OTHER MATTERS.

A communication was received
from the promotion committee of the
Chamber Of Commerce stating that
Il required $4,000 TO carry on its
publicity work for the coming year:
the communication intimating thai
the city might help. The communi-
cation was fled, not meeting with
favor, and one of the councilman
smoke forcibly on the matter.
The committee on public property
reported in favor Of purchasing lots
I, and 2, block s. Taylor's Astoria.
from Mike Matlin, to be used as a
site for a FIRE station. The site is on
Melbourne avenue. The report was
laid over until an ordinance can be
prepared on the matter, andfurther,
Investigation can be made in the
meantime.
Committee recommended that the
bulkheods and fences at the old
Hillside Cemetery be repaired, and
the council adopted the recommen-
dation.
The communication from the
Chamber Of Commerce suggesting
that the city establish a market place
was Sled, without action, Council
ma stangeland Of the committee said
II was a very hard matter to find a
saitable site for such purpose and
Tfia1 the city owned no property
which can be used for a market place
II seems an unfortunate matter that
this question is dropped by the coun-
eli, as there is a great need for such
place, and many have thought the
council could establish market
place without much cost. A vacant
lot and some sheds would be enough
TO start with.
Communication from the Motor
Club. received some time ago, asking
for permission to use certain por-
tions Of streets that lie in the water
as mooring grounds for their craft
was acted upon favorably. The coun'
ell had vacated these river ends Of
the streets. but it is said that per
kans the vacation was illegal. Per

Anton Theodosius. saloon men who
were said to have transferred their
licenses without right to do so, was
dropped,
MAYORS MESSAGE.
Mayor Smith addressed q short
message to the council which was
listened to with much interest. He
suggested that the numerous old de-
eayed and dilapidated shaeks that
disgrace the city's water front should
be taken down. and that the city
should take steps to have them legal
" razed, That they should be abated
as nuisances, Mayor Smith suggested
that the mere sight of these old
shaeks along the waterfront perhaps
does the city as much harm every
year, being seen by the thousands
who pass up and down the river in
steamers, as all the money expended
in advancing the city does good, and
the intimation was that as long as
they remain as a disgrace to the
waterfront there is mighty little need
of trying to boost" Astoria as a
good place 10 come to.
Mayor Smith also referred to the
solicitors who infest the city selling
wildcat stock in oil wells, gold mines
and other ventures that have no real
being except on paper. and suggested
that an ordinance should be passed
providing for heavy weekly license
from all such solicitors. The message
was referred to the committee on
ways and means, the committee on
health and police and the city attor-
ney and it is probable that something
will come out Of both suggestions.
"oWL" SALOON AGAIN.
Isaac Rosedale. whose application
for license in the Owl saloon, was
refused at the last meeting of the
council, also entered another applica-
ton for license in the same place
again last night. 1t was referred to
committee as usual without COM
ment.
DOG NUISANCE ORDINANCE.
The dog nuisance ordinance was
passed upon third reading and will
become law when il receives the
mayors signature. The measure pro-
vides that all fruits, vegetables, etc,
either in the stores or if set outside
on view, must be kept at least n
inches from the floor.

criticism of the court. Mr.. Roosevelt
conferred with legal talent in regard
to bill, which would circumyent the
courts ruling. President Taft, who
is a great lawyer. after consulting
other legal members of his cabinet,
has suggested to congress the submits
sion of a constitutional amendment,
expressly comforting on the federal
government the authority to tax in
comes. He thinks II might be indis-
pensible to the nation in certain
crises, such as the necessity for i'm
mediate revenue under pressure Of
falling public credit.
That is President Taft's way. He
will conform to the law, without
question of the courts integrity. and
he will have his way; but 1t will al
ways be an orderly way. Respect for
the law and social order are prime
necessities in a popular government.
That is the keynote Of President
Tafts methods. He Is progressive.
His speeches during the campaign
made that plain, but when there is
apparent hesitancy OF the executive
in obeying to a popular demand, we
must consider Mr.. Taft's clearer
viewpoint, and satisfy ourselves that
when the end is accomplished 1t will
be without the slightest shock to
social order.
