COUNCIL ASKED TO REMOVE
THE SEVENTH ME RESORTS
A petition presented by C. E. Shel
ley and signed by many of the res
idents and property owners of Skag
way was presented to the town coun
cil last night asking that the houses
of ill fame 011 Seventh avenue be
tween Broadway and State streets
bo removed to a less conspicuous lo
cation.
The petition cites that the houses
of ill fame are located so that little
boys and girls are dally compelled j
to pass them on the way to and from j
school. Young girls and women from
the north end going to and returning
from the business district are com
pelled to pass in close proximity to
'.he "red light" district.
Councilmen Shea and Tanner were
the only ones to object to the peti
tion.
Councilman Shea said that he knew
that certain men were trying to
make money off the fallen women by
having the location changed, but when
asked to substantiate his allegations
he could not do so. He put himself
on record, however, as objecting to
the present location.
Councilman Tanner also opposed
any action tending towards the re
moval of the houses of ill fame from
Seventh avenue.
The petition was referred to the
health and police committee and will
be reported upon at the next meeting.
After a somewhat heated argument
the town leased the ball park from
the Moore Wharf company for the
nominal sum of $1.00 for the year.
Councllmen Shea and Tanner also
voted against this.
An ordinance providing that all
persons connecting with the town wa
ter mains in the future must box
their connection pipes was up for the
first reading.
Bills aggregating $820 and includ
ing last month's salaries were passed.
KODIAK 111
LOOKS GOOD
George Moss, an old time miner |
.and prospector, arrived here recently
from the westward, and will remain I
for several weeks.
Moss came to Alaska in 1893 as
representative of a California mining
company, and located a gold quartz
ledge on Kodiak island that year. He
leturned to California with samples
of the ore, an assay of which gave
returns so unsatisfactory to the com
pany as to cause them to abandon
the claims.
Returning to Kodiak in 1894 Moss
located the claims in his own name,
and has been doing assessment work
on them every year since that time,
with encouraging prospects, the ledge
having widened to about eight feet
?:nd giving assays of from $2 to $-'0
per ton in gold ? V.aldez Prospector.
