ment furnished, under a con-j
tract entered into between j

The lien claims that no part

pany for its construction,
work, and is placed on the!

pany, located at the city dock,
lot 1 block 20.
Every Ton Of Freight
The city council learned
Monday night that the city
lock account has lost one dol-1
lar on every ton of freight the1
iongsnoremen have handled

}f the present fiscal year. The
city’s fiscal year runs from
March to March.
Mayor Lee Bettinger read |
figures from the record that]
showed the city received $2 30
per ton for freight handled
which cost it $3.35.
“Only through rentals and
leases on city owned property
at the city dock have we been
able to keep the accounts in
the black,” the mayor said.
He estimated that the total
money lost on the handling of

freight for the first seven,
months was $7,559. Despite
the loss from handling freight j
the city dock account showed,
a profit of $13,000 for the
same period. Gross revenue
for the period was around
$40,000.
Mayor Bettinger recom- j
mended that the dock cora-j
mittee bring in a suggested j
raise in freight handling rates j
to the next meeting. At a J
previous meeting he had sue- j
gested that the committee,
study the s;tuation.
H. E. Spencer was ap- j
pointed by the council to serve'
as city building inspector on a ■
fee basis. He will check and
approve all building applica
tions submitted te the council
for approval.
Earlier in the meeting Floyd
Cape presented an application
for the construction of a
garage on property near the j
Jay Tolbert house on Mission
Road. The application also
contained the name of Nor
man Dalton. Both are em
ployed at Kodiak Naval Sta
tion. The application was
i tabled until Spencer can in
• spect the plans and site of the
planned building.
The council also tabled a re
quest for payment of money
expended on the construction
of a road to his property near
the schoolyard by Joseph E.
Murphy.
In a letter to the council
Murphy asked that the city
pay him $116. The council
indicated it needed further
study of the matter before
taking action.
Councilman Bud Metzgar j
pointed out that should the
city honor one bill for pay
ment the city council would
probably receive many other
such bills. 1
“If we paid every one whoi
has done work on the road to I
his property we would soon]
run out of money,” Metzgar1
said.
me council approved pay-1
[ irient of other current bills,'
not for road work, presented. ]
The city council does not j
have the authority at present
to grant social security pay
ments for city employed
workmen. At the previous
meeting Elvin Foster, on be
half of the longshoremen,
asked that the city start pay
ments. Mayor Bettinger said a
bill to authorize such pay
ments is now before the Ter
ritorial Legislature.
