(By Ala*ka News Bureau)
DANVILLE, I1L April 19? Mrs. Les
lie Brown, private stenographer to
Theodoio Roosevelt, has written &
letter to her father, who resldea here,
leHlng him that "Taft will be pleased
to have an automobile run over him
when Teddy arrives home" and other
wise hinting of big happenings.
The Skagway Commercial dub will
meet at 8:30 tonight at the town hall
for the consideration of several mat
ters of great Importance. The ques
tion of how to beet circulate the 10,- 1
000 advertising booklets will come up
for discussion and Sec. Miller has a
number of communications to submit
to the club. All members are urged
to be present and non-members are
invited to attend.
COUNCIL IS III VARIANCE
OH WATCHMAN PROPOSITION
*
A petition, signed by 55 residents
of Skagway. many of them represent
ing business firms along lower Broad
way. and asking that the town ap
point a regular night watchman and
pay him a full salary instead of hav
ing this done by subscription as here
tofore. was presented to the council
last night and caused considerable con
Two votes were taken on the dis
position of the petition, both result
ing in a tie. After considerable dis
cussion, the petition was referred to
Che health and police committee and
will be reported at the next meeting.
After the petition had been read.
Mr. Abrahams, one of the signers,
told the council that he bad signed
it under a misunderstanding. He
said he believed an ulterior move
?vas on foot and that he was not in
favor of ousting the present night
watchman.
Councilman Britt, the drafter of the
petition, stated that it spoke for it
self. He said there was no inten
tion to hoist anyone out of office but
that Skagway needed an authorized
night watchman and the property own
m should not be taxed twice to pay
for one. He said the night watchman
the present time could do other
private Jobs that interfered with his
official duties and that from the
?eason of being paid by private parties
le might overlook certain things. He
said the town needed a night watch- '
nan, especially in the winter, more
Lhau it needed a day watchman.
Dr. Brawand strenuously objected
:o 'he appointment of a salaried ;
watchman. He said the present ,
watchman had fulfilled his duties and
i would be foolish to hire a regular
night man when the town was so
lee ply in debt. He said it was ra
ther unusual for a councilman to
J raw up ar.tl :> petition to hir.I
stlf as Mr. Britt had done, and the
petition was evidently for the benefit
of a few merchants who did not want
to pay for protection to their proper
ty.
"None of the north enders have
sifted this petition," continued Dr.
Brawand, "and we are not given our
fair share of police protection and
property improvement up there. If
this council will give the north end
fairand impartial treatment and equal
rights then 1 will join with you in aty
in*; tor a nightwatchman to protect
th< i?ercb?nts. ? but not before."
Lh\ Brawand made a motion to lay
the petition on the table indefinitely.
ThU- motion was lost, Brawand, Sny
der and Tanner- voting for It and
Britt, Ashley and Flaharty opposing
Mr. Ashley then moved that the
petition be laid over for one week.
The vote again resulted in a tie,
whereupon the matter was referred
to the proper committee by unani
mous consent.
Th,1 town clerk was ordered to re
quest the school board to make a
monthly detailed statement of its ex
penditures to the council as provided
for- in section 10 of ordinance 106.
Dr. Brawand also wanted to know
if the School boiler, which burst last
week had been guaranteed or in any
way insured.
The bond of C. W. Ask as school
treasurer and of Phil Abrahams as
town treasurer were accepted.
Several proposed changes in ord
inances were referred to the judiciary
and elections committee.
A petition was presented asking
that the council appoint George Car
son night watchman and the signers
offered to donate $48 a month toward
his salary.
C. T. Moore applied for the- posi
tion of night watchman.
