STREET LIGHTS WILL NOT
BURN PTE SO BRIGHTLY
The question of how to light the
town nt the least possible expense
occupied most of the time of the
town fathers at the Council meeting
last night.
Councilman Taylor ai a recent
meeting suggested that all the town
lights be on a separate wire that
they might be turned off and on ac
cording to the state of the weather,
and with a meter he believed this
would result ill a saving to the town,
as the rate per light this year has
been raised from $1.50 to $2.50 a
ligh' per month.
The Home Power company offered
a rate of 10 cents a kilowatt or a
rate of $2.50 per month for nine
months for each 32 candle-power lamp
The company would not agree to pre- 1
pare a special wire for the municipal
lamps.
After considerable discussion the
Council decided to replace the 32
candle-p wer lamps with 10 candle
power lamps, thus halving the Unlit
bill and saving the town more than
$800 In the course of nine months.
The 16 candle-power lamps will be
installed at once and used for one
month. If satisfactory they will lie
retained, but if the light Is not suf
ficient they will be replaced by 32
candle-power lights.
Councilman Blanchard introduced a
resolution permitting bicycles to be
ridden on the sidewalks north of
Twelfth avenue. This was placed on
Its final passage under a suspension
of the rules.
The report of the treasurer showed
cash on hand amounting to $142.51,
and warrants outstanding aggregating
$'>,'>22.88, leaving a deficit of $.",.180. 37.
The Federal license money will !)??
due in a short time, however.
Hills totaling $10-1. 8*> were allowed.
T. H. Adams, who is colleoting sta
J f'*ic8 on the economic conditions 'n
Southeastern Alaskii for the Depart
ment of Commo/ce and Labor, thinks
that many tourists could be Induced J
to come to Skagway to spend any
where from one to three weeks by ju
dicious advertising.
"I am very much interested In]
Skagway," said Mr. Adams, "for you
have a peculiar situation here. You
had prosperous times in the days ofj
the gold rush and I think the town
will see them again when the coun
try inside is opened up and developinl j
At present and for the next few years
1 think the town mus' rely, to a J
great extent, on the tourist trade. To
make tills possible the scenic advant
ages should be advertised.
"You have novel conditions here.
You are on the frontier, yet the com
forts and conditions are modern. And
all the surrounding scenery is cover
ed over with the glamor of the days
of the gold rush. Then the glaciers
and geological formations should at
tract many people.
"It seems to mc that the Commer
cial Club chould co-operate with the
railroad and steamship companies In
advertising. And I also think that
the town council could very well af
ford to appropriate a sum of money
to be used in advertising the town.
"You want to correspond with the
tourist agents in different towns and
and it would be a pood idea to cor
respond with some man in different
colleges throughout the country in
an effort 'o have him arrange person
ally conducted tours to the glaciers
and mountains of Alaska.
"Skagway has distinct advantages
for a tourist town. It is surrounded
by many interesting and beautiful
spots and neither is it perched 011
the side of a mountain like so many
of the towns in South-eastern Alaska.
Again your climate seems to be very
good under normal conditions. By all
means boost your town and seek the
tourist traffic. 1 think you will ac
complish results by so doing."
Do You Walk?
Of course you do, but you'll walk easier and
be more comfortable, and wear the nobbiest
and best fitting shoes in town if you visit
