TAXPAYER HAS A WORD OF
CAUTION IN REGARD TO. A
SEAWALL AND ITS ATTEND
ANT PUBLIC COSTS.

The following communication was
fled in this Office yesterday with a
request that it be published, favor
that is conceded, as much for the
temperate and reasonable treatment
OF broad and popular topic, as for
the Astorian's desire to publish every
thing of rational sort in this connec-
ton, for, and against, the enterprise,
in order that the voting citizens OF
Astoria may have full and accurate
estimate Of the project by the time
their votes shall be demanded in final
solution of the question:
"To the Editor:
II have listened to considerable
wild talk about the seawalp for some
time by men who was convinced,
did not know what they were talking
about, but in a local of the evening
paper, | read what purported to be a
synopsis Of the ideas Of the commit
tee appointed by the common council,
to formulate bill for the considera-
ton Of the voters at the coming city
election, authorizing the building Of
seawall in front of the city and fill
ing in the streets and lots, etc.
81 wish to say that am heartily
in favor of, and will aid, as far as in
me lies, any measure that may be in
augurated for the advancement or
betterment of the city OF Astoria.
Knowing, however, the disposition Of
many Of my fellow citizens, TO bite
off more than they can chew and
their tendency to rush in, without
much consideration as to where they
are to come out, | therefore, feel
some anxiety as to the outcome Of
many of their schemes.
Personally, am not competent to
plan or build a seawall and know
that members of the common coun-
Gil are in about the same fix as ! am,
in that respect, such matters having
been outside Of their training and
business experience, but my own ex-

STILL PROMISES
NEW SYSTEM
MANAGER OF PACIFIC STATES
COMPANY REITERATES AS
SURANcES THAT SYSTEM
WILL BE BETTERED.

Several more men have been addet
to the force employed by the Pacific
States Telephone Company, and the
work OF changing the wires over tc
cables is progressing rapidly In a
letter written to the Chamber OF
Commerce in reply to communica-
ton recently received by him. Mr.,
Brunold, local manager of the com
pany, states that this work is prepa-
ratory to the installation of new in
struments and new switchboard,
Patrons of the Astoria Telephone
Company, according to the comments
heard on the streets and in other
places where the telephone matter
has been discussed during the past
week, seem to be well satisfied with
the efforts made by Mr., Brunold to
better the service The criticisms are
in no wise made against him.
Perhaps it is times that our side
OF the matter be heard little" said
Mr.. Brunold in reply to questions put
to him by a representative of The
Astorian last evening. 1T is erron-
eousc to say that we are starting
work now, We are simply continu-
ing what had already been commenc-
ed, though the employment OF new
men will permit the work to go on
more rapidly That new wires, new
and a new switchboard
are to be installed within reasonably
short time is an assured fact. The
preparatory work is being done rap
idly now. 1t is only a matter of a
reasonably short time before the en-
tire work will be completed. | am
sorry that | cannot state just when
the new instruments and switchboard
will be here, but my personal belief
is that it will be very short time.
when our system is completed it
will be strictly up-to-date. 1t is al
pretty big undertaking to completely
overhaul telephone system, and per
haps it is only fair that the public be
asked to exercise little patience" :"
Mr.. Brunold said that the service
now given is excellent; that is, the
time required by the operators to re-
spond to call is merely matter OF
a second or so. Others have observ-
ed that the girls are responding
quickly.
That the patrons will wait patient
" for the Pacific States Company to
rehabilitate its system may be expect
ing too much, though It is evident
that Mr.. Brunold thinks it is only
fair and right that it should Right
fully or wrongfully, the impression
gained by the patrons seems to be
that the promises OF the company are
hardly to be trusted, though there is |
no doubt that many are disposed to
feel that the best outcome of the
matter would be that the present COM
pany should go ahead and improve its
entire system SO that proper service
could be had. The idea Of two com
peting companies, or of a municipal
system, apparently meets with little
favor.
