ON CITY LIGHTS
The following communication has
been received by Thi Alaskan:
Skagway, Alaska, Sept. 23.
To The Public:
At a meeting of the City Council
held Monday evening, Sept. 16th, the
City Council saw tit to lake the light
ing of the city streets out of its proper
committee channel of business ami
refer it to a new committee? a special
committee w?? nameil to take care of
the lighting matters in the future, and
the committee was given full power to
act in all matters. Previously to the
uammg of this committee I hud de
clined to act. Since that time an ac
count of the proceeding* of that even
ing have appeared in Tbe Daily Al?s
kan and I have been asked by several
taxpayers why I refused to act on the
committee. In order to explain myself
and be placed in a right light before
the public I h:ive decided to publish
tin:) statement:
The Public Works and 1'ublic Prop
erty committee advertised for bids for
the lighting of the streets of the town.
The committee received bids from tfie
N. W. L. & P. Co. and also from tbe P.
i A. Ky. ? N. Co. Both bids were sv
much tbe same -each bid being the
same iu price? that the committee de
cided to rtr-advertim for bids. The sec
ond time bids were called for only one
was tendered. It came from the N. W.
L. A P. Co. and was exactly the same
as the tirst one. After carefully look
ing over the matter the committee
came to ihe conclusion that there wus a
holdup being attempted by the compa
nies, ami they made a written- re|?rt to
the council to that effect at the meet
ing of the 3rd. Notwithstanding 'his,
however, the council voted that the
city must have lights and, if the elec
tric light compauies had cjmbined to
rob the city, we simply had to submit.
The council was shown 'hat we werc
being held up for 73 cent* a light more
than we paid last year and, further,
that there was no reasonable excuse on
the part of tb? companies in making
the rai.je,- a representative of one of
the companies having made a statement
to the undersigned that last yeur his
comptny, having bad only a portion of
the lighting, made some money out of
it, but that if his company had the en
tire lighting of the city, he cou'd m ke
gocd money out of tbe contract at the
!<<st year price. Despite this showing
tbe council voted to have the lights put
in at ouce. The fact was the lights
must oe had and the city had no other
resource. The companies were notified
of the action of the council, and it was
then up to them to carry out their part
of the terms of the con'ract under ,
which they were each to light one-half
of the city, and which carried wiih it
the right upon the part of the city to
cut out lights where they were not
needed and to put them in where they
were necessary. The N. W. L. & P.
company replied it was satisfied to com
ply with the orders of the councl'.
However, the P. ?fc A. Ry. & N,
company declined to submit to the j
council's orders. In a letter written on
a letter head of the W. P. & Y. R. R.
to the council it was stated by the com
pany that if the ciiy cut out tny ligh-s
they had Lst year they would have u>
pay for them anyhow, and that if any
change was made In the location of
lights the city couocil would have to
pay the charge of changing them. In
other vjords, the company, imagining
they had us ciucbed, was going to keep
Us so as long as possible. The council
thus far has made no move to counter
act this high-handed abuse and make a
stand for its rights, and unless tne tax
payers insist that the council do so, the
holdup may continue; therefore, can
any fair minded resident or taxpayer
blame me for refusing to have anything
further to do with the lighting of the
streets of Skagway under such condi
tions. Respectfully, Chris C. Shea.

Many Alaska people take their lives

ill health, but there is no need u> suffer
nor to remain in danger when all
diseases and aches and pains due to
weak kidneys can be quickly and per
manently cured by the ust of Moan's

years since I first gave h testimonial
recommending Doau's Kidney Hills
after the prompt and satisfactory man
ner in which thi.i remedy had iclieved
me of kidney trouble which had afflect
ed tue off and on for a number of years.
Just prior 10 using Doan's Kidney Pills,
my suffering had become more severe,
a.id one day, I was taken suddenly with
attacks o' sharp pains through mv loins
and bladder. I sent for a doctor w o
dually used a catheter. This gave me
ureal relief at the time but atill 1 had
trouble afterwards with irritation of
the bladder and with the disordered act
ions of the kidneys. I began using
Doid's Kidney Pills and they acitd ve
ry promptly and directly on the parts
affected, so that the bladder trouble
disappeared and in other ways 1 found
great relief. This was several years
ago bui still I am a hearty advocate of
