COUNCIL MEETING WAS A
VERY BUSY ONE
Last night the meeting of the
City Council was an interesting one,
the mayor and every member being
present when Town Clerk Plumley
called the roll
Word had apparently been passed
out that something was going to be
doing, for there were at least fifteen
or twenty spectators present, but all
went merrily as a wedding bell.
The usual bunch of monthly bills
were disposed of, the different com
mittees reported and then came thr
point of the evening, when a state
ment was made by the mayor that
he had heard objections to one of
the police force. Chairman Patching,
of the police committee, stated that
his committee was planning an in
vestigation of the report and asked
that the matter be left in their hands,
which was done.
A petition signed by 223 residents
of the town was presented, asking for
the immediate construction of the
Cliff Avenue road. On mot'mi r.f
Councilman Henneghan. the petition
was referred back to the petitioners
on the ground that same did not con
form the law, which requires that
two-thirds of the property holders in
the district affected shall sign the
petition stipulating what proportion
of the expense they are prepared to
meet.
Later Councilman Eyus Introduced
the following resolution: Whereas,
notion is now being taken for the
building of a road along the water
• front from Ketchikan to Charcoal
?oint, a part of such rao dbeing with
in the townsite of Ketchikan. H'
lolved. that when a legislative appru
iropriation is available for the pur
>ose of building such road without
lie said townsite, the town of Ketchi
i a stands ready to build the porti
lliin her boundaries, t’pon mothr
lie resolution was adopted by a utian
inious vote of the Council and tlie
clerk was instructed to furnish a
■opy of same to the Commercial Club.
Councilman Steers as chairman of
lie committee appointed to look into
lie matter of charges being levied
lgainst gas boats for the use of the
•ity floats submitted the following
male of prices, which were adopted
mil the Clerk instructed to draw up
m ordinance on same.
YEARLY RATES—THREE MONTHS
OR MORE
Five tons or under $2.50
Over 5 tons and under 10 5.00
Over 10 tons 7.50
WEEKLY RATE
All sizes .50,
Seventy-two hours free use of float
allowed.
The plan to adopt the above scab
of prices for the use of tie town
floats is the result of requests from
gnsboat men that the city furnish
additional float room. It will be
necessary thos coming year to expend
between two and three thousand dol
lars on new floats, and the Council
is of the opinion that the boats should
pay a small rental for the conven
ience of the floats.
For ten days only wo will sell oil
goods at greatly reduced prices. If
you wish to save money don't miss
this opportunity. JERNTGAN BROS.
