COOicTDECIDES TO
TAG CITY MESSENGERS
An interested though not
overly large audience was on
hand* to listen to the delibera
:tions oi the city council last
evening, indicating that the be
lief stm persists tnat the present
bou> is apt to do something in
teresting. The counciumanic dig
Hilaries were all present at roil
caff. The minutes were read and
approved
Clerk Grimm presented a com
munication from Dr. Heimlich
asking tnat the council appoint
j committee of three to work
with committees from other or
ganizations toward the develop
ment of a midnight sun carnival,
the proceeds to be devoted to the
establishment of a permanent
children’s playground. The clerk
also read a communication from
City Electrician George Burger
in which he tendered his resigna
tion because of what he termed
inadequate compensation, the
same to take effect June i.
'The city attorney stated that
he thought the city printing con !
tract expired June i but the
mayor remarked that he believ~ ’
ed the same continued until July (
1 but would look it up. The city i
attorney also intimated that the
police committee had refused
his request for an officer to as
sist in the investigation of condi
tions in the red light district. To
dissipate the oppression in that
locality, was the way he put it.
Chairman Thompson of the po~
fjice commitee later replied to
the city attorney’s statement by
remarking that .the police com
mittee was always ready to help
the city attorney but felt that in
the present case he was seeking
to persecute somebody and had,
therefore refused his request for
an officer. Mayor Blake offered
some remarks concerning the
length of time the clean up no
tices of the city physician were
running in the newspapers and
said that he would order them
discontinued on June i.
Councilman McAllister report
ed that the city pumps were in
good order except that the pack
ing was defective and there were
leaks that needed remedying. He
also reported a fire at the Anvil
bakery May 22.
Claims and accounts against
the city totaling $267.67, of
which $211.12 was for labor in
the street department, were read
and, on motion of Thompson,
the labor accounts were ordered
paid
Thompson then presented an
ordinance providing for the lr |
censing of public messengers and
requiring them to wear a badge |
denoting their calling. The same
was to be procured from the city
clerk on payment of $2.50. The
ordinance was adopted under a
suspension of the rules.
Thompson called up the ordi
nance prohibiting the use of the
sewers during the winter months,
presented by Councilman Foteet
last week, and the same was
adopted on roll call.
Bills approved by the finance
committee amounting to ^404.95
were read and ordered paid on
motion of Thompson. Rose
though that the council should
have a copy of the compiled laws
of Alaska and moved that the
same be purchased by the clerk.
1 he motion was adopted.
McAlister wanted to know
it' the hnance committee had
looked up the matter of install
ing a city w eighing scale, as sug- i
gested by himself at an earlier
meeting. He was informed by
i\ose that the committee had in
quired and found that the scales
spoken of by McAllister were in
a bad state and wouid require j
considerable repairs before they |
could be used.
McAllister then brought up
the pumping plant proposal and
said that Keed owed $800 in back
taxes and would be willing to
furnish the city with a sixty
horse power Scotch marine boil
er suitable for the pumping plant
by way of payment. With this
boiler and the La France engine
tie thought the city could start
the pumping plant without a
great deal of cost. Mayor Blake
remarked that a 60 horse power'
ooiler was rather small but Mc
Allister figured that another of j
equal size could be added at a
1 tater period The main thing was
| to get started. It was not going
j to cost a fortune to start a pump
ing plant. In fact it would real
ly cost very little. The primary
object was to get it started be
fore the expiration of the con~;
tract now in force. Mayor Blake
suggested that some one should
be appointed to investigate the
.ooiler referred to, and averred
mat he was working on the
proposal and thought something
should be done before July. Mc~
.Allister then dug up the coal
yard question and asked if any
thing had been heard respecting
the telegram sent to A. H.
Moore.
Mayor Blake answerd that no
reply had been received. McAl
lister then urged the necessity of
haste in this matter as well as
[ the pumping plant. One of his
suggestions was that the city
charter a boat and bring in its
own coal. He declared that the
business men were afraid of the
companies and it was no use for
the council to wait for the cham
ber of commerce or anyone else!
Flic only way to do anything
was to start at it. This bit of
philosophy seemed to appeal to
Ross who remarked that he
though it a very good idea to
look into the boiler matter and
get something going. Thompson
also put in a few words along
the same line and moved that a
committee be appointed to look
up the boiler matter. Mayor
Blake then named Thompson and
Ross and was going to quit at
that when McAllister announced
that he too would act on that
committee as long as he was on
the fire and water committee
anyway. The meeting then ad*
journed on motion of Rose.

are coining down the river and

which will probably cause a still
further rfsc. Up to the time of
writing no damage has been re
ported.
The ice jam at the mouth of
Snake river broke about three
this afternoon thereby freeing the
waters which were backed up to
an unusual height. The water is
reported very high on Dry creek
and threatens tn» safety of tlu
Dry creek bridge. The road com

the structure to prevent it being
damaged.
