BOARD FAILS
TO FUNCTION
IN EMERGENCY
(From Anchorage Times)
No money available, no townsite
improvements, was the meat of the
nut Mayor John F. Coffey gave the
hungry members of the Anchorage ad
visory board to crack at the special
meeting last night held in the town
site office. The mayor-editor received
his information first hand from Mr.
Gerig, engineer in charge, who in turn
was advised to this effect by William
C. Edes of Washington, who in this
case acts as the actual chief advisor
as well as railroad commissioner.
Following this bomb, that shattered
hopes of additional sidewalks, street
improvements, water main extensions
and other minor improvements at this
time, Chairman F. M. Boyle stated that
the meeting was open for remarks,
complimentary and otherwise, to the
advisory citizens who form the board.
Like the call to meals, the opportu
nity was seized upon by several mem
bers who realize their duty to their
constituents, and strange to say, the
tiuestion of dogs, their uses, abuses
and pedigree, was thoroughly dis
cussed, to the end that the overworked
mayor was appointed to can the dogs.
A graduating scale of tax will be
imposed on all dogs, and rules and
regulations passed fully covering the
ever-present dog nuisance that is be
coming a menace to life and property.
Many and various complaints wrere re
ceived by the board from law-abiding
citizens and taxpayers, setting forth
the depredations committed and pray
ing for immediate relief. The ques
tion of livestock being allowed to
roam over the town lawns and private
gardens received due consideration,
and this nuisance will be abated
through proper and drastic channels.
During the course of the lengthy
meeting the fact wras prominently
brought out that the territorial legis
lature passed a lawr at the last ses
sion providing for a board of seven
trustees and a mayor for all unincor
porated towns. The act gives the
trustees ^power to pass laws, levy
taxes, fix penalties and other powers
applicable to all well-regulated and
well-conducted towns such as Anchor
age. ^
Several of the members were in
favor of taking advantage of the law
and disbanding forthwith. But after
due consideration and deliberation it
was decided to continue to advise un
til the expiration of their term, which
will be in about sixty days. At that
time, in accordance with the law, an
election will be called to elect seven
trustees and mayor, who will guide
the destiny of Anchorage until the
government sees fit to relinquish its
right or until the voice of the people
demands a change.
With the understanding that the
chairman could call a special meeting
at his pleasure, or would do so upon
request, Advisors Bennet, Lynch,
Cribb and McCain voted in the af
firmative to adjourn. It was not neces
sary for Chairman Boyle to vote, and
Mayor Coffey, who is in the same em
barrassing position as Alaska’s dele
gate in congress, had no votee. Ad
visors Lathrop and McNally, as usual,
were absent.

electric heaters are now for sale by
