that he has struck six foot of pay

to cut lumber and will build sluice
boxes for the summer’s work.
Cristo writes that he will ground

SEWAGE SYSTEM
FOR VALDEZ 101
Edwin Eckem Applies for Franchise
for American Contracting Company
—Is Referred to Committee.
Edwin Eckern, cashier of the Val
dez Bank & Trust Co., applied to the
city council last night for a fran
chise to build and maintain a water
and sewage system in the town of
Valdez.
The franchise was referred to the
Committee on Sewage and Wharf
age and will be reported upon at the
next meeting. Mayor Ritchiee ap
pointed the Sewage and Wharfage
committee at once, so that the mat
ter could be taken up by them with
out delay. The committee consists
of Councilmen Martin, Patterson and
King.
When interviewed by a representa
tive of the Prospector Mr. Eckern
stated that he represented the Amer
ican Contracting Co. of Seattle, which
planned to build a sewage and water
system at once if granted the fran
chise. The plans of the company
were to secure a fall of 200 feet by
securing the water three miles from
town and this fall would be suffi
cient to throw the water over the top
of any four-story building which
might be constructed.
The company also proposed to give
the city free water and three fire hy
drants free during the life of the
franchise.
JT H. Mendenhall, of Seattle, is the
head of the American Contracting
company, and he has secured sur
veys of the proposed pipe line and
has placed orders/ for the pipe' sub
ject to confirmation when the fran
chise is granted. “The company
propose,” says Mr. Eckern, “to have
the line inside of the dike before high
water and will start the work at the
earliest possible date after the council
acts.
"All parts of the town will be
reached by the new system with wa
ter and sewage pipes and the health
of the community will no longer be
endangered by the unsanitary condi
tions of the present method, or lack
of method, of caring for the sewage
of Valdez.”
