CITY COUNCIL HOLDS
WINDY POW-WOW
Whether the beautiful evening causec
the defection or not, is hard to say, but
there was a noticeable lessening In tilt
number attending the weekly meeting
if the city council last night A goodly
j sprinkling of spectators were on hand,
' however, who listened with rapt nt
■
tcntlon to the words oi wisdom flowing
j tr 'in the eouncilmanle lips at intervals
during the session And the council
was sun- some busy, albeit It was most
ly wind, as the sum total of the business
was small.
Tlie honorable mayor and all the
councilman wer on hand when Clerk
Grimm called the roll and responded to
their names in sonorous tones. The
minutes were read and approved after
some slight corrections had been noted.
A communication was lead from the
Alaska delegate relative to the bill in
troduced by him to allow the bonding
of the city for municipal utilities and
stating that the outlook lor securing
passage at present was not particularly
bright.
A communication signed by A. Galvin
offered to purchase lot 4 .block 33, for
the sum of $20 if the council saw fit to
accept the offer. Tlie writer averred that
tile building occupying the lot was III a
a lapidated condition and most unsight
ly and his desire to purchase was large
ly animuted by a wisiS to tear it down
and relieve his home of a dismal pros
pect
A communication was also read from
the school board requesting the sum
of $1,200 for defraying the costs of con
ducting the school during the month of
May.
The report ot the city treasurer was
read, disclosing that there was tt bnl
anci of $4,460.33 on hand. The report ot
the city clerk was to the same effect.
City Attorney O'Neill advised that the
council tune no oction with respect to i
a dehipldated building, mentioned at an
- iriler meeting, us he was informed that
Andy Anderson was in communication
wit the owner, Mrs. Chilberg, with
reference to same and action had better
b. di ferred for the present.
Tlie report ot the city physician was
read showing one patient in the hospi
tal under city care. There were no
births nor deaths during the month of
May [The restaurants and markets,
etc had been Inspected and some cor
rections ordered in several Instances
lb also advised that closed refuse cans
should be employed by the city and also
that the refuse at the river mouth be
piped away.
Councilman McAllister, of the Are and
water committee, announced that the
flro pumps had been overhauled and
repacked. Several other repairs had also
been made and the pumps were ni^w In
ns good condition as could be expected.
Hoss. reporting for the committee ap
pointed to look into the Reed boiler
proposal submitted at the previous
meeting, said that he had given the
matter his attention. He had found that
It i d would land the boiler on the old
Eli t hotel lot for one thousand dollars,
after placing the same In good condi
tion by installing new flues, etc. Rosa
thought that it would be a good thing
to lake advantage of the offer as It
would be a “starter’’ for the proposed
pumping plant, especially as It would
cost the city little cash outlay owing to
the readiness of Mr. Reed to let his
taxes, amounting to about $800, apply
on the purchase Itoss said that If the
; council wanted to go ahead with the
matter lie would look up a suitable
building
Poteet objected that a sixty horse
power (boiler was too small as two
’ such boilers would be required to run
the city pumps McAllister declared that
the boiler could handle both pumpB very
1 Well but thought thut another boiler
should be Installed, anyway, to insure
that tlie plant should have ample power
at all times. The mayor said that he
would like the committee to Investi
gate further. The subject was then
dropped for the time being but was later
brought up by Ross, who moved that
the city take an option on the boiler,
for a period of ninety days. Some more
discussion followed but it was finally
resolved to secure the option.
A numerous array of bills were pre
sented by the clerk and it was ordered
that the labor bills be paid and the
rest handed over to the finance com
mlttee. McAllister handed in an ordi
nance providing for the licensing of ex
pressmen, said license to upply to single
| horse express drivers and the tax to
j bp Ppp annum. The same was rttsh
| ed into law immediately through a sus
pension of the rules.
The auditor's bill for $350 was then
, taken tip and considerable discussion i
followed. The mayor thought that the
I bill was pretty steep. Thompson finally !
J settled the matter by stating that no
| agreement had been made as to the
, sum to be paid so It was plainly up
| to the council to come through In ac
| eordance with Mr. Milot's demands. If
the council had been so negligent as to
over look making a bargain with the
auditor, thev had no one to blame but
themselves if the bill appeared exorbi
tant. He thereupon moved that the bill
be paid. The motion was seconded by
Ross and a roll call ordered with the
result that the motion carried with
the mayor voting no and Poteet, Ross,
Rose and Thompson voting yes. Burgh
and McAllister passed.
The resignation of City Electrician
George Burger was brought up and ac
cepted.
Councilman McAllister brought up the
coal question and said that a commit
tee should be appointed to Interview
Wittenberg before the departure of the
Challenge with a view to getting that
vessel to bring down a cargo of coal
from the Llsburno mines. The council
man said he was informed that there are
some seven or eight hundreds tons of ■
coal already mined. The Challenge J
could carry about sixty tons and he1'
thought It would be a good idea to start j
the proposed municipal coal yard with !
our own coal. More argument followed I
but It was finally decided to appoint a |
committee and Poteet and McAllister j
were named to Interview Wittenberg and
find out If he would consent to take the
matter up.
Thompson moved that the request of
thp school board be granted and It was
so ordered. The report of the school
board for the year was read and showed
that the total receipts had been $11,400,
and the expenditures $11,490.83 of $90.83
over the estimated allowance.
This brought forth a suggestion from
Councilman Burgh thut the school board
meet with the city council to talk things
over relative to school management.
Fred Ayer, secretary of the boarA,
who was present, said that it was high
time the council took some action to
settle school matters for the coming
term. He called attention the fact
that the board were working to great
disadvantage under the restrictions of
the council. He thought the conduct of
the schools should b0 left to the school
board or el*p the board had better be
dispensed with and the council run the
schools themselves. The board was dis
playing great economy and were keeping
the expenses down to a point where
further reductions would endanger effi
ciency. Mr. Ayer concluded his remarks
with an appeal for an allowance of at
least $1,200 per annum for school main
tenance und declared that the school
could not well be run for less If proper
salaries were paid the teaching staff
He also said that if the council wanted
to do any retrenching, the schools should
be the Inst place to commence on
The matter was argued wlndlly by
the council for a while but it was finally
decided to allow the sum asked for, for
the ensuing year.
Poteet brought up the matter of the
desolate Isolation of the Sandspitters,
since the foot bridge went by the board, j
and said something should be done. Me- I
Alllster suggested that the bridge be i
replaced by driving new piling and j
suspending the wreck thereon. The I
matter was finally left to the street I
l
committee. |
The coal question was again revived j
this time by Ross, who said that the I
council should get in touch with Olaf
Swenson of the steamer Belvidere as
It might be possible to bring over coal
from Siberia. Swenson coaled his vessel
in Siberia and It might be possible that
he could bring over a supply for Nome. |
No action was taken.
An Interminable discussion over can
celling warrants that wer0 already out
lawed by the statute of limitation fol
lowed and kept the councllmanic jaws
working until some one moved that the
warrants be declared outlawed: and It
was so ordered.
Rose moved that the council accept
the $20 offer of Mr. Oulvln, contained
in his communication, and after some
more arguing "it was finally ngreed to
accept some, providing Galvin assumed
ill responsibility for the removal of the
building.
Tbp council then held another talk
feat over the return of a total of $22
in tax overcharges made by the city
clerk. Some of them were as low as
‘.wo rents and none amounted to any
thing. The clerk said it would be some
job to find the persons to whom the
money was due. Burgh said the money
had ought to be applied to paying the
auditor's hill as ho was responsible for
the location of the overcharges.
After a little more talk It was dc
decided to return the money The coun
cil then adjourned.
