CITY DOCK AND
SEWER SYSTEM
ARE PLANNED
ip
The city council met in regular ses
sion last night and transacted much
important business.
In the matter of right of way for'*
the proposed extension to the * city
dock, the city attorney reported that
the townsite trustee had stated his
willingness to permit an extension of
the dock, provided the right kind of
structure was built and the proper
provision made for its maintenance, j
Councilmen Brock, Lathrop and Me-1
Connell were appointed a committtee,!
of which the mayor is ex officio chair-1
man, to look into the cost of piling, j
capping, decking, etc., to build the j
proposed dock, with a view of ascer
taining what could be done each year
in the way of extension and repairs.
Captain A. E. Lathrop asked per
mission of the council to put in a ;
storage fuel-oil tank having a capacity
of a hundred barrels, to be placed in
the ground under the- Water street
trestle. The permission was granted,
the installation to be such as is re
quired by the board of fire under
writers.
(
The mayor stated that he had been
asked by several persons to bring up
in council the question of liability in
case of water pipes being frozen at
points between the mains and side- :
!
walks. Mr. McConnell stated to the i
council that the Alaska Public Utili-I
ties took care of the pipes from tlie
mains in the streets to the sidewalk
!
curbs, and it was up to the property
owners from that point to their prop- ■
erty; that in one or two cases ques-;
tions of like nature had come up, and
that he was always willing to go more
than half way with any of the people
of Cordova.
Councilman McConnell asked for |
more time to prepare an ordinance!
covering the electric wiring situation,
which was granted.
An ordinance entitled “An ordinance
to define and punish certain misde
meanors in the town of Cordova, ter
ritory of Alaska,” was introduced, read
and referred to the judiciary com
mittee.
An ordinance entitled “An ordinance
to provide for the establishment of an
•rvXvXvXv:-:-:^
fl
assessment district in the town of Cor
4
dova for the purpose of levying a tax
for the construction of a system cf
sewerage,” was introduced, read and
referred to the judiciary committee.
An application from K. G. Robinson
for the position of territorial school
tax collector for Cordova for the year
1920 was read, and as this was the
only application on file, Mr. Robinson
was appointed.
The city engineer was granted fur
ther time to prepare the plans, speci
fications and estimates on the pro
posed sewer system.
Councilman Brock stated that the
bids asked for furnishing new fire hose
had not yet been presented, but would
be in h few days. The matter was left
in the hands of the fire committee.
It was called to the attention of the
council that several buildings had not
the proper fire escapes, the Masonic
hall, Ostrander building and the Haze
let building being mentioned. After
discussion the matter was referred to
the fire committee to take up with the
different owners.
The attention of the council was also
called to the storage of oil in build
ings, contrary to the rulings of the
board of fire underwriters, mention
being made of the Horseshoe pool hall
and the City bakery. The matter was
left with the fire chief to look into
and have remedied.
Dr. W. H. Chase, health officer, was
present, and gave a verbal report to
the council, stating that during the
month of February there had been 65
cases of influenza and three cases of
measles. The influenza epidemic was
gradually dying down and the situa
tion was well in hand; he said he had
sent out by wire for serum, which had
been furnished the different doctors,
and that he himself had made more
than two hundred inoculations. The
health officer also advised the coun
cil to look well into the matter before
allowing the fish meal plant to be in
stalled, and was informed by the
mayor that permission already had
been granted to Mr. Nelson to estab
lish his fish meal plant upon the as
surance that there would be no ob
noxious odors, and that the health of
the people of Cordova would in no
way be endangered. Mr. Nelson had
been informed that otherwise the fish
meal plant would have to be removed.
The mayor also stated that the ar
rangement on the City dock was only
a temporary affair, and that later the
plant would be moved out of the city
limits.
Another matter the health officer
j brought up was the difficulty he had
XXX-XXXXXXXttX*X«*»K<«X^vX*XXX*X i
had in several instances in having un
sanitary conditions remedied, citing
more particularly a case on C street,
where some rubbish had been dumped
over -the bank, and in cases of this
kind asked the co-operation of the
police department. Instructions were
given to the police department by the
mayor along these lines.
