SEWARD WATER AND POWER
COMPANY ASKS FRANCHISE.
Governing Body of Our Fair City
Enters Again Into Moment
ous Deliberations.
The Seward Water & Power com.
puny last night applied for a fran
chise to the governing body of the
municipality through President Frank
Ballaine. It was referred to the Wat- (
er and Light committee.
Councilman Chamberlin reported
for the school committee on the plans
for the pro posed addition to the
school buildings. Ho asked that the
council meet again tonight as a com
mittee of the whole to take up the
matter and this was decided upon, but, j
of course, the whole thing was chang
ed later and an adjourned meeting
decided upon. By the way, Mr.
Chamberlin stated that the plans for j
the additions to the school building
mean the doubling of the capacity of
the present building.
Councilman Crawford said some- >
thing to the etTect that work on
Fourth avenue improvements would
be in full swing after the arrival of j
bomeone or another about Saturday
next. In the meantime gravel and
sand are being Hauled in. A petition
was reported from the lower end of
Fourth avenue a.'king for a raising of
the grade near the approach to the
wharf. The petitioners want it rais
ed eighteen inches. For this work a
fill of 7o5 yards is necessary. It will j
reduce the grade from 9 to C> inches to j
the lot. Some 400 yards of dirt can
be obtained from the upper end of
Fourth for the purpose. It was then
that the Rundesrath decided to meet
as a council tonight.
Mr. Chamberlin then came out with
the assertion that the street contract
or had not given the bonds required
and after a lengthy discussion the
city attorney told the council that its
own ordinance made such a bond *
unecessary. A third of the money in
payment for the work could be
witheld, which is equal to a bond. It
was learned that Mr. Mantel 1 had sent
out for a bond. J. I.. Graef made a
protest about a basement door and
said that the contractor told him he
had to put in a certain size. Mr.
Graef has ordered a^ smaller sized
door and he was informed that he
could put in that door. Mr. Graef al
so hml a grievance because dirt which
he had removed has been shovelled
back. Mr. Chamberlin said the intent
of the council was that property
holders could perform their own work
with respect to the placing of base
ment doors, etc. Mr. Graef said he
had got no notice from the council
and that he was unable to obtain any
information from the council, the city
engineer or the contractor. The
greatest deliberative assembly in the
world then shut up till tonight when
the performance will be continued.

NEWS NOTES.
Mayor Myers, accompanied by Mrs.
Myers and Mrs. Gilpatriek, returned
yesterday from Moose Pass after a
visit of a few days. Mr. Myers says
the strike by Skeen and Stevenson is
vers good judging by what he learned
up there. Ray Giddings and Bill
Dashley have come to the Moose Pass
country from Anchorage and are
prospecting. A new homestead has
also been taken up in the district.
A rumor is current to the effecti
that the grand jury of the Ktiik court |
term has been investigating alleged
rregularities in connection with the j
government railroad construction
work and that one official has re
signed. As there is no positive in
formation about the matter it is the
part of wisdom to say no more until
direct and reliable information is se
cured. that is if the rumor has any
truth at all to it.
During an engineering tour of the
railroad within the past few days one
of the engineering party, Benjamin
Campbell, took a photograph of him
self by shooting ut the camera. Mr.
Eogoisirom. the bridge engineer for
the R. R. Commission, says that he,
Mr. Campbell and A. L. Davis stood
in front of the camera. A pocket
knife was placed weighted with a
hanging stone in such a manner that
when the stone was >hot away the
snap was taken. A shot from Camp
bell’s pistol did the rest.
The Ellsworths are now erecting a
residence south of the new' school
building.
Jack Blake has resigned as general
foreman of the street work and will
go to Valdez to erect a building for ;
Sam Blum.
Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Lucas and !
party have returned from a trip to
the country.
A new city health ordinance was
introduced last night before Seward’s
governing body and passed its first !
reading by title.
