dark, IS
highly unpleasant thing. In cities
that take much care with their streets
the usual plan is not to permit any
udden drops at all at crossings.

The beautiful weather Of the pas'
lew weeks has been highly favorable
to the progress Of the various I'M
proyements about the city and much
has been accomplished by the con-
tractors. If the good weather con-
tinues for few weeks longer il is
said the contractors then should be IN
fairly good shape with much OF the
work on hand.
Work on the Astor street improve
ment, from the west line OF Sixth
street to the east line Of Eighth, has
been in progress for week OF more,
This street promises to be one OF the
very best in the city Of Astoria, and
many will be disposed to observe ~
construction and subsequent hfe with
interest. Contractor +, A. Gerding
has the Job. This Astor street i'm
proyement is the first in this city with
an lS-inch crown. No other crown
has been actually anywhere as high
as this. in Astoria, though several
have been pretty high according to
the specifications. Some are already
complaining that the l8-inch crown
will prove too high Others point
out that the experiment should prove
an interesting and valuable one.
For years I've been talking high
crowns" said Mr. Kearney, the street
superintendent, yesterday, "and !
think this Astor street Improvement
promises to be just what the city re-
ouires for its streets. We must have
high crowns"
For the past several weeks rep
resentative of The Astorian has care
fully observed virtually all the new
streets in the city, and in all parts OF
the city, and probably if It were pos
sible to present the actual facts and
figures in regard to the crowns on
most Of the streets, measured with
great nicely, there would be some
little surprise manifested. Some OF
the streets indicate no crowns at all.
They are simply fiat. In very many
places the streets are either quite hat
or comparatively fat, and it is impos-
sible for the surface waters on them
10 run into the cutters. During the
summer rains it was noticed that on
many of the streets the waters ran
along the middle OF the thorough
fares with practically no waters IN
the cutters. In some places the
streets at the point Of contact with
the cutters are lower tran the gut
tiers. There seem to be various rea-
sons for this condition of the streets.
First OF all the improvements have
commonly called for crowns OF only
six, eight or nine inches. The use Of
the heavy steam roller has apparent
" had great tendency to hatten the
streets out, leaving little or no
crowns. When the roller moves along
the center there is natural tendency
to crush the loose rock out towards
the sides. And especially the driving
of the steam roller along the streets
after they have been accepted and are
in daily use, as the roller is moved
about from one place to another, has
had this fattening tendency, It IS said.
Again, there being comparatively low
crowns, the waters move more or
less along the center OF the streets
and soon wash away more or less OF
the crown; besides, the ordinary use
of the streets by wagons soon wears
much OF the crown away
