of government but no action was
taken by the group.
It was recommended by vote
that the City Council hire a full
time City Attorney at a salary
at least equal to the former salary
of the City Attorney, to enable the
City to have legal advice at all
times.
Mr. Jonish stated that the people
should be made conscious of the
financial condition of the city and
that the financial statement at
this time be published along with
a delinquent tax roll. This was
made in the form of a motion to
request the city council to publish
annually the financial statement
of the City and the delinquent tax
roll. The motion was carried.
Some confusion existed accord
ing to the discussion as to the
rules and regulations of the police
department which seem to have
been lost and it was recommended
that all ordinances and regula
tions be brought up to date and
printed in proper form.
Sgt. Alfred Miller urged the
citizens to get behind the sales tax
and raise the funds necessary to
provide adequate city government.
Sammy Mogg, acting for the
Alaska Native Brotherhood and
Mr. and Mrs. W. Nay stressed the

Grounded Ship
Floats Free In Tide
SEATTLE. (A1)—The motor ves
sel Lucidor, which ran aground in
Wrangell Narrows late Monday,
floated free yesterday and was en
route to Ketchikan under her own
power.
A message from the coast guard
cutter Hemlock said the Lucidor
apparently floated free at high
tide. The 3,809-ton vessel was not
taking water, the message said,
but asked that the Hemlock escort
her into Ketchikan.
The Lucidor ran aground late
Monday on Spike Rock. It was en
route to Seattle, under charter to
ment to the jail conditions before
more tragedies take place.
Mrs. Joe Wallace urged all
those who were present to get be
hind thq council and attend coun
cil meetings. City officials, she
stated, get little or no thanks for
their services and should be given
all the support possible.
Mrs. Nay was appointed to be
chairman of a committee to draw
up the following petitions to be
presented to the council at the
next regular meeting:
1. Divorcing the fire and po
lice departments.
2. Re-employing full time city
attorney at adequate salary.
3. Publishing annually the fi
nancial statement of the City, and
also the delinquent tax rolls.
