NEW COUNCIL IN
SESSION-MAYOR
READS MESSAGE
(Continued From Face 1.)
been introduced and read, lay on the
table until the next regular meeting.
It shall not, except under suspension
of the rules (and this requires tive
votes) be passed at the meeting at
which it is introduced." If your min
utes are correct, ordinances have been
repeatedly introduced, passed through
three readings, and adopted, all in one
evening, and without even a motion to
suspend the rules. With matters so
important as an ordinance, this is a
dangerous practice and is not lair to
the people of Seward, and should be
corrected by inserting a section that
will compel every ordinance to take
its regular course and receive pub
licity.
Section -b or ordinance wnicn
provides that any two or more offices
of the city of Seward may be held b\
the same Vrson* in the discretion of
the council, was inserted, as in all
other Alaska towns, so that as they
grow, the town or city could look for
ward to a time when they would have
a city office, in charge of at least one1
official, usually the city clerk.
Last year, I believe the business
transacted, according to warrants
drawn, was about $bl>,00t). V\ ith a
business as great as this, and care of
records, charts, etc., I believe we havt
about reached the point where wc
should have one man on full time,
with an office where all the city’s
business will be transacted. This car
be accomplished, without additional
expense, b> combining a number ot
smaller salaries. With this object in
view, 1 would recommend that your
city clerk be appointed municipal
magistrate, as has always been the
custom in Seward and other Alaska
towns. If this policy is followed, we
can create a city office during the
year, and the business of the city will
receive better attention and without
any additional expense.
1 think we all understand that this
year we must hold down expenses as
much as possible, yet in view of the
greatly increased cost of living, your
chief of police should have a salary of
$150 per month and the patrolman
$1 25 per month. In view of the hours
this department is worked, this would
be only a fair 3alarv.
Section 4 of chapter 50, laws of 1915
clearly define* my duties as the ex
ecutive head of the city and presiding
officer of this council, and I shall em
deovor at all time* to carry out the
mandates of this body and preside
over your deliberations with fairness
and impartiality. In return, I will
ask your support and assistance.
The council will be advised as to the
conditions of the city’s finances as
soon as the auditor has finished check
ing the books of the city clerk and
treasurer.
I trust you will give due considera
tion to the above recommendations
which I consider necessary and for the
best interests of the city.
SAM’L MCDONALD, Mayor.
A communication was read from the
rity attorney asking that the salary of
that office be raised to $75 a month
this year, which represents an in
crease of $25 a month over the salary
of last year. This is prayed for on
account of the increased work in that
office. The letter wras referred to the
proper committee for consideration.
The report of Special Auditor Ward
James on the year’s business was read
and referred to the finance commit
tee before being accejJted. The report
of the city magistrate was read, ac
cepted and filed.
Applications for city positions were
read and filed, as follows: For chief
of police, Robert Guest, the piasent
incumbent, is the only applicant; Dr.
J. H. Romig is the only one seeking
the position of city physician; the
position of city magistrate is sought
by Otto Poehlmann, city clerk, ami
Leon Booker, present incumbent. The
fixing of salaries for these offices as
well as the naming of the successful
applicants, was postponed until next

UNSUCCESSFUL ATTACK MONDAY

LONDON, Tuesday, April 17.—The British patrols
entered Lens early Sunday morning, according to a dis

Fifteen hundred German dead were left in front of
the British positions after an unsuccessful attack yester

of the Bapaume-Cambrau road, according to a report re
ceived here last evening.
The Germans sent in all their reserves and made a
iesperate defense while their engineers were completing
the destruction of mines and factories in and near Lens.
