MARINE WAYS BUILDING FOR
RAILROAD AND ARMY BOATS
Permanent marine ways are being
built on r.he Xenana waterfront at
a point just below the Lehr sawmill
for the accommodation of the U. S.
army transport General Jacobs and
barges, and the several boats and
barges of the Alaska Railroad.
Captain Bergman, of the Jacobs,
is now at work clearing (the tract
of small boats and preparing for the
placing of the ways and it is said
the Jacobs will be hauled out of the
water after another trip to Fort
Gibbon. It also was intended to
bring the transport Davis to N'enana
but the order was countermanded
from headquarters after preparations
had been practically completed to
take the steamer from the ways at
Gibbon.
L. J. McCarty, well known hard
rock miner and prospector of -he
Fairbanks district, passed through
X'enana on Tuesday, enroute to the
Canyon district, where he has lo
cated a promising copper property
close to the railroad.
The F.ed Cross “box", containing
what remains of the effects of the
local organization has been turned
over to the city council for safe
keeping and is now in the custody
of City Clerk Henshaw. There is
nothing of value in the box except
certain records and cards.

COUNCIL DISCUSSES PLANS
FOR UTILITIES OPERATION
Operation of the public utilities,
over which the city will assume con
trol on the fits: of October, under
an arrangement about to be entered
! into with the Alaskan Engineering
Commission, was the principal mat
ter up for discussion at the regular
meeting of the city council on Tues
day night. It is the intention of the
council ultimately to reorganize the
forces employed at the telephone
and power plants, but it was decided
on Tuesday to keep the present
organization intact at least until
the plant changes proposed by the
commission have been made.
! City Clerk Henshaw, who has
had much experience with steam
plants, will be made superintendent
of public utilities as soon as the
council takes charge of the plants,
the plan being to put him in full
charge, in addition to his present
duties as city clerk and magistrate.
The appointment was not made at
the Tuesday meeting, but it was
agreed that it would be made at
the proper time, with a materia!
increase in salary.
The street committee was em
powered to expend not to exceed
J25 in street work on upper A street
it being understood that property
owners in that part of town will
assist in the work planned.
The street committee also was
authorized to arrange with C. X.
Christensen for an additional lot of
cinders, to be spread on the streets
as designated by the committee.
The council had previously con
tracted for 100 loads and the new
arrangement will involve at least
that many more. That portion of
A street between the depot and
First street has been given a liber
al covering of cinders and it is the
plan to extend the work to Second
street and east on Second towaru
the school. The cinders cost the
! city seventy-five cents a load, spread
upon the street.
The dog question was up for dis
; cussion again and Chief of Police
Johnson was given positive orders
to enforce the ordinance. Owners
of dogs are to be held strictly ac
countable and dogs without owners
will be killed if found upon the
streets.
The delinquent tax roll was pre
sented to the council for approval
and later the clerk will ask the
council for authority to publish the
list, after which the district court
will be asked for an order author
izing the sale of the property ad
vertised.
