i
Opportunity to Express Opinion
Upon Merits of Franchise.
A large number of taxpayers ap
peared at the City Hall last night in
response to the invitation of the Sew
erage and Wharf committee to ex
press their opinion regarding the
granting of the proposed franchise to>
Edwin Eckem to construct and main
tain a water and sewerage system
in the town of Valdez.
Chairman Harry E. P. King, of the
committee, presided at the meeting
and all who wished were given an
opportunity to speak. Some taxpayers
feared the cost would be exorbitant,
ethers believed the system was need
ed and that the only way of secur
ing a sewerage system was. by se
curing outside capital and later pur
chasing the plant.
The franchise which was asked by
Mr. Eckem ptcvldes that at the end
of 10 years the city could purchase
(the system and also provided for
maximum charges of $3.50 per month
per residence for water and connec
tion with the sewer.
Mayor Ritchie had also assigned
Judge John Lyons to the committee
from the Law and Ordinance com
mittee and Chairman King, with
Councilmen Patterson and Martin
comprised the four councilmen who
held last night’s public meeting to
give the taxpayers an opportunity to
be heard on the matter.

Viscountess.
PARIS, May 12.—Owing to alarm
ing ravages made by the opium hab
it in all classes of French society
of late, a bill more stringently to
regulate the sale of the drug in its
various forms has ben drafted here
and will be introduced in the Cham

general orders have been Issued by
the police to keep a sharp lookout
1 for the traffic In all its phases and
make arrests relentlessly wherever
culprits may be found.
Mme. Lasalle, formerly the Vis

lined $120 in the Correctional Court
here for the illegal possession of the
drug. She lives in a magnificent
house in one of the richest and most
exclusive quarters of Paris, with sev
eral millionaire Americans for neigh
bors.
The former viscountess’ house was
raided by policemen in uniform. In
the hall the police commissary found
magnificent sets of opium pipes with
full paraphernalia for “cooking,” etc.
Her drawing room was a model of
its kind, being gorgeously furnished
with priceless Chinese bric-a-brac,
draperies and lanterns. A soft, rosy
light warmed up the room, and, in
a position of prominence, was a di
van, six by twelve*" feet long, upon
which several persons could lie and
smoke together.
