' CONTRACTS ARE AWARDED FOR j
CONTINUING WORK ON SEWERS
The city council held a lengthy
meeting last night and transacted
considerable business that had to do
with street improvements, sewers and
wharfage. The only absentee was
Councilman Donohoe, who is on a
visit to the states. Mayor Adams was
in the chair.
The street committe asked for and
v received more time to look in the
question of sidewalk repairs.
Councilman Haef stated that his
attention had been called to the con
0 dition of D street between Second and
Third, the north bank of the street
having slid into the street causing
people to use private property as the
street. The matter was referred to
the street committee to take what
ever action was necessary to remedy
the matter.
The need of a crosing across B
street near Third to the school house
was brought to the council’s atten
tion. The street committee was
authorized to put in a street crossing
using the best method possible.
A bid for the continuation of the A
street sewer from a point thirty-two
feet east of the east building line of
First avenue to a point on Fourth
street was received from the Alaska
Transfer Company for $2100.00 as well
as a bid for the lateral sewer run
ning up the alley from A street to a
point twenty-five feet from B street
for $1150.00 from the Alaska Trans
fer Company. Both bids contained a
proviso that an extra charge of $2.'j0
per running foot would be made for
any section of the excavation where
solid rock was encountered- It was
moved by Councilman Brock, second
ed by Councilman Wolf that the bids
be accepted. The mayor ordered the
roll called. Councilman Haef. Brock,
Wolf and Harwood voted aye. Coun
cilman Currier, silent; Councilman
Donohoe, absent. The mayor declared
the motion carried.
It was moved by Councilman Brock,
Brock and seconded by Councilman
Harwood that the bids be reconsid
ered. The motion was carried. Coun
cilman Brock stated that inasmuch as
Mr. Currier was chairman of the
street committee and had remained
silent in the voting of letting the con
tract for the sewer, he would like to
know if there was any reason why
^ the contract should not be let. In
answer Mr. Currier stated that the
reason he had remained silent was
because he wanted to resign from
the street committee as he could not
afford to put in all of his time on it.
This led to a discussion of allowing
compensation for the work and it
was finally agreed between the may
or, Mr. Currier and the balance of
the council that Mr. Currier was to
remain on the street committee until
the next regular meeting of the coun
cil and be allowed compensation at sc
much an hour for the time he puts ir
while attending to the city affairs. II
was moved by Councilman Brock and
seconded by Councilman Harwood tha1
the contract for the two sewers be
let to the Alaska Transfer Company
The mayor ordered the roll called
Councilmen Haef, Currier, Harwood
^Wolf and Brock voted aye, Council
man Donohoe, absent. The mayor de
dared the motion carried and instruct
ed the city attorney to draw up a con
tract with the Alaska Transfer Com
party covering the work. It was under
stood between the council and Mr.
Galen, manager of the Alaska Trans
fer Company, who was present, that
ninety days would be sufficient time
to complete the work, and that the
lateral sewer running up the alley
from A to B would be completed first
The city float question was agair
brought before the council by Mayoi
Adams who stated that the situatior
needed immediate remedying. It was
moved by Councilman Brock, seconded
by Councilman Harwood and unani
mously carried that the mayor appoinl

mayor would be ex-officio chairman
to investigate the matter thoroughly ir
all its phases and report at the next

men Currier, Wolf and Brock.

dova school board giving an estimate
of the cost of running the public
schools for the year 1920-1921. Same
