Mans To Increase
Water storage
Plans were formulated by the
City Council in an effort to provide
ample water for next winter.
Funds will be sought from Alaska
Public Works to complete neces
sary work at the reservoir to pro
vide a greater supply.
The City Manager was instruct
ed by the Council, at the meeting
last Monday, to make application
to APW for the construction of
(1) a flume leading to the reser
voir;; (2) an additional 6 feet to
be added to the height of the res
ervoir and (3) the dredging of the
present water reservoir.
The reservoir was so constructed
at the time it was built to provide
for the addition of the six feet
in height. Considerable additional
water storage would be provided
thereby. It is expected that dredg
ing would result in clearer water
and also additional storage facili
ties.
The council has had under ad
visement the purchase of needed
equipment for the City Dock. Pat
Cannon, who recently returned
from the States, gave a report .on
types of hoists he inspected while
there. As a result of his report,
the Council authorized the pur
chase of a Clark’s Hoist lift, 3 ton
capacity, with snow shovel. The
purchase of a Hyster 40 motor was
authorized to replace the one now
in use.
A discussion arose as to the nam
ing of the new cemetery. The com
mittee handling this will request
suggestions for a name from re
ligious and fraternal arganizations
of the City.
The Council further authorized
replanking of the dock at Resoffs
and Island Seafood canneries.
Under a mutual benefit agreement,
the City will furnish the labor and
the canneries the material.
City officials present at the
meeting were Council members
Pete Deveau, Pat Cannon, Bob
Hall, Wilton White and Anna Mae
Vokacek: City Manager Charles
Truitt and City Clerk Dick Berg.
