Pierce Appointed Chief;
Council Takes Up Freight
Jim Pierce, councilman and
chairman of the police com
mittee, who has been acting as
police chief since the resignation
of Roy Hoffman last month, was
appointed to the position of
police chief and fire warden at a
salary of $400 a month by the
city council at the regular meet
ing Monday evening at the city
hall.
The council passed an amend
ment to Section 3, Ordinance 35,
providing new licenses for pin
ball machines, which is expected
to piovide revenue of about
$5000 a year. Five-ball machines
will be taxed $7.50 a month, one
ball machines $12.50 a month,
a,!d in addition distributors of
the machines will pay a yearly
tax of $500 a year, in advance.
The freight situation came up
for discussion,v\ith various mem
bers of the council expressing
belief that necessary supplies,
including foods, were being held
up for lacking of shipping space,
when liquor was coming in large
amounts. One large store was re
ported to have received only a
part of on order for potatoes be
cause of lack of shipping space,
and the supply received would
last only one week. Mayor Miell
reported that he too had heard
such criticism, and had checked
with the Cordova, and that in
two instances they reported that
they had picked up every bit of
freight on the Seattle dock be
fore they left. The council voted
to make a survey of merchants
in town to determine how much
frieght space is needed for pre
sent needs, and to wire the in
formation to Delegate Dimond
in an effort to assure that the
space is avaibable.
Frank Herman appeared be
fore the council on behalf of the
Volunteer Fire-department and
told of additional miscellaneous
equipment needed, including
masks, wire cutters, etc. for use
with the city’s two new fire
trucks, and was authorized to_
order the equipment, foi the fire
department, expense to be met
by the city
The tax committee reported
the work was almost completed
on the tax notices, and that they
would be placed in the mail soon
