CITY COUNCIL APPOINTS LAST
OFJIFFICIAL FAMILY
^uite 4 good sized audience
again greeted the city council
vvnen tney took their seats tor
the regular weekly deliberations
at the city hall last evening. Evi
dently ttie visitors had atl idea
that there might be some fire
works but if this was the case
they were doomed to disappoint
ment for not even a sputter de
veloped. All the councilmen
were present when Mayor Blake
called the meeting to order short
ly alter the usual hour. The min
utes of the previous meeting were
read and approved after a small
error had been noted by Thomp
son, who has a watchful eye for
such things. The mayor deviated
somewhat from the usual order
of business by calling for the re
ports of city officers immediately
after the reading of the minutes
The city health officer, Dr. Chace,
w'as the only one to respond. His
report which was read by the
clerk, made several recomenda*
tions relative to needs of his of
fice in the shape of report blanks,
advised the purchase of a new
supply of diphtheria serum on
opening of navigation and the in
stallation of a garbage can at the
city hall. He also recommended
that property holders be notified
to clean up their premises in the
near future and that there is one
patient in the hospital and two
deaths, both natives, during his
tenure of office.
Under the head of new business
it was moved by Thompson that
the recommendation embodied in
the report be granted and it was
so ordered- Reporting for the
committee on street, alleys and
lights Councilman Poteet said
that the drains are all in good
order along Front street and
everything was in good shape for
the breakup.
Councilman McAllister of the
fire committee reported that the
fire pumping plant had been in
spected during the week and
while the pumps were in good
shape, there was something
wrong with the suction. Could
not tell what it was owing to
the entire suction being buried in
the sand but it sucked air and he
did not consider it at all safe- He
thought the city should look into
it.
Claims and accounts aggregat
ing $1,339.61 and including the
city pay roll were read and on
motion of Burgh the items com
ing under the head of bills for
labor were ordered paid. The
clerk called the attention of the
mayor to the matter of communi
cations and that order of business
was then called.
The first was a communication
from Colonel Richardson thank
ing the council for its hearty en
dorsement of .the work of the
road commission some months
back; the second was a telegram
to the mayor from the Alaska
delegate in answer to one ad
dressed to him by the council rel
ative to Morningside and stated
that he had called the matter to
the attention of Governor Strong
and Secretary Lane. A commun*
icatvr was also read from the
sc! col board requesting that the
sum of $1,000 be set aside for

current expenses and a copy of a
'telegram forwarded to \V icKer
sham requesting him to use his
efforts to secure the passage of a
bill enabling the city to issue
bonds in the sum of fifty thou
sand dollars for the pumping,
lighting plant and coal yard pro
jects.
Under the head of unfinished
business Councilman Burgh
brought up the matter of appoint
ing a patrolman. The idea was
nr i-t-able to the council amT the
following nominations were
made. Wm. Dougherty by
Thompson, Wm. Eddy by Ross,
Robert James by Mayor Blake.
On roll call Burgh, McAllister,
Rose and Ross voted for Eddy,
Poteet and Thompson for Dough
erty, and Mayor Blake for James.
Eddy was declared elected
Thompson then moved that the
newly appointed patrolman take
up his duties on May 15. There
were no objections and it was so
ordered.
Under new business Burgh
moved that the request of the
school board for funds for April
be granted. This passed, and
and also the motion of Thomp
son that the recommendations
embodied in the report of the
city physician be acepted. Coun
cilman Ross informed the council
that the snow hauling contract
terminated May 1 and wanted the
contract read for the enlighten
ment of the new street commit
tee. He was informed that it could
be seen any time in the office of
the city clerk.
Councilman Burgh wanted to
know if the La France fire en
gine belonging to the city could
not be placed at the fire station
for emergency pumping purposes,
Thompson though it was bettei
to investigate the pumping appa
ratus before subjecting the city
to the expense of placing the en
gine in position to be of service
McAllister made a strong talk fot
a new suction for the present sys
tem and urged the early installa
tion of the projected municpal
pumping plant. He asserted that
the plant should be rebuilt before
the expiration of the present
pumping contract as the cost of
Repairing the present apparatus
coupled with the four thousand
dollars per year paid the power
company for power would build
a municpal plant. The mayor
then appointed a committee, con
sisting of Thompson, McAllister
and Poteet to investigate the suc
tion and report during the week.
Thompson thought that several
committees should be appointed to
look into the costs of building a
municipal* plant and to consider
the question of boilers, etc. The
mayor agreed with the idea and
appointed Councilman Ross and
Kose to act as a committee on
building and also consider the
question of boilers. McAllister
said he would also serve on that
committee as he was a boiler
maker by trade. The matter pro
voked considerable discussion,
but it seemed to be the view of
the council that some active
measures should be taken to at
feast ascertain the approximate
costs of the proposed plant.
Before the meet.ng adjourned
McAllister wanted the pumping
contract read but was told it could
be seen in the clerk’s office any
time.
