CONSTRUCTION
OF SEWERS WILL
SOONBEBEGUN
The installation of a sewerage sys
tem, the erection of a tablet to the
memory of Cordova’s war heroes, the
extension of the water mains to the
railroad addition, the purchase of a
fire truck and the regulation of dogs
running at large were among the
more important matters brought be
fore the city council at its meeting
last night; also the drawing of lots
for the term of office the newly
elected councilmen will serve.
Councilman Brock called attention
to the immediate need of startnig
work on a sewer system, by using the
funds available now for the purpose
and continuing the units each year.
It is the intention to begin the work
on B avenue and extend it through
the alley between First and Second
streets, with a final outlet in the bay.
The matter was referred to the com
mittee on public buildings and im
improvements, with instructions to se
cure necessary data as to cost and
report at the next meeting.
Councilman MacConnell reported
that the Alaska Public Utilities would
extend its mains to the railroad addi
tion, in order that the people there
can have the use of the city water,
providing the city agrees to place
hydrants there for fire protection.
This the council agreed to do.
The matter of the purchase of a
fire truck was discussed and finally
referred to the committee on fire,
light and water to ascertain the kind
of truck needed and cost of same and
report at the next meeting.
The running of dogs at large was
declared by the members as nuisance
and a menace. In order to secure the
proper regulation of canines the po
lice department was instructed to en
force ordinace No. 49 or to draft a
new one covering conditions. All
ownerless dogs were ordered killed in
the mean time.
Link Wain who was elected to fill
the vacancy on the council caused by
the resignation of W. R. Hillery,
failed to quality, and A, E. Lathrop
was elected to fill the office for the
ensuing year.
Under the election ordinace the .
l
mebers of the council who are to
serve for long and short terms are
selected by drawing lots. This was
done and resulted in Malcolm Brock,
J. E. Currier and Jack Sapiro being
chosen for the two year term and A.
J. MacConnell, Fred Haef and A. E.
Lathrop for one year.
Councilman MacConnell asked if
the council would approve of a public
subscription being raised to purchase
a suitable memorial to be placed at
the foot of Liberty pole in honor of
the Cordova boys who sacrificed their
lives in fighting for their country.
The suggestion was considered a very
good one and unanimously approved.
The publication of the tax sale was
awarded to the Cordova Daily Times
and it will appear in tomorrow’s
issue. The sale is to be held on
June 10.
Bonds of the town treasurer was
fixed in the sum of $20,000.
Attention was called to the condi
tion of the bulkhead on First street
and other needed improvements
which were referred to the street
committee for investigation.
