The new city council of Valdez was
sworn in last night and completed
the organization of the city govern-''
ment as planned by them at a caucus
held last Saturday night. F. M. Boyle
was elected mayor for the next year.
All the balloting was open, no secret
ballot being taken upon any of the
elective offices.
Willard Scott, who has been chief
of police of Valdez for many years,
was reappointed and the duties of
health officer was added to that of Us
present work. His salary will be,
as heretofore, $150 a month. Scott
received the vote of all seven coun
cilmen.
John S. Heckey, brother ot coun
cilman Ross Heckey, was elected
nightwatchman. Ray Larson, the
present nightwatchman, was an ap
plicant, but failed to secure enough
support. Councilman Finical, mind
ful of the pledges prior to election
that the city practice some economy,
moved that the position be abolish
ed and he was supported by Coun
cilmen Wood, and Thomas, but the
majority, Boyle, Von Gunther, Heckey
and King, voted the motion down.
The same four voted for Heckey for
tbe position.
In spite of the fact that three of
the four councilmen constituting the
majority are reported to have pledged
themselves to elect William Meals
clerk of the council, and had ac
cepted aid from him and his friends
in the recent election with that un
derstanding, he was not given a vote
by any of them and received the
three votes of the minority, while
John Frame was elected clerk by
Boyle, Von Gunther, Heckey and King.
The salary was made $35.00 and the
duties of police magistrate were add
ed to those of the clerk and Frame
acts in both capacities.
L. Graham, the present fire engi
neer, received the vote of the seven
councilmen, although B. Dunham was
an applicant and desired the position.
E. G. Ames was re-elected town
treasurer at a salary of $35.00 per
month.
Judge Charles uaniy, wno uas ueeu
city attorney and police magistrate
for several years, was re-elected city
attorney. He will not, however, act
as police magistrate.
The council also changed the meet
ing night from Monday to Tuesday
for the convenience of the members
of the council.
The election of Charles Ganty came
as a surprise to many as it was re
ported that Ganty was to be double
crossed for O. P. Hubbard, formerly
of Nome. The majority, however,
feared the Socialist vote and Ganty
succeeded in retaining his position as
city attorney.
