Change Lighting Contract—
Left to Committee.
The city council, at the special ses
sion held last night in the city hail,
authorized the Street Lighting com
mittee of the council to make any ar
rangements they see fit in the matter
of lighting the public sreets.
Supt. Quinn, of the Alaska Water,
Ligh't & Telephone company, appear
ed before the council and protested
against any change, claiming that un
iter .tie franchise’’granted to the Alas
ka Water, Light & Telephone com
pany that the city agreed to purchase
electricity from the company during
I the life of the franchise.
Mr. Quinn also offered to reduce
the rates now in force between the
company and the city, making a pro
portionate reduction as the ratio if
the cost to the city compared with
■ the rate paid by indivual consumers
prior to the reduction made by the
company Dec. 1st.
Judge Lyops, the company, attorney,
also spoke and insisted that the coun
cil had no legal right to make any
change.
Mayor E. E. Ititchie spoke in oppo
sition to Judge Lyons and claimed
that the franchise was not a contract
for light, but instead ii privilege
granted to the company.

Postal Authorities Are Enforcing Laws
Prohibiting Publicity to Games
!
of Chance in Alaska.
The federal postal law rudely step-1
ped in and forbade the mailing of the j
Juneau Daily Dispatch because it con- j
tained an advertisement of prizes to I
be given away Christmas. The law!
forbids advertising games of chance '
of any nature or anything savoring of
lotteries.
The enforcement of the law, while
new in Alaska, is not new in the!
states, where newspaper publishers
have been having their inning with the j
postal authorities. The law makes it j
a misdemeanor to send through the
mail any circular, newspaper, ticket, i
publication, pamphlet, etc., containing :
a list of prizes or gifts to be given i
away at games of chance, or through
the medium of chance.
To Rent or Lease.

25 acres of land under cultivation;

miles north of Valdez on the Shushan
