A discovery was made last night
at the meeting of the Skagway town
council which caused consternation
among the city fathers, but which
will doubtless be a source of gratifi
cation to scores of citizens. It was
this:
Section 1"> of ordinance 10!' explic
itly provides that the city Is responsi
ble for the maintalnance of the ser
vice pipes supplying water to the
premises of any water consumer. The
city must thaw out these pipes at Its
own expense if they freeae between
the mains and the water cocks inside
the curbs. This simply means that
if any resident insists the city must
foot the bills for all such pipes that
have frozen and have been thawed
out. ?
Phil Snyder, chairman of the water
works committee, made this startling
discovery and announced it with
much perturbation, lie said that if It
was enforced the "cltv might as well
go out of business." He thought the
council *should change the ordinance.
Half a dozen ordinance books were
produced and hastily scanned. Mr.
Snyder's statements were confined to
the sorrow of each and every coun
cilman. There was no escaping the
j issue, although Mr. Snyder suggested
that the ordinance be "fixed."
Every member of the council except
Mr. Snyder seemed to be weary last
night, however, and his motion to
discuss the ordinance under the head
of now business was- quickly voted
down, it would be impossible in
any event to amend the ordinance
until after the cold weather is past.
It seemed to be the consensus of ;
opinion among the councilmeu that
the city will have to make good if
the matter is brought to a show
down. There the case rests.
Hills amounting to $S97, including
the January salaries, labor and sup
plies, were allowed anil warrants will
be drawn in payment.
Chairman Snyder of the water
works committee reported that one
city hydrant at Second and Main Is
still frozen and that u small s<-ction
of the city mains Is still unthawed.
With these exceptions the city water
works are In good condition.
Howard Ashley as chairman of the
judiciary committee reported that he
had investigated the bill tendered to
the city by the White Pass Yukon
railroad for Installing and repairing
a water pump. The bill amounts to
$101.30. Mr. Ashley said th< work
had been done, the bill was Just, and
that It should be allowed. This re
port settled this vexatious question
which has agitated the council for
some time.
No other business was tran; .u t? il.
Those present were: Mayor Sh< a.
Clerk Doherty, Councilmeu Ashley.
Clark, Snyder and Taylor, Chief of
Police Dillon. Water 'Commissioner
Pagc.and Health Officer Hrawand.
PREPARE FOR MO?
Prepare for u long cold spoil of
weather. At high noon today Mr.
Ground Hog emerged from his hole,
sleepTly yawned, rubbed his half
closed eyes with his paw, looked at
the ground ? then scampered back In
his hole again. lie hud seen his
shadow and that, according to ancient
seers, is a sure sign that the remain
der of the winter will be cold and
long drawn.
I'p to 10:30 o'clock this morning It
looked us If the ground hog might
not see his shudow. The sun wus
obscured by clouds. But shortly after
11 a. m.. Old Sol butst forth In all
his glory and It was a foregone con
clusion that the ground hog would
see his shadow silhouetted 011 the
snow. Well ? It can't' be helped now.
' The Ladies of the Maccabees are
requested to meet tonight at the
home of Mrs. J. 0. Stlnebaugh.

PETE" IS GAME
Although then- was a nasty sea
runniiifc in Lynn Canal today, "Foul
Weather" Pete Madsen resolved to
brave the elements and with Matt
Sundcen they put to sea In the llegg.
The llegg had not returned to Skag
.way up to the time of going to press.
She is probably delayed because of
the slowing of her speed in bucking
the heavy sea.
The Ladles' Guild of S. Saviours
church will meet tomorrow afternoon
at 2:30 o'clock at the homo of Mrs.
tieorgi- Howard ou Third and Alaska.
All members are revested to attend.
