VIADUCT STEEL
EXPECIED SOON
According to F. A. Hansen, en
gineer of maintenance and construc
tion. steel for the big viaduct at
Riley Creek was expected to be
landed at Anchorage yesterday, and
will be hauled to the site prepared
for it about December 20, when the
erection of the structure will be
taken in hand without delay.
It will take about 25 cars to
haul all of the steel, Mr. Hans n
says, and every northbound train
out of Anchorage will take part of
it, until the entire shipment ha.
been moved to Riley.
All of the piers and abutments
have been completed and those who
will erect the viaduct are now ready
to commence work placing the steel.
The steel shipment totals about
600 tons.
E IS
NEARLY FINISHED
The work in conneeti >n with the
bridge which will span the Nenar.a
River at Mile 371, is reported to be
progressing rapidly. The men are
now working on the last pier and
are making good progress.
The middle pier is in ten feet
of water and a double row of theet
piling has been driven to keep the
i water out. It is thought that a third
• row of piling may be necessary to
! enable the workers to continue op
] erations without interruption.

CIIY DADS BUSY
—
The work of lawmaking was tak
en in hand by the members of the
new city counci!, at a regular
meeting held on Tuesday night,
with the result that about thirty
laws have been placed on the city's
books, as being punishable by iines
or imprisonment. The ordinance is
patented after one drafted by the
j Anchorage city council and pro
! '"ides for the disposition of almost
j any offense liable to require the at
tention of the municipal authorities.
Another ordinance adopted 'will
supplant the by-laws and regulfcti ;ns
under which the council functioned j
previously. ]
It having come to the attention
[of the council that federal license
rebates are accumulating at Fair
banks. ready to be turned over to
Xenar.a, the council elected Aider
man William Taylor to serve as
city treasurer.
The question of appointing a
permanent city clerk was discussed
and a decision reached to make a
selection at the next regular meet-:
ing. two weeks hence. At that time
also the salary to be paid will be
fixed.
There will be considerable work i
for the clerk to do during the first j
few months, in the way of opening |
the city’s books and preparing for
the first tax levy, and it is likely
a fairly good salary will attach to
the position. Several applications for j
the ptece are already on file with i
the council and more are expected. ;
Under the ordinance prescribing |
the duties of city officers, the fire |
chief has authority to insist that
proper precautions be taken to pro
tec-t property against fire, and the i
[Council has instructed Chief John-1
son to make the rounds of the city
frequently for that purpose.
The appointment of a city magis
; trate and chief of police probably
will be taken up at the next meet
ing. and it is likely that those offices
will be combined with others, in
order to keep expenses down.
