MANY IMPROVEMENTS
PLANNED BY COUNCIL
The city council met in regular
semi-monthly session last night and
devoted most of its time to the dis
cussion of public improvements.
%
Chairman Currier of this committee
reported that the crossing on First
street, just outside of the south end
of the town limits, also the crossing
on First street near the forestry
office, had been repaired, as well as
the crossing on the corner of Second
and C streets. Councilman Brock called
the council’s attention to the bad con
dition of First street between B and
C avenues. The matter was dis
cussed at length and left in the hands
of the street committee to take up
with the engineer and report at the
next meeting of the council the esti
mated cost of putting the street in
firstclass condition. The street com
mittee agreed to meet Tuesday even
ing to go over the maps prepared by
the city engineer, covering the
adoption of official grades for the
streets so that theiP'report could come
in at the same time.
The condition of First street from
D avenue to the approach to the dock
was also discussed, as well as the
sidewdlk leading from the approach
to the dock to a point in front of the
Pioneer Packing Company’s cottages.
The matter was referred to the street
committee to make the necessary re
pairs.
Councilman Wolf called the coun
cil’s attention to the need of having
the railing from the Borden Building
to the Blou^n building boarded up!
solidly in order to avoid accidents.
The street committee was instructed
to have this done, and also to look
into the matter of having a sewer
from B to A avenue and report at the
next meeting of the council. The
tunnel for the outlet of the sewer
system was reported as progressing
slowly but steadily by Councilman
Currier.
Councilman Brock reported that
the new firse hose, ordered some
time ago, had not as yet put in an
appearance, but wms expected on the
boat arriving last evening.
The finance committee was auth
orized to employ a competent person
to audit the town clerk’s and town
treasurer’s books at a sum hot to ex
ceed twenty dollars.
The sum of $325 was allowed the
Cordova chamber of commerce to as
sist them in paying for the booklet
they recently had published.
The committee appointed to look
into the proposition of assisting the
Pioneers’ magazine, The Pathfinder,
reported that inasmuch as the coun
cil had just assisted the Cordova
chamber of commerce in their book
and that to assist The Pathfinder
would only be duplicating the adver
tisement, they could not report
favorably.
The bond of the treasurer of the
Cordova school in the sum of $10,000,
with the United States Fidelty and
Guaranty Company as surety, was
accepted.
