COUNCIL HOLDS
» BIG MEETING
Wany Citizens Attend—Will Call For
Bids For Light Juice—Cashman
Wants His Money.
The city council met last night with
every member of the council present
and many citizens who were interest
ed in the doings of the council also
attended. The petitions of the citi
zens on Alaska avenue, Sherman
street and on Nivina avenue for a
sidewalk was referred to the Street
committee, of which Councilman
White is chairman and the commit
tee will draft an ordinance providing
for the construction of the walks de
sired and will present it to the council
at the special meeting to be held on
Wednesday evening.
Attorney C. E. Bunnell represented
Ie. P, Cashman and requested the
council to be more generous in its
payments for the board and lodging
of the men who -worked at the slide
in Keystone canyon to recover the
body of Mrs. Lizzie Stropp. Mayor
Ritchie stated that he had endeavor
ed to make a settlement wfth (Cash
man but that the two could not agree
and in consequence the council offer
ed him fifty cents on the dollar on
his claim, believing that the road
house proprietor would not be any
loser at that. The original bill was
for $413 and it was cut to $206.50, but
Pete offered to compromise at 75 per
cent of the original bill.
Mr. Ritchie also stated that he had
been appointed administrator of the
estate of Mrs. Lizzie Stropp and that
as he was acting for the city would
charge no fees and hoped to secure
from the estate about $200 left from
the money found on the body of the
slide victim after funeral expenses
were paid, which would partially re
imburse the city for its outlay in
recovering the body from the slide.
Supt. Quinn of the Alaska Water,
Light and Telephone Co. appeared
at the council and requested to know
how much the council was paying the
opposition company for juice, as he
had made a bid of four cents a kilo
watt hour during the winter months
and five cents in summer, and his
bid had not been accepted, and he
wanted to know how much the city
was paying. The clerk presented the
/last bill of the Valdez Electric Co.
showing that the city was paying four
cents an hour for its lights summer
and winter. Upon motion of Coun
cilman White it was decided to call
for bids for both systems for the
term of the present council and the
Street committee wras ordered to pre
pare specifications for the bids. The
motion also carried with it the pro
vision that the lowest bidder should
have the contract.
Health Officer E. C. Dalton made a
report suggesting that the council
designate May 15th as Cleanup Day
and that it be declared a holiday and
that all the streets, alleys and creeks
be cleared of tin cans and refuse,
also that no ashes be allowed to be
dumped in the streets or upon lots in
the city limits, but be kept In air
tight cans and that garbage be treat
ed in a similar manner. The matter,
was referred to the committee on
public health.
Attorney Bunngil, at the request or
'the school board made a report or
the amount of money needed by the
school authorities to complete the
present term and 11,500 will be need
ed. The matter of moving the school
building on Sherman street to the old
location on Broadway was referred
tb the committee on Permanent Im
provements and because of lack of
play grounds and poor sanitary, con
ditions it Is expected the two school
houses will be placed on the lot on
Broadway some time during the com
ing vacation period.
Councilman King, chairman of the
Wharf and Sewerage committee, ask
ed for a few days more time in which
to consider the application of Edwin
Eckem for a franchise to build a wa
ter and sewerage system. ,
