At a meeting of the city council j
held Monday night, the street commit-1
tee reported that it had held a meeting I
in regard to adopting grades for the |
streets and that it was their venom-1
mendation that the grades adopted as
shown on the maps and profiles with j
the exception that the grade on Third j
from C to D be raised and that the j
grade on C from First to Water stre'tet;
be lowered from thirteen to twelve I
per cent. The mayor was instructed :
to take up with Mr. Corser for his:
consideration, the establishment of
grades as shown on the profiles and
to make such amendments as they
thought proper and report at a spe
cial meeting of the council to be held
on Monday night, September 27, 1920;
also that the city attorney draw up
an ordinance to cover the situation
and present the same at the meeting.
The city attorney called the coun
cil’s attention to the fact that a suit
had been filed against the city by
Mrs. Mary Morrison for the destruc
tion of her cabin, which was situated
in the alley between B. and A and
First and Second streets; that the suit
had been filed against Dr. W. H.
Chase and the Town of Cordova. The
mayor instructed the city attorney to
look after the matter.
Mr. Corser, superintendent of the
railroad, addressed the council and
asked the city to accept the lease on
the ball park for a matter of record.
It was voted to accept a lease from
the railroad company for the ball park
at a rental of one dollar a year.
The cemetery question was also dis
cussed. Mr. Corser informed the coun
cil that they had agreed to a certain
strip for burial purposes, but that
ninety feet had been taken and tised
which the company did not want used,
instead of the original strip as was
intended. This led to the question
of the Town of Cordova obtaining' a
plot of ground for a cemetery. A
committee of three was appointed to
look into the matter and see if a plot
of ground large enough for the pur
pose could be obtained along the new
road to the lake which wrould be eas
ily accessible at all times of the year.

Councilman Wolf, Haef and Harwood
were appointed by the mayor on this
committee.
Mr. Corser also spoke of the dan
gerous crossing at C street and stated
that the company would like to have
the crossing eliminated. Two routes
were presented, one from C down
water street and thence to the city
dock which would cost about $7900,
the other from C along the company’s
right of way and thence under the
tracks to tlfe city dock which would
cost about $5500.00 either one of which j
the company would stand half the ex- i
pense and in the latter route would ;
donate an eighteen foot right of way.
The matter was taken under advise
ment until the special meeting on
September 27, 1920.
The crossing at the approach to the
dock was also discussed, Mr. Corser
stating that when it came time to re
new the present plank street, if the j
city would build the road up along
the hillside so as to go over the track
instead of across it, the company
would take care of the work over the
track and the incline to the approach
to the dock.
Souncilman Brock stated the council
as a whole had visiter the site of the
Alaska Public Utilitie’s dam above
Fourth street with a view of ascertain- j
ing if the overflow water could be
turned and run towards Eyak lake
but that the cost would be prohibitive.
The question of taking care of the
overflow from this source was again
discussed and left in the hands of I
Councilman Currier to take up with
the Alaska Public Utilities and see if
an extension to the main with a valve
on the end of it could not be made in
times of stress and this valve could
be opened and relieve the situation
much more effectively than by open
ing the hydrants.

ly, representatives of the bureau of
