TO LEVY TAX
At last night’s meeting of the city
council two ordinances were passed,
one providing for the establishment of
an assessment district in the town of
Cordova for the purpose of levying a
tax for the construction of a system of
sewers, and the other to define and
punish certain misdemeanors. They
are known as Ordinances Nos. 69
and 70.
Chairman Brock stated that the mat-;
ter of proper fire escapes for the Haze
let, Ostrander and former Adams
buildings had been taken up with the
different owners, and that the commit
tee desired further time to work out i
with the proprietors of the buildings
in question the matter involved. The
mayor extended the time until the i
next regular meeting of the council. I
Regarding the new fire hose ordered j
purchased, Mr. Brock informed the |
council that in the bids received for
the purchase of 500 feet of fire hose, j
H. C. Feldman’s bid had been the low
est, and the order had been given to!
him. i
The fire chief informed the council
that their orders had been executed re-.
garding the placing of oil tanks in
the different parts of the city, and
that there was not. at present, to his |
knowledge, any such storage tank con-,
trary to the rulings of the board of |
fire underwriters.
Owing to the plans, specifications j
and estimate of the proposed sewer j
not being in evidence, the mayor stated
that an adjourned meeting of council!
would be held at his office on Wednes- j
day afternoon. March 17, at 3 p. m.,!
to fake up this matter.
Councilman Sapiro informed the
council that in making arrangements
to lease his building on the city dock
to Mr. Nelson for a fish meal plant
he had specified that the lease was to
receive the sanction of the council,
and that no bad odors would result |
from this industry.
The question of small boys being on
the streets in violation of ordinance
No. 25 was discussed at length by the
eouncilmen, city attorney and patrol
men. The mayor instructed the pa
trolman to enforce the ordinance, and
at the same time to take it up with
Scoutmaster D. C. Czerwenka and have
the Boy -Scouts help police the streets
in this respect, and also with regard
to having slingshots discarded, the
latter question having to do with a
large number of broken light globes
which the city has had to replace re
cently.
It was decided that the coming mu
nicipal election be held at the toAvn
hall, in the council chambers.
The printing committee Avas in- j
structed to ascertain the probable cost!
of having a hundred neAV ordinance
books printed, the committee to report;
at the next meeting of the council. .
An ordinance entitled “An ordi
nance making provision for the instal
lation and maintenace of electric wir
ig systems, providing for the enforce
ment of the same, and prescribing a
penalty,” was introduced, read and re-*i
ferred to the judiciary committee.
The resignation of Councilman J. B. j
Sapiro Avas read and accepted, to take
effect Avhen his successor had been
elected and qualified.
Several letters Avere read by the
clerk Avhich he had received in ansAver
to letters sent out by him requesting
information on the coal question. As
all the ansAvers to letteers sent our
had not as yet been received, the
question Avas laid over until the ad
journed meeting of the council to be
held Wednesday afternoon. Council
men Brock, Currier and McConnell
were appointed a committee of three
to look into the coal situation and
take the matter up Avith the local
coal dealers and get their ideas on'
the question.
The city dock question Avas again j
brought up, but Avas deferred until I
the meeting to held Wednesday after- j
noon, Avhen E. A. Graham will be pres
ent and give the council some informa
tion on the subject.
A committee of three Avas appointed j
to take care of Flag hill. The mayor
appointed A. J. McConnell, Fire Chief i
H. W. Nettleton and Patrolman George j
SteAvart.
The street light question Avas dis
cussed at some length, the patrolman!
claiming that the light globes Avere
not always replaced after they had
been reported to the Alaska Public
Utilities. It Avas suggested that here
after the patrolman report to the town
clerk, and that he in turn take it up
with the Alaska Public Utilities, and
they in turn to report back to the clerk
when th.e lights had been replaced.
