Considerable important business •
was transacted at last night’s meeting
of the city council. f j:
• »
In the report of Councilman Currier
of the street committee he stated to
•:
the council that the recent high wind l:
* I
and ice had damaged the float at the S:
City dock, and that he had had the
same repaired. He discussed the ne
cessity of building an approach, and
dock at deep water from the present 2:
•:
city dock to accommodate the mos
quito fleet. It was his idea, he said,
to have a survey made, estimate the 2;
cost and build out as far as possible •:
this year with whatever money was f;
available, and then extend the ap- •:
proach from year to year until the 2
project was completed. The entire • '
council concurred with Mr. Currier in •
•
the matter, whereupon Councilman 2
Brock suggested that the mayor in- •
struct the city attorney to look into •
the matter of obtaining a public right 2
of way from the end of C avenue to •
the starting point of the proposed ap- •
proach to deep water, and report at 2
•
the next meeting of the council. This •
instruction was given to the city at- £
torney by the mayor. 2
The mayor at this time again 2
brought to the council’s attention the 5
necessity of getting something started •
in the way of a sewer system. His idea 2
was to make an outlet on A avenue 2
to the bay, and after this work wus •
completed, to extened the system each 2
year with what money was available, f
and then extend the system each year •
as much as possible until the entire •
system was completed. After discus- 2
sion the city attorney was instructed •
to take the proper steps to form the •
city into an assessment district, ac- 2
cording to the act of the territorial j
legislature of 1919. *
A communication from the Alaska J

The report of the fire chief for the
month of January was read and or
dered filed. In his repdrt the chief
asked for 500 feet of new hose. The
chief was present and stated to the
council that there was at present 1.750
feet of fire hose, 700 feet of which
was in good shape. The balance of
it was not so good, as about five hun
dred feet of it was ten years old. The
committee on Are protection was au
thorized to look into the matter and i
get bids on 500 feet of new hose.
Some lumber that had been used to
make a pound was asked for by the
Boy Scouts. On motion the lumber
was donated to them.
The condition of the sewer running
under the bulkhead on First street
was brought to the council’s attention
as being in bad shape, and it was re
ferred to the committee on sewers to
look into the matter.
Chairman Brock of the fire commit
tee asked permission of the council
to have the city attorney wire to the
owners of the fire truck to repair the
axle on the fire truck, so that when
the Ford representative showed up
the truck would be in readiness to be
tried out. The permission was grant
ed, with instructions that the city as
sume no liability to accept the truck
unless the same was up to specifica
tions.
The matter of a light having been
installed in the rear of the postoffice
was brought to the council’s atten
tion. As this had not been requested
nor authorized, it was held that the
city would assume no responsibility
for it.
