At the Council meeting last night it was decided that
June 6th should be designated a general clean-up day and
the mayor was requested to issue a proclamation to that
effect.
The question of a great celebration of the fourth of
July was brought up and discussed. It was the opinion that
as the fourth falls on Saturday this year, it should be made
an occasion never to be forgotten, inasmuch as it gives
opportunity to Whitehorse and the neighboring towns to
come and stay a while without breaking into the work-a
day week. It was thought that the matter was not proper
ly one to be taken up by the council primarily and the
matter was therefore referred to the mayor with the request
that he bring it before the Chamber of Commerce and the
several social organizations of the city.
A letter was read from General Manager Berdoe of the
W. P. ?fc Y. giving uotice that the water rate for the city
would be increased from the $100 at present being paid, to
*250 per month. This is done under a clause in the con
tract which gives the company that right where it is found
necessary to use both engines in pumpi ug. Mayor Shea
asked Councilman Ashley if both engines are now being
employed and he answered that they were nearly always so
employed. The communication was referred to the Water
Works committee to discuss the matter with Mr. Berdoe
and to also see what may be done with the Home Power
company in the matter of securing a supply from that
source and to report at the next meeting.
The ways and means committee is instructed to nego
tiate a loan of $2,000 00 to cover current warrants, until
the treasury may be replenished by licenses that fall due iii
July.
The fire and water committee called attention to the
need of additional hose.
Mr. A. V. Draper of Baltimore, Md.,
now with the U. S. survey party gave a
very delightful and instructive talk at
tha C. ?. Sunday evening.
