Mail on New
Contract Here
I
The first mail, under (he new winter
contract, arrived from Fairbanks yes-1
terday.
Due to incompleteness of plans Con- j
tractor Brower has found it necessary j
to sub let the contract for the mail (
on the Fairbanks- Rapids route, the '
Gibson Sheldon line receiving the
award.
That the new contractor made a
wise selection in choosing this line to
handle the mail is evidenced by the
record made by the Gibson-Sheldon
line during the past summer when
they carried the mail under a con
tract of their own with the govern
ment. Although their agreement called
for a weekly delivery they at no time
were behind in the schedule and in
nearly every instance were days ahead
of the time allotted for the delivery

of mails. Many difficult places on the
trail had to he circumvented in order
to keep the schedule up, but the ex
perience gained in years of trail auto
travel stood in good stead and an un
failing schedule was maintained.

CITY OFFICIALS
TO BE VOTED
ON BY PEOPLE
At the regular meeting of the city
council, to be held tonight, there will
tie an ordinance introduced providing
for a special election to take place
for Ihe purpose of providing for the
election next spring, by a direct vote
of the people, of a mayor, city clerk,
attorney, treasurer and six members
of the council. This can be done un
der a recent election law passed by
the territorial legislature and is the
custom in vogue in most of the Alas
kan towns.
If the voters of Cordova decide that
they desire a vote In the selection of
the municipal officers they will he
given that opportunity, instead of it
being delegated to the members of
the council, as at present. After the
election of the first six councilmen
the members will draw lots to decide
the three who shall serve for one
year and the three to hold office for
two years. After the first election
there will he three members elected
each year.
in order that the proposed ordin
ance may become effective immediate
ly a special meeting will likely lie
called to secure the final passage of
the ordinance.
It is the intention to hold the spe
cial election on Tuesday, November
5, at thi' time territorial officers are
elected, and thus save the expense
of conducting a separate election.
