MUCH BUSINESS
COMES BEFORE
CITY COUNCIL
At a regular meeting of the city
council last night it was decided that
any taxpayer who has beefa in the
service in the recent great war and
has been incapacitated by reason of
such service shall be exempt from
taxes in the town of Cordova for the
year 1919.
The mayor instructed the clerk to
notify J. C. McEachran that his prop
'erty in Cordova was exempt from tax
ation for the year 1918 by a previous
vote of council, and for the year 1919
by a vote of the present council, and
to also notify the town treasurer of
the council’s actions.
The matter of the flood water from
the reservoir near Fifth street was
brought to the council’s attention by
Councilman Currier, who stated that
the overflow from the reservoir in wet
weather was too much for the city’s
sewer to take care of. After discus
sion the matter was ,referre(j, to the
city attorney, with instructions to
serve notice that the 'water must be
taken care of in a different manner,
and not allowed to run down the hill
into the city’s sewer. It was stated
that it would be a small matter to
divert the overflow water into the
lake on the other side of the hill.
Councilman Lathrop informed the
council that his attention had been
called to the Morrison building, on
Second street, as being in a dangerous
condition, and that after an investiga
tion he was not of the opinion that it
was in a very dangerous condition or
that it would harm anyone’s property
if it should be torn down. The other
members of the council present con
curred with Mr. Lathrop and in addi
tion the mayor stated that he had
written to Mrs. Morrison several
months ago about the matter.
Considerable discussion was in
dulged in relative to the w'et snow
falling off the cornices of buildings
into the streets and sidewalks, also
off the projecting windows. The city
attorney was instructed to look into
---.--*

the legal sftle of the matter and in
form the council at their next regular
meeting. In addition the chief of
police was instructed to notify all
property owners to keep the project
ing cornices and windows clear of
snow, and thus prevent accidents.
The monthly reports of the town
clerk, fire chief and health officer
were read and ordered filed. In the
fire chief’s report he gave an inven
tory of the city’s property under his
care, which the mayor stated was
the first report of the kind he had
seen, and commended the fire chief
for it.
The duty of the police department
in enforcing some of the ordinances
was gone into, and after discussion it
was laid over.
Under the order of business of
communications and claims against
the town, the city attorney and Mr.
Brock spoke of a letter received from
the A. C. Long Company regarding
the fire truck, saying the company
claimed that the machine was in good
shape when it left Seattle, and if it
was not doing the work something
must be wrong with the auto, and that
they had taken the matter up with
the Ford people, wrho in turn had
taken it up with their local agent at
Valdez. On account of the snow noth
ing could be done until spring, and
the city attorney was instructed to
notify the A. C. Long Company that if
the truck was put in condition and
would do the work the city would
accept it.
The council’s attention was called
to the matter of certain property own
ers failing to keep the sidewalks clear
of snow, more particularly on the west
side of First street, and on the side
walk on First street leading to the
dock. After discussion the clerk was
instructed to publish a notice in the
Daily Times instructing the property
owners in the Railway addition to keep
the sidewalks clear.
