crushing defeat on Russia cap

many more. The blow was
unexpectedly delivered on the

of course lacking, but there N
no reason to doubt the trin'n o'

ported that a body of Turkish

A BUSY SESSION
Fixing the 1014 lax levy at
1 1-4 per cent, indefinitely
tabling the Chesney application
for electric franchise, adopting
the findings of the Equalization
Board and threshing out mat
ters in general constituted the
work of the Common Council
last night. Besides this a com
mittee was appointed to con
fer with the Band boys on the
matter of the Town aiding the
Firemans Band.
All the Council were present
and ready for business and
Mayor Harris called them to
order about 8:15 and they got,
down to business in short ord
er.
Current bills were allowed,
committees reported, common
ications were received, the
petition for the Band being a
mong the latter. Mayor Har
ris invited the citizens present,
who would sign the petition, to
express their opinion oil the
matter and Petty, Barber and
Bushell spoke, favoring some
action by the Council on the
matter, but thought that the
old 800.00 a month payment
was rather too much. Coun-1
oilman Shark followed, stating
that lie wanted it distinctly
understood that he was not op
posed to the Band receiving
support from the Council, but
he did object to the way in
which payments were made,
thinking that the purpose foi
which the warrents were
drawn should be specified and
the support of the Band no1
charged to the Fire Department
as it. now is.
Councilman Ileneghan ex
plained that Firemen’s and
Policemen’s Bands all over the
country were supported in the
same way. He agreed with the
suggestion 'that the amount
which had been paid was prob
ably too much and thought, the
matter should be left to n
committee to confer with the
Band. A motion prevailed that
a committee be appointed, the
Mayor appointed Ileneghan,
Paup and Ryus on the commi't
te.
Ordinance No. 107, eliminat
ing the Standard Oil Plant from

tention iof the Council to tbe
poor sewer system of Ketchi
kan and suggested that an
ordinance be passed charging
street improvements and
sewers to abutting property.
Barber and Bolds spoke along
the same lines but no action
was taken by (he Council, and
afller a little more talk, the
Council adjourned.
