EXPECTED AT
Although the Cordova school board.
In its annual estimate of expenses pre
sented to the city council last night,
asked for only $3,600, it was stated
that this estimate is based on the num
ber of pupils in attendance at the
close of the past school year, which
number, it is said, is almost certain
to be increased this fall, which will
necessitate the employment of an
other teacher and an increase in the
expenses of the school to $5,000.
The school board also recommends
the construction of a covered play
ground, where the children can exer
cise in the rresh air on days when the
weather is such that it is impossible
for them to play in the open.
On account of the expected increase
in the number of children who will be
in attendance at the next term of
school, the board also recommended
that one of the unfinished rooms be
fitted up with at least twenty desks.
The city council referred the mat
ter to the committee on public build
ings.
In order to have the main street in
first class condition for the Fourth
of July festivities, Councilman Smith
was authorized to repair that
thoroughfare wherever it is in bad
condition.
The Councilman present last night
were llegg, Adams, Smith and
Harmon.

The odor which emanates from (ho
fool of (’ street on warm days, and
which caused the residents In that
vicinity to protest to the city council;
against the presence of a number of
natives who live in that district. Is
j not caused by the Indians, according
to Health Officer Council, but by
| Saphrophytes.
The aforesaid Saphrophytes, it ap
pears, are present in great numbers,
and like the better known but less
favored pole cat, make their presence
known by irritating the olfactory
nerves.
The white residents demanded
either the abatement of the nuisance
or the removal of the Indians. Since
the health officer has shifted the
blame upon the Saphrophytes, it will
be necessary to take some action
against them. Although the health
officer asserts they really are harm
less.
The letter to the city council fol
lows;
June 19, 1916. '
To (he Mayor and City Council,
Cordova, Alaska.
Gentlemen; —
Replying to your inquiry concerning I
the sanitary conditions prevailing at I
and near the foot of C street, 1 respect- I
fully beg to report that I have, from!I
itlme to time, both prior and subse- _
1 quent to the receipt of your inquiry,
examined the conditions referred to,
and have found nothing calculated to £
endanger the public health. It la true
[ that on warm days at low tide quite
j a disagreeable odor arises front the
j tide flats, but this does not necessar
! ily indicate an unhealthful condition,
} since the process of decay produced
| by a group of bacteria known asj %
i saprophytes, which are harmless, no
cessarily occasions the odors in the (
disintegration of organic bodies, in-in
quiry reveals the fact that in the j :j:|
cabin complained of there are only
two elderly persons and one child re
siding. Quite a number of Indian
children may usually be seen playing j-it
in that vicinity, but they do not re
side in the cabin mentioned. Respect
j fully yours,
W. W. COUNCIL, \1. I).,
Health Officer. >s
