Council Vacates Ground
For Public Building
The principal business transacted
at last night’s meeting of the city
council was the passage^ of an ordi
nance vacating certain streets and
allies, in order that the proper con
veyance of the lots donated by the
Tomnsite company for a federal
building can be made to the govern,
ment. The supervising architect is
now calling for surveys to start plans
for Cordova’s public building. The
regulations of the treasury depart
ment require that a survey be made
of the ground and engineer A. J. Ad
ams was instructed to do this work.
Mayor Slater suggested that along
the lines of economy it might be well
to discontinue the use of the street
lamps during the months of June and
July, as there was no real necessity
for them at that time, when there is
r
little or no darkness. He asked the
Fire, Light and Water committee to
look into the matter and report at
the next meeting.
The question of a sewer from the
rear of the Cordova House across the
street and under the Alaska Build
ing, was referred to the Street com
mittee with power to employ an en
gineer, If necessary, and lay out the
course of the proposed sewer, and
also submit an estimate of the cost of
constructing the same.
Health Officer Council reported one
birth and no deaths. No contagious
nor infectious diseases were reported
with the exception of a case of pneu
monia. He recommended that the
city name the week beginning May 10
as “Clean-up Week.” Also that he
be empowered to demand that all per
sons using garbage cans have the
same properly covered and placed
where they cnnnot be overturned.
The council thought that he had au
thority under the ordinance to en
force any regulation for the good of
the public health.
Chief of Police Dooley found the
city very orderly, with no arrests to
report. He suggested that the lamp
I>ost at the corner of First avenue and
H street be given attention, bb it was
out of plumb and in need of repairs.
Fire Chief Byers reported having
just completed an inspection of the
chimneys and flues and found a few
defective flues, which he would see
were Immediately repaired.
Town Clerk Medley reported ex.
penditures of $293.85 for the month of
April, with a balance of $1,114.39 In
the treasury.
The School Board, through Clerk
Mosser, asked for an appropriation of
$400 for the month of April, which
was granted.
The Fire. Water and Light Commit
tee was instructed to furnish water
to tho fishermen on the city dock.
The Finance Committee disallowed
the bill of $10 for each of the election
officers on April 6, also the extra
charge of Judge Frazier of $5 for
turning over the election returns to the
town clerk and $1.50 for each oath of
office administered to the election
board and special policemen. Each
member of the leection board was paid
$5 as the total compensation for the
services rendered.
Councilman Davis called attention
I
to the request of a newly organized i
tennis club to erect a court on the
Lyons lot adjoining the Windsor Ho
tel, which would extend a short dis
tance on the street, but not interfere
in any way with traffic. On motion
the club was given the right to level
and use the desired strip of ground.
On motion of Councilman Howard
the Dally Times was made the city j
official newspaper of Cordova for the
ensuing year, at the same rate that
has been paid the AlaBkan for adver
tising.
