$5,000,000 DAMAGE, CLOUDBURST
LOUISVILLE, Ky„ June 7. (/P)—
The toll of the cloudbursts which
swept this part of the country last
week was placed at SO lives and
$5,000,000 property damages yester
day according to officials.
action taken:
First—I consider the proposed ordi- j
nance illegal and invalid in that the
same is beyond the powers of the City j
Council as defined in the Municipal ,’
Code of Alaska.
Second.—I deem the salaries fixed
by the proposed ordinance as excess
ive in amount, out of proportion to
the service required, and unwarrant
ed under the present condition of the
financial affairs of the city.
Third—Rigid economy only will per- j
mit the city to meet its obligations in
respect to the following imperative
needs of the community, to-wit:
(a) $15,000 for Lowell creek im-,
provement.
(b) Provision for children of
school age, particularly additional ac
commodations for High school.
(c) 25 per cent fund allotted to
aviation landing field must be contrib
uted by Seward.
(d) Municipal float, repairs, or new
structure, as a direct aid to the busi
ness men and merchants.
(e) Additional fire and police pro
tection.
(f) Necessary street repairs.
I have the honor to ask the mem
bers of the Council to give further
consideration with reference to the
expenditure of the funds contributed
by the taxpayers of the community.
L. V. RAY,
Mayor.
