Council Orders Nearly $10,000 In
City and School Warrants to
be Taken Up.
Town Treasurer, Reynolds,
showed the council last night.,
that he had $10,432 that he did
not know what to do with.
Whereupon the council ordered
$3,700 to be paid to the school
board treasurer and $0,000 in
town warrants to be taken up,
including interest. This leaves
$700 in the treasury for immedi
ate use, and it is expected that
the municipal income will be
sutllcient to meet future cash de
mands.
The proposal of the Valdez
Dock Co., to lease the town wharf,
was referred to the wharf com
mittee with instructions to con
fer with the dock company and
see whether a lease can be agreed
on that will not waive any advan
tages to the public. A protest
against leasing the wharf, sign
ed, by 90 persons, was received
and referred to the committee.
It is agreed by all the members
of the coueil that no lease should
be1 made that will permit an in
crease of coal or wharfage pri
ces, or prevent free landing of
the mosquito fleet, or I lie use of
the wharf by the town or anyone
doaling with the town.
Town Attorney, Dimond, was
instructed to draft an amended
ordinance for the assesment amt
collection of taxes, under the
provisions ,of the taxation law'
enacted by the rccdnt territorial
legislature. This will be adop
ted by the council in time to
govern the assessment and col
lection of taxes for 1913.
The mayor reported the pur
chase of lots for a total of $224

These lots were purchased pur
suant to order of the council to
protect the road commision from

lots crossed by the dike, and to
save back taxes to the city where
lots had been abandoned by
squatters.
Dr. A. von Gunther presented
a irequest for compensation on
account of the crossing by the
dike of a lot owned by him on
Kfqystone avenue. The claim was
